The College Essay

Finding "X",or describe two different types of people in the world are their essay choices for the University of Chicago. Not easy to answer nor to simple explain, but for some reason they found a way to write about these questions.

Tony wrote about "what is x" ending with finding "y" after losing Joe. David wrote about people who look up into the sky, and those who look to the ground; describing himself as the latter feeling the heaviness of his sadness, as if wearing a yoke, and living without Joe.

I post this tonight since I am amazed that Tony and David, who after losing a brother they dearly loved, found the strength to write such personal college essays.
