Describe yourself as a student and also your aspirations for the future. Please include examples from your personal academic and non-academic experiences. I am an international student from St. Petersburg, Russia, and for the past two and a half years I’ve attended Westminster School in Connecticut as a boarder. Life away from home combined with the constant academic atmosphere around me taught me how to become more independent, dedicated and diligent. As a student, I try to be on top of my assignments and assessments all the time. To me, while on school time, nothing is more relevant than academics. I am always prepared for my lessons and eager to participate in class, after all, the work I do will only benefit me later on. For example, when I came to Westminster as a new freshman, I was automatically signed up for all regular level classes for the year. At first, I …show more content…

During my life, my parents have taken me to more places in the world than I could ever wish to visit. After seeing this vast diversity of our world, I decided that I must learn more about different cultures and possible find connections with the Russian culture.

At school, I have completed the AP French Language and Culture curriculum during my sophomore year and currently, as a junior, I am working towards finishing the AP Spanish Language and Culture course. With this vast experience in both traveling and exploring different cultures I am able to share it with my community. At Westminster, I am the head and creator of the Spanish Lab and the French Club. Both of these organizations focus mainly on exploring the cultures and learning the

Some people may argue that school is not necessarily a tool for learning itself, but a tool which teaches us how to learn. The intensive amounts of time spent working in and out of school is something that anyone can use to reach success in their life with the right approach.

Mathematics has never been my strongest subject in school, but it is the subject that inspires me the most.

In my opinion, every student in America should be required to complete a sociology course at some point in their education. It not only can provide an unbiased education of our society, but it also challenges points of view and allows for students to explore and form their own opinions about their environment. By creating more sociologically aware individuals, unity would be more achievable for our country and settle the conflict we face. This is what sociology has done for me as a student and because of this, I believe other students should have the opportunity to experience the class as well. Sociology is unbiased which provides students, like myself, with a solid base education of the world we live in.
