Rochester students represent many different points of view. Each student constructs an independent study and research plan. Describe what you will contribute to Rochester's diversity of ideas, experiences, and identities. If you can, incorporate a positive past experience where you chose your own learning path, or a negative experience where you wanted to exercise more independence.
My mom. My dad. My grandma. My little sister. My two brothers. Me.
This is my family.
As the second oldest child and the oldest daughter in the family, responsibilities are blindly and continuously thrown at me from all sides.
Wash the dishes! I'm hungry! There's no more toilet paper! Take the dog out for a walk!
In such a constricted environment, independence is something I don't have much of.
In result, my outlook on life and everything in general is quite unique. I tend to approach a problem as a challenge; much like how I confront a tower-like pile of unwashed dishes. Additionally, due to this environment, I have learned how to make right decisions quickly and concisely. Listening to younger siblings whine about either wanting to go to a person's house or eating a particular outdated bag of potato chips, decision-making has become like a newfound instinct. Such characteristics may be essential in contributing to an extraordinary college community such as Rochester.
