"To create, preserve, teach and apply knowledge in the service of humanity." My understanding of the service to humanity is two dimensional. Materially and physically, I would contribute to the community and the world I am current living by offering my physical labor or material gains, which includes the forms of volunteering, community service, or direct monetary donation. Mentally, I wish I could be one of these greatest intellectuals who expand the human being's boundary for knowledge, truth, liberality, and toleration. Emory is the hub of civic activism where I could engage in numerous public service activities; it is also the cradle of human knowledge where I could learn, think, and study.
I have always been an active participant in small class discussion. The free intellectual clash with other students and joy of voicing my own opinions and being tested by other's ciriticisms elevates my study to a higher level. Emory's small class size could ensure me numerous opportunities for class discussion and close relationship with teachers, both of which I have been used to in high school. Who doesn't want to have a Scorates' dialectic form of intellectual exploration with his peers and professors in college? I could have such experience in Emory. For Philosophy major like me, the best part in Emory is the countless opportunities to attend lectures of and even work with the great philosophers and scholars, offered by Institute for the History of Philosophy through public lectures and workshop seminar. At Emory, I will be taught by not only great professors but also great philosophers.
Independently and voluntarily, I launched my own tutoring program in my high school. I saw students struggling with their grades not because of their talents but because of the way they studied, so I worked with them, boosted their grades and shared their joy of achieving success. I am an active and prolific writer in internet fighting for animal rights and denouncing abusive treatment done to amimals by human. For two years, I have been constantly involved in animal rights issues and recently dedicated my research results to my Environmental Science Class, a final project that, to my satisfaction, changed my classmate's view of animal rights and raise their awareness for relevant issues. I am always aware that there are also many miseries and injutices in the world that need to be fixed. I aspire to better the world as much as I can once opportunity comes. Emory is a community dedicated to public service. Beside continuing my passion for tutoring and fighting for animal rights, I will expand my ability to influence the world by taking advantage of opportunities offered in Emory. Volunteer Emory could provide me with numerous opportunites to contribute to the community. Though not a gay student myself, I will join LGBT Life in Emory. I feel its my mission and responsibility to help advance human civilization by broadening people's mind in issue like gay and lesbeian rights.
Coming from a high school with high percentage of international students, I have been used to be exposed to diverse cultures, people and opinions. Emory again could provide me with an environment full of vibrant and diverse members who understand and learn from each other. For me, Emory's diverse community is a place of opportuntities waiting for me to explored and interacted with.
Emory' mission statement corresponds to my own and Emory is the place where I could achieve my goals: to be an intellectual, a activitist and global citizen who dedicate his life to the welfare of mankind. Emory would be a dream come true for me.
