The summer of 2008 was my first summer in the U.S. This summer I visited India, my motherland and had a lot of fun. My vacation was made special by charity. As a volunteer in UANA, I was supposed to initiate a mass book donation program for a new public library in Uttarakhand state of India. I was also directed to select top students from each district of Uttarakhand to be awarded scholarships for their college education. I did all the aforesaid work and doing so made me feel highly satisfied.
Describe a trait or characteristic that has been passed along to you by your family. Tell us why you like or dislike this aspect of yourself.

Curiosity is the trait that has been passed on to me and it can be traced back to my parents and other family members. I like being curios because it helps me in unraveling the mysteries of certain things that are extremely complex for me, such as the relationship between mind and brain. I am always curios when i see new things. Curiosity has also destroyed many valuables possessions. I recently salvaged my new laptop because of one silly question: "How does the new Solid State hard-drive work?"
New York City is an essential element of academic and cultural life at NYU. If you could engage in an activity or start a club or service organization at NYU, what would it be and how would you envision it impacting the larger community?

Homelessness has for long been a serious problem in the society. I would, if given a chance, try to eliminate this problem. Studies suggest that to get money and shelter, homeless people often take support of crimes like, stealing, robbing, and murders. I would convince everybody to volunteer and nip the problem from its roots. Economic crisis of 2008 has increased the problem manifold. Even if we can't help them financially, we can contact the orphanages and other authorities to help the needy.
You have been selected to sing in a talent show. What song would you choose? Why?
500 characters.
I would choose to sing "Oh! The people of my Motherland" by Lata Mangeshkar. It is a song in Hindi language which is dedicated to the gallant Indian soldiers who fought in the war of 1962. I would choose this song because it shows to us that people today have forgotten the sacrifices made by the soldiers and merely build parks in their honor and forget their sacrifice. The pain, the anger and the shock felt by the close ones of the martyrs is indefinable and it is depicted in this specific song.
Please tell us what led you to select your anticipated academic program and/or NYU school/college, and what interests you most about your intended discipline.
499 charaters.
Even before I came to the U.S., studying Business at the Stern School of business was my dream. Coming from a developing country, I understand the need for good education. NYU not only provides good education to students, but it also fosters a well educated person for today's world of challenges and hurdles. Stern School's rich heritage of more than 100 years has attracted me towards itself. As a business student, I intend of becoming a successful entrepreneur and a social worker for the world.
please give suggestions .. and vocab fixes
