When my parents finally revealed to me that my grandmother had been battling liver cancer, I was twelve and I was angry--mostly with myself.

They had wanted to protect me--only six years old at the time--from the complex and morose concept of death.

Upon our first meeting, she opened up about her two sons, her hometown, and her knitting group--no mention of her disease.

Without even standing up, the three of us—Ivana, me, and my grandmother--had taken a walk together.

I became desperately devoted to my education because I saw knowledge as the key to freeing myself from the chains of ignorance.

While learning about cancer in school I promised myself that I would memorize every fact and absorb every detail in textbooks and online medical journals.

Before I could resolve my guilt, I had to broaden my perspective of the world as well as my responsibilities to my fellow humans.

Volunteering at a cancer treatment center has helped me discover my path.

One of the best ways to write an awesome essay for your college application or admissions personal essay is by learning from real college essay samples that worked.

So I've compiled some great college essay examples from a variety of student experiences as well as tons of supplemental essay and personal statement topics, like the UChicago short answer questions, the "Why This College" essay.
