Undergraduate / No one had taught me how to reach out to others when in need of help - MSU Application Essay [8]
Thank you for helping me. English is not my first language and so I am not very good at writing it. I made some changes and tried to take your advice but it is kind of difficult to fit everything in 400 words. I made some changes but it is 224 words at the moment so I will need to delete some things but I don't know what to delete.
Throughout my years, no one had taught me how to reach out to others when in need of help. This is something I taught myself the hard way. With the lack of support from my family due to my brother's illness, I learned quickly that if I wanted to succeed, I would have to challenge myself to the fullest extent and reach out to others for help. Living home alone and at a friend's house from time to time, connecting with others was not an easy feeling but I quickly saw the benefits it came with. Learning skills from others is what helped me succeed so far in life. As a Spartan at Michigan State, I seek to reach new levels through the campus involvement as well as my home community. This is something that I have set my eyes on as it will not only help me prosper, but also those around me.
Through living in dorms I hope to meet new people of not only different backgrounds and ethnicity, but of also people with different opinions. Meeting and learning different values and skills from these people by socializing with them will be a big factor in my success. I believe that in an educational environment, transactions must be made both ways. For instance, in return for acquiring knowledge I will do my very best to give back to the community by getting involved as much as possible. Being part of the 3.5 billion soccer fans, I know the cultural impact the sport has. Implementing events such as soccer games called Mini World Cups where people represent their country is a great way to build bridges between different cultures and once there is a connection, it is much easier to reach out to someone when in need of help. This is something I look forward in doing. Whenever I used to ask someone for help, I would always feel uneasy but with my open personality, I want to entice new students to feel welcome and free to approach me for help and others as well.
Residing at a close proximity from MSU, I am constantly exposed to the universities diverse community. Just by eating at one of the dining halls, I was surrounded by people from all over the world. Although MSU is full of diverse interactions, some people are hesitant to interact with others because of their difference in culture, language, or experience. I look forward to using my experience to help these students adjust to the dynamic community the university offers.
