'immigrant parents in the US' - Pennsylvania(150 words max); Describe yourself

Being born in the United States to immigrant parents has had a very great impact on the way I have been brought up in this country. Although many struggle to find identity between two radically different cultures, I have managed to merge my Indian background as well as my American upbringing and can therefore be considered equally a part of both cultures. Being exposed to so much diversity as well as having a keen interest in geography (I have made it to the state level Geography Bee three times) has caused me to become interested in the rest of the world. As a result, in addition to taking French at school and being able to fluently speak two Indian languages, I have been learning Swedish and Dutch. I also take up interest in international issues and follow the actions of the United Nations very closely as well. I do not consider myself a citizen of one single entity, rather I consider myself a citizen of the world.

find an identity

so much diversity : at this point, you have only stated two different cultures, so that might not be accurate. I would suggest being exposed to diversity . Or if you want to continue with so much diversity , show more involvement of cultures, or probably, put the fact about the languages in front.

The essay shows that you have keen interest on matters around the world. And wow, you can speak 6 languages now?

:D

Oh I like your concluding sentence: nice touch there. Overall this was a nice and delightful read, I believe you were focusing on how diverse you are & your interest, which describes you well. Nice work!

Hope this helps!
