Undergraduate / For the past 17 years of painful transitions I have gained great understanding of different cultures [3]

For the past 17 years of my life I have lived in three different countries with completely different cultures (**, **, ***). Despite the painful transitions and bitter goodbyes, I have a gained an excellent understanding of different cultures. For example, most of my friends abroad did not believe that Egypt had cars and roads like normal countries, but instead that we went to school by camels and deserts covered the country. Moreover, I had always pictured London as a group of 17th century houses and ancient cultures, until I had the opportunity to live there for three years which gave a clear understanding of the culture their and cleared the misconception that was in my mind. Therefore I think that I will be a valuable addition to an already existing wide range of cultures and backgrounds available in UD.

More than once, I was perceived as a very helpful individual and that I found pleasure in offering assistance. I was not made aware of this quality until I participated in charity events and fund raisers where our hard work was only rewarded by the personal satisfaction of helping others.I will be more than willing to offer my services to the University of Dallas, to help improve the college experience for my (hopefully) fellow peers and myself.

please tell me what you think and correct any wrong grammar
Thanks in advance

Undergraduate / Leaving everyone I know in my small circle of friends and family (in Egypt) [4]

Would you mind taking a look at my other essay that answers "Why do you want to attend university of Dallas" , please keep in mind that those are not the main college essays , those are answers to questions where I am limited to 250 words

Thank you

The idea of leaving everyone I know in my small circle of friends and family(in Egypt), that I have lived in for the past couple of years, and moving to another country, 7065.1 miles away where I have no acquaintances in is terrifying, to say the least. Feeling a bit of homesickness is the least of my fears, but what if I develop an illness or was wrongfully arrested ? I have heard feedback about the University of Dallas from numerous different people including teachers, counselors and even graduates but they all had one thing in common, everyone started by describing how welcomed the students feel and the tremendous effort the staff and students devote to making the environment feel like home.

Not only does the University of Dallas offer an excellent Computer Science program, but also one of the very few colleges that provides an outstanding MS degree in Cyber Security, which everyone agrees, is highly respected among employers .My interest in Cyber Security has grown significantly over time, not only because of the cool hackers shown in movies, but also because of the fact that our world is rapidly transforming into a digital one and I would be honored to have the ability to contribute to protecting it.
