College Essay

     I have admired many intresting characters that I have read in books. The character I look up to though is Karen from the novel "It's Not The End of The World." Karen is brave, strong, positive, and she believes in herself. She supports her family in many ways. Karen's parents have been divorced and Karen is still brave and strong. Her teacher at school Mrs.Singer doesn't like her, as to Karen. She got bad grades like D's but after all that, she is still strong and ready for action. She always tries to forget about negative thoughts and bring positive thoughts in her head. For example, when her parents got divorced and she just figured it out, she started to get upset but later on, she tried to think about positive things. She believed in herself for trying to bring her parents back together and forget about the divorce. She knew she was doing the right thing and she wouldn't stop till she got her parents' back together in one home as a happy family. Even though at the end of the book she didn't get her parents back together, she still knew she had tried her best level to accomplish her goal but couldn't. For example, just look at the title, it sounds like a positive title. Karen is strong even though many sullen things had happened to her, she knows it is not the end of the world.  I want to be like Karen when I grow up, I want to be strong, positive, and a believer. I know I will accomplish my goals then. Karen is the person I will always admire.
