Undergraduate / Georgia tech supplemental essay - Why GATEch? and "be comfortable being uncomfortable" questions [6]
Beyond rankings, location, and athletics, why are you interested in attending Georgia Tech? (max 150 words)
Playing and studying hard are my main life motto. As I search more about Georgia Tech, I learned I can follow my motto. I saw Georgia tech have not only clubs for fun such as Seoulstice(Kpop dance club) and GTLOL(Video Game club), but also the clubs to improve student's skills such as VGdev(Video Game Devlopment club). Also, GATech gives opportunities for future paths: BS/MS Computer Science five year program, Co-op program, and internships during vacation. When I saw Global Internship Program, I was undoubtedly surprised about working abroad. I am currently agonizing about my career. I am interested in cyber security, game development, and software development. Therefore, I want to decide which field I want to go as I take Computer Science and Computing Information Internetworks classes and joining VGdev.
We challenge our students to "be comfortable being uncomfortable". Tell us about a time in high school that you felt outside of your comfort zone and the resolution. (150 words)
3. After coming to the U.S., I hated lunchtime in high school. I could not understand what or who my friends are talking about due to lack of English skills. I only laughed during their conversation. Most of time, I got an upset stomach after eating lunch so I only ate tiny amount. In Sophomore year, I made an excuse for not going lunch. People thought I am the hard-work student who sacrifice the lunch to study or don't like to be friend with them. I felt too uncomfortable about new community. However, when I became Junior, I realized I was overly frightened. I tried to memorize people's names and faces in my grade to join the conversation. I tried to be more active in clubs and classes. Now, I know most of people in my grade and got best friend. However, there is still awkwardness in lunch. However, by striving to understand the conversation, I reduced it.
