"Without memories, you essentially lose who you are and what you stand for. I'd like to convince everyone to make as many memories as you can throughout your life because at the end of the day they're all you got."This excerpt is from Steven Tang's blog, under "The Faintest Memory". As we all begin applying to our colleges, we will have to dig deep into our past for evidence of experiences that might wow applicant admission readers or what not. We will all have to just sit down and think for a while, about what we have done, how far we have come, and where we want to go. The hard thing about college aps is that we need to know how to connect the three. However, I like how Steven focuses on the beauty of memory rather than its applications and usage for college admissions.
Steven and I relate to each other well when it comes to childhood memories, as we both think very fondly of them, and consider them to be special because of the type of mindset we had during that time in our lives. Steven and I most likely share some of the same memories as well, as we attended Bayfarm Elementary School together. These were definitely the golden days of my life, but then again, it seems as when you progress through life, you always see your earlier days as the best times of your life....but i guess that's how life is, you live to re-live.
Steven concludes his article by saying that when all else fails, our memories remain. Memories are a piece of you, the same way your personality is. They give value to your life, and bring out some of the best and worse of human emotions, however they are easily forgotten as new ones are added each and every day. It can be a curse, or a blessing to remember, but one thing is for sure, we are blessed with the things and people around us that make our lives so interesting and worth while.
