Title Length Color Rating   California: My Biggest Disappointments Ever - My visions of California before taking this course is a sunny, beautiful, happy and carefree place and those visions are partly because I visited there nine years ago. Upon my visit I concluded that I would eventually move there when I'm ready to start a family. My visit to California had left a tainted image in my mind, an image of a place where I could leave all my cares behind in hopes of staring anew, but what has left me speechless is the fact that I have no memory of particular events that lead me to this strange obsession over the state.   [tags: California essay] 1044 words(3 pages) Unrated Essays [preview] Impact of Visist California in Tourism -. Countries such as Japan, China, South Korea, and Germany are influenced to visit California to experience semi-tropical weather, California’s reputation as a “leading food and wine destination and showcased additional travel experiences from arts and culture to outdoor recreation” (About Visit California, 2014).

College Admissions Essays How to Answer Prompt 1 for the College Application Essay  for the University of California: “Describe the World You Come From” Only read this if you are applying to a UC (University of California school, such as UCLA, Berkeley, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Irvine, Santa Cruz, etc.). There are two college essay prompts for their required personal statements for incoming freshmen. Here is some advice regarding the first one: Prompt 1 (freshman applicants) Describe the world you come from — for example, your family, community or school — and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations. Read this closely. Note that it asks you to describe one thing and then tell about another–so there are two points you need to address in your essay. When you describe the world you come from, think of this in a figurative sense. Do not just write about your hometown. Instead of the word “world,” try substituting it for the word “community” or “background.” As a “community,” almost anything can be your world (a mini-community of shared activities, people, passions or places), from your yoga class to your bedroom to your job washing dishes to your grandmother’s kitchen making tortilla soup to your two moms. It’s wide open. Just pick a topic. Also, the examples they give, “family, community or school” are just that, examples. Do not write a little about each of these. And do not just write about “my family” or “my school.” Way too broad. Write about your uncle’s magic shop in an underprivileged neighborhood, or the Scrabble club you started at your school even though you are the world’s worst speller, or the old movie theater in your town where you first fell in love with cinema and the power of a visual story.

Looking for your World to answer the University of California Prompt 1? A high school English teacher contacted me this week asking if I had any sample essays for the University of California college application Prompt 1. She was using my guides and Essay Hell blog posts to help teach her students how to write their college application essays.  The teacher said she had my collection of 50 narrative essays, Heavenly Essays, but that I had not included what prompts they addressed. She was right. I only introduced the sample essays as examples of personal statements. (It would have been too confusing to explain how each essay was used for different colleges and prompts in the book.) Most were used for The Common App prompts, but many were also written for the UCs, including Prompt 1. I told her many students end up re-tooling their Common App essay for one of the UC essays. I told her how the idea of describing a world should be viewed figuratively. A student should be able to say after writing this essay: “Welcome to my world!” The idea is that they have written a piece that reveals what their life is like, or at least one important piece of it, and helped the reader walk in their shoes. Related: How to Write About Your World It also helps to read these posts that talk about how to think about the Describe the World You Come From prompt first, and then check out sample essays. To help the enterprising English teacher, I went through the 50 essays and found the ones that either were used for the UC Prompt 1, or easily could have been used for that one, since they wrote about a world. I sent her the page numbers, (some listed here) in case you have Heavenly Essays. They include students writing about everything from the world of: living with divorced parents (30) two lesbian moms (59) three older sisters (33) discrimination based upon race (45) an extreme religion (84).
