Undergraduate / 'the best learning environment to grow' - NYU supplement [6]
anyone?
i did some corrections again.
I am looking for the best learning environment in which to grow. I want to find a place where I can challenge myself both in my academics and extracurriculars. Having spent a year at SUNY Purchase, I now want to experience a completely new culture, a beau monde filled with heterogeneous student bodies and erudite scholars.
Studying at Purchase was an exhilarating experience in multitude aspects and one of the greatest advantages I gained was the rapport between students and professors. My mathematics professor Marty Lewinter once said to me "Being good is not good enough, you must excel" The word 'good' present reeks of mediocrity and I learned the only way to gain respect is to be preeminent in my academics. Professor Lewinter not only knew he has the obligation to edify our mathematical knowledge, but he equally stressed the importance of inculcating his students meticulously through his moral codes in the hopes of the student will succeed in life. Purchase not only made me more assertive and amenable, but also made me understand that I would have to take everything in my own hands.
Whenever I eat sushi, I have a peculiar propensity to eat the best piece of the sushi till last. There was this one time when I was given a plate of twenty-five piece of sushi and I devoured them according to their superiority. As I reached to the apex of excitement, my stomach was so stuffed that I lost all my voracity. The lesson on Carpe Diem taught us that one should "Pluck the day, trusting as little as possible in the future." Since then, I look at everything with an open mind and conscious to explore different institutions that will cultivate my professional endeavors.
While I've always had an aspiration to be attached with the financial world, I was an oxymoron by entering college as a biology major, I soon became aware that I made the wrong decision and I immediately switched my major to economics after the first semester of freshman year. Purchase is well renowned for its fine art, music and dance conservatories, which ultimately connotes that less emphasis is placed on the economics department. A college with strong economics department and program is imperative to the success of my academic goals, not solely because I regard a stronger program means a higher sophisticated faculty but also believe that prestigious schools offers higher-end internship opportunities due to their relationship with large firms, something I can never obtain at Purchase.
Doing anything involves risk, which includes getting into any schools that I applied to. However, I am a person that embraces challenges and perseveringly overcome challenges merely because there are risks one has to take in order to grow.
