Undergraduate / "Asian Americans and the glass ceiling" - Prompt #1 UC APPL [4]
Good afternoon :)
I have edited the first paragraph of your piece and included some general suggestions also:
"For over 200 years, Asian Americans have been denied equal rights, had their rights revoked, and faced harassment and hostility in a country that is known for its freedom. At his inaugural speech, President Bill Clinton stated that "T he divide of race has been American's constant curse. Each new wave of immigrant gives new target to old prejudices." Hearing this quote for the first time made me realize that I knew nothing about my heritage, about the history of my people and about their experience in the United States. Although my high school did not offer Asian American s tudies, I decided to become more involved in the Asian American community in order to learn about the history that is left untold. As a result, the rich cultural heritage and the neglected history of Asian Americans have sparked my interest to further pursue a major in Asian American studies ."
"...every since..." do you mean "ever" since?
Also, you could expound upon what you gained from your involvement with this group, as that really should be a focal point of your paper. Otherwise, I think it's a great response to the prompt. Good work!
