As Nepal is a developing country, advances in science and technology are often muffled by the quest to attain political stability and attempts to utilize current technologies to its full potential. But despite this, I want to help my country advance in the field of medicine, and to achieve this I need not just knowledge but an overall strong disposition that will give me the strength to overcome all odds. In a country where even in the 21st-century women still face a lot of hardships due to inequality, trying to bring about a change as a woman will surely prove to be challenging. Therefore, the women at Mount Holyoke embody what I aspire to become: fearless, confident, and ingenious.
Mount Holyoke has excelled in the sciences. This is apparent by the great feats achieved by its alumni. The state of the art facilities, expert faculty and encouraging atmosphere will evidently allow me to delve deep into my interest in the biological sciences and equip me with the necessary skills to be competent in my field. I want to be a force to be reckoned with.
Holyoke is booming with diversity. Women from so many walks of life have come together to form such a tight-knit community. I can also take advantage of the Five College Consortium, which will allow me to be part of an even bigger community of students. I think this opens new doors to learning. Having to adapt to diversity at this scale will definitely include having my beliefs tested and challenged by different, sometimes contradicting perspectives. I might be forced to question certain beliefs that I hold true or face moral dilemmas. But I believe this is crucial to allow me to examine my work and ideas through various viewpoints and lead me into making informed decisions.
The various student organizations here are another appealing factor as they seem to be very proactive and engaging. I am particularly interested in the Animal Welfare Association. As an international student, I also seek the financial aid opportunities, and Holyoke is well known for being inclusive and helping out a lot of students like me.
I truly believe that Mount Holyoke can foster my talents and help me transform into the woman I want to become and achieve my goals.
