Jesus is King! If you do not know Jesus as Savior please pray, “ Jesus save me. At this moment I choose to have faith that You gave Your life for me and rose from the dead. Doing this You defeated death, even though it meant You had to die. You surrendered Your life for me, so I chose to surrender my life to You. Forgive me Jesus, my God. Amen.” Jesus loves you so much. Please accept His love. I encourage you to read the Bible and pray. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten Son into this world, that whoever believes that in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 🙏❤️🙏 Jesus is enough! Again I tell you, Jesus loves you!

My son was recently admitted to Top 30 NU. I did not read his essay in detail and I told him I was a little disappointed about his essay because his topic was sports (I read many blogs and they all said sport was bad idea). After watching this video, I might change my mind because his stat was not competitive. He wrote about the day I gave him a ball and said someday, we would play football together. For few years, he was among the best soccer players in the city and chosen for a national competition. Then, he had difficult time, failing and losing all motivations in life. It was his last game in the secondary school and we have family team (fathers, students) against other classes. After the game, he realized he did not need to become a superstar to be happy. The game reminded him about the first day he got a ball from me and he felt connection between us. Those helped him to stand up and motivated him to involve in community and to make impact. I changed my mind, maybe I should tell him about how much I was proud of him.

[@tanayapickering4605]

Easy way I have found to begin an essay and get straight into it was using a personal anecdote. Tell a story about yourself briefly, could be one specific moment that caused you to introspect or great change etc. having this anecdote allowed me to branch off without getting off track and maintain a concise application

[@lobnanagi1297]

Did you mean anecdote in the intro? Can you give as an example, please?

Guys, I am an international student. And currently I'm working on my essay. It's about how I was miserable all the time moaning about my life. At that time there were happening lots of dreadful stuff. Diagnosed spine problems. My family was broke. And we did need to be frugal. And I was mournful and sometimes I wanted to commit suicide. But I overcome it by learning English, and that changed me. Because of English I stopped dwelling on problems around me and by the time they wore off. I discovered lot of things for myself as well. Learning gave me motivation to learn and do many other things. So now I am an upbeat person. So now I know Turkish. Also I am learning French. From English my multilingual way started. Now because of English I became better. What do you think about this essay?
