I started my application today for UChicago and immediately find myself stumped at the first question. Although I know what to write, I cant get it down on paper. I have written a little bit and need people to give me advise on whether or not my current direction is good.
As an Indian who has spent his entire life living in China while attending an International school, I find myself in a vulnerable position. You see, applying to universities is not the easiest of tasks for me; while most other students around the world find themselves applying to universities for a greater cultural experience, I find myself struggling to find a place where I can still keep in touch with my multi-cultural background; a place where I can find chai (Indian tea) and 炒饭 (Chinese fried rice) on the same table, a place where it is completely normal to see a White child and a Chinese child playing side by side.
