The link above is a link to my school common app essay project. The thesis of it, "A Story Central to My Identity", the topic of it, my record breaking 48 hour stay at an IHOP restaurant. One of the main reasons i shared this was to show off the fact that I hold a record for having stayed in an IHOP for so long. It is a feat that I have much pride in while others may not see the glory in it. The adventure was a struggle for the most part. It all became worth it when a plaque was hung on the wall of the restaurant showing the monumental event that occurred for all to see. I shared the document also because of the pride i have towards my work in the essay. I feel as if I showed a large amount of improvement throughout my many rough drafts. Instead of being idle with my progress, the essay began to flow and tell a better story with each draft.
Reflection is a to be successful in the future, you must understand the past.
