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.
