申请UIUC伊利诺伊大学厄本那-香槟分校的Essay范文：What Makes This Black Guy Himself?

Each year, the University attempts to admit a student class with diverse backgrounds to bring diversity to the University campus. In an essay of no more than 300 words, tell us why you would be a fine addition to the diverse nature of students and faculty on campus.

I dy odds. From birth, doctors predicted bad things for me based on my environment, including that I would not be intelligent, because I lacked proper motor skills and speech proficiency. Today, I have died those odds, because my mother didn&apos&apost believe their assumptions, and I didn&apos&apost believe them either. She pushed me to transcend all expectations, and has always supported me.

I am an intellectual, because I engage in rational and creative thought and I am a driven scholar. I get assignments done early at the library everyday. I employ critical thinking for my assignments. I assist my classmates with problem solving and memorization. I can derive a conclusion from a variety of choices and approaches. I use my ever-expanding imagination to complete projects and constructive work at school and church.

My parents call me the "Strangest Teenager in America," since I don&apos&apost talk to people a lot, don&apos&apost listen to music, and I&apos&aposm a black person that dislikes hot sauce. I have been more creative and comfortable in my home than outside since childhood, and I participate actively and ficiently within my house along with the rest of my family.

I&apos&aposm very talented at art; I have an aptitude for drawing and painting settings and living things. I&apos&aposve had exhibitions at art shows, and sold my art to people. One person said that I have "the mind of a mathematician, and the soul of an artist," and I am self-taught. I know how to blend colors together to appeal to human taste. I want to be as influential a studio artist as Stan Lee and Matt Groening are today. People know me as a shy individual, lackadaisical towards politics, music, but I&apos&aposm also a person with an easily triggered, explosive imagination.
