My Dreams of College
September 9, 2014
In today’s world, it’s so hard to attain my dreams.
And I will not accept that
There is more to me than just my grades and education
Its all about how I look on paper, rather than who I am as a person.
Sometimes, admissions counselors think
My SAT and ACT scores reflect me as a whole.
Therefore, it’s not true that
Students like me can gain admission to top tier schools.
But instead of being a pessimist, we should reverse this thinking.
