Above When You Go Beyond

This was written as part of a scholarship application. The question is not important, but here's the answer, my answer.

The purpose for education is to advance one’s knowledge and capacity for success in life. I believe a student's status, or any one in general, should not be judged from where they have been, but where they are going.

I personally have my own dream to venture into the world of environmental law by the highest and most prestigious means possible. Not just possible for myself, but above and beyond myself. When you’ve got nothing, you’ve got nothing left to lose, so why not take the endeavor to succeed in what’s beyond possible.

What I plan to do in environmental law is as limitless as a starry sky, and just when you see a shooting start, you say to yourself, “That’s where I want to be.” But the thing is, that shooting start has been and will go to many places. Still, you go where ever life takes you, and leave your memorable mark for all the people on the planet who can appreciate something as beautiful as a shooting star.

The Nature of Gravity

Sitting in the library as I was distracted from the book I was reading by a man riding a bicycle outside on the pathway, I couldn’t sway my thoughts from putting myself into his shoes.

My mind went first and then I was lifted above gravity itself as I felt the motions of what it is to ride a bicycle. Pedaling down the endless path with no destination but my own satisfaction I suddenly veered to the left.

An explanation I cannot give you except for the sensation of the smooth turn against the very nature of gravity. Why I turned left and not right I cannot say but I would never turn right for the satisfaction I want.

It will always be a left.
