Supplemental Essay: “Why us” school essay653 WordsFrom the very first time I leafed through the world-flag sticker album my mother bought for me as a toddler, I have known the kind of path I want my life to take: exploring every part of our mesmerizing planet, interacting with all kinds of people, and nurturing myself with experiences that will open my mind and help me become a better person. Yet, it does not stop there: the more I travel inside and outside my country, the more...Supplemental Essay: “Why us” school essay247 WordsI am one of the most determined people I know. Since I was a toddler, I have known exactly what I want to study and the kind of path I want my life to take. This is why the University of Rochester attracts me so much; I want to get the best academic preparation and start focusing on my intended domain of specialization from the very beginning. Although, I am also excited to fully exploit my abilities and discover new...Supplemental Essay: Other149 WordsOn Sundays, I work as a salesperson and (unofficially) a translator at a small stand inside the gift shop of the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. I found this job thanks to a friend I met in high school, whose aunt is now my boss. Through this experience, I have been able to recover a very important part of my roots, learning more about Mexican anthropology and history than I could ever learn at school. Also, by having...Supplemental Essay: “Why us” school essay408 WordsFrom the very first time I leafed through the world-flag sticker album my mother bought for me as a toddler, I have known the kind of path that I want my life to take: exploring every part of our mesmerizing planet, interacting with all kinds of people, and nurturing myself with new experiences that will open my mind and help me become a better person.

Personal Statement653 WordsChinese heritage, Embracing your heritage, Family background, International background, Issue of personal significance, Place you’re content, Story central to identity, Study/travel abroadSome days ago as I was using Facebook, I came across a phrase that momentarily struck me: “Did you know it is impossible to see your face in person?
