Scholarship / IvySelect Scholarship Personal Statement [8]
Short Answer Question: In 250 words, tell us your goals for college and beyond. How do you hope to contribute to society?
Upon graduating from CCHS (only abbreviated as to not reveal too much on the internet) this upcoming spring, I plan to attend New York University, if admitted, majoring in Marketing and a currently undecided co-major. In addition to my major academic pursuits, I intend to develop and broaden my various skills by participating in clubs including, but not limited to the school newspaper, a theatre troupe, a community service organization, the math club, and the dance club. I also desire to study abroad at least twice during my college career in order to enrich my understanding of foreign cultures as well as to condition my skills to work on an international level. For community service, in addition to giving back to the local area around my college, I am interested in going on a service trip to help families in less fortunate areas of the world, such as Africa and parts of China, survive their economic hardships. After earning a bachelors degree, I would like to continue my education and attend graduate school for a master's degree.
I hope to contribute to society one day by using my education in Marketing to help promote environmentally friendly products in the consumer market. I would like to figure out way to make these products seem more appealing to consumers and hopefully increase their sales so much as to have them replace more harmful products. Although we have made significant progress in recent years, I think there is still much more to do to heal the Earth from human-caused climate change.
