The Rochester Curriculum - University of Rochester students enroll with no required subjects as they design their own college path. Write about the subjects and learning situations that interest you most, and how you intend to use your autonomy hereI'm very interested in the Rochester Curriculum which allows me to have the autonomy to explore my subjects' interests. I have a strong interest in two majors: law and business. My interest in business is fostered by my aunt's success in business. With her ability and courage, She has turned herself from a poor woman into a CEO of one of the best newspaper companies in Vietnam in 5 years. This anecdote is the reason why I like business. The fact that a person's decision can change the situation of the whole company. On the other hand I have always liked to experience law since it is the fundamental base for every country. The fucntion of law is to ensure that every one is treated equally and therefore, without law, the society will be a pot of unjust and bias things. Rochester's Curriculum will help me to experience my interests before deciding what major I will study.
Meliora: 'Ever better' - The University's motto, Meliora, directs our focus toward continual improvement through research, understanding, and collaborative efforts. Offer and example from your personal experience of an obstacle you faced or a problem you identified. Describe the actions you took and the result."Hey Asian, pass me the balls". That was the sentence I heard in every soccer practices when I first came to America. Being born in Vietnam, where soccer never reaches the world class level, I was stunned with the students' ability to play soccer in America. Sadly, the team looked down on me, and I felt like I was not part of the it. Depressed with my situation, but I could not give up on the sport that I loved since I was a kid. I wanted to play soccer and got respect from the team, so I decided to practice more. After every practice, I would stay in the field to do extra running and shooting around the field while my teamates competed with each other to see who could take shower first. I kept practicing with the belief that hard works will paid off one day, and that day did come. I had my first goal in America after a month in front of the impression from my teamates. Two weeks later, I even was in the starting line of my team to play against other school. I learn a lesson that, strive for your goal as much as you can, and your dedication will paid off.
