If someone suggested at the beginning of summer I would complete a half-marathon, I would have laughed out loud. Three months and 106 miles later, however, I ran my first half-marathon and pushed the boundaries of what I thought possible. Running granted me respite from the chaotic nature of junior year, and allowed me to reflect on the journey my life has taken so far. I have lived in five cities, four...Read more...Supplemental Essay: Extracurricular activity326 WordsThe international student community at my school is extremely important to me. Since the age of eight, my family and I have moved from country to country, passports and visas in hand. With every move, I adopted parts of my host country's culture and strived to assimilate yet remained connected to my cultural roots. In 9th grade, I went to boarding school 10 000 miles away from home and immediately found a home within the international community. In order to support the...Read more...Supplemental Essay: Intellectual interest678 WordsI am extremely concerned by the erosion of democracy occurring in Hong Kong.

Through her efforts in promoting women’s rights, Madeleine Albright paved the way for future women pursuing a career in the government, and influenced foreign governments to employ more female diplomats. I was so inspired by Madeleine Albright’s TED Talk that I...Read more...Supplemental Essay: Unique question posed by school291 WordsDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, by Phillip K. Dick, caused me to reflect upon the impact and repercussions of technology. Growing up in an age of technological innovation, I have, for as long as I can remember, been surrounded by cell phones, computers, and machines designed to make my life easier. I am continuously connected to my peers via text message and social media, which has both facilitated conversations with some friends and replaced face-to-face interactions with others.
