College Admissions Essay: To Open A Girls Home
I have always been a very open and curious child. Traveling and discovering new places and meeting new people I've loved since I was young. I've been to places like the Bahamas, Las Vegas, Florida, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Canada. My first trip was to Puerto Rico when I was one. So I have gotten to know many cultures and love the diversity. Traveling as often as twice a year sometimes to places long distance or even close by home.

    When I first started college I was set on working in adoption and foster care. The whole reason I wanted to be a social worker was because of the book A Child Called It. If you have not read the book, it is about a boy named David whose mother abused him in the most unimaginable ways. When the social worker came and removed him from the home I knew that someday I wanted to be able to rescue a kid like David from his home and help him to find a better life.

    I always strived to do the best that I can, in everything that I do, and this especially applies to academics. In 6th grade, I joined the honors program at my middle school; from then on forward, I made sure than my work was of high enough quality so that the following year I would be placed in honors courses. These courses are what I believe prepared me for my success in high school. I got a taste of what it was like to be in an environment where every pupil was hungry for an education and for knowledge, and I grew to want to learn as much as my classmates. I entered high school with courses that upperclassmen had that challenged me more than anything else had before. It was during my freshman year of high school that I realized that I couldn’t…
