Can I get advice on my personal statement for college?

I have always been the odd one out. When my friends were talking about boys, I was talking about college and college life. When the other kids were playing with dolls, I was playing with a calculator. When my best friend was watching movies, I was reading books. I know the teachers and staff at my school better than my peers and classmates because they are more intimidating to me than adults. My teachers called me an “old soul” while my peers called me a “goody two shoes”. I never let these differences bring me down, instead, I believe they just set me apart from everyone else.

These differences have helped me get through challenges in my life. One of the greatest challenges I have ever faced is not having a dad around. Since my dad decided that he did not want to have a child he has never been a major part of my life. It was hard on me when I was younger, I would ask what I did wrong or why he didn’t want me? As I have gotten older I have grown to understand that not everyone is ready for parenthood. My mom stepped up and has been the best parent I could have asked for. She has always pushed me to be the best person I can be and taught me that my differences make me who I am. When I got bullied in middle school, I chose to research about college, I would always tell myself that even if today wasn’t great I have college to look forward to and that I can never give up. Instead of me breaking down whenever there is an issue or challenge in my life I try instead to see how I can fix it or how I can overcome it.

My differences have not only made me who I am but it has increased my desire to go to college. For example, I am the only scholar at my school who is graduating a year early. I decided on this since I would only have one required class, Instead of staying I’d rather expand my knowledge by starting college a year early. I have also given over 100 tours at my school, I normally am the scholar they ask to lead the tours since I have the leadership skills. I was able to have both of these experiences mainly because I am different since I show maturity and have the trust of the teachers and staff members at school. Looking back my differences or being the odd one has actually helped me accomplish the starting steps to my dreams, including my very first dream of going to college and helping shape my future plans.

One of those future goals is to travel, last summer I was sponsored to go to China for two weeks, this gave me such a different outlook on the world. It helped me realize just how much I want to travel and explore the world to see how so many people live immensely differently than we do. Travel is not my only passion, I also deeply love mathematics and science or more specifically medicine. This passion has grown throughout my high school career with classes such as pre-calculus and medical biology. It is my plan to study International Relations accompanied with Bio-Medical Engineering. I have selected both of these majors so that I can not only have an impact on my country but also to have an impact on the world. I can’t wait to find out more about myself in college and to use my differences to make a change in the world.

"At this point I may as well explain that we of the fish patrol were free lances in a way. While Neil Partington, who was a patrolman proper, received a regular salary, Charley and I, being merely deputies, received only what we earned - that is to say, a certain percentage of the fines imposed on convicted violators of the fist laws. Also, any rewards that chanced our way were ours. We offered to share with Partington whatever we should get from Mr. Taft, but the patrolman would not hear of it. He was only too happy, he said, to do a good turn for us, who had done so many for him."

ead the following passage and answer the question that follows.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Part 1

Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable. At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk, but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life. He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years. But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove.
"I incline to, Cain's heresy*," he used to say. "I let my brother go to the devil in his quaintly 'own way.'" In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour.
No doubt the feat was easy to Mr. Utterson; for he was undemonstrative at the best, and even his friendship seemed to be founded in a similar catholicity of good-nature. It is the mark of a modest man to accept his friendly circle ready-made from the hands of opportunity; and that was the lawyer's way. His friends were those of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest; his affections, like ivy, were the growth of time, they implied no aptness in the object. Hence, no doubt, the bond that united him to Mr. Richard Enfield, his distant kinsman, the well-known man about town. It was a nut to crack for many, what these two could see in each other, or what subject they could find in common. It was reported by those who encountered them in their Sunday walks, that they said nothing, looked singularly dull, and would hail with obvious relief the appearance of a friend. For all that, the two men put the greatest store by these excursions, counted them the chief jewel of each week, and not only set aside occasions of pleasure, but even resisted the calls of business, that they might enjoy them uninterrupted.
*The biblical story of Cain and Abel is a story about two brothers who gave offerings to God. Abel’s offering was accepted by God, but Cain’s was not. Jealous, Cain killed his brother. When asked Cain where Abel was, Cain said, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” By saying this, Cain implied that what his brother did was his own business. (Genesis 4:1-16)

Mr. Enfield is called "the well-known man about town." What can we infer about his character, in contrast to that of Mr. Utterson?
He is less wealthy than Mr. Utterson
He is less important than Mr. Utterson
He is not as socially awkward as Mr. Utterson
He is not related to Mr. Utterson
