Hi there and Merry Christmas Everyone!
Here is my Boston U supplement. Hope i can get some opinions on it. I really appreciate honesty.
Thank you guys so much!
--------------------------
It is three weeks before the start of your freshman year at BU, and you are talking to your new roommate for the first time. Since you are trying to get to know each other, what are a few things you would want to share about who you are?
The first thing anyone should know about me is that I love sports. As a fan of two extremely successful American sport organizations in the Boston Celtics and New England Patriots, I am very accustomed to the tradition of success. Needless to say I was devastated when the Celtics lost in Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals to their arch nemesis, after an outstanding under the radar playoff run, and when the Patriots blew the lead in the Super Bowl XLII to lose the championship game after an impressive undefeated regular season.
Besides watching sports, I also enjoy playing them. Living in Hong Kong, a place where land is scarce, football isn't a sport that many people play. This has allowed me to focus most of my free time on Basketball. I have played on the school basketball team since Grade 8 and our school has managed to win one well-deserved championship in this time. I have also participated as a basketball coach for the younger students in our school.
Entertainment wise, my favorite band is Coldplay, but I am not a big enough fan to stick up posters of them in my room. As a sport fanatic, it should come as no surprise that my favorite movie is based on a sport. The Express not only portrays one of the best running backs in college football history, but being set in the late 1950s, the start of the Civil Rights Movement, the movie also tackles many political and social problems such as racism and discrimination, something I take an interest in.
Further interests I have outside the classroom include Photography and Public Speaking. This led me to participate in my schools Digital Photography Club of which I was formerly Co-President. With my natural interest in public speaking, I was appointed as team captain in last years Debating Society, which I was a member of for over six years. I also participated in the Hong Kong Model United Nations as a delegate, representing Thailand, the United Kingdom and Russia.
I also exceptionally enjoy helping the less fortunate. One of my biggest contributions was back in grade 10, when I was appointed Head of Stage and Set Design for "Verve"; our school's first charity fashion show. We were able to raise the most money from a single event in our school's history, and were fittingly awarded the "Ulrike Schwarzer Award", for significant contributions made to GSIS during the year.
I took Economics, Mathematics and Physics during my senior year in high school, but really my interest lies in business and economics. You will more than likely catch me reading the newest issue of The Economist. Current issues that intrigue me concern the global fiscal problems, prospects of economic recession and monetary policies. This, in addition to my interest in how different economies have been managed in these years of uncertainty, has helped me decide to pursue Business and Management at undergraduate level.
There are many other things you should know about me, but I believe this provides a pretty simple introduction into who I am.
