My College Essay - Surviving Rape

My College Essay - Surviving RapeMy college essay dealt with my rape in ways I never could have imagined. The effects of that rape went beyond the physical part of my body that was affected. I also thought about the emotional and mental effects on my life as a whole.As I was writing my college essay, I never would have thought that the important facts of my life would make my voice loud and clear in my head. It's interesting how people deal with their lives. This was a good example to me, as I looked at how my emotions reacted to the traumatic experience of my rape.From my victim's perspective, it doesn't take much to ruin the well-being of your body. It just takes a small amount of pain to damage all the parts of your body. Whether it's physical pain or the feeling of embarrassment because you were violated, it all has the same effect on your body. The only difference is that if you survived the rape, you are no longer living in the physical world, you are living in a world where th e walls between life and death have been breached.Physical pain is a part of life. It is going to bring out the best and the worst in you, but most of the time, your body will find a way to deal with it. On the other hand, the effect of the emotional pain is something that will stay with you for the rest of your life.If you think that only women are affected by the emotional pain of rape, then you are wrong. This problem is only limited to women. Even men can be affected by this. Not only are men still affected by this trauma, but they also experience anxiety attacks when it comes to their bodies.There are men who say that the reason why they still carry the physical trauma of their rape is because they did not know what to expect when they were attacked. They thought that it would be a normal situation and that nothing bad would happen to them. It's unfortunate that some men still carry the physical scars of their rape.To those men, it's already sad but still unfortunate that such feelings are associated with a physical fact. It's not nice to have to look at yourself in the mirror and realize that you are still scarred by the physical aspect of your life. In the end, it's all the same.I'm sure that if you're still writing your college essay on the topic of your life after a tragic event like the one that happened to you, you have something to look forward to in the future. You are already a survivor of your own life.
