Hello! I'm an university student in Minnesota! I am writing an essay to submit to the school that I am applying to transfer. I have been studying in the United States for 1 year and half but I still have lot of problem on writing ...Could you please correct this for me? (the essay must be less 750 words.) Please!!
I want to make someone’s favorite picture book
I am 20 years old, but still I look around for picture books section when I enter into a bookstore. I know it may sound weird when you hear that a twenty year old would still like to read books meant for young children. However I like them because I re-live my childhood through them. I still remember the texture and the feeling that I had when I was reading them. I still have the memory for each and every book I used to have and it is so much fun to re-live in those moments. So I sometimes go through the bookshelf in my house and pick some of my picture books up from there.
There was a book Sunshine, kind of a magazine for kindergarten kids that has lots of short stories and pictures. I remember that my mom came from her work with that book when I was little. That day, I was sick and staying in bed. I had to stay at home by myself since my mom had to go to work. I remember that I was so happy when my mom came home with jelly and that picture book. I was so into the short stories in that book and enjoyed them even I had a high fever. Also, there was a book Guri and Gura, whose story is about the adventure of mice brothers. In the story, they go to the little house in the forest, and they make a pan cake with their friends in the forest. That huge yellow pan cake was always seemed very yummy to me. I still wonder what kind of taste pan cake does. I did not smell the pan cake, but I remember the smell of it in somehow. Also, there was a book; my father is Ultra-man, whose story is about a Japanese famous hero character Ultra-man and his imaginary son. In that book, Ultra-man is a great hero and a dad at the same time. He comes home and plays with his son even he is so tired after fighting with bad monsters. My brother liked Ultra-man so my mom bought it for him. It was his favorite book even he does not have his father.
I remember more books. When I read them again or recall them, I remember not only the story but I remember what I thought, what kind of mood I was in, what kind of day that day that I read the book was. However, I do not remember them until I read those books again or recall them. Picture books can take me to trip to my childhood. It is nostalgic. Usually it is sad, but it is happy sometimes. When I read them again, I feel different. I never feel it in the same way when I was little. However, I remember how I felt back in days. I think this is wonderful. Picture books are wonderful.
I would like write picture books that will stay in some corner of someone’s mind and will take him to a trip to his childhood when he read it again sometime. I liked to draw and drawing is my great skill since I was little. I was a quiet girl who was drawing in her notebook while my classmates were playing outside. I was not good at any sport. I was so shy in front of people. I knew I was a plain girl. However, I felt special and proud of myself when people looked at my drawing and amazed. So I drew a lot and saw a lot of drawing of others. As I grow up, I started to want to be an artist. I have got so many things that I want to tell people in the world, especially people who is like me. And I want to talk to them through picture books. I want to talk to them when they are little, and I want them to remember it when they are grown up because I think my messages would reach them easily just it was for me. Reason why I want to learn more in (name of school) is because I want to get more skill to make my picture books more strong so that I can talk to readers through it. Also, I want to see, hear and feel more things because I would find more things I will get to tell readers. (Name of school) can give me not only degree but more inspiration and motivation do make my dream comes true.
