University of Notre Dame
Prompt 1: What question fascinates you? Tell us why. 200 words
Word count below: 200/200
Who am I and why am I here?
The obvious answer is that I'm Nikita Morrison. But that doesn't answer the question of who I am as a person. It won't be answered for quite some time. As I can't conclude who I am until I've experienced the most of everything. I believe that we are put on earth for a reason, whether it's to find ourselves or to help others find themselves. The people, events, and experiences have molded me into who I am today. I remember when I was at Walmart, and I wasn't able to pay my remaining balance on my groceries. Fortunately, a kind lady helped me out by paying my balance. She said "No problem. Just make sure that one day you return the favor to someone else in need." Situations like that make me grateful and optimistic about the future. There are times where I my ideas become reality, I make someone's day, or that I provide something to someone. I think to myself, that I'm going to be spectacular in the future. Because I know that I was put on this earth to help others, the rest is up to me to discover.
Prompt 2: What's broken, and how would you fix it? (200 words)
Below word count: 200/200
Poverty is a major issue I believe is corrupt because it's not just in one country, it's all over the world. Now I know poverty is something that can never end, I learned that while taking a college class. My professor once told me that if I were to give everyone 50k, the dollar wouldn't be valued the same. Basically, no matter what you do there will always be a low, middle, and high class. Since then, I know that if I can't fix poverty itself I would like to encourage kids to pursue something beyond their reach. In the future I plan on creating various charities to encourage kids for a better life especially in areas where crime rates are the highest. I want them to know that joining gangs, selling drugs, and committing crimes isn't going to get them anywhere in life. There are too many people losing their lives to help others, it's unnecessary. Along with charities, I plan on creating scholarships and grants given to those by a case-by-case basis. I know that I might not be able to change the world, but I can the change the mind of someone who will change the world.
Prompt 3: What excites you about attending Notre Dame? (200 words max)
Word count below: 199/200
I am filled with so much zest because I'm applying to University of Notre Dame. It all started when my counselor suggested me a business school in Pennsylvania. As I told her previously, how I would like to attend a college out of state. I instantly fell in love with the scenery, the reputation, and the school itself. I plan on pursuing a major in accountancy, and/or minoring in entrepreneurship.
Being a Buddhist I know that UND students remain open minded and respectful to those non-Catholic. Despite the school having a religious element, I still fancy what UND has to offer as a whole. From its amazing alumni network to its rewarding college experience. What appealed to me the most, was that the university is ranked in the top 5 undergraduate business schools in America. I know that UND will assist me in becoming the best business woman, so there's no worry. I personally have always been intrigued by philosophy and theology. To have a school that pushes it for all students to take, is a marvelous idea. It's a brilliant method to get those exposed to different aspects of life. I look forward to becoming a fighting Irish.
