Prompt
What qualities or unique characteristics do you possess that would allow you to contribute to the university community?
The college environment is one of the most diverse communities there are. The students are like snowflakes in the sense that no two are identical. As I enter my freshman year, even though I would be one of those snowflakes, I am certain to find common ground with others regardless of their crystalline structures. I am a very open-minded individual. I am one to start a conversation with someone of a completely different culture, join the newest club on campus, and get involved. I am very appreciative towards the opportunities given to me, and am ready to embrace the college experience.
I was born in the 3rd world country of Haiti, and came to America at a young age, the diversity and opportunities astounded me. I jumped into the melting pot head first and quickly began to blend in with the community. My family's history has taught me to value opportunities given to me, to work hard for success, and look at the world in an open minded fashion. Though focused on my schoolwork, I am not someone to just attend class and leave with no sense of connection to the community. I enjoy getting involved and look forward to the many opportunities at Florida Gulf Coast University.
