Born with breathing problems, I always feel weak, especially when coming down from high fevers. I had great difficulty at an early age of 6, and because of my condition, I had to stay mostly in the hospital or at home, deprived of the careless fun kids would enjoy outside. I even remember watching other kids with envy, as they play in the park or simply hang out with their friends. But the thing I missed the most back then is being able to go to school everyday. So when I recovered, going to school became a privilege for me. It was an opportunity for me to make something out of my life, from being a frail 6-year old to someone who believes that there are far better opportunities out there waiting to be explored. It was, indeed, a roller coaster ride for me, with my fair share of highs and lows, but I never stopped struggling to get on top and stand up after every fall. This same wisdom, I believe, is the key to my future success, so I am applying for your ____ college program, hopeful that I will be able to get the proper training and education I need to succeed in life.
