Personal Statement638 WordsChallenged a belief, Creative personal story, Development of personal values, First in family to college, One moment that changed you, Story central to identityAs I sit, staring into the abyss of the Boston skyline, I feel as though I am living an out-of-body experience. So small in such a big world, I believe that I am undeserving of the cards that life has dealt me.
