&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My name is &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;and as I look back on my life in High School and I &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;ponder what Iâve done that brought diversity to my school and my life, two thoughts &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;really stands in the forefront. The first is my involvement with the Lacrosse and Football &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Teams at&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;High. I had tried out for both teams but quickly learned that my forte &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;was not in playing but on the sidelines. The coach of our school is Mr. . He has &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;been the Coach for 30 plus years in&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; . In the 30 years he has taught, not once&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;has he had a student approach him in this manner. I convinced him to give me a chance &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;and I guess it paid off for both of us as I have now been managing with him for the last &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;four years. I feel my taking the chance to try something different from anyone else in the &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;past really shows how diverse I am. I have always felt variety in life is what keeps life &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;interesting.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Secondly, I started Cub Scouts when I was 7 working my way through the ranks &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;to Life Scout at the age of 16. The lessons taught to me through those years were &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;invaluable, the self discipline and responsibilities given by my pears truly expanded my &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;abilities not only as a Boy Scout but also in my life. The real reward, however, was &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;passing down my skills to the younger Scouts. Watching them grow as I had done &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;brought tremendous satisfaction having once been in their shoes. It really showed me that &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;giving on a personal level can change peoples lives. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I hope these two experiences will show you my passion for life and my appreciation of&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;being a part of a community that works together to achieve great things.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;While I have researched many fine colleges. I feel that the ______________________is &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;the right choice for me. I truly hope to start the next chapter of my life at your school.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
