Switching Paths

It's funny how one person can leave your life and it sets your life in a completely different path. I guess it all depended on where I wanted go in life. I took it hard at first, but looking back, I have grown and learned so much since that person left. At first, I regretted the mistake I took to lose my good friend, but thinking back on it, it's probably the best thing that ever happened to me. I put my life on a better path and decided to make everything count. I appreciate those around me an… Continue

Essay

My name is Eric Lee, a 5th year student at UCLA. I grew up in Taiwan until I was thirteen and came to the US to study in high school and college. The combination of eastern and western cultural backgrounds helped me to see the advantages in each culture and influence my ideology. I appreciate the hardworking mentality in the eastern culture, yet I enjoy the outspoken and confident western culture. These two backgrounds allow me to adapt the goods from each and help me to grow as an individual.… Continue

Thank you, World

I am glad I am here. I am appreciative that I am here. What could I ask for? "Because my life will not live without me." I saw this in Tony Deifell's slide show and it just inspired me. I realize how much of a difference I have made in the lives all those I have come in contact with and it really makes me smile. I am more inspiring than I led myself to believe. I've done so much in my life that I should be very appreciative of and that I should be out celebrating my kindness, caring, support,… Continue

"Why do YOU do what you do?"

This is a good question that requires me to think alittle more than I usually do. Why do I do what I do? Because I think it's right. I learned to fail and I learned to do things for myself. Years before, I used to think my parents pressured me to do well and they constantly compared me to my relatives. It was mostly them, who were pushing me to be competitive, or they were pushing me to do my best. How can they measure my best when only I know my own limit? The first time I failed, I cried and… Continue

Bicycle

It's hard to say. Why do I get back on my bicycle after falling down and scraping my knee? People say life is like a roller coaster. I like to say life is like riding a bicycle. You could be so caught up in your enjoyment in riding it that you miss the rocks that stop you in your tracks. You could so cautious that you take away the enjoyment of riding a bike. You could take so many risk that you end up badly hurt. But the funny thing is... no matter what happens on your bicycle, you get back on… Continue

This milk taste like soy!

Although there are so many different types of milk, they all fall into the category of milk - a dairy product. We are all put into the category of being human, but how we act and what we learn throughout our lives, we become unique and different - much like the different types of milk. People will perfer certain milk. People will perfer certain people over others. When we change the type of milk, it disgusts us at first because of our unsuspecting taste for something new. I, myself, am trying t… Continue

Why I Do What I Do

Last night, I went to a Persian restaurant, Shamshiri Grill, with my 3 other Korean friends. They were excited because they have never had Persian food before. We ordered three Koobidehs and one Shish Kebob. Those plates were served with Basmati rice and grilled tomato. My friend, Jiyoon, asked me, "So how am I supposed to eat this?" I answered, "The best way to eat this is first, put butter on the rice and mix them so the butter can be equally applied to the whole rice, and then squash the toma… Continue

Wdydwyd Essay Long

How do you prepare yourself for the end of your life? How can you? How can you “prepare” to confront death, man’s greatest fear? This question is important because many people ironically live their life based on what they expect when they die. I have not yet found a complete answer to my existence after death but I am still searching, pondering. Many suggestions have been offered by various groups and friends but none are satisfactory or believable. After four years of probing for an answer, I a… Continue

WDYDWYD

I am a lost student unsure in what I’m doing. I try to get through each day one small step at a time, doing what is required and sometimes trying to do extra. From time to time I feel overwhelmed with all the work I am doing and with all the trials I know will approach me in the future. I want to get A’s, I want to be a part of the community, I want to participate in school groups, I want to get a good job, but there is never enough time. I do what I do because I feel I have to. I feel that if I… Continue

Music

What do I do? My name is Anthony Stover and I love music. One of the things I do the most is listening to music. Every day, every minute I can I put on some music and listen to it. Sometimes I even dance to it (mostly when I’m alone). Music is just something that I grew up with. I always love listening to Michael Jackson as well as many, many other artist. When I listen to music it gets me into a zone. I get into different zones all depending on what song I am listening to at the time. This one… Continue

WDYDWYD- Disc 1N

I am four years old and crying my eyes out. I’m at a summer camp with my brother, where I’ve just scraped my knees open playing outside. Each and every camp counselor takes his or her turn trying to get me to stop crying: silly faces, funny jokes, magic tricks... And then my brother, my knight in shining armor, comes out of nowhere. His six-year-old-self simply hands me a teddy bear, gives me a hug, and much to the amazement of my camp counselors, I immediately stop crying. I am seven years old… Continue

UCLA09-AA10-GarciaHannah

I am a spoiled brat. I have a loving family that I wouldn’t change for the world. I live in a beautiful home in sunny San Diego. In high school, I was Varsity cheer captain and on the homecoming court. I always got my work done, never struggled in my classes, and was always on top of things. Life has always been so easy for me. Not too long ago, I was thrown into the “real world”. That’s when I realized that I have been living in a bubble, and I am disgusted in how ungrateful and ignorant I hav… Continue
