Personal Statement

Being an immigrant and having grown up in America I was aware, from a young age, of the societal disparities that exists between each and every one of us. Growing up and entering college I learned how interconnected these issues are. The amount of prejudice we receive can stack. In order to address the root cause I realized promoting education in my community was a great start. I volunteered at my community library for 2 summers in my high school career, encouraging minds, young and old, to read, through incentives. At the start of my college life I applied for the sustainability seat on my university’s Student Government. I was drawn to this specific role for its ability to connect with the campus and educate the student body on the importance of environmental ethics and sustainability. Now I work at my university’s civic engagement center to actively engage in the volunteer services both in the background, helping to facilitate, and foreground, actively participating.
