Q1: What is your most significant extra-curricular activity? Why this is important to you?(Please do not exceed 100 words in total).
Coming from a very humble economic background, I constantly faced challenges since a very early age. This triggered in me a sense of responsibility towards people, who are underprivileged, to enable them access to education. On a smaller level, I started training my college juniors regarding Mobile App development, after becoming a part of Microsoft Student Partner. After setting foot in corporate world myself, I dedicated my off-hours towards teaching & spending quality time with students & orphans from various NGOs. It has been my constant passion to help others get equal opportunity and chance to lead a better

I took up an education loan and managed my expenses by providing tuitions to. Though I was out of my home city, yet I was constantly engaged in my father’s action and provided my insights whenever required as I was unable to back the business financially. Somewhere I wanted the business to grow during my tenure in engineering (4 Years) so that I can repay my loan easily after completion of the course. However, despite all attempts, we found our business going downhill due to financial pressure. There were redundant inventories left in the store for which there were no buyers and the profit earned was utilized to buys the products in demand to maintain the business. We sensed that business required more money to survive, hence I started backing up financially too once I joined Dell. I kept on infusing money to add inventories under the guidance of my dad, assuming more inventories in our shop will result more buyers of the products. But that was probably not the best decision as we did not research on the market needs and kept on marinating the stock with stuff which was becoming outdated. There was lots of hard work going with no positive results. Also, my dad being only person at the location of the business was finding it difficult to manage …show more content…

    Over the years I became educated and skilled at clothing making and dreamed of profiting on my own and establishing a small shop in town to continue in the trade. My master and the family agreed to grant me a business loan and would donate the necessary tools to help me get started. Of course I would return the favor given the success of my business along with monthly payment installments. Getting started was difficult given my deformity due to small pox scarring, my family being loving and generous toward me were able to overlook my scars. The report of the masters clothing had spread across the village and many villagers were loyal customers, they saw that I was very skilled in my new found profession and continued business. Eventually business grew and we established a loyal customer base that got us through the threat of cheap slave labor. Although our prices fluctuated to compete with the slave owners our product was crafted with more integrity and kept business going. The need for products grew however customers were unable to always pay upfront forcing us to collect our profits. We started offering our customers discount opportunities for their loyal business and paying in cash. This helped our business receive more cash payments versus trade goods and lending…

    Countless times I wished to be face to face with the child or group I was indirectly supporting through monetary donations or through volunteer work and somehow provide them with more than just a temporary solution to their lifelong dilemma. I believe that the only true solution is to educate and provide them the means of which to construct a maintainable lifestyle without the constant support of others. In a perfect world, organizations such as American Red cross, Unicef, the Salvation Army, and every other organization that relies on donations would not exist and we’d simply live a life in which we primarily depend on ourselves. Simply because something seems unattainable or beyond our grasp doesn't mean we shouldn’t at least strive for it and that is exactly what my continued volunteer work will aim to do: work towards a perfect world. This idea reminds me of a commonly used expression by Norman Vincent Peal: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the…

    The success of the French in North America was largely due to the associations they developed with the American Indians, and the fur trading that provided animal pelts that were in high demand throughout Europe. The French built missions and worked to convert the Indians to Christianity, they settled primarily in Canada and the Great Lakes. France attempted to pioneer several settlements throughout North America that failed because of war with other countries, bad weather and diseases. Even though the French population was extremely small compared to the English they were still a major contender in North America because of their relations with the Indians. The French had the support of American Indians in staggering numbers during the four wars with England.…

    I have come to understand that I have an innate urge to help those more disadvantaged than I. I believe that God has placed this urge in my so that I can be an instrument of his will. We all have the potential and are called to me such an instrument and that calling comes in different avenues for each person. I believe that I have found one such avenue. I learned God understands and know the potential in each person and will task him or her with only the things they have the power to handle. I pray that as the years go forth and I enter into my professional career this experience and other experience will grant me the knowledge on how to create a nonprofit organization that will help the children of Haiti gain a proper education. I this yearning to construct something of that nature could only be placed in me from God and that’s how I know that I will be able to bring it into…

    The general thought among all people is that the only things that truly matter in life are “what we do”. In the end, the only people who are actually aware of “what we think”, or more importantly “what we believe”, is our ourselves. One’s beliefs and ideals may fade, but the only legacies that can never be erased is our deeds. Great men and women are never remembered for beliefs or thoughts, for “only consequence is what we do.”…

