College Essay

 

            I am writing to the University of California to describe to them exactly who I am

and how I live my life. Expressing yourself to someone is a great way to get someone or

a group of people to like you and accept who you really are. Hopefully the University of

California agrees and likes what I have to say about myself.

             I am 17 years old, and will be 18 in less than one month. I am pretty excited for

that and hopefully life goes well whenever I get more than what I already have. I am a

worker at Kids Korner at the Mason Community Center and enjoy the job. My previous

employment was at Outback Steakhouse in Mason. Every night I would get chicken

wings and eat every single one. That job did not last too long because of the hours I was

receiving. They were not very flexible and I was working until 10 or 11 on school nights.

Now I’m happy with my job and hope it continues to work out the way it does.

             Wrestling is a very important part of my life and I enjoy wrestling every weekend

in the winter. This year, I will be on varsity at either the weight of 132 pounds or 126

pounds. Either way, they will both be very competitive weight classes and fun for me to

get the experience in. Currently, I work out with my wrestling coach 4 times a week, and

it is really improving my strength and skill. Every moment counts. Right now, that is all I

have to say about myself. I am really happy with my life and I’m hoping the University

of California is happy with what I have to say.
