Although I am not certain on a major I am interested in Seattle University's international studies and the Global Awareness Program. SU will help me gain knowledge and perspective on international issues and give me a foundation that I need in order to achieve my career goals. The Global Awareness Program will allow me to expand my major and provide me with global experiences and opportunities. I know I will thrive at Seattle University because students are forced to take responsibility for their education while given a variety of classes to broaden their academic passions. At the same time SU has teachers who are personally invested in the student's academic success.
The mission of Seattle University pledges not only to prepare students for their educational careers, but also to promote global leaders. I am a member of my schools global scholar program through which I have hosted a German student from Berlin, skyped with a girl who lives in Baghdad, participated in global assemblies, and organized a toy drive for immigrants from Burma. Seattle University provides countless programs and opportunities for me to be a global citizen. Because Seattle University has diverse extracurricular activities, I would not only be able to pursue my current hobbies, but also discover new interests. As a student I would start a Save the Children Club that would work with the independent international organization to help local Seattle children who are living in poverty. It would provide students opportunities to volunteer with in the community and to travel abroad to over 120 countries. This would combine my interests of working with under privileged kids, my passion for global awareness, and international humanitarian issues. I would also join the Social Work Club that would give me an opportunity to promote social justice while upholding the Jesuit traditions and mission. Seattle University provides an environment for personal and intellectual growth.
