College Essay

Hailing from the Island of Jamaica, I was always eager to explore more opportunities as much as I can. I adore diversity and was always fascinated by traveling abroad, meeting people and learning about different cultures. The multicultural environment of my country helps me to view diversity in a positive aspect. Meeting people and learning about different cultures is my favorite hobby. I also have command over different languages of my country. Acquiring knowledge stimulates me to go out of my comfort zone and explore which is why I chose to study abroad and learn not only about the cultures of my own country but also about the whole world. I wanted to learn in a multi-cultural environment to promote respect for each other rather than jurisdiction and racial discrimination. By applying to ‘Hollins University’, I challenged myself and started a new chapter in my life. The University will help me shape my life to become a person competent enough to attain a successful career. My reason for applying at this prestigious University is to acquire a clear path and to attain quality education and also to experience diversity without being discriminated because of my color. I am an active participator in several extracurricular activities which developed my personality in every aspect. I participated in different cultural activities such as Sudoku and crossword competition. Since childhood I like to play basketball, so when I learned about the Hollins famous Basketball club, I got extremely excited about that and hoped to enhance my athletic abilitie. In Hollins, I will undoubtedly enhance my skills, knowledge, and expertise and will exploit all the opportunities to its fullest extent.
