So all of this is almost over. I am done applying to colleges. Now I can sit back and fail the rest of senior year. Psh.
The deadness of my house scares me sometimes. Like when my mom is not home with the dogs. I am home alone. Smoking, and filling out Boulder's application. Anyway, here's my pesonal statement; it's already sent in.
My Inspirational Figure
Meaning can be found in just about anything; explanation cannot. Just slightly over two months ago, my father had passed away. The tragedy of his death is still hard for me to understand and cope with so I am choosing not to go into detail about his death. The illness was not to be unnoticed; but it turned out to be deadly. The emotional scar my family and I are left to deal with has brought upon grief. The goodness came out only to bring us closer together in this time. My experiences in life with my father had proved to be the best moments in my lifetime. I would never replace their everlasting mark. My father, determined to protect and ensure a happy life for my mother and I, had not gone unobserved for very long. This personal statement is a brief and less complex evaluation of his impact on me. Life as he knows it may be gone, but I am his voice, sight, and will. I believe he is giving me the strength to decide my future.
Leonid M. Perounov was born on September 17, 1942 in the U.S.S.R. The time period may have contributed to his sensitive, overbearing emotions that lead him to be overprotective. The communists had established their power in the country, and the people were voiceless. Government fell into the hands of corruption and political disorder arose. As a bright and prospective student, he had taught himself to ignore his surroundings, even if they may be positive. My dad was his own man and no one could control him. Still when I think of him, I cannot imagine the strength it took for one man to bring everyone around him the best. Many times his world had fallen apart, and most of those times he spent with my mother and I. He did not acknowledge the selfish motives of others. My dad always had something to look forward to in his day, and most of the time I felt like I was it. He made me feel safe in this world. The most important value is to my father was his family, and no one could ever change that in him.
When we first moved to the United States of America, I was about 6 years old. I had been through one country’s view and I was ready to move on to my second language. Language, as my father had taught me, is not the most important thing to learn. “You must observe the people and their respect to one another for true meaning”, he would say to my mother and I. My dad’s perpetual teaching was incredible. He taught me to learn, to apply, and to give back if I can. I hope to apply some of his methods to my studies. Because of my father’s teachings, I am the person he had always seen in me.
