college essay ..what do you think???? please help me!?

tell me what you think about my essay which i am applying to a university??????I NEED THIS HELP REALLY BAD!!!! please!~

Tell me my errors?????

When I look at this picture of myself, I realize how much I’ve grown and changed, not only physically, but also mentally as a person in the last couple of years. Less than one month after this photograph was taken, I arrived at North Shore Community College without any idea of what to expect. Around me in this picture are the things which were most important in my life at the time: becoming somebody.

I will strive to be a tremendous asset to Northeastern University by devoting all my time and life to becoming an excellent Student. I believe that I am obligated to use my talents in a constructive manner, in a manner that benefits society. The medical career gives me the unique opportunity to express my many talents while benefiting human life.

I believe that my ability to improved and expanded my communication skills since I was constantly meeting new communicate makes me well suited to pursue a medical career. I also consider myself a “people” person. As a sales consultant, I see a lot of people and discussing different topics. Because people constantly disclosed their personal issues to me, I learned to become not only a good conversationalist, but also an excellent listener. In medical school, I also plan to pursue side work like Volunteering. One of my most rewarding experiences has been helping patients as a Personal Care Attendant.

I am Highly motivated to succeed, I dramatically improved my grades following a time of confusion and immaturity at North Shore Community College, which was brought on by family.. In the past year I have learned a lot through my experiences and relationships. I’ve realized that I was trying so much to make everyone else happy that I wasn’t keeping myself and my interests in mind at times when I should have. Once I realized what goal I wanted to pursue in life, I worked hard to succeed in life

I have been diligent in my pursuit of medicine as a career because I am convinced that medicine offers me the opportunity to live a fulfilling, rewarding life dedicated to helping others. I will enter medicine eager to learn. Attending Northeastern University would be one of the greatest rewards for my motivation and persistence for success.

Well, to be honest, this is good and it looks like the other 2000 essays that were submitted. You are motivated and diligent, both are good traits and how does that set you as different (more admission worthy) than the other students? What does this tell me about you as a person, about your passion, your interest, why you chose this path, what ‘significant events’, or critical incidents or defining moments happened to you along your life path to take you to this destination.

Always have three reasons. Always! You need to craft three ‘take-away-messages” that someone reading this will remember. Something other than diligent and what was that other one? You need to be memorable. These folks have your grades and based on them they know how hard you work in school (motivation and diligence) so you have this essay to tell them something new.

First paragraph… change to:

When I look at this picture of myself, I realize how much I’ve grown and changed as a person in the last couple of years, not only physically, but mentally as well.

Second paragraph, don’t capitalize student.

Change: believe that I am obligated to use my talents in a constructive manner, in a manner that benefits society to—

believe that I am obligated to use my talents in a constructive manner, one that benefits society

“Discussing” should be “discuss”

Don’t capitalize volunteering or personal care attendant or highly

Change sentence to: Once I realized what goal I wanted to pursue in life, I worked hard to succeed.

Great content, just a few minor errors. Good luck!!!

No you can’t. For 2 reasons: 1) you will not have had the same experiences to her so what she has written is irrelevant to your life 2) colleges check for plagiarism. If you are caught copying someone else’s work they will reject your application immediately. It’s not uncommon for people to be caught like this so it’s not worth taking the risk. Certainly use her essay for ideas and a good guide to follow but it should not be exactly the same. If you are having difficulty maybe you could ask her to give you some tips.
