College Essay: Something New in my Life

The Start of Something New
I guess you could say I was living in my own world just like anybody my age. Nothing else around me was going on that would make me say, do or be someone different. But when that day came, I knew it would be something new in my life. Exciting?...I don't know, but scary for sure. High School was waiting to fill in the next for years of my life.
In the beginning, High School was not all thaat great. But with time I learned so many things and made new friends. Technology was abig part of it of course. I have to admit; I knew nothing compared to what the school taught me. Learning all these new thing about computers made me realize that I could go far and beyond. I understand that my learing abilities are a talent I posses and my zeal to learn contribute to a lot of the potential I have. I could use this somewhere else.
My High School career did not end here. This time around I took school more serious. My grades improved abd I knew this was not going to be easy. School was not and is not a jest for me and I am trying to get the most out of it. Going to High School gave me a vhance to "erase what I had previously done" and start agian, but this time with much more caution. I could use my great desire of achieving somewhere else.
Something new was really starting in my life. Before High School I was a very shy person. I learned that I could not continue like this any more, I had to meet new people and be more social. And so it happened this way! I opened up and became a new me, in that sense of course. I am now a people person. Interacting with people is one of my hobbies and talents, even though it may not always be easy. I could, though, use these skills somewhere else.
Where? College of course. College needs people like me; open-minded to the world of learning., great serious students, and social people like me. High School showed me that I can do all of these thing at a low level, so why can't that be the case with College? I know it is possible. With me at you school, I can help contribute to make it a better place for others and myself, than what it already is. I want it to be the something new in my life.

"LIVING IN A PREJUDICE WORLD" by Lourdes Vicuna and Sumit Pal

Living in a Prejudice world

PREJUDICE
Extenuating issues on judging others based on their looks, nationality, what they eat or how they speak leads us to a path of ignorance.
The society we live in is filled with haphazard decisions.
We are all equal in this world, but discredited based on appearance.
The inherent characteristics we posses are overshadowed, along with our visions.

PREJUDICE
We compromise our voice in society with our feelings of uncertainty and accept suppressing remarks.
Even those in an asylum would not acquiesce with the prejudice in this world.
Animosity was expressed by Capitalists after hearing of Communism.
However, prudent feelings make situations worse by dilating prejudice behavior directed to us.

PREJUDICE
And when the prejudice person is confronted, a skeptical attitude is given.
The disparity in one’s heart, just augments day by day.
The reason? There isn’t any, the amicable target doesn't look for revenge because he or she is equable.
Anybody with diffidence is an open target for those who are ruled by a prejudice life.
No one can repudiate what they see and hear when they live in a prejudice world.

PREJUDICE
Reclusive individuals live in solemnity.
This world is filled with stolid individuals who have incessant comments and hypothetical judgments about others who never did anything to anybody.
And so others join to discourse.

PREJUDICE
Exposure to satirical feelings and improper judgment is unethical.
We should laud each other for our accomplishments, impute one another, and live under jubilation.
Being perceptive is one thing that many people don’t consider.
However, we follow a derivative path with a stagnant attitude.
