Help me come up with something clever.

In 20 words or less, why should we pick you to come to Boot Camp V?


It's a snowboard thing for those intrested. I am looking for something clever and funny.

Thanks for the help in advance..

Chances are if you need someone to write an interesting 20 word paragraph about yourself, you aren't Boot Camp V material.

meh.. just trying to think of something clever

but gee. thanks for the help

because if you stay home you'll go so crazy awesome on your snowboard that you'll kill yourself...so they're obviously saving your life

i have some suggestions

1. instead of making it a sentence, just write 20 characteristics about yourself or 20 words describing what you would bring to them (ex desire motivation adrenaline challenge etc)

2. write something in the form of a limeric (sp?)

3. "I'll be all i can be" roll


These are the only "clever" suggestions i got for your boot camp thing.

meh i made something up myself.. thanks for your help

#1 might actually work. A good friend of mine had amazing success with hsi personal statement for college admission. It was just a long string of statements about himself. It went something like this

[quote3a531b9778]I was born in Florida, but I only lived there for 6 months. I play varsity tennis. I have a brain tumor, but it's okay. I'm a National Merit Finalist. My mom dated one of the Kennedys for a few months in college. I had the hiccups for two years (non-stop) as a result of the brain tumor. I'm a professional ski instructor in the winter and a swim coach when it's warm. My dog really is my best friend. [/quote3a531b9778]

My mom dated one of the Kennedys for a few months in college??? Why did he put that? I thought everything else was great. That is actually creative. I would not have chanced it putting it on a college admission essay. But Nation Merit Finalist and all looks really good.

I am curious about the standards for that. My gf had SEVEN national meriti finalists in her class.

Why did he mention that his mom dated a Kennedy? Of all the essays the admissions counselors read, which one do you think they remembered?

I was a National Merit Finalist as well. There were 5 of us out of a class of 200.

I don't recall what the standards are, but I'd say that they're probably not as high as people's perception of the honor might lead them to think.
