serdarovez 10 / 33 3 Dec 23, 2012 #1Hey, guys! This is my supplement for Bowdoin please critique as harsh as possible and I'll return the favor!Bowdoin students and alumni often cite world-class faculty and opportunities for intellectual engagement, the College's commitment to the Common Good, and the special quality of life on the coast of Maine as important aspects of the Bowdoin experience. Reflecting on your own interests and experiences, please comment on one of the following:1. Intellectual engagement2. The Common Good3. Connection to place"There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed" said President Woodrow Wilson. So what is the common good? All people have their own definition of this phrase to me it's to bring a change. Devotion to the common good is the dissolution of dominating self-absorption, yielding to the greater needs of the world at large.Last summer Volunteered to teach Kids project at Mary American Corner and learnt a lot from it. In order for kids to understand the theories in better way and to keep their interest in lessons, I needed to be an inspiring teacher. I started to combine humor, games and discussions and at times told them stories of my own childhood. Teaching them how to be independent while learning how grows as part of group. During the course this attachment was one of the meaningful things of my life I grew attached to many of the children. I plan to participate in any opportunity where I can help to bring a change in the peoples' thinking, to give them an out of a box experience.We cannot afford to wait for someone else to help us.In Bowdoin, I wish to learn effective ways of pursuing the common good by learning from different professors and students through the works of cooperation.Please check my grammarand feel free to add something .Thank you

Let them come in the next lines :)In order for kids to understand the theories in better way and to keep their interest in lessons, I needed to be an inspiring teacher.Keeping the kids in their lessons was a difficult tasks. So I introduced games, humor and stories to have their attention in tact. This made me become their inspirational teacher.
