1. Who or what influenced you to apply to Syracuse University?
When I first made the decision to study abroad, I searched tirelessly for the school that would best fit me. A school with a good communications program, open to diversity and hopefully located in New York City, the city of my dreams. When Google listed Syracuse University, I fell in love. It went way beyond my expectations and I couldn't have found a better school that had everything I was looking for, but what really hooked me in was the amount of school spirit that the students seemed to exude. It didn't hurt either that The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications was listed as a top school for communications. It was all these factors and more that makes Syracuse one of my top choices.
2. Who is the person you dream of becoming and how do you believe Syracuse University can help you achieve this?
I dream of becoming the best that I can possibly be, the kind of person that my parents can be proud of but still structured in who I am. I value my current identity. I believe that Syracuse can help me unlock my full potential and mold me into being one-day successful in the field of communications. I want to become culturally diverse and to explore the media in an international level, which I think Syracuse can offer with its Study Abroad Program. All in all, I want to be the type of person that can give back to society and live a life with no regrets, which I know I will achieve at Syracuse University.
3. If you have had work experience, what skills and/or knowledge did you gain?
My parents own a photo company so for a time over the summer when I was younger I would work as a cashier and cater to the costumer in one of the company's branches. Make no mistake even if I was the owner's daughter my mother told the manager not to give me any slack and work me hard because I was still getting paid. So I learned the ropes of working as a cashier and how the customer's happiness came first. I learned that you have to work as a team, if one person made a mistake it would affect the whole company. I learned how important greeting a costumer is with a smile and knowing your company and what you're selling goes a long way. It went beyond earning a few bucks over the summer; it was more about learning how lucky I had it and what hard work meant.

Our mission of Scholarship in Action, education for the world in the world, extends beyond the classroom to include engagement opportunities with our campus community, the City of Syracuse, and locations across the globe. Based on your interests, tell us what real-world experiences you might pursue during your education at Syracuse as part of this mission.
The whole world will be my classroom; the four walls of the university alone will not limit me. I have always wanted to study abroad and experience new cultures. With that being said, I plan to take full advantage of SU's Discovery Programs, be it Strasbourg or Florence. I know that this will be a good opportunity to expand my horizons not just through the city but to the whole world as well. To set the foundations of my education at an international level and to broaden my horizons, I know that this is an opportunity of a lifetime. I don't plan on limiting myself, I am open to any opportunity that will come my way so that I can graduate a better person filled with the knowledge to really give back to society.
Thank you! any feedback and how to improve would help :D
