In brief, why do you feel that Skidmore is a good match for your academic and personal goals?
Skidmore has long been known for its world-class professors. Going to Skidmore is the best way for me and learn from the best. With its small class size, I am sure I will get the personalized attention I need. By integrating the humanities and social sciences, Skidmore's interdisciplinary approach will not only give me the opportunity to explore the application of different ideas, but also lead me to examine the world through different lenses.
I long go to Skidmore where students also accept and respect the differences. Skidmore is a the cultural melting pot, a school that I feel the sense of home and community.
Skidmore College is committed to creating and supporting a diverse and inclusive community. Please share a personal experience from which you gained a greater understanding of the value of diversity OR describe what you are seeking in a diverse campus community.
In Skidmore's diverse campus, I look forward to immerse myself in a pool of different cultures to learn from others. The world is of myriad differences, By learning how to communicate and connect with people of other cultures, I will be able to access to endless opportunities and become a citizen of the world.
Growing up in rural China, I had witnessed how the much the locals depend on nature to survive and how much hard work they invest into a single crop. But due to global warming and pollution, they don't always harvest what they invest. At Skidmore, I hope to establish an organization to introduce my rural Chinese culture to the different groups and ask them to help protect the environment.
Please share an example of an instance when you feel creative thought really did matter. (Feel free to draw upon history or your on experience.)
It was mid-autumn and I was ten. At the bottom of a hill, my five-year old sister was gazing at the dozen of kites that were sailing in the blue sky.
"I want a kite." My sister grumbled.
"I don't know how to make one." I said to her.
"Ahhhh." Then she started crying. Suddenly, a horde of dragonflies whirled in the air and I was enlightened.
Using a net, I caught a dragonfly and tied a thin string around its tail. Holding the string, my sister ran in circles and her mirth echoed in my ears.
Do I answer the prompt. Please edit my work!!!
