28. Attach a small photograph of something important to you and explain its significance. (Stanford)
How much do I really know?
Everyday I go to school and everyday I try to learn something new, something interesting…something that will make me jump on my feet and shout “
Eureka!” The ocean and the sky seem endless but seem to almost meet somewhere way out there. But I know that when I reach that end point in the picture it will always lead to another seemingly distant endpoint. This picture signifies my goal in life. I’m here at school searching for that the moment of
Eureka, that moment of satisfaction when I know that I’ve learned a significant amount in my life. The journey of knowledge takes us far beyond anything so vast in our life. It is one thing I cherish and it is one thing that I know will take me far. The determination and strive I have to take me to the end of this picture where the clouds in the sky seemingly meet the blue green ocean is tremendous. The determination I have to reach the greatest knowledge that I can acquire is more than the world of knowledge out there. This picture makes me want to jump out of my chair while writing this blog and scream “
Eureka” because this picture made me realize that the knowledge I can acquire in one possible lifetime is only a small fraction of the knowledge really out there, and it makes me want to strive for the perfect knowledge. High school is just the beginning of the journey to my learning capacity and it saddens me that it will have to come to an end sooner or later. So in order for me to make the best of my time with all the information out there for me to soak in, I have realized that I need to work hard and play hard. I guess that it’s a really commonly used phrase which I don’t really follow, but after seeing this photo, it made me think of all the things that are out there for me, and for the rest of the world. So why not go out there and swim in that huge, mesmerizing ocean and gaze at the bright, blue sky?
