Legal Name: James Scott Stewart
Preferred Name: Jimmy
Date of Birth: 5/17/1994
Location of Birth: Moved around so much in the region of New England that it is uncertain. But last place of residence was within the woods of Massachusetts.
Year Applying For: Freshman
Resume (Activities of interest): I love music although I have never had the pleasure to learn any instruments. This certainly does not stop me from enjoying the many instruments that you can hear being played on stage. I have always kind of found knives to be an interesting forms of art but could never acquire too many since I had lacked the funds or places to keep them for very long.
Essay Prompt 1: How you would describe yourself? I would describe myself as coal. I say coal because I do admittedly look rough around the edges, but I do feel that all I need is a good sanding down to reveal the diamond underneath. This analogy works because like coal my wardrobe. I often find myself wearing darker colors such as blacks, grays, and blues, as well as skulls, biohazard signs, and band t-shirts. Obviously this wouldn’t be the case during class time as I have read over your uniform policy already.
My physical attribute are that I stand at 6 feet, slightly wide shoulders, and average skin tones for an Italian/Irish mix. My eyes are also quite normal, being just a dark brown but at the same time there seems to be something more. Another interesting about my eyes are that while they are already a dark brown normally they will often darken when feeling strongly about something both positive like anger, hate, and perhaps even love but I wouldn’t know as far as that last one goes.
My hair is medium length and is quite wavy and although it sounds contradictory as the perfectly messy look. I also have a blonde highlighted streak in the front that stands out quite well amongst the rest of my dark hair. My body type is a bit skinny but tall, maybe an improved diet than my past will improve this though.
Essay Prompt 2: Your life up until now. My past life was quite nomadic in the fact that I never spent much time in one place. The reason for this was because my mother had been a drug addict and my father a meth maker and between the two of them would often be kicked out of several places. This chanced slightly once my father had found a druggy so desperate that he traded a trailer for nothing but drugs and a hundred dollars cash. From there my family would still be live in trailer park after trailer park.
For many years my family was on the run from both those they owed money to and the law, me as a child never truly understanding it. But then one night both caught up to use, my parents gunning down a man they had owed a simple hundred dollars to. Needless to say that hundred dollars coasted him his life because I watched my parents in their drugged up state of mind, kill this man and continue to stab and shoot the body until police arrived. After that I was in the center of a deadly shoot out, no one being wounded by the end of it other than me after taking three shots while trying to escape. Luckily the shot that hit my shoulder had only skinned me, and the chest and leg wound missing all valuable organs if only narrowly.
After all this and the hospital treatment I jumped from different relatives as well as a few foster homes, never to see my parents again. Last I heard they’ll serve 4 life sentences with good behavior.
After my parents went to prison I acted out some causing many people to want their hands clean of my quickly, or not care about me at all and just kind of see me as a burden to look down upon rather than care and try and find the root of it, or even talk me about it. Even my grades were narrowly passing because my teachers never cared and just passed me barely to get rid of me. But the truth was that no matter what grade I was in the few days I was in I could often understand the material with ease and from there would just get bored and unmotivated again.
The reason you may be asking why I even plan to go the extra mile as to trying to come to this school, applying for all my scholarships and to a school that demands perfection is cause of two reasons. First off I would be rid of my current living situation with my current foster family who will probably not notice my leave for a month’s time, and that for once someone reached out to me instead of expecting it from me…
Essay Prompt 3: How you see your personality. Well first off I would like to go back to where I said that I am a diamond that just needs to be shined. One way that some can see this is that often I can seem so thick headed that you would think my skull would be made of the clear rock already. But the only reason that this is, is because this will most often show when someone is trying to be thick headed with me in some way. This act of dominance, especially in teachers, can often lead to being taken personally and cause more problems than any it would have thought to have fixed.
Sometimes I do have a hard grasp on what is right and wrong due to my past. The government therapist sessions that were paid for during my first couple of years seemed to try and install these right and wrongs into me but I often couldn’t grasp their concepts or just frankly didn’t care since I could tell they were judging me every step of the way. But since I didn’t participate I eventually was signed off as cured due to being a total waste of funds others could be using, couldn’t disagree with them much there.
I am actually quite intelligent if you are to talk to me and get met interested in a topic and often that is to be interested in a topic yourself rather than read something out of a book. None of my public schools seemed to grasp this and often wrote me off as a disrespectful punk that was even lucky to have learned how to speak the English language. This college I’m hoping has teachers that not only have a little more passion for the subject they’re learning but also hopefully know more than how to read out of a text book.
One last thing to note is more for my peers in general. I am not a very talkative and when I try I can often screw up, either sounding cocky or disrespectful. It is not often intentional but it does make socializing extremely difficult. This will usually lead me to sit in a corner listening to music and reading. But when I make a friend I can be loyal to a point, but I still know when someone is trying to screw with me.
(OOC: As a side note I would like to add that I don’t know how the questions could really fit in there like it is required but he will be going in wondering if mankind and life in general is worth living, as well as if the thing called love actually exsists.