    These laborers support their families by working long hours and meager wages. They have little or no formal education and virtually no chance of a better life without one. Spending time with the workers that I’ve befriended in my compound has made me fully aware of how blessed and fortunate I am to be able to go to school. I’m convinced I have a promising future. I’m grateful for it, but shamelessly there have been a few times when I have taken my studies for granted by not putting forth as much effort as I could have or by complaining about having to get up early for class. All that has changed though. Knowing the extreme sacrifices that the poor make to provide for their loved ones has changed my attitude and thinking. Sadly, I’ve witnessed individuals do whatever it takes to survive. It’s my hope that someday I can help people acquire the literacy skills needed for a better life either through charitable service or by making generous monetary contributions to organizations that support literacy. Nelson Mandela said it best, “Education is the most important weapon we have to change the world.” This realization drives me to appreciate the life I live, cherish the circumstances I have and to take advantage of the countless number of opportunities I’ll encounter in my academic journey so that I can be of service to others in my global…

    To reach this ladder of success, I‘ve developed my own methods of survival through peace, love, and positivity. Unlike that homeless man who survives on his own, I persevere through helping others who lost their hope or are simply driven by the fear of working hard. On my free time, I motivate younger classmen with this message with the intention of leading them down a pathway unlike those who make up our despairing community. My change of perspective opened up many doors which allowed me to become a role model and a captain of my cross country team. Although my community has affected my academics and home situations profoundly, I now have the strive on bettering my future and experience on how it feels to fail but not give…

    As of now, I have placed in soccer tournaments with various soccer clubs (some of them in the premier division, which is the highest division in MOSA), won elementary school chess tournaments, won the "Catena Fun Run" for my age group, and got the most noteworthy presidential grant there is when I graduated fifth grade. I self-taught myself the piano and can play many classical pieces such as "Turkish March" and "Nutcracker", am in honors math and the gifted and talented program, made "Back in Black" band for my saxophone, and got to go to all the track meets for the 200 meter run, even winning one. Last of all, I received all A+s in every subject for every marking period in 7th grade. Each and every one of these achievements is a piece of my story, or my legacy, and could be considered as great accomplishments for one of my age. Obviously, though, I still have a lot more room to accomplish more and grow, and add bits of success to my legacy. I would like to have the success of being accepted into Biotec, and later go on to become a doctor of some sort. As I proceed with my life, I would also want accomplishments in my interests, activities, and schooling to become part of my legacy as well. However, accomplishments are great, but something else is an important part of your legacy- change. As of now, I haven't really made any immense or significant changes to the school or world. I mean, with everything you accomplish you definitely alter your school and world in some small way, but when I think of a great big change, I think of something that positively impacts everyone in a specific group, such as a school or world. This is why again, I don’t think I have made any huge changes as of now, but I would like to and without a doubt plan on doing so in the future. That's part of the reason I want to become a doctor- with every person they help heal, those people can get back on their feet and…

    If I had to pick one extracurricular activity to pursue in college, I would definitely choose club volleyball. Ever since I started playing volleyball in the 7th grade, I have been hooked. From that point on, the sport has become an invaluable part of me that has helped me grow into the person I am today. Since I joined volleyball two years after most of my peers, I was put on the “B-team.” I was determined to work as hard as I could to be placed on an advanced high school team. Thankfully, my hard work earned me a spot on a state-winning varsity roster as a freshman. We went on to win two state championships, and I personally received an All-West Region award. In this way, volleyball taught me that teamwork, dedication, and perseverance…

    Education has always been one of the most important things to me, and I am dedicated to learn as much as humanly possible. Throughout my high school career I have challenged myself by completing six advanced placement classes and taking other honors classes. I have taken these classes as a way to help guide myself for what is to come in the future in college. I was inducted into the National Honors Society during my junior year of high school, and I graduated with honors. Both of these successes are the two greatest accomplishments of my high school career. These two achievements prove how dedicated I was, and still am, to getting the best education I could. My quality of dedication will stick with me throughout my future endeavors.…

    Growing up, I have always known that I wanted to do more for the world. I wanted to help people that were hurt, disabled, or disadvantaged. I’ve always thought the world could be better if we stood up for one another and make each other’s days. My parents taught me while growing up that giving back is always more important than all the material things I could receive. I became a member of a girl scouts pack near my house and we always assembled fundraisers and donated what we made to local charities. When I decided I didn’t want to undertake the responsibilities of a girl scout, my dad introduced me to Special Olympics.…
