College Admissions Essay: What Goes Around Comes Around

What goes around comes around. This is a worn out cliché everyone has heard. However, it’s more than that. This happens a lot in life, and you can probably think of more than enough instances of this than what is worth counting. Another term for this is reciprocity.

When someone thinks about their mental life, some may think “I’m perfectly healthy” or “I don’t have mental problems”. Yet, for others, they may think “Yeah I have some mental issues” or “Yeah, I get nervous from time to time”. For me, anxiety has always been a problem of mine. I can’t even begin to describe how many times it has gotten in the way of me trying to enjoy an event, or spending time with family, because my mind is constantly racing. I’ve struggled with anxiety since I was a kid. Not only do I struggle with it, but members of my family do also. I believe that I may have gotten my anxiety from my family but it’s always been something I didn’t talk about.

About four years ago, I was just starting my first year of high school. During my previous tenure in middle school, I was basically an average student with multiple C’s and barely passing classes. So when I entered high school, I was not that enthusiastic about it and I continued the trend of not really caring about my grades in the 9th grade. As I became more aware of the opportunities I could get by receiving good grades, I began to actually care more about school and tried to get good grades. I began to do something that I never did before,

I like to think of myself as a person who can appreciate and understand everyone's opinions. Although I might not agree with them, I feel as if everyone's beliefs and thoughts deserve to have equal initial respect. This leads me to where I was first introduced to discrimination and racism, the exact opposite concepts I now try to surround myself with. I have lived in Cross Roads, Pennsylvania for the entirety of my young life and if there is anything obvious about my community, it is that we are not very advanced in the diversity department. My hometown is predominantly white, which brings on a whole new set of problems concerning discrimination and racism, especially when a family of a different race moves to our community. Now don't get me wrong, my family, my friends, my neighbors, are not bad people. Most of them are great people but a few have just been brought up with idealisms that I myself find racist in nature. As an example, someone I spend a lot of time with because of family relations is in many ways ignorant to people different than them. They, like me, grew up in a

    In modern days karma is seen through cause and effect, just as it was in Shakespearian times. Nowadays, negative karma is

Has your body ever left your mind so far behind a thick, veil of the spider web you’ve woven, to escape the dreams that have become realities, when in fact, it is merely a dream and not actual fact…

“what goes around, comes around” is full of truth. Anyone who has learned this simple

Karma is a belief in which if you do good, the world will reward you, and if you do bad, it will punish you. Just like in physics where every action has a reaction, is how it is in real life. If you commit a good deed, then somehow, someway, the universe will repay you. Bad actions lead to consequences which is what the universe will be in charge of.

Ever since I was a little girl, I had dreamt about becoming a doctor. While other little girls wanted to be fairies or princesses, I always wanted to play with my toy doctor kit. I thought I could make a difference in people’s lives and be able to help them. My mother always told me that even one person can make a difference; that no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, one can touch people’s lives, which is what truly matters in the end. She always reminded me of the Chaos Theory, or more popularly known as the Butterfly Effect: the concept that a butterfly in New Mexico can flap its wings and cause a hurricane in China. One’s action will ripple, whether good or bad, and make an impact at a later state depending on what caused it.

Riding a unicycle is probably pretty interesting. I originally wanted my parents to get me a pogo stick for christmas because they never got me one when i was little, but they couldn’t find an adult sized one in their budget. So they figured something else that is equally strange would suffice, and it really seemed to fit my personality.The reason I started my essay with a reference to my unicycle is because it shows some good aspects of my character. Since riding a unicycle took multiple months for me to master, it shows that I am persistent, even if I fall a few times. Though riding a unicycle is interesting and fun, it’s not my main priority. I’m extremely passionate for film and theatre, and there are a few things about me that really do a fantastic job at getting me ready for a career in acting.

My eighth grade year I slowly became someone I never wanted to be, and I didn’t even realize it. I became a deceitful liar. Constantly lying that much made me physically ill, every single day I could feel a huge pit in my stomach that devoured more of me. Every single day. I eventually got in trouble and got my phone taken away. Right now you are probably saying why is this stupid girl telling use these things about herself, doesn’t she want this? Well, it is relevant I promise. When I got my phone back the first thing I did was deleted all my social media, decided to focus on school, and joined Volunteer Club at my high school. In school, I pushed myself to get all my work done, and have I have gotten all A’s my entire career. Volunteer Club

Everyone has to make choices in their life. Some are everyday choices, like what to eat or drink. Others are more critical, like choosing a job. Important decisions take time to comprehend. Like with me, the decision to go to college was the most critical choice in my life and for my future, and I will never regret it. Going to college is important because it helps me find a job, it expands my knowledge, and it is a wonderful experience.

I grew up in the church. My father was a deacon and my mother was a Sunday school teacher. I never remember a time that church was not the center of my life. I experienced great hurt in my young life and nobody knew pain I endured. I would not realize until much later in my life the affect that one event would have on me. My teenage years were turbulent. These years were a time that was marked by poor choices and rebellion. I developed two lives. One I projected in the church and the other outside the church. I never really gave the fact that I was living a double life much thought.

Whatever you carry out in life, please accomplish it well because one day it will surely come back in another form to you. The law of karma ?what goes around comes around? alternatively, I will say what ever you sow you will surely reap.

I believe in good karma. Some may say that it's just a coincidence that one gets a sort of reward after doing something good for others, but I am sure it's good karma paying us back for our actions.
