Question: It is now 2013, how has the Macaulay Honors College changed you? (300 words)
I'd love any advice you can give me
It's a gorgeous morning on this beautiful spring day in 2013, and I sit waiting for my interview in the waiting room of Princeton University's Fellowship Coordinator's office. The grounds look no different today than in 2008, when I first visited the campus. As I wait, I find myself wondering where the time flew. These last four years at Macaulay, albeit fully packed with exciting internships and educational opportunities, seem like only brief moments in time, which passed far too quickly, and yet the depth and extent of my studies, the exciting research projects I was involved with, the opportunities to work with some of the nations leading historians, is evident in my grades and portfolio of work.
Using the funding provided to me by the Macaulay Honors College, I have been able to study in places like France, and tour famous historical sites like Normandy Beach and the Somme River. Seeing these places first hand has enabled me to not just understand the history of the events, but to amerce myself in it. Internships with organizations like the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Exhibit and the US State Department have provided me with invaluable practical experience in my field.
With my Cultural Passport, I have been able to enrich myself by visiting museums and seeing artifacts up close, at little or no cost. I have seen beautiful exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, and attended operas at the Metropolitan Opera House. I have not just received a mere education, I have received lessons in life and culture, lessons that will serve me will as I peruse my career.
Those broad and rich experiences at Macaulay is the reason why I am here today at Princeton University being actively sought after for a much coveted seat in their graduate school.
