58. Discuss the most important piece of advice you have ever
received and explain its effect on your life.
"The only emotion worth fighting for is the ability to laugh. It never lets you down. It at least helps you smile when things do not go your way" Is what someone very important to me had said this to my sister and me. He always said this to us when ever he was around and the only e-mail he had ever sent me, he had repeated the line to me again. I had received this message in the end of the year 2009, someone might say that it was not that long ago. But to me it is. When I first received this, I was confused about why someone might not smile or laugh. I really did think that it was a stupid thing to say at that point of time. I mean why would someone not laugh all the time? Because I was young and immature, which I sill am but have grown since then, this message really did not get through me until end of 2010 because I had a life changing experience and realized why adults had so much problem laughing. When people grow up, people just have a lot of things that make them sad, I was one of those people that experienced one of the sadness earlier than my age group people did. When I was alone, I kept thinking of this message he had told my sister and me, it kept sinking in little by little. In the beginning I thought too hard and I ended up crying because of it. Before I realized, tears would start to roll down and I would blank out. When I came to my senses after crying, I would be exhausted. So, instead of taking it all in at once, I took my time thinking about it, like in little doses. This technique helped me regain my self control (It still helps me when every I am angry or sad). It really is true when people say time helps to heal. When this message finally did settled in me, I just felt like saying "Hell" to all this crying and sadness. So, I made myself stronger not to cry and instead laugh when something hurt a lot. This really worked for physical pain because when every a ball hit me or I banged somewhere, I would force myself to laugh instead to cry! I still do this because I always think that I have an option to make people worried about me, or let them feel relieved. So, I always picked the option where I would like an idiot for laughing but deep down I felt relived that people were laughing because of me and not stressing out. Of corse this was the physical part to it but I always had trouble keeping this up with my mental part. I mean I love making people laugh, so I kind of do stupid things all the time. It also helps me hide my emotion. I have always been called an idiot or a stupid girl or a fat girl. I have heard this sooooooo many times that I got used to it. I normally laugh it off cause it so redundant and I know they are joking but that does not mean that it hurts sometimes. Like in class, I don't really like to speak and just cause of that I'm called stupid, that hurts a lot but then I think of harder things that have happened to me compared to any of them and I say to myself that " I am stronger than any of them." Of corse this might not be true but it's a way for me to build my confidence. So, when every this things happened, I would get enough courage to laugh it off with ought me feeling hurt. All of this is me because, the advice that person gave it me, helped me to come become strong. This was the most important advice I had ever received from someone.

I like the topic you chose. I think if you were to use this as a college essay you would need to use more specific details in order to help your reader understand what it is that triggered your apprciation of the advice. You also need to use paragraphs as no essay is usually a straight shot like this one.
