A quick definition of act of possession:

Act of possession: When someone physically controls something with the intention of owning it, it is called an act of possession. This can be something that can be moved or something that is fixed in place. It can also refer to behavior that shows someone wants to claim something as their own, especially if they are trying to take it from someone else. This type of behavior can be used to support a claim of adverse possession, which means someone has taken control of property that belongs to someone else.

A more thorough explanation:

An act of possession is when someone physically controls a tangible object, either movable or immovable, with the intention of claiming ownership. It can also refer to behavior that shows an intent to claim property as one's own, especially in cases of adverse possession.

For example, if someone moves into an abandoned house, starts paying property taxes, and makes improvements to the property, they are demonstrating an act of possession. This behavior supports their claim of adverse possession, which means they may eventually be able to legally claim ownership of the property.

Another example of an act of possession is when someone picks up a lost item on the street and takes it home with them. By physically controlling the item and intending to keep it, they are demonstrating an act of possession.

Overall, an act of possession involves physically controlling an object and intending to claim ownership, either through legal means or by demonstrating adverse possession.

my mom is so involved in my application proccess she wanted to cater my personal statement to what she believed would make most impact on adcom.
she is helping pay for it but even if so, they shouldnt be too involved
shes a war veteran so she wanted me to spend significant portion of my ps talking about how much her journey affected and inspired me so i ignored her to the fullest by simply saying "ps is about me not you"
speaking of test prep, any 7sage alternatives that include explanations without "youre dumb if u dont get this"
