Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story. New culture, new country, new family, new school, new people. Everything here are new to me. Leaving my family behind, along with my mother, we put the first step on the United State. I still remember the second day I woke and walked out of the door, the first sentence popped out from my mouth is that is this America. There is no people, no car. The loneliness soon displaced by initial excitement. It is not a place I have thought. First day of week is daunting. I have always been told in order to become successful in business world you must have some special connections and hooks. These perceptions have been really concerned and even prevented me from pursing business major. Because I have always told that pursing a business path will be unrealistic to you. So my parents have always encouraged me to be a dentist. And I decided I am going to be a dentist until I attended a workshop hosted by youth speaker Grant Baldwin. During his workshop, which is called Reality Check, he talked about what major we should choose. The three criteria for choosing a major deeply crave in my mind: first, something you are passionate about; something you are good at; something you enjoy doing. When I try to answer these three questions, my hear beats accelerated when I find out my answer to these three is the same- the business! However this is not much a surprise since I have always knew that I love business! I love to earning money: a few of my hobbies are to hosting a real estate sale which display our beautiful home but also at the same time put used items my parents and I have purchased over the weekend on sale. I usually serve as a cashier and truly enjoyed the job-being able to promote products to customers and handling money. Another thing that I have done is to recommending my parents to use my educational fund on buying cheap properties with minor problems. Our weekend is usually occupied by working on the house we have recently bought. In long term, it is a great investment. It is a little risky, but the end we will get great return. One reason I choose to attend New York University is definitely because of you are located in New York City, a land of untold opportunities. I have always loved New York. I have been in the U.S. for more than three years. And every year my family and I drove to New York City. There seems to be a magnet that is pulling me toward the city. The best reason for why I am so fond of New York is that when I was in New York, I truly felt like I am in America- the melting potpeople surround me seem from all over the worldthat really makes me excited. I am currently in a school where I am the only Chinese student and most of the classmates have been known each other since elementary or even kindergarten. Sometimes I feel like a little bit isolated. But I adjust fairly well. I want to meet to more people, so in addition to the day classes in high school I attend night class in community class. I was amazed where my classmates come from Columbia, Sedan, Vietnam, Korea. I study with them while exchanging our views about different cultures. It is just exhilarating for me. New York City will definitely offer unique opportunities that nowhere else can offer. I am opportunity seeker. I endeavor to take all valuable opportunities. I love challenges. I might not be extremely bright, but I do possess the determination and motivation and bravado and passion to succeed. During my high school career, I have been able to take some business classes during my freshman and sophomore years. I self-studied business law and entrepreneurship on my spare time since my school does not offer good classes.
Sometimes, compromise is necessary. However, on the matter of choosing school and major instead of compromising, I decide to pursue what I truly like to do. I know it is risky to apply NYU as my Early Decision. But I do trust believe if I get accepted it will be the best decision and investment I have never made. I believe NYU will provide best curriculum and opportunities. I want to study close with leaders in their own distinct fields. I truly hope I can come to New York City seeking my aspiration and gaining experience and growing as a leader. A Leader is the who is willing to take actions and Follow your Passions.
