‘Mandavali’ was the name of the slum bordering our condominium.

My family being active members of the “Arya Samaj”, I too became a member since I was ten. Arya Samaj is a national organization whose ideology is based on ‘Karma’ – doing right, ‘Dharma’ – knowing what is right and ‘Yoga’ – commitment to physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing.

An avid practitioner of Yoga, I volunteered in high school to spread the practice of yoga to the children residing in the local slum. Easier said than done, my efforts were futile as the children were more interested in loitering around than in practicing the ancient art.

I started with the enticement of sodas and samosas after every session, which increased the attendance of children. Gradually, the numbers increased and consequently, children started coming in for the love of yoga itself. The passage of time saw me forming close bonds with the children, which transcended social, cultural and religious boundaries.

I became their leader and with this increased responsibility I started conducting donation drives every month trying to meet their basic

I am interested in Rowan honor college because of the opportunities that it provides for students to explore other fields of study. By attending talks by guest speakers and field trip to places like The Museum of Modern Art in New York, I hope to partake in experiences which I would not otherwise engage in and expanding my creative and artistic knowledge. THe study abroad program which is partially subsidized for honor students also excites me as I hope to spend a semester abroad in Germany, learning about both their culture and engineering. Another aspect of Rowan Honors that I find important is the rigorous academic program that each member must undertake in order to maintain their position. It has been my experience that the most important aspect to education is to constantly challenge yourself to be better and the honors concentration curriculum is the quintessence of that belief.

June 2nd at the Austin Peay Dunn Center, I will promenade across the stage with pride as I graduate from Fort Campbell High School because during my high school career, I have been a successful honor roll student by maintaining a 3.5-grade point average or higher. Challenging myself with honors my freshmen and sophomore year, and Advance Placement (AP) courses my junior and senior year, has given me the opportunity and experience to strive for college readiness. As a freshman, beginning high school can be an intimidating experience and cause students to want to ease their way into the next four years; however, I wanted to challenge myself. This resulted in me taking Honors Literature and Honors World History. Classes such as those, allowed me to understand that I was highly capable of a more intense workload while achieving A’s and B’s in both classes.
