Denagall 2 Jordan Denagall IU Admissions Application Essay 07/19/2022 I remember right before the pandemic hit. I was already struggling at home because my parents had just gotten divorced. Well, when the pandemic did hit they were forced to still live in the same household. I remember waking up some nights and hearing my parents argue, kept awake, my sisters and I would just gather by the stairs and listen, because that seemed to be the only thing we could do. They would argue and scream and still somehow think that we never heard them, that it never woke us up. But it did. It always woke us up. Eventually, they ended up moving houses during the pandemic. And we had to split our time between each parent, which was really hard. The constant back and forth packing and unpacking was always a hassle for me and my sisters. It was especially hard when we had to do this all during our school year. For me, this was my Junior year, which I struggled to do online. This had to be one of the hardest times in my life. It felt like everything was falling apart around me and being secluded in my room all day every day didn't help. I was struggling with undiagnosed depression because I felt like a social butterfly that could never leave its cocoon. I think this is one of the numerous reasons why I want to join many clubs when I reach college. I plan to join a Spanish club because I want to become bilingual and talk to people all over the world, I would love to join a writing club as well because I love writing slam poetry, and I really want to join the Badminton club because it reminds me of playing with my Papa when he had barbeques. In college, I also plan on majoring in marketing. My dream job is to one day become a Management Consultant. Their job is to help people out with their companies by Denagall 2 analyzing problems and offering solutions. I want this job not only because I am good at problem-solving but because this is a traveling job, and I would be able to help people on top of still fulfilling my dream of traveling. Although these last few years have been hard, I still believe I can do it. I still believe it’s possible to leave my cocoon.
