Scholarship essay

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to my apartment where all madness happen during the night.

In my neighborhood, people play loud music that sings in a language that I barely understand.

Gun sounds roar like thunder, and blue and red lights flicker; I constantly hear male voice

coming from a microphone. Cockroaches crawl and scavenge food inside my apartment. When I

spray Raid, these little brats know how to dodge and even sprint faster than Usain Bolt. At the

end, they turn their back, stick their tongues out, and sing “la Cucaracha.” Even worse, Ants

invade my room, climb over my arm, and tickle me so bad, I can’t sleep peacefully.

            I am sick and tired of living in my current apartment and thinking about moving out.

However, I don’t know where to move out. I was searching every single classified ad in

newspapers, they didn’t have the ones that I really like. However, I searched through

Google.com and there came a fabulous website called Vacancy.com which made my life

easier than ever. The site gave me details about apartments including pictures, floor plans and

price info . After taking some hours looking at listings, I found an apartment called, “Esquire,”

which is located in metropolitan Mid Wilshir area .

 This apartment has all specifications that made me satisfied. First of all, the price is so reasonable for a

studio apartment that has stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and new floors. While other studio

apartments in my Torrance neighborhood ask for thousands of dollars for such a clean setting, it costs me

only nine hundred fifty dollars a month. Second, the complex has a rooftop skyview lounge that I can

overlook whole Los Angeles cityscape. Instead of driving all over Griffith Observatory to enjoy

the scenery, I can easily do it at home, using my own binocular. Third, the complex provides

high speed internet access. I am so frustrated with my current DSL because it takes hours to

download streaming videos and makes me fall into sleep while waiting. Also DSL provider asks

me to pay bloated price of twenty four dollars for just using slow internet. If the complex readily

offers the high speed internet for free, I will accept even without looking back. Thirdly, the

complex has a courtyard  and accompany outdoor grill with it. My current apartment is attached

with a parking lot on the backyard, so it is such a hassle to set up a BBQ party, being squashed

by cars. And the fourth the complex has its own fitness center. It is so costly to buy all fitness

equipments and very hard to install them inside my apartment due to its pint size. As a result, I

become lazy as a couch potato and all I want to do is nothing other than eating, sleeping, and

watching soap operas. As an alternative, I can go to YMCA center and exercise all I can, but I

have to make a payment in every month just for using facility. And the fifth, the complex itself is

surrounded by shopping centers and restaurant. At least, I can enjoy nightlife all day without

worrying about going outside because of hoodlums wreaking havoc in the neighborhood.

            Overall, Esquire apartment is definitely the one that fulfills my need and I am going to

plan when to move in the complex near future. Once settling at the apartment, I will say good

riddance to singing cockroaches, ant invaders, and cacophony of gun sound, and enjoy another

day in the paradise.
