Baum English 406 9/6/13 College Prompt Response Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story. There are three things to understand about me. One is that I write as if I would be speaking it myself, second, that I inherently find things to be easy though I will never admit it was hard unless it truly was. Last but not least there is but one thing I do not truly like at all, Being Doubted ianand underestimated is one of my biggest problems with people. Being a child of a broken family I have grown up with my mother away from my family of either side. Growing up in this school system there were some who expected the most of me but there were some that from the beginning didnt expect much because I came off as lazy or boisterous. The biggest thing I naturally try to do is to prove people wrong. This is partly due to the argumentative nature I have and when it comes to understanding me I am one that hates to be proven wrong when it comes to who I am as a person. Ive gone through life with people always doubting that I can do something. In very few cases people are correct in their assumptions but what makes that possible is the fact that not even they themselves can attempt. I use to go day to day with doubt and underestimation. It is a personal vendetta to me because doubt in this sense is saying I am not good enough and that Im not worth it. I overcome this by being an opportunist, a person who does something without any reason. Being this way gives people little chance to think worse of me for it. My favourite phrases for who I am are Challenge Accepted and Why Not?. I live by these because I get bored with what is normal.
