PERSONAL STATEMENT

These short personal essays help us become acquainted with you as a person and student, apart from courses, grades, test scores, and other objective data. It will also demonstrate your ability to organize your thoughts and express yourself.

PART 1
In no more than 250 words please introduce yourself to us. Let us know about your personality. Please remember that Monroe College likes well rounded individuals so be objective and remember to include some of your flaws.

I consider myself an extremely social person; I can’t imagine life as a solitary individual. I express myself either verbally or through dance, which I consider an art form. I probably come across as shallow to those who don’t know me, but that’s because I’m afraid to let people know the real me. I’m slow to trust and quick to care; most people say ‘quick to love’ but I’ve never been in love, never felt love for another individual, not even my parents. I care about them a lot, but love? It seems a little too much to extend to two non-existent parents. I have a tendency to be impetuous – sometimes it’s been a curse, sometimes it’s been a gift. I’m a people person and I’m very good at reading people; because of this, I get a little too wrapped up in other people’s opinions. Being alone scares me, so I feel the need to constantly please the people in my life to keep them around. I tend to be fiercely loyal but my lack of follow through is notorious – it’s not that I quit so much as I change my mind. I’m easily distracted and change my mind a lot, but I can be determined and very passionate too. I’m not the smart girl in class or the talented one, but I do try hard (though not always hard enough). I don’t want to be the best but I want to be remembered and maybe even loved.

PART 2
In no more than 250 words please indicate to us your likes and dislikes. Monroe is a center of excellence for more than just the academic and we like applicants to show they are passionate and opinionated.

I am extremely involved with dance; I was enrolled in ballet from an early age and have been dancing ever since. If I don’t stay at Monroe, I’ve been accepted to Juilliard, so clearly I’m passionate about dance. I also enjoy cheer and student led organizations but I don’t care much for politics. I like whatever makes me happy right now and I hate planning out every detail of the future; I like surprises. I hate art or music or writing that is so metaphorical or confusing that you can’t understand it; I want things in my life to be simple. If I wanted them to be complicated, I’d be a math major. I like the simple things, like spending time with the people I care about. I don’t like people with time consuming careers that have children (my parents). You can’t be devoted to a job, a spouse and a family; there aren’t enough hours in the day. I don’t like work for the sake of work; if I’m going to put in effort, there should be a good reason. I enjoy socializing and being around people; being alone is frightening and foreign to me. I don’t understand people who shun society or make a fuss about things that I perceive to be irrelevant. I like church but I hate being judged, so I feel uncomfortable ever going. I love to give people things – nicknames, gifts, etc. but I don’t like when people are ostentatious about their wealth.

PART 3
In no more than 250 words please tell us about your hopes and dreams for the future and where you see yourself 5 years after graduating college.

My future is always changing; I know I want to work with people but whether that’s as a counselor or a ski instructor, I don’t yet know. I don’t want to plan it all out. I know I want to travel and meet new people. I’d love to spend a year globetrotting, experiencing new cultures. I always wanted to learn another language, so maybe I’ll go to France and brush up on my high school French. I believe that I’ll still be in touch with at least my best friend, Blair Winters, and I’ll always be around people. I won’t be married to my career though; I never want to feel so tied down or be so busy that I can’t stop to enjoy life’s little joys. Even five years from now, I don’t want to be too concerned with responsibility. I just want to be happy, and whatever it is that makes me happy is what I’ll do, where I’ll go and what I’ll be. One thing my future doesn’t hold is certainty, or the attachment my parents want me to have. They want me to be grounded and to start a legacy as the second generation of Doctor Clarke at their hospital. But I definitely don’t want to go back to Pasadena. Ultimately, I know that five years from graduating I want to be making a difference. I don’t know what shape that will take, but I think I can do it.

PART 4
In no more than 500 words please give us a brief personal history of yourself and how you come to be applying to Monroe College.

My parents both attended Columbia University and met each other there. Their shared love of medicine brought them together. They didn’t mind the long hours they both worked; they each could sympathize with one another. So even though they only averaged about ten hours a week in each other’s company, they got married and moved to Chicago. A couple years later I came along, but nothing changed. They worked constantly and I was with nannies until I was old enough to take care of myself. Then they just entrusted me to the combined watchful eyes of the cook and the housekeeper. Fortunately, one of my caretakers had an interest in dance and had my parents enroll me in lessons at an early age. I enjoyed it and just never stopped dancing. It allowed me to express myself; I could pour my soul into a routine and let out my anger without anyone ever knowing. Not that anyone would have found out – my parents never attended my recitals. The most I got was my nanny cheering me on from a seat in the audience but it wasn’t the same. I viewed my parents lack of interest in me as abandonment so I’ve never allowed myself to trust anyone enough to love them; I haven’t really experienced the love of a parent so if love at that most basic level doesn’t work, I’m wary of loving anyone just because my heart tells me to.

