Hi,
dear friends,
Below is my essay to Franklin&Marshall College, with the topic" what lead you to apply Franklin&Marshall College?"
Please help me to point out the unclear points or any other problems.
I'll appreciate your help and value your suggestions.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I choose F&M for I value the close relationships with my professors. I am the very student who manages to grasp teacher’s message through tacit eye-contacts, who visits teachers’ offices most frequently, and who always attributes much of the excellence in school to close relationships with teachers. Now I can even imagine the sunny afternoon, when I sit with Professor. Nicholas Montemarano in the exquisite Philadelphia Alumni Writers House interestedly discussing some of his newly published short stories and got his advice on my essay, when I happen to meet my adviser in Shadek-Fackenthal Library and we have a chat in a comfortable seating arrangement.As one of the top 40 colleges in America, F&M ranks 1
st in its faculty accessibility. As a girl who is constantly inspired and therefore deeply influenced by her teachers, I know that F&M is the place for me.
I choose F&M for we both have a keen interest on research. Still remember the many nights when I was writing a history report about Soong May-ling in my 10
th grade. I yearned for the valuable reports about her on New York Times, but I could only access the headline and leadin of some reports from their website. But things will be different when I enter F&M. I can read reports of the May-ling’s time not only from New York Times, but from other newspapers that reflects America’s review of her as well, I can make an independent study to take full advantage of the interdisciplined atmosphere, and I can even apply for the John Marshall Scholars Program to conduct the research and trace May-ling in Nanjing Taipei and New York. As a girl who has cultivated serious dedication to research and who has determined to earn a Ph.D degree, I feel that F&M and me will be a great match.
I choose F&M for there is a stage for me to show my ballroom dance talents. As a girl who has been fascinated by the elegance of ballroom dance for years, who has accumulated sufficient experience in the two-year practise as an instructor of the school club, and who has succeeded in organizing the 2006&2007 New Year Dance in high school, I know that I can find a place here at F&M. I am eager to meet professional peers in F&M ballroom dance club, I am passionate about introducing new ballroom dance steps to F&M campus and I even wildly dream of holding a magnificent “2010 Ballroom Dance Gala”in the newly built Roschel Performing Arts Center on the New Year’s Eve, when we will invite “
Chouchenn” to play the music, when we will be in our most shining evening attire, and when with the rhythm in shoes we gracefully step into a brand new year.
I know that F&M is an unusual place. From the first impression of the many red brick buildings nestling among green trees, from the sense of belonging I instantly felt at the sight of the Old Main, I know that F&M is the place for me.
