Undergraduate / MIT Cultural Background Essay || INDIA || SIKH [5]
As an Indian, I am always proud of its Rich and Diversified Culture.Ours Our culture is an amalgamation of several cultures, people and religions. My grandparents moved to India duringtheIndo-Pak division in 1947 andhaveworked very hard to earn their livings. I belong to a middle class Sikh family in Rajasthan state and like most of the males in my family, I am also a Turbanator. We enjoy celebrating Diwali- festival of Lights, Holi- festival of Colors, Baisakhi, Lohri, and Guruparb - Sikh festivals, Eid-ul-Fitar, Christmas , Indian Independence Day and Republic Day.
Do not write "I am also a Turbanator." Use "I also wear a turban." You don't have to change it, but it took me a while to guess what you meant by Turbanator.
I think you have around 96 words.

Undergraduate / I was never interested in college because I had no aim in life. Common App Transfer Essay [5]
Please provide a statement (250 words minimum) that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to achieve
I was never interested in college because I had no aim in life. Until, senior year in high school, I took a computer science class and I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I originally wanted to go University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Instead, I went to a community college for the past two years since money was tight. I was a little upset, but I still had hope. I believe I would turn this situation in to my advantage. At Durham technical community college, I have many good friends. I have learned from great professors. It is a great place to learn, but I think it is time to move on
I want to transfer to UNC because I will be given a chance to explore new and different things. I want the opportunity to enhance my knowledge and help me become more independent. By transferring, I will be one step closer to a stable future. A degree from a college or university will help me in the future.By going to a college where I did not belong, my passion for my major has increased.
I hope that by transferring I will be able explore my passion among people who have similar interests. In UNC, I will be able to grow as a person and dedicate to computer science. A degree from a college or a university in my family is a rare thing. I want to make my family proud, especially my parents.
