As I rested my body on a moss filled rock in the Hawaiian rain forest, I struggled to comprehend how this diverse atmosphere fits so well with the violent volcanic eruptions of Kilauea Iki. The delicate patter of the rain, the vibrant ferns, and the colorful native species intertwine with the ominous crater floor and hardened lava to create an atmosphere that is the epitome of nature. Reflecting back on my trip to Hawaii, I am reminded of an individual's obligation to preserve the beauty in nature. Learning how nature has an incredible impact on all culture around the world, I found that it was my duty to give back to nature and culture. Stanford is an institution flourishing with various academic programs and organizations that do more than provide an education. With its small classes and dedicated professors, it truly inspires the students to foster their intellectual curiosity and use it towards the public good. I would like to be a part of a university that is committed to education for mere pleasure. In the next vital four years of my life, I intend to develop a strong foundation to be an effective member of society. I am confident that Stanford will propel me to accomplishing my goals. With incredible programs like the Haas Center of Public Good and the ability to form your own student groups, Stanford feeds into a world that honors community. The feeling I received when walking among "Pele's tears" was one that mirrored the inspiration that filled my bones when I walked Palm Drive. Stanford is more than an educational institution. It is a cohesive community that will be my launching pad towards a life filled with bold and daring action.
