Undergraduate / I founded my first own company at age 15; my main inspiration was the gray city I live in [2]

We imagine you have spent a great deal of time researching different colleges and universities. How did you identify GW as a strong fit with your interests, talents, and goals? (250w limit)

I founded my first own company at age 15; my main inspiration was the grey city I live in. Simply wanting to lighten it up a little, I started selling self-designed neon bracelets - the venture didn't only turn into a respectable local establishment with an own fashion collection and big events - more importantly for myself, I was able to find my passion and since then it has determined how I think about my future.

GW offers individuals with a creative business-oriented talent like me the best options imaginable. It will support me with a network that can only be found at an institution with a cosmopolitan outlook, not flatlined but forthcoming in regards of realization of ideas. What the location in the heart of D.C. sets forth, GW greatly extends forward through the Office of Entrepreneurship. Also, the options given by cooperating programs like the Dolphin Tank or Pitch George leave me sitting on the edge of my chair; it's the kind of commitment to the future of students I've been searching for.

I will be highly inspired to contribute to the startup spirit at GW with both the beliefs of my own heritage as well as newfound experiences - only the clashing of beliefs will set forth new ideas. While other universities may as well have a diverse and acutely engaged student body offering this potential, GW promises to let its students live up to the potential they have - supporting them from day one; from the very idea to the Fortune 500.

What do you think of my approach? Are there any spelling and grammar issues left? I'm not a native!!
Also, I have to cut down on 3 words? Which would you choose?

Thank you in advance :))

Undergraduate / "Do something today that your future self will appreciate" - My Captivation [4]

NYU is global, urban, inspired, smart, connected, and bold. What can NYU offer you, and what can you offer NYU? (200-400 words)

NOTE: I'm an international student from Germany. Please let me know about spelling mistakes!!!!

"Do something today that your future self will thank you for" - I grew up in a rather affluent community and lots of teenagers didn't see a need to work for their future. In contrast, I always saw productivity as the best way to spend a day:

My dad once told me: "Son, don't waste your time on computer games; there's only one important game you're playing: Life!"

I founded my first own company at age 15; my main inspiration was the grey city I live in. Simply wanting to lighten it up a little, I started selling self-designed neon bracelets - the venture didn't only turn into a respectable local establishment with an own fashion collection and big events. More importantly for myself, I was able to find my definition of life and since then it has determined how I think about my future.

Stern offers individuals with a creative business-oriented outlet like me the best options imaginable. When I found out about the school, I was amazed by how deeply entrepreneurship and NYU are bonded. What the location in the heart of New York sets forth, NYU greatly extends forward through different projects and events like the Entrepreneurs Festival. Also, the options given by cooperating programs like the $200K challenge at the Berkeley Center leave me sitting on the edge of my chair; it's the kind of commitment to the future of students I've been searching for.

While the students brains are the engines of new startups, NYU offers the tools needed to keep these engines running from day one - all of this just besides the brightening academics.

With the intellectual diversity at the school, an incredible amount of clashing beliefs and ideas are the potential for the future. I will be highly inspired to contribute to the Entrepreneurial Institute with both the beliefs of my own heritage as well as newfound experiences.

My strong aim to contribute to student-organized startups throughout my education will be of great value for the motivation of other students. I am so driven by my ideas that I am confident to contribute to the community in a similar way I already do in my hometown. Whether new ideas will be coming from me or from my new peers; whether it will contain the design of neon bracelets or the breakthrough medicine to heal AIDS; with the help of extensive options offered and the support of a like-minded student body, NYU will help me to continue my passion throughout university. It will support me with a network that can only be found at an institution with a cosmopolitan outlook, not flatlined but immensely forthcoming in regards of realization of ideas.
