¶ … American citizen of Dominican Hispanic origin who came to this country believing in the American dream, I find the university the ideal place to carry on my pursuit for this American dream that I am convinced that some day soon will be manifest to me as an individual. Budding from my initial belief in the American dream from the very young age, I have always wanted to know more about America and the more I knew about America, the more I wanted to get detailed about the facts that make it outstanding from other nations. This informed my choice of studies at the associates degree to be on American studies of which I am scheduled to finish by December of 2011.
The university would be the perfect place to further my studies bearing the fact that it is highly furnished with historical artifacts and facts. This makes it the centre of all historical studies and development inclined studies. With such a rich culture, the university will then accord me the necessary skills to continue my community focused studies and open more avenues to have me engaged in social activities. My vision of becoming a significant member of the American society, one who helps mankind, associates with the hardships of the society and takes care of the American race in general can only be nurtured to birth at the university.
My readiness and willingness to serve the society can be traced back to the various volunteer missions that I have engaged in, the cancer organizations like Revlon run/walk for women and Susan G. Komen breast cancer being the two volunteer engagements that impacted my life in a positive manner and gave me a mirror of the luck that I have and the more reason why I should give back to the community in a better package.
For the American community to open up to the less fortunate in the community, there is need to have a diverse leader and a pragmatic leader who will not only concentrate on the foreign affairs and the complex national economics and financial matrices but also on the basic misfortunes that face the average underprivileged America.
The best place hence to undertake American studies that will present me with the best shots at lifting our society from the disparity in lifestyle, by educating me on the details of the America that was, America that is and one that we want, is at the cradle of history itself; the university. This knowledge, combined with the zeal for information from around the world as I get updated through addictive reading of New York Times and continuous follow-up of updates on CNN, can surely make me climb to the apex of my career and vision in my areas of study.
