文书范本
Cooking Up a Cataclysm
Goggles? Check.
Lab coat? Yep.
I was determined to start the mission anyway, a mission of proving independence, a mission of showing I did not need to be babied and demonstrating just some modicum of autonomy. My mission: to cook salmon.
I turned around, checked that my grandmother was asleep, and gave myself the go-ahead.
I turned on the stove, tossing pink chunks into the pan; the hot oil first sizzled, shook, then violently splattered with incredible vehemence.
I turned into a statue, frozen in shock.
I had neglected to wipe the wet fish before chucking it into the pan. Now I stood in pain, in panic, in my outlandish garb, wincing as each speck of oil found its home on my exposed skin. Then out of nowhere my grandmother appeared, my grayhaired savior with a lid, throwing her frail body before the pan to shield mine. The oil indignantly pattered against the lid as she set it down; I bowed my head in guilty silence, waiting to be scolded.
But Po-Po just took my hands.
“Are you hurt?” she asked in her rural Chinese dialect, gently.
I looked up from the dirtied kitchen floor, my mother’s sacred domain desecrated. There was no anger on PoPo’s tired face, only love, and splotches of reddened skin where the oil had scalded her. She wore no protective goggles, no fancy coat. I had been afraid she might be angry at first, but I was more shaken now, shamed by the realization that I had hurt her.
Yet, she never showed it. She never does. She did, however, accept my apologies and even worked beside me to help clean. Only when I appeared not to notice did she briefly disappear to check her burns.
I had acted rashly that day, but so had she, in confronting the volcano of hot grease. Only, her act of irrationality had been for my sake. I believe it to be the same irrationality that compelled her to leave her rustic home among rice paddies to immigrate to America, where she would work two menial jobs, where the people spoke a strange language ever beyond her grasp. She stood alone, enduring those hardships for the sake of her children and grandchildren. I stood alone for my own sake, to further some illusion of independence.
In reality, though I was reluctant to admit it before, I have always depended on people like her. I depend on them for the sweet, life-giving encouragement and the warm, unconditional love that makes everything else possible. They love me. They inspire me. They free me from fear of failure.
Indeed, despite all she has done for me, PoPo never asks for anything more in return than just for us to spend time together. She is simple. But so is love. Here is someone without so much as a high school education. Yet, it is through her that I have learned things no amount of schooling could possibly teach a giving heart, strength of character, a humble spirit, and most importantly, an understanding that I am connected to those who have made my opportunities possible.
As I see my grandmother’s quiet resolution, I feel invigorated, inspired. This titan of quiet strength makes me feel invincible. Her selflessness humbles me. Her love and loving sacrifices are pillars of my success. I just needed a little prodding from a malicious piece of fish to remind me that even as I stand triumphantly over my neat little heap of achievements, people like my grandmother stand with me, and it is on their sacrifices that I build my success.

申请顾问编著点评
本篇文书的开头会让人觉得这只是个一般的的故事，并且选取了一个非常平凡的小故事作为开头，会更让人觉得整篇文书比较平淡。但是，随着故事的发展，一点点深入，申请者将自己的价值观、对事物看法的转变与故事联系在一起，以小见大，可见深刻。很多这类的文章，大部分申请者都会用“My ______inspires me.”这样的句式开头，而这位申请者没有。相反，他用了一些短句开头，勾起了读者的好奇心，吸引读者往下读下去。
文书中申请者也成功的告诉了读者他是一个怎么样的人以及他生活周遭的人怎么样影响他的人生轨迹。从文书中，我们可以看到，申请者有自己的想法，想要为自己争取自己认为是对的东西，比如文中一开始的独立。但是随着事件的发展，申请者也认识到自己一开始的认知的狭隘，知道自己跟周围的人是密切相连的。他们对自己会产生必然的影响。不仅如此，申请者进一步升华，阐述自己从别人身上学习到的品质以及这种品质对于自己的影响。这样层层递进，申请者逐渐认识到了自己的人生跟别人的人生存在的关系，学会了更加全面的看待问题。
这种承认自己的不足，并且从中获得更大的感悟的品质和勇气是招生官非常喜欢的，相信这也是申请者获得录取的重要原因之一。
