When I completed my high school, I spent a year before I started to think of joining college. In the back of my mind I knew that when the time comes to join the college, I will just write an application essay mentioning the course I wished to pursue. Little did I know that writing application essay was something different from the usual application people must write. After sending my application, I waited for the response, but nothing came. I decided to go to the college to check what could have happened. When I made the follow up, I found that my application letter had been received, but it was not specific enough. Hence the lack of response from the institution.. I was astonished by the response because according to me an application letter never required many details. The university officer felt sorry for me, and took time to explain what was required in writing application essay, whenever a person was requesting for admission to pursue any professional course in any higher learning institution. The officer in charge of admissions explained to me that it must be very detailed. After he took me through the process of writing application essay I went back home to rewrite the application. This time giving consideration to all the advice the officer gave me, since I really wanted to join college. The officer was kind enough to offer to check my new application essay for me, before I submitted it. I did exactly as I was told and to my surprise it only took one week and I received admission letter from the college I chose.
