The last year was rather tough one
because of my niece's entering university. It was my brother's dream
to make her a student. From her very birth, he was sure that she
would know what it means to be at college. I was extremely surprised
though that this task is not so easy to fulfill. So many
requirements, standards and norms should have been taken into
consideration so that she could be accepted. The case is I have
rather tender relations wit my brother, thus, my niece, Nelly, is
like a daughter for me. That's why, the whole admission process stood
me loads of nerves.
We stuck up with the college application essay. Everyone had their own opinions
concerning what should be mentioned in it, what should be emphasized
and what should be eliminated. Finally, we had come to some kind of
conclusions letting Nellie make her own decisions just trying to help
her somehow, showing her more and more positive traits of her own
which could help her stand out. What was our surprise when we found
out that admission essay is not about pure expressing thoughts and
arranging them into coherent constructions. Norms and standards were
those horrifying words which prevented us from a quick end. Moreover,
there were hazards even with proof-reading, since there was too much
information and we didn't know what to exclude. The time was passing
by and deadlines were appearing on the horizon. Nellie was desperate
and even n the edge of depression.
The help came from quite an unexpected
side. I came across it in the Internet, finally making the whole
family believe that it is not only the way of entertainment. To put a
long story short, it was an online service dealing with admission
essay writing Admission-Essays.org.
They offered us help with our admission essay in form of editing and
proof-reading, which was perfect for us.
The most interesting point is that it
wasn't about some bad performance. Nellie is a smart girl and she was
really good at all the high school subjects. Even math wasn't an
obstacle for her, taking into consideration the fact that all the
members of our family are, to put it mildly, not experts in this
field.
There were no problems with the
requirement concerning social activities, since she is an active
participant of the high school students body, a member of a so-coal
High School Students Body responsible for the students rights to be
protected and for the improvement of the studying conditions. The
fact that she's an eager dancer who performs with the dance group at
almost each school event was also a favorable one. Now writing all
this, I can't even imagine that an Admission Committee could have had
any doubts about Nellie's candidature. But still we had to take pains
to achieve goals determined.
All is well that ends well. Nellie is
now studying at college being absolutely happy. We have a fun
tradition of taxing each other via e-mails. And every weekend I get
nice letters from her accompanied with great pics. I'm so glad that
everything has worked out.
