Wanting to immerse in a culture very different from my own, I went to India to teach English for a month this past summer. I spent my days interacting with my Indian host family and the children of a nearby school, who gave me an insider's view into their culture and tradition. As cliché as this sounds, they really inspired me to live my life differently. Not only was I able to help others in this uplifting experience, but I also learned to look at the world from a different perspective.

Flashback to 2009.
Workaholic Jen Chan lived a perfect life as HSBC's financial manager until her boss tells her that she must take a paid vacation. But she didn't want to-her fun is her work. And moreover, she doesn't know where she would go. One day, while tidying her bookshelf, a photo falls from one of her books. It was a photo of a school in India, where she taught in the summer of 2009. Feeling nostalgic, Jen returns to the school, improving it in a way different than she had 40 years ago.
Please tell us what led you to select your anticipated academic program and/or NYU school/college, and what interests you most about your intended discipline.
When I was young, I asked my mom, who was obsessed with economics, countless questions about the economy. But no matter how well she explained it, I remained baffled. To decode my curiosity, I signed up for an economics class my senior year in high school. Though the captivating class satisfied my interest temporarily, I want to major in economics to quench my curiosity entirely. So in the future, instead of being the one with the questions, perhaps I can be the one with the answers.
