When I listened to your introduction, I was already like “Oh my god, my writing skills are awful”. The skill of your writing and the story you were painting with your writing really inspired me to improve my writing skills and take up filmmaking!
Stanford is an incredible school and I wish you the very best in your future. Plus your writing is very fun and tells a lot about your personality to someone that has never met you like an admissions officer. The context is intertwined and depicts a picture of who you are. Next year is your senior year are you sad or happy or maybe even both.
I am both! I have changed a lot since I started school and am there have been huge bumps along the way, but I am excited that I have grown from my experiences.
Your essay really warms my heart. Love it! Thanks for sharing, Tiffany ;)
beautiful essay! what shocks me is that that beginning is EXACTLY what i’ve always planned on using for one of my own essays!
Tiffany, by far this is one best essays that clicked for me! Thank you for sharing it!
the last line was an amazing conclusion!! thanks for reading and for the tips :)
Keep Smiling, Tiffany. Its a pleasure watching u smile :)

that was a wonderful essay :,) & thanks for the reminder at the end of the video!!
this is like who you are as a person and artist combined.❤️👏
your essay was so good, well done gal x
Beautifully written
How do I get into Stanford as just a basic girl with no tragedies or heart breaking stories?
the only intresting thing that happend to me is my mom’s death which is just sad
@@hellono3936 oh no😔
Everyone’s had some sort of tragedy in their life wether it’s existential or physical. If you haven’t, you aren’t really living life. I’m sure there was some sort of difficulty you had to over come. Even growing apart from childhood friends or deciding what you want to do in life can be complex issue that you could discuss. Just because what’s considered a terrible event hasn’t happened to you yet, it doesn’t mean your life wasn’t hard. Suffering can be relative.
@@hellono3936 boy even if my ma or dad died I can never make it into a sad essay
Also, for a new video u should do like a “life through the lens”. Shaping a story about yourself from your past photos or even current. Probably a horrible idea but suggestions can be great
This was BEAUTIFUL and BREATHTAKING awwwww
Hi Tiffany, that was a great essay and I loved how you stitched everything together so eloquently. Wanted to pick your thoughts on what you would recommend for a graduate (masters) essay?
This was such an amazing essay! 😱🔥🔥🔥
I love your writing style
Excellent work!!
That was amazing essay. I don't know what am gonna write about. So stressed!
I need to know the music
It’s the chillest best I’ve ever heard 👌
Your photographs are impecable. Capturing detailed and aesthetically pleasing pictures definitely takes time. And also quick question do you like college more than high school or the other way around?
college for sure
Did you apply for computer science when you applied to stanford?
I’m currently in the middle of the college essay process, but I don’t know which topic I should do. Should I talk about
1) How I persevered and overcame struggles through gymnastics such as mental blocks and a very disrespectful coach.
2) How I changed from being confused to which culture I belonged to/being ashamed of my culture to embracing it and being proud of it.
Thanks in advance!!!

I personally think number two, just because im dealing with that too. It’s a struggle to accept my culture because of so many racist people so i often hid it and made myself a new “identity”
this was beautiful❤️
Stanford you are smart
did you get lasik or contacts?
Already @ 1:16 and this is so heart touching 😭
Damm that part about the soldier killing a four year old boy
I have the same instax blue polaroid
What’s the degree of your myopia?
If I were to comment in a single phrase, I would say ‘Simplicity at its best’. I felt a personal touch with your essay. Beautifully written Tiffany! When I sit down to my essay for the applications, yes I do feel wonderful about myself and want to express the same through my interests, however, I have had quite a number of failures in my life which, in fact, have contributed to my personal development. I feel my essay is incomplete if I don’t write about my mistakes. Is this a fair idea to include them in my essay? I need your feedback.
Hi!! I'm not Tiffany, so I'm sorry if you see my response and feel like you did not need it. But, colleges are looking for people who can grow, change, and flourish. They are not looking for "perfect people" because there is no such thing as a "perfect person"; we *all* have flaws and we *all* have things to learn. Therefore, it would be wondrous for you to explore your failures in your essay, *especially* if you think your essay will be incomplete without them!!! PLEASE DO SO!
Wow that was amazing, took my breathe away
You were in robotics, too? I’m on the VEX and FRC teams at my high school!

I want to save the 🌎
I am a horrible academic. Excellent writer. Entrepreneur by nature and have created some rather remarkable tools used today. I did the bare minimum in HS with a C- average. What are my chances of getting into Stanford?
0, but you could make a great entrepreneur!
is this plagiarized
