University Application Filled Out By Fob Dad

Posted on January 19, 2010 at 02:32pm

Part of Stanford’s application involves answering the following essay question:

Virtually all of Stanford’s undergraduates live on campus. What would you want your future roommate to know about you? Tell us something about you that will help your future roommate — and us — know you better.

On his own initiative, my friend’s dad decided to take a crack at it. This is his final draft…

 

If my future roommate ask my any friend ,is Peter very very like to participate in school’s activities and friend’s party ? Well than he must get the answer that is YES. Certainly, with my friends, I very very like taking about how to approach the world and nature., doing home work, watching movies, shopping and taking dinner at a restaurant With my friends, I feel they do need me ,and that enables me to do something. So that I am sincerely exciting.

Virtually, letting everybody liking you is not easy thing. To remember since grade 10, I am highly interested in Math, Biological Science and Chemistry, and I have taken many additional courses about those. I participated in some Notional Contest and got great achievement. Gradually, some classmates ask me some questions. Sometime I knew how to solve at a glance with a little bit haughty attitude to answer. As a result, my classmates did not recognize me as a excellent person, and then become a “hero” among them. Therefor, I specially stray at a period. I begun to think and tried to do something for changing. At beginning, I corrected my prideful attitude, and lend an attentive ear to their to their ideas, and take a respected, humbly and patiencely with hem to discuss questions, and try hard to let them understand my solving ways. Whether how asperity language that even insulted my self-respect a student made, I still keep my temper with highly complaint when we met impetuosity dispute. On this time, I always talk to myself in my heart to try nicely treat people. Because they ask me questions this case means they have recognized me and respected me. How can I suffer from a small chagrin? Gradually, I have learned to allowance people. I feel more rap off each other is the best way to understand each other. Sometime I try to find out my disadvantage and outperforming myself. I face a mirror and give me a representation, and figure out a nice expression, to figure out a honest eyes that clap eyes on people, to figure out a suitablebility of dumb show and stand pose when I speech to somebody. Finally I have taken those format to affiliate with people. 

By the way, I will tell my future roommate, I would move in the bedcharmber in advance and patiencely wait he will coming. Then we will discuss to arrange how to use the space, then I will open my baggage. Maybe you could hear the welcome music I perform with viloa before you will enter the room.

    "I feel more rap off eack other is the best way to understand each other." <--- I agree!

    This is adorable on so many levels. It's so earnest! I love how he tried to be well rounded by describing one of his son's faults and how he overcame it. And how he tried to show how polite he would be by not unpacking until they discussed the room arrangement. And welcoming his roommate by playing the viola is too precious!The details are killing me! Cute papa. Maybe because I have plain old American parents who gave me lots of freedom and weren't involved in things like this, I see this as so cute and loving even though it's too involved.

    That is funny, and so disturbing. I would not want a roommate to play a viola when I enter the bedchamber, or wait for me in the bedchamber, for that matter.
