If America is the land of opportunities, NYC is where dreams come true. I have always seen NYC and NYU as a distant dream, something that couldn't happen to an Ethiopian girl who lives in the suburbs of Virginia. And yet, I'm applying to NYU. I'm not sure what I specifically want to study; I can only say that I'm a learner and my excitement to know everything is what is makes me so indecisive. But I believe that if anywhere, the atmosphere of NYU would be the perfect place to cultivate a desirable area to study.
NYU is 'In and of the City' and 'In and of the World.' What does the concept of a global network university mean to you? How do you think studying in New York City, Abu Dhabi, or one of NYU's global sites would change you as a person and equip you to build cross-cultural relationships at NYU and beyond?
For NYU, diversity is demonstrated not only in the people who attend, but the global campuses, the various classes, individualized study. And coming from a high school with racial diversity, I am one who understands this brainchild of diversity because I know that only in NYC will diversity be the most unique because everything starts here. NYU is smack dam in the middle of NYC, the capital of the world. Studying at NYU, I think it will better prepare me for the world out there, and already having known the gift of diversity, I think that I will not take steps but leaps towards building cross-cultural relationships, creating a bridge, interconnecting humanity.
If you had the opportunity to bring any person -- past or present, fictional or nonfictional -- to a place that is special to you (your hometown or country, a favorite location, etc), who would you bring and why? Tell us what you would share with that person.
I would love to bring back Martin Luther King Junior because he was the driving force for why I have an Asian best friend or the fact I have a Indian and White guy friends who are tighter than the spirals on Twizzlers. The fact that I go to school with a happily diverse population speaks volumes about King's work. I would love to bring him back just to show him his work. To be able to say, Hey look at what you did. You see the Spanish and black girls who went to the bathroom, giggling together, that's because of you! I just regret that he died before seeing the impact of his work.
