友谊与成长
Holton is my best friend. He may be a bit worn down, but he is an old soul with a story to tell. With him, I have enjoyed Russian folklore, romantic escapades, and renowned classics. With him, I have succeeded and failed. At times, we have had arguments, but when I look back on our time together, it’s the magical moments that resound. When I moved schools, I lost contact with many of my old friends, but I never lost Holton.
霍尔顿是我最好的朋友。虽然他有些破旧，但他是一颗老灵魂，拥有一段值得讲述的故事。有了他，我品味了俄罗斯民间传说，经历了浪漫的冒险，也欣赏了许多经典之作。和他一起，我既有成功也有失败。有时我们也会争吵，但当我回首我们共同度过的时光，最打动我的始终是那些魔幻的瞬间。当我换学校时，我失去了很多老朋友的联系，但霍尔顿一直在我身边。
At first, I was a bit hesitant about our relationship, but my teacher advised me that Holton and I would grow into great friends if we just gave each other a chance. How could I say no? Since then, I have never looked back. We have taken trips to New York City every weekend, with each passing day bringing a new adventure. Eventually, people began to express worry that all the time we spent together would hinder my academics and hold me back from other pursuits; I didn’t care. Nothing could break our bond.
一开始，我对我们的关系有些犹豫，但老师告诉我，只要我们给彼此一个机会，霍尔顿和我会成为非常好的朋友。我怎么能拒绝呢？从那时起，我再也没有回头过。我们每个周末都会去纽约，每一天都带来新的冒险。渐渐地，人们开始担心我们在一起的时间会影响我的学业，让我无法追求其他的事情；但我不在乎。没有什么能打破我们之间的纽带。
自我怀疑与坚持
Sometimes I reminisce about the day I first met Holton. The old adage goes, gold is first and silver is second. With Holton, this notion was turned upside down. When I walked into the shop, it was all gold. It was as if King Midas had touched everything in the store. However, something out of the corner of my eye caught my attention. Was that a silver among the golds? He is not your standard image of perfection without that golden shine. However, I knew not to judge anything at face value but rather by the story that it tells; it was this silver horn that possessed the hauntingly golden sound.
有时我会回忆起第一次遇见霍尔顿的那一天。俗话说，金子是第一，银子是第二。但在霍尔顿身上，这个观念被颠倒了。当我走进那家店时，眼前一片金光，仿佛一切都被米达斯王的手触摸过。然而，在我的余光中，一件银色的物品吸引了我的注意。那是银色的，不像金色的那样完美无瑕。可是，我知道不能仅凭外表去评判任何东西，而是要看它所讲述的故事；正是这只银号，拥有着那种令人着迷的金色般的音色。
热情与牺牲
Holton is my french horn. Not a shiny new one, but one that has travelled far and experienced much. He has been with me under the bright lights of Lincoln Center and Peter Jay Sharp Theater, and has always given my right arm a good workout as I carry him from class to class, rehearsal to rehearsal, performance to performance.
霍尔顿是我的法式圆号。它不是崭新的，而是已经走过了许多路，经历了很多。他陪伴我在林肯中心和彼得·杰伊·夏普剧院的聚光灯下，时刻锻炼着我的右臂，我把它从一节课搬到另一节课，从一次排练搬到下一次排练，从一场演出搬到另一场演出。
Through Holton, I have experienced failure. My failed New Jersey Youth Symphony audition as a sixth grader fueled my motivation to practice harder. I still remember my dried lips, cracked notes, and missed entrances. Such failures invariably led to success. Acceptance into the Juilliard Pre-College program will always be one of my happiest memories. However, no success comes without sacrifice. In my early childhood, I participated in every activity that I liked. Basketball, choir, piano...if I enjoyed it, I did it. Mandatory all-day attendance every Saturday at Juilliard with my friend Holton in company, meant I had to give up some other things that I loved. I could no longer be a part of the New Jersey Youth Chorus, the beloved choir in which I had sung for seven years. I would not be able to try out for freshman basketball, one of my high school goals. I would not be able to participate on the debate team in earnest, something that I fell in love in my freshman year. But Holton has been worth these sacrifices and more.
通过霍尔顿，我经历了失败。作为六年级学生，我在新泽西青少年交响乐团的试镜失败，激励我更加努力练习。我仍然记得那些干裂的嘴唇、破碎的音符和错失的进场。这样的失败不可避免地带来了成功。进入茱莉亚预科项目将永远是我最快乐的回忆之一。然而，任何成功背后都有牺牲。小时候，我参与了所有我喜欢的活动。篮球、合唱团、钢琴……只要我喜欢，我就做。每个星期六，和霍尔顿一起强制性全天出席茱莉亚的课程，意味着我不得不放弃一些我热爱的事情。我再也不能参加新泽西青年合唱团，那是我唱了七年的心爱的合唱团。我也无法参加新生篮球队的选拔，那是我高中的目标之一。我不能全身心地投入辩论队，这是我在大一时爱上的一项活动。但霍尔顿值得这些牺牲，甚至更多。
展望与新开始
Addressing my greatest vulnerability has The journey I am experiencing with him more than makes up for anything else I had to give up, and I cannot wait to continue our journey in my college years.
我和霍尔顿一起的旅程，远远弥补了我所放弃的一切，我迫不及待地想继续我们的旅程，直到我的大学时光。
Soon, my high school experience will be over, and as I bid adieu to the friendly walls of [School], I will hit the road to wherever this application process takes me. Among all the suitcases in the trunk will be a black, worn-down horn case; inside will be Holton, ready for more adventures. Many college-bound seniors wish for good roommates. I know that in Holton I will have, at the very least, one great one. He will always hold a special place in my life and in my heart as my first prize silver.
很快，我的高中生涯将结束，当我告别[学校]那友好的墙壁时，我将踏上通往任何这个申请过程带我去的地方的道路。在行李箱中，放着一个黑色、破旧的圆号箱；里面是霍尔顿，准备迎接更多的冒险。许多即将上大学的高年级学生都希望能有一个好室友。我知道，至少在霍尔顿身上，我会有一个非常棒的室友。他将永远在我的生活和心中占据一个特殊的位置，作为我的第一份奖银。
me to think about the example my dad set for me, despite being unable to play the role in my life he deserved. His legacy helped me form my greatest aspirations.Embodied in my story is the story of someone I barely remember, yet has inspired me more than anyone, someone who hasgiven me so many traitsthat have made me the person I am today.
解决我最大的弱点迫使我思考父亲为我树立的榜样，尽管他无法在我的生活中发挥应有的作用。他的遗产帮助我形成了最大的愿望。在我的故事中，体现了一个我几乎不记得的人的故事，但他给了我比任何人都多的启发，他给了我许多特质，使我成为今天的我。
