Far from being an introvert, I intend to join the University’s College Council and serve as a vocal advocate for students on campus. Given my background as a community leader through my seven years of service to the Henrico County Public Library system and my personal experiences attending a low-income school (where 55% of the student body is on free or reduced-price lunch), I am especially interested in giving a voice to underrepresented students both on campus through student government and off campus through the University Community Service Center. Similarly, I intend to contribute to the Chicago Debate Society, through which I hope not only to share the slightly unorthodox debating strategies we’ve developed in the Henrico High School debate team but also to propagate a culture of inclusion in debate which I’ve personally sought to foster over my three-year tenure as

Similarly, the goal of educated change unites Penn’s students. When I visited the Penn campus and strolled down Locust Walk, communities and clubs emersed me.

Initially, I was enamored by my like-minded classmates. I soon realized, however, that while many of them share my political views, they do not share the experience of growing up in an economically diverse community. Exploration of numerous disciplines imparted upon me the realization that what I had been searching for all along was not a different major, but an even more foundational challenge. The cultural consensus is too thick here, at Bard. Paradoxically, many students are alarmists who lack urgency.

I learned from the best in high school, including one very dynamic tenth-grade English teacher, who helped prepare me for work in honors, AP, and then an English major at Clark University years later.

545 Words | 3 Pages
Overall, the nature at Penn will allow me to grow as a learner not only in my discipline but in others. Penn’s collaborative environment will allow me this.

I will likely pick up a minor or two somewhere along the way on my journey at UNH due to my wide variety of interests that has made it difficult to declare a major in the first place. The 2016 election was the catalyst for my passion in critical social justice due to the hurtful nature of the campaigns of several of the candidates running for president. During the end of the election I was in an AP Government and Politics class that examined the intentions and outcomes of every move each politician and political party made daily. This forced me to stay informed about the current problems of our nation and stay involved in the

That helplessness turned into a strong motivation to make a difference in the medical community, and help people like my brother.
