Admissions Essay To Fly Alone   Dr. Johnson ... Dr. Johnson.... As I wearily walked down the artificially lit corridor, I realized it was my fathers doc being paged. I turned and ran towards the intensive care unit I had left a few minutes ago. The sterilized odor of the infirmary overwhelmed me as I raced through a maze of white walls to stop his death.   After bolting through heavy metal doors, I saw doctors and nurses hasten frantically around the room. I could only hear one sound. It fill the air and was audible above all the commotion and the heavy hammering of my heart. The monotonous beep of the monitor meant Daddy was gone forever.   While posing next to his cold body, I focused at the crimson drops, which dye the yellow linoleum floor and slowly remembered what a terrible ordeal the past six weeks of hospitalization had been. My Life had changed forever since the solar day I sped through traffic with my Dad shivering in the back target next to my worried mother. I was scared to death without even subtle that the killer was Leukemia.   Although the chemotherapy proceeded well, it gradually wore my father away. The first side effects were a loss of appetite accompanied by nausea and vomiting. His hair evil out next, and I could tell my Fathers courage was beginning to waver. A look of pain and anguish had replaced his usual smile and with each passing day he looked more like my grandfather. It all seemed like a unstable dream.   While packing up hours after he had passed away, I put in a note directed towards me. It was in Fathers handwriting blurry scribbles because the euphony made his hands shake. I sat down and cried because it said in Spanish, My son, it is time for you to fly alone.   It is hard to understand Dads absence, and that he left on my 17th birthday. Although I miss him everyday I am agreeable for all the time we spent together and everything my father taught me. He pointed me in the right direction and made me believe in myself. There is tidy in this beautiful world, and life will always receive my outflank effort. I will never be embarrassed by my inheritance and will succeed. I know he is proud of me.
