Dear the Rice Committee on Admission,
I’m a transfer applicant to Rice University. While I was completing the transfer application, I realized that the application does not fully represent me. Thus, I would like to seize this opportunity to tell you more about me and my reason for wanting to transfer.
I came from China more than six years ago. At first, I couldn’t speak any English, which makes adapting to the new environment very difficult. I remember vividly that in order to keep me motivated, my mother took me to Rice’s campus during my first weekend here in America. Immediately, I fell in love with its dazzling architecture, and I knew that this is where I want to go.
For me, education feels like a race. When asked to describe my high school experiences, I would tell proudly that I finished its race like a champion. While my peers had been raised in the American culture and taught the western ways of thinking, I stood alone with my Chinese ways of understanding the world. I had to learn everything that they know and take for granted in a compressed four years. Starting the race from far behind, I picked up my pace little by little. I believe that if I was given more time, I could have been the best. Knowing that I could overcome any challenges thrown my way, I thought I was ready to come to Rice.
However, I was not accepted. At first, I blamed this “failure” on my late start as an American student since I did not have the credential and experiences that my peers had. But looking back, I have had the most unique experiences and I also have made the most out of every opportunity that I had. When I was still attending junior high school in China, I had the honor to be among one of the first to join the Junior Communist League. Despite the convention, which entails that the league members do what they are told, I took initiative and organized the first fundraiser that our chapter has had. Now it’s quite amusing to think of those 12-year-olds walking around neighborhoods and knocking on doors with a shoebox in their hands asking for donations. But the fundraiser was a success as we were able to raise 50 US dollars for under privileged children in China. After I came to America, I participated and organized a few fundraisers for a women’s shelter. Yet, even though the same initiative and leadership still reside in me, I was unable to do anything that had the same effect of what I did seven years ago. I believe that I will be able to utilize my qualities through Rice’s programs and student organizations. With its welcoming environment and an active, diverse student body, Rice offers endless opportunities.
Even though the news of me not being able to attend Rice was disappointing and heartbreaking, it was never discouraging. I started my college race at full throttle, and finished the first semester with a beautiful score. Initially, I thought I worked hard because I was preparing to re-apply to Rice, but only to discover later that this is who I am: a perfectionist who never gives up trying.
While I will be deeply honored if I can have the privilege to attend your prestigious institution, I cannot let the acceptance to define me. It would signify a new beginning, a new race, which I will finish to my best ability.
I would like thank the Rice Committee on Admission for giving me this opportunity to tell more about myself.

okay here is my topic:

how does making connections between the past, present, and future contribute to the develpment of an informed participant in our society?

this is my thesis for my paper:

Becase the past paves the way for the present and what we are doing will determine what will happen next, using the content's standards in our students' daily activity will ensure they get the best education.

what do you think?

Hey, i am trying to write an essay about this poem by Anne Stevenson but i am having trouble understanding it. Please help me.

Making Poetry

‘You have to inhabit poetry
if you want to make it.’

And what’s ‘to inhabit?’

To be in the habit of, to wear
words, sitting in the plainest light,
in the silk of morning, in the shoe of night;
a feeling bare and frondish in surprising air;
familiar. . . rare.

And what’s ‘to make?’

To be and to become words’ passing
weather; to serve a girl on terrible terms,
embark on voyages over voices,
evade the ego-hill, the misery-well,
the siren hiss of publish, success, publish,
success, success, success.

And why inhabit, make, inherit poetry?

Oh, it’s the shared comedy of the worst
blessed; the sound leading the hand;
a wordlife running from mind to mind
through the washed rooms of the simple senses;
one of those haunted, undefendable, unpoetic
crosses we have to find.

thanks for your help
