Today I will
be sharing the essay that I had wrote a month ago to the undergraduate
admissions team of the University of Warwick, describing in brief what I had
done during my holidays. They requested me to write this in order for me to
prove them my proficiency of English. At first I thought I screwed up the whole
essay, but luckily they like it and in the end I got accepted by the university in the end! Without further ado, here is it:
To: The
Undergraduate Admissions Team
First and
foremost, I would like to give my appreciation and thanks for the admissions
team for considering my application and at the same time would like to
apologize for submitting this important document late.
Yesterday, I
just came back from the 2 days Entrepreneurship: Startup and Design Workshop
organized by a non-profit government organization called IM4U. I was thrilled
to learn about the key features of entrepreneurship, steps in planning
systematically and thinking out of the box to create an Avant Gard product
which is highly demanded. I even got a chance to present the ideas to people
from all walks of age and got their feedbacks in order to improve my product
and make it better.
After graduating
from my A-Levels at December, I spent most of my days during January and
February with my family at home, polishing my soft skills while enriching my
thoughts with a couple of self-help books. In order to familiarize and prepare
myself towards pursuing law in the university, I enrolled myself in an online
environmental law course and accomplished with distinction. I retook the course
in order to get a better understanding and to revise what I learned before. From
cases as simple as a neighborhood nuisance as mentioned in Slairds V. Klewers to
a trans boundary pollution such as Georgia V. Tennessee, this course gives me
an insight of how the law serves as a tool to govern the management of the
environment in the hands of human, and to prevent the exploitation of nature
and its resources without considering the possible dangers it may impose to the
well-being of mankind and the environment.
March follows as
a reminder of how long I had spent at home and alerted me to go out and try new
stuff. Eventually, I ended up as a day care tutor in the day care near my
primary school. Acknowledging the fact that it has no immediate connection with
my degree subject, I still embraced it due to its uniqueness and simplicity
compared to other part time jobs. Teaching primary school kids trains me to
improve my information expression skills and language flexibility as I
constantly need to rephrase and reform my statements in order to make them
understand.
Currently, I am
reading a book called “Learning the Law” by Glanville Williams, a birthday
present from my uncle whom was a solicitor in Kuala Lumpur. Weeks ago, I spoke
with him and expressed my desire to learn more about the legal profession that
I was going to embark on and had a meaningful discussion with him. He urged me
to start chartering my course and have a rough idea of the direction that I
wished to go after my studies. He even encouraged me to spend my pastime reading
books that are related to law to sharpen and broaden my mind.
Next week, I am
taking a week’s leave to attend a compulsory camp organized for the national
scholars. Well, this is roughly what my holiday looks like hitherto. Should the
admission team require any further additional information, please don’t
hesitate to contact me and I will do my best in providing relevant information
in assisting the team in assessing my application. I hope to hear good news
from the admission team soon.
