Entry 4: Tables turned

I personally would look for more unique or interesting attributes of a person through their essay. I would see if they are creative, independent, mature, or determined. If a student doesn't have any of the attributes I would morel likely pick someone else who does, even if they have worse grades (as long as it's not by a lot). Grades aren't the most important things to be looking at, a person's individual way of thinking is very important as well. If a person was just to have good grades but is never good at anything else but studying what is he good for in the real world? The real world requires ingenuity only the ones who has a new or special point of view succeed in what they work for. If someone was to include pessimistic point of views in their essay I would put it to the side and maybe forget about it. I believe that pessimistic people don't just bring themselves down but also people around them, affecting the whole community. I would try to avoid pessimistic, selfish, and haughty people. The reason being that people with those attributes only bring about bad thing. Having a essay that shows such personalities just give a bad impression. It is better to get a good first impression than have to work your way up, because people may reject you before you have the chance to show them, to impress them.
