Undergraduate / "secretary Luisa" - Short Answer [6]
Should I take out the Luisa part; is it too much? Give me all the feedback you have!
In the space provided below, please elaborate on one of your activities (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience)(150 words or fewer).
The Double Discovery Center is an academic enrichment, TRIO program located at Columbia University that offers additional resources to low-income, first-generation college-bound students in New York City. Since I began high school, DDC has provided me with access to college-level classes and paid internships in other programs. The main agenda DDC pushes besides academics is open-mindedness to different cultures; hence, my full paid trip to Germany. In Germany, I had the opportunity with fellow students to witness famous historical sites, which I have only known about through European history textbooks. That same summer, I took a Neuroscience and Behavior class, which sparked my interest in becoming a psychiatrist. At DDC, I have met many distinctive people, including inspirational mentors, whom have guided me through both educational and personal hardships. The office of the Double Discovery Center is a welcoming place crowded with familiar students, which is why I consider it a second home.
