Pick one of the many propositions that are on the California ballot this November. Explain the positives and negatives of the chosen proposition if it were to pass and if it were not to pass. [Honors students are to do two essays.]
This is to be in essay format — although the instructor isn’t too concerned with the standard 5-paragraph model; get to the point and then conclude, that’s enough. Citation is a must, but the instructor isn’t wild about MLA; if you’re not an English or Foreign Languages major, you shouldn’t be either — use whatever citation format is the most dominant in your field of study (most Social Sciences uses APA). Length should be roughly between 750 and 1000 words. Opinions and personal anecdotes should be kept to the conclusion, if included at all.
Rubric:
An understanding of what the proposition does
Equal treatment of both sides of the issue
Clear and deep analysis of the positive aspects
Clear and deep analysis of the negative aspects
Proofread — in politics, if you’re not clear and reasonable, you lose the argument.
Timeliness: a 1/3 of a grade per day will be deducted for lateness.

Basic College Admission Essay
* There is a specific topic it needs to be on, but the writer can use as much creative reign or freedom as they want or see fit. 🙂
Here is the copied and pasted admission prompt:
“Share a meaningful experience and how this has helped shape you in your preparation for college. This could be related to your passions, commitments, leadership experience, family or cultural background”.
I’d like the essay to be about the experience of working at an assisted living facility full time as a teenager and how it impacts ones world view and motivation. Put simply, I would ideally like the essay to be on how it’s a tough job but I’m grateful for all the experiences and lessons I’ve learned etc. and its impact on my life now and moving on into the future.
I know this is weird but I’m having a hard time getting something good put together myself, I struggle with creative writing.
There are no specifics that need to be added or mentioned (if I want to later, I can always add those myself) but it does need to touch on at least a few of the aspects listed in the prompt such as it’s impacts on “my” passions, commitments, leadership experience, family or cultural background.
Again, feel free to look at it as a creative writing piece. I understand it’s supposed to be personal about my life experience but you can just write a response you feel accomplishes what the prompt asks adding the information I listed above. It’s an admissions essay, so the more personal and meaningful the more it will stand out and be helpful to me.
Thank you for reading, please feel free to ask me any clarifying questions!
Everything has to happen in time, my grandma used to say. We are born, we have to get married earlier to get children so we are young enough to take care about them. Then we get old and we have no energy to do anything and our children will take care of us. Get married earlier and be happy, she said.
I did not get marry early. Indeed, I did not want to get married. I wanted to pursue education. Because I come from a different country, it took time for me to develop and shape myself as I am now. I could not get into university in my native country and it took time for me to do it here. Language barrier and life style changed everything. My persistence changed and reshaped my mind.
I got my bachelors degree late in life. One of my advisors told me, why dont you take care about your retirement? You do not need a degree. I still want a graduate degree. I want to succeed. I want to declare that I am a researcher and I am persistent. I have goals, I have determination and the age cannot break my goals.
My long-term goal is to change the world and make it better. Our world is already changing in a better way, it is accepting what was not acceptable ten years ago. Coming from a disadvantaged segment of society, where my family had to eat cabbage soup and buckwheat porridge every day, I can say that our society needs a fighter like me, who can point kids to the right direction. I want to tell kids not to give up in their life. I want to tell them to look around before they make a bad decision for themselves. While the research is a good opportunity to compile and understand the reasons of our cultural, societal, and educational problems, I want to travel all around the country and decide together with people what we can do to make our life better, which problems we should focus the most on.
