MISK prompt: What differentiates you from different people? 6/11/2020
Sample, accepted essay.
Ever since I was a young girl, I was never afraid to express my feelings and voice my
opinion. I am an excellent public speaker, able to catch the audience’s attention through debates,
presentations, and speeches. What helps me with the audience is being able to improvise on the
spot. I can, when asked to speak about a topic I know enough about, immediately present it with-
out preparation.
Learning is something really important to me whether it's in or outside school. I always
seek for more ways to increase my knowledge. As a child, channels like National Geographic,
the Discovery channel, and Animal Planet broadened my way of thinking and gave me a level of
understanding on many topics which lead to my interest in these topics today. Subjects I’m inter-
ested in are anthropology, culture, history, mythology, and criminals’ history. I also have a lot of
baseline knowledge on several different subjects, like HTML coding and writing.I am a skilled
writer in various genres, namely dystopian, horror, informative nonfiction, and even children’s
stories.
To me, obtaining knowledge is not limited to what school teaches, it is more of a life-
style, and lifelong activity. That is why I take time to learn basic skills that help grow my person-
ality, such as sewing, playing the ukulele, and interior design. I am an extremely fast learner,
and I do well in stressful environments, which helps me keep up with school and my projects.
As an entrepreneur, I am responsible and always coming up with new business ideas, al-
though they might not seem realistic for someone my age. My ambitions are greater and higher
than me, yet I am determined to achieve what I want.
To conclude, I am a very well-rounded person. I believe that my excelling in multiple
fields, potential, alongside my persistence makes me a good candidate for MISK.
