'multifaceted culture' - Rutgers Undergraduate Admission; a vibrant community [7]
"The pulsating diversity of Rutgers University illustrates the quintessence of society; the vast ethnicities and cultures not only diversify the educational experience of this
u niversity as the interactions of individuals lead to understanding and compassion
, but what? You begin this statement with "not only," leading your reader to expect a continuation of this thought. This is almost a consequential statement: the university provides this, and thus is the result. As is it, it is a dangling, unfinished thought. . My contribution to the vibrancy of Rutgers
will consist(Because it hasn't happened yet.) of my heritage and devotion to my motherland. Throughout high school, I finally understood and embraced my Indian background; my greatest qualm, however, came with my advent
to(Because you did not create Hinduism; instead, you came to it. Hinduism. The preaching of its morals intrigued me for quite some time. To fully embrace its values and demystify its vast intricacies, I joined the Peacock Society in my freshman year in high school
. In this environment, discussions of religious texts
were encouraged and celebrations
of festivals commenced. As I finally connected with the inner soul of my culture, I decided to give back through volunteering at the Vraj temple in Pennsylvania as well as volunteering in its Vraj Youth Camp. Throughout the experience, I tried to instill in the young children various aspects and virtues of the Hindu religion that I learned while being a camper for 7 years. My understanding and familiarity with Indian culture, religion, ethics
, and arts could greatly add to the multiethnic environment of Rutgers University. With the discipline and knowledge ascertained over years of soul-searching and blunt realizations, my knowledge could greatly supplement the culture found at Rutgers University.
How, specifically?This multifaceted culture
I refer to can benefit me to a great extent; my passion for other cultures, languages and ethnic cuisines can be quelled through the environment at Rutgers. Not only do I wish to immerse myself with various religions and cultures, I want to learn about additional religions and study other languages to expand my knowledge. I wish to enter and leave as a responsible member of society with a liberal education in cultures and ethnicities including my own."
A nice start.
