Hello everyone, I'm writing this essay to apply global UGRAD program. I would appreciate your advice and comments. Thank you!
//P.S. English isn't my mother tongue.//
Essay Choice C: Martin Luther King Jr. said "Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." Describe an instance where you gave back to your community. How will the Global UGRAD program help you continue to serve your community?
"A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus." said Martin Luther King Jr. This idea of leadership from King basically describes his whole life's work as a civil rights activist. Apart from his incredible aptitude, his will and devotion are significant part of his successful work. Many people worldwide, as well as I, are inspired by King' speech that anyone can serve humanity or even change the world.
Once I received an opportunity to become a volunteer English teacher in a remote school, located in Kalasin, Thailand. I got to help some poor students that can't afford to get decent education since there were not enough skilled teachers. I taught them basic English, for example, the alphabets, colors, numbers, days, months and some basic conversations. My teaching plan is to keep their attention by some fun activities like drawing, coloring, singing and watching educational videos. Furthermore, I attended a reforestation project in Khon Kaen, my hometown, to volunteer planting trees. It's an arid area where the forest was destroyed and deforested. I went there to plant trees to restore the area. This project restored not only an area, but also local fauna. They were such great experiences to have. After I've done those projects, I felt that I could contribute to society even though I know it was not that much of a deal, and that makes me delightful.
From my previous experiences, I believe that I can serve society more in the future. One of my plan is to solve marine problems, for example, pollution from oil leak and garbage, climate change and sea life. For the first step, I have to learn more about marine science and technology, but in Thailand, it is lack of advanced technology for study about these fields. Therefore, I believe that the Global UGRAD program will help me achieve my goal, because many of the top quality of marine universities are in the United State. In addition, there are a lot of interested marine projects. It would be great if I can participate in this program, learn and gain more knowledge that can benefit me and my country.
As I have said, I really hope that I can be a part of the Global UGRAD program. It's such a great opportunity for me to experience different styles of education that can't be exposed in my country. I'm determined to learn and give back to community as much as possible.
