"I was born with a dream, a passion of which I crave to develop. Writing has always been the way I choose to express myself, it has been the way in which I portray my ideas and it has been the way I have entertained myself during the years of my life. I have been fortunate enough to have the chance to develop this passion that I have, as it is something I do for pleasure and not for the grade, though it does feel good to learn from something of which I love. In other words, writing is that something of which I know my life wouldn’t be complete without. I’m mad, I write. I’m happy, I write. I’m sad, I write. I’m fearful, I write. I’m bored, I write. And when I feel surreal, with that mix of fact and fantasy, I pick up my laptop, and I write.”
This first paragraph is how the Personal Statement that I had to write in order to join the Innovation Academy began. This week I’ve been working very hard on my POL and I feel that ever since I joined the IA it has been amazing the immense amount of things that I am constantly learning.
This week I had to overcome a challenge. Giving feedback. It was almost impossible for me to give negative feedback to one of my peers. What if he took it the wrong way? What if I was about to lose a friendship? It was all so complicated.
“Motivation gets you moving. Determination keeps you going.” I started being motivated to get into Innovation Academy. But I am no longer motivated, now, I stand determined that this is what I desire.
I included that in my application too. And I still feel this way.
