How will you explore your intellectual and academic interests at the University of Pennsylvania?

After hearing about Penn, I knew that Penn is the unparalleled university for me. I come from a small farming town in India where women have the right to vote, but aren't treated equally. It is inflexible for women to an attain education. I am a first generation student, my dad graduated from high school but my mom never went to school. When I moved to US, I thought I was going to be living in a big city like the ones I saw on t.v., but alternately I moved to another farming town at ______. All my life I've been enclosed with individuals who graduated from high school, and commenced farming. No one has ever done something outside our little farming world. I pledged myself that I am going to do something extensive and divergent. Alas, Life hasn't been the best for me. I am one of those low-income students whose parents work really hard to afford a tiny apartment. I attained my first job as soon as I turned 16, and have been saving pennies to afford college.

Penn is perfect for me because I will be in a big city that I've always dreamed of, and I will be surrounded by peers and teachers with nobel prizes who will prepare me for my future. I want to attend Wharton and most likely focus on finance. The interdisciplinary study will allow me a chance to study Psychology. Although, Finance and Accounting have always been my favorite, I want to learn more about our human mind and behavior. At Penn, I can pursue both interests simultaneously. Penn will allow me to design my own curriculum, and I will have a prospect of explore multiple Interests.

While designing my own schedule, I will definitely arrange time for community service as It has been a huge part of my life for a long time. I will also join Penn's Indian Student Association since I have heard a lot of good things about it. I will learn more about India as a nation, and will get to celebrate some of the festivals with serendipity. I will also join Big Brother and Big Sister club as I didn't have anyone to assist me from childhood to adulthood. I have been helping my teenage cousins with this transition. I acquaint them with my experiences and give them the preeminent advice. I want to persist that because I realized that I genuinely lacked someone to assist me.

I also want to join Women in Leadership. As mentioned earlier, Women in India have the right to vote but they aren't treated equally. Growing up, I didn't know any women who was in leadership. I learned about all the significant things women are doing after I moved to US. I learned about Indra Nooyi, who is the CEO at PepsiCo. I admire her everyday, and I want to represent Indian women. I want to inspire Indian women to pursue their dreams, and to start living independently. Joining Women in Leadership will give me the opportunity to learn further about other inspirational women.

Despite the fact that I was born and brought up in India. I recognized myself in US, the land of the opportunities. Over the many years, I have observed both cultures with different lenses. I have perceived that regardless of these two worlds being very different, they together develop a similar, loving, and passionate community. I desire to contribute to Penn's diverse community. I know that Penn isn't going to be easy but I am ready for all the challenges, and the opportunities Penn has to offer.

rewrite:
I was born and raised in India, but I see myself as an American too; An Indian American that immigrated here with the hopes of achieving the American Dream.

i like your essay it was very strong and I liked how you gave specifics on what club you plan to join on campus.
