Like a fine wine (lets say, a Mildara Rhine Riesling), sophistication cannot be faked by merely looking something up. I know this because of a rich life I have led full of meaningful experiences.
I believe it was John F. Kennedy who said “Someday, I’m going to be more quoted than both Mahatma Gandhi and Ralph Waldo Emerson combined, perhaps.” This quote from a great American leader who exemplified the American way of life is perfect for my life because I too am more quoted than at least two other people, somewhere.
My parents are also large, at least in terms of how much they have influenced me. As William Shakespeare once said in his play “Macbeth”, my parents are important to me. I identify with The Bard a lot because I am more sophisticated than most people and I can get his stuff.
I find joy in my day to day life, from the most perfunctory of tasks to those that are much more interesting as well. This is probably because I enjoy living life to its fullest. I am so full of potential, like a boulder at the top of an inclined ramp.
In conclusion, that’s who I am in a nutshell. If it weren’t raining cats and dogs outside, I probably wouldn’t have burnt the midnight oil working on this thing, but it did so I did. That’s why I am a perfect fit for your school.
