Should I stick with the international relations issue or talk about all the branches of politics?
Living in the immeasurable world, the world seemed so beautiful and adventurous, until I realized the reality of the world. After September eleventh, my family started watching the news more often and I would always watch late night news with them. Many questions emerged in my head about the mysterious globe we live in while watching the news regarding such as " Why are we at war", "why did they blow up the car" and "why are people dying" . As I grew up, my curiosity grew. Unlike most middle school kids, I liked watching the news but constantly watching the news showed me that there are many problems in my community and the world just waiting to be solved.
By watching the news at a young age, I gained an understanding how politics work. I soon applied that understanding to my every day life. At times I became frustrated with my majors lack of work as well as the Bush administrations foreign policy, but these frustrations gave me an idea. I could be the mayor or the president making those decisions the proper way. Ever since I became aware of the world, I have wanted the best for my country, but there are so many barriers such as politicians catering to special interest group as well as corruption. The government has yet to do something about these barriers. But why complain about the government when I live in a country that allows anyone to become involved in politics. With my involvement in politics, I can fix the issues rather than complain in front of my televisions screen about them. I am seeking to study at Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences so I can further my understanding of politics. I can study American politics, comparative and international relations, all which will prepare me for the world of politics. I look for a college that will allow me to study deeper roots of government; Cornell's Government major expands its courses into deeper ranges from economics to sociology, and to international politics. I am also presented with the opportunity to concentrate in a specific part of Government, which in my case would be international relations. With classes such as International Law, Ethics in International Relations and Comparative Foreign Policy, I will be able to further my passion for politics.
