Each year, we ask students to send us college application essays that have something to do with money. “I always assumed my father wished I had been born a boy,” wrote Alison Hess, who’s from Bushnell, Illinois. “Now, please don’t assume that my father is some rampant rural sexist. The fact is, when you live in an area and have a career where success is largely determined by your ability to provide and maintain nearly insurmountable feats of physical labor, you typically prefer a person with a bigger frame.” She continues: “I never strove to roll smoother pie crusts or iron exquisitely stiff collars. Instead, I idolized my father’s patient hands. On a cow’s neck, trying to find the right vein to stick a needle in. In the strength of the grip it took to hold down an injured heifer. In the finesse with which they habitually spun the steering wheel as he backed up to the livestock trailer.” Alison grew to do these things herself. But in her freshman year, at boarding school, she was surrounded by “the better-off and the better-educated — the vast majority of whom had heard the word ‘feminism’ before.” The more she read about the word, and used it, the more she realized that she’d already known the definition. “I had lived it. My cow had taught it to me.” @whittensabbatini took this portrait of Alison at @uchicago. Watch our #InstagramStory to read her full essay — and 4 more that stood out.