When I was nine we moved to Pasadena, where my parents have been ever since. I’ve avoided ever taking an interest in science because I don’t want to be like my parents and become a doctor. Luckily for me, I’m probably not cut out for it. Instead I focused on dance and the more artistic side of life, but I never became the tortured artist that seems to be the stereotype of anyone labeled ‘artistic’. Dance and cheer were things I excelled at and through my participation in those, I made a lot of friends. I socialized a great deal and school seemed kind of secondary – I didn’t see the need to focus on calculus or physics if I wasn’t going to be a mathematician or a physicist. Dancers need to know how to dance and I thought I’d be a dancer. But after being elected to student council my sophomore year, I realized that life as a dancer might be a little lonely and I’d rather be around people. After all, anything that involved people, I tended to excel at. I applied to Monroe with the intention of becoming a teacher, but after my first semester decided that wasn’t for me, so instead I changed to a communication major. It didn’t seem like enough though so I added a Human Development and Family Studies minor. Combined with my activity in the Delta Gamma Sorority and I finally feel like I may have found a place – until I change my major again.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I’m somewhat claustrophobic and I’ve had to have counseling to help me overcome my fear of small spaces but I still have panic attacks if I get overwhelmed. It’s been a difficult road, but I feel like my struggles with this have strengthened me as a person and given me insight into a potential future career as a counselor.

In what way are Aaron Teegarden and Kyle Sterling connected?

Aaron Teegarden’s death started with Kyle Sterling and the sudden discovery of his conscience. Yes, Kyle’s death was a bona fide suicide, but the list of his metaphorical executioners reads like the society pages: Ashworth, Prescott, James . . . Graves and Roses. The truth is just another casualty.

PERSONAL ESSAY
PLEASE WRITE AN ESSAY OF AT LEAST 400 WORDS ON A TOPIC OF YOUR CHOICE. (RPG SAMPLE)


QUOTE
There really were times when Evangeline wished she was alone.
No, that wasn’t right. Not alone. Never alone. More like… surrounded by people she cared about, but in an undemanding setting. One where she didn’t have to talk or laugh or make note of the little details of her friends lives as she usually did. Moments when all that she wanted was to maybe be on a stage with a crowd of people she cared about watching her as she danced. It was funny, really, how Ev really hated forms of art that really made a person think hard, yet she channeled so much of herself into dancing. Ballet wasn’t just pirouettes and turns and tutus to her – it was expression of every emotion she was feeling or had ever felt, turned into motion. She felt like dancing right now, she felt the need to vent her emotions in a way that wouldn’t result in yelling, screaming arguments or bloodshed or the ending of friendships. Why did she need to vent? Because she wasn’t sure how much longer she could bear the burden of a guilt greater than the span of the Atlantic.

Ev cared a great deal about her best friend – Blair Winters, after all, was one of the few people that really understood her, or seemed to anyway. B was probably the person she was closest to out of anyone in the world and it was B that Ev had, unwittingly, betrayed. Granted, her blood alcohol level at the time of this betrayal should have given her a free pass, but Ev knew better. She might have been smashed at the time, but that would not excuse her for sleeping with her best friend’s boyfriend. And it shouldn’t – Ev couldn’t forgive herself for it, so why should B? The fact that Evangeline hadn’t even remembered the encounter until a couple days after it had transpired spoke volumes of how drunk she’d been (she had in fact, blacked out after one too many helpings of the very spiked punch). But when the fuzzy memory had found its way into her sober brain, Ev had broken down and had a panic attack.

She hadn’t said anything to Blair – she was terrified of losing not only her best friend, but all of her friends in the sorority. That kind of brutal backstabbing didn’t go unpunished. If it got out what had happened, Ev would lose Blair. And the rest of the DG girls. By extension, she’d lose any friends who were mutual friends with the DG girls. She’d lose friends with the Sigma Pi’s. Essentially, she’d be left friendless, black listed on all Monroe University speed dials. And if there was one thing Evangeline was afraid of, it was being alone. She had severe abandonment issues (thank you full time doctors, absentee parents) and the idea of losing all her friends and being completely alone (and by extension, the opposite of popular) she’d be falling victim to her greatest fear.

It wasn’t like this was a habit of hers – this had been a one time slip up, a huge mistake that had only been committed because, honestly, she’d been feeling a little distressed after a meeting with her academic advisor who had told her if she didn’t settle on a major soon, her future would be shot. She didn’t necessarily believe him, but she’d been distressed enough to do some shots with the Sigma Pi’s and well, she didn’t remember much after that. She was usually notorious for holding her liquor but everyone had their limit and apparently, Ev had learned hers the hard way. It was particularly distressing that she’d behaved in this manner to her, because not only was this her best friend’s boyfriend (duh he was off limits) but she’d slept with him – something she really didn’t make a point of doing (though she allowed everyone to believe that she had her fair share of “sleepovers”, that was in fact, not true).

So, thoroughly distressed as she was faced with lunch with her best friend in less than an hour, Evangeline locked herself in her room at the house, and tried to do the breathing exercises she was supposed to do when her claustrophobia was getting to her.  Narrowly having avoided a panic attack, she pushed her desk chair out of the way and cleared off space from the middle of the room and began to perform a slow piece she’d learned when performing in Swan Lake in high school. As she concentrated on her emotions though, she quickly found her movements becoming more fast paced, until she had transitioned from ballet to a furious dance that was more hip hop in origin, letting her emotions run out of her like water in cupped hands. When she stopped a half hour later, her chest heaving as she fought for breath, she felt, if it was possible, a little bit better. But not much.
