Colleges don't know you. They know a piece of
paper with all your grades from freshman year pasted on it. They know a 500
word essay on what your favorite word is. They know a teacher recommendation
that says how hard-working you are as a student. They don't know who you really
are.
They don't know that you come home every day and
work on homework for two hours just for a twenty minute break afterwards. They
don't know you spend hours preparing for one test out of the three you have the
next day. They don't know that you work so hard and put so much effort into
getting a 4.0 GPA only to be put down by your parents saying they thought it
was higher. They don't know that you don't drink or do drugs because it'll
hinder your academic career. They don't know that you have to meet the expectations
of everyone around you because when you don't you feel like a disappointment.
And by thinking of all these things they don't know about you, you become a bit
more broken inside because they don't know you; they just know your application.
