Time Travel: College Admission Essay Sample

If I were a time traveler, I would go to what is now the southwestern area of the United States during the 1100’s. I would go there because I have always been fascinated with Native Americans. I am particularly interested in the Anasazi, “Ancient People” in puebloan. I am fascinated by them for several reasons. They were insane rock climbers who build dwellings high in the cliffs. While this was by necessity, it was still an impressive feat. I have a passion for rock climbing and being able to see these people cheat death to get to their homes and climb in completely untouched areas would be incredible. In addition, I have a passion for nature. Whenever I am on a hike, or even driving through a city, I can’t help but wonder about what the land looked like before any large human influence laid its influence on the area. I think that being able to see an incredible place close to my heart in an incredibly pristine state would be amazing. This time travel dream is directly related for my love of the outdoors. I have used this love of outdoors to guide my decision making process when it comes to college and what I want to do as an adult. While I am not positive yet, I am sure that it will involve spending a large amount of time out in nature, experiencing the world much like the Native Americans once did.
