Okay so recently I decided to write my member story and came across the question, "What inspires you?" I thought about it and the answer was longer then it was supposed to be but I didn't want to change anything. I decided to write an essay about what inspires me for my university application (eventhough it's in a year and a half)

And I would very much appreciate some feedback :)



What inspires you?

Simple things inspire me. Everyday and always. I have a fascination with the city and it's lights because to me the overall outlook of my city is my inspiration because it's full of opportunity to express myself, test myself, better myself and allows me to walk down the busy streets freely, confidently and independently while it's lights shine on me. And when I'm inside, and there aren't any lights around, I'm still shining. And still, the simple things are inspiring me. Walks in the park by myself with hot coffee inspires me because I'm left alone with my thoughts and I reflect and then I go home and have something to write about. Even though, I always have something to write about, it gives me more to write about. Many things inspire me, a photograph, an article of clothing, a person on the street because they can all be interpreted in my own way. I'll see their beauty in my own way.
