UC Personal Statement I can't find the final-final version I eventually submitted, but it's close to this one.
"Goodbye Golden Years" This is a link to an article I wrote for Digital High about moving on to college. I hate the title, but I couldn't think of anything good by the deadline, so it stuck. The original file has been taken down, so this is a pseudo-mirror.
"These Foolish Games" -- Written in my bitter period of high school, this is a very unflattering profile of my high school, but looking back, a rather poor reflection of my state of mind at the time. Heh. Another Digital High article.
