My Application

 

Why I should be admitted into Harvard

                            By: Zobostic Corwin

 

Life experience alone adds up to 78 years.  I have protested as well as stood at attention.  I’m experience in both reading as well as writing books.  I have worn a law enforcement uniform and have viewed life from behind bars.  I have finished my vegetables all while keeping my elbows off the table.

I have broken bad habits as well as broken dreams.  I’ve shown sound judgement in the face of adversity and have sometimes missed the boat completely.  I have stood as a fireman, placing myself in harm’s way.  I have rebuilt the same vacuum cleaner six times, bringing it back from the brink of extinction, thus displaying a frugalness worthy of a college student.

I have keen awareness and comfortable shoes.  I always count my change and have clean hands and driving record.  I have traveled beyond the borders, and I know which one is shoe polish.  I never drink alone or giggle in church.  I have saved a life and squandered a paycheck.

I have survived a greater variety of jobs than the average man and have had more bosses than you can shake a stick at.  (I have no stick.  Let's be clear, there is no stick.)

I have glued my life onto this blog for all to see.  There are no surprises or monsters under the bed.  Consider this as my application and should you accept me, don’t say anything to my high school.  They're convinced I’m an idiot.

 

 

Thank you for your consideration
