Essay: Very personal and inspiring (at least I hope). I wrote about how after my parents passed away, I sort of lost my sense of balance and become lost, and how coming to India and identifying with my culture and family grounded me again. Also, I wrote about how going to an international school has broadened my perspective and how this, along with my innate interest in poltics and foreign affairs, brought about my interest in Model United Nations.
Recommendations:
- Biology Teacher- great
- English Teacher- has known me from 9th grade and witnessed (and even helped) my transition into a new me. Amazing!
