648 Words3 Pages

If I were asked to describe myself using only one phrase, I would not hesitate to say that I am a world explorer. My identity as an explorer is meaningful to every aspect of my life, and drives me to travel the world as much as possible.

I always believe that life is short, and every second matters. Hence, I want to spend my time on those things that are truly meaningful to me and take full advantage of my life. Since an early age, I have been curious about the Earth we live on, an amazing place filled with such different landscapes, fascinating people, diverse cultures, etc. My biggest aspiration in life is to see every inch of the globe, ranging from an ancient village in the Inland of China to a modern metropolis in the US, and to leave a unique trace by making a difference everywhere I engage. …show more content…

    Synthesis Essay #3: “Our Direction: A Brave New World” Paralyzingly forbidding lifelessness filled the callous laboratories, where embryos were genetically engineered and conditioned for their caste and occupation.
