College Admissions Essay: A Career In Nicaragua

I was given one month to pack thirteen years of my life in a suitcase. Moving to the United States from Brazil has been a major landmark in my life. It was a phase defined by its drastic transition between to widely differing cultures. I was faced with the challenge of making different friends, and growing accustomed to a new educational system. This all became increasingly difficult when you take in to consideration my inability to communicate. Overcoming this obstacle was my biggest objective in ironing my complicated transition.

The American Dream today seems dismissed as an idealized cliché. I know better. I am a second-generation Albanian-American, political refugees’ grandchild, son of a single mother whose sacrifices facilitated my success. I would never have sung for the Metropolitan Opera had my grandfather not toiled in a deli; my working on cutting-edge biomedicine at Harvard Medical School would not be possible had my mother not had opportunities to be an entrepreneur. The first in my family to graduate from college, I hope to honor their sacrifice by using my medical research education to improve others’ lives.

My parents have always raised me to be grateful for what I have. I live in a safe and wealthy town with a superior education system, I have amazing friends and family, a roof over my head, and proper food and clothing.

The United States government has been caught doing nefarious acts against other countries for years, from selling WMDs to Saddam Hussein or nuking Japan with the atom bomb. One of these acts was the support of the Nicaraguan “Freedom Fighters”. The “Freedom Fighters” or the Contras, were a group who rebelled against the Nicaraguan government, which was lead by a Communist named Daniel Ortega, and were supported by the Reagan administration.

Imagine living in a small town of 813, which I’m sure we can all visualize very well. Imagine, one day getting the opportunity to fly 3,247 miles south to a city called Quito, in Ecuador. Excitingly, this is the exact contingency my fellow spanish classmates and I have for next summer on June 13th thru June 14th. I know as a student in high school, that sitting in a classroom for six hours a day isn’t very hands on. Sometimes high school education can be less than exciting. But next summer I get the privilege to take my education to whole new country for 13 days. Not only on this trip will I participate in meaningful service, be immersed into a whole new culture and develop leadership skills, but I will also be impacted personally and transformed.

In life, many people are so concern about doing things for themselves, without ever realizing that the greatest feeling ever comes from, helping those in need. We often forget that life is not just about finding happiness within ourselves but passing it to others. I have a passion within me to serve and help the people around me. As an Ambassador I will get to do just that. For me, being an Ambassador is not just about showing off Jackson State but more so about letting them see why I call this place home. I want to show them why a girl from Chicago was able to be comfortable so far from home. Most people try to discredit those who attend historically black colleges and universities and that is why most students and investors turn away from

If someone asked me where I am going to be in ten years, this would be my answer. I will have a great, high-paying job, and beautiful wife and family, and a nice sports car parked in front of my lovely house. When I look into the future, I see myself being successful and happy. Even though I always pictured myself this way, I never worried too much about how I would get there. I feel the Suffolk University can lay the groundwork for making these dreams into reality.

I tried to persuade my parents into paying for my flight ticket to Nicaragua in the summer for a mission trip. The best time to reached both of them was during dinner. I went on to explained to them how I want to make a difference in others life. Going on this trip will teach me how to get one of my comfort zone, appreciate the life I have, and gain a feeling of fulfillment. This are all the things that this trip will do for me. A lot of the youth people at the church we attend to have gone to a mission trip and they all loved it. In fact, most of them have returned multiple times. Some of the thing I will be doing on this trip are eating foreign foods, painting and building houses, and dealing with adults and children. My parents were thrilled

Crossing from Ecuador to the U.S was one of the easiest travel I have ever made. I was living in Ecuador when I decided to come to this wonderful country. On November 17th of 2015 I left Ecuador and I took a flight to Nicaragua. When I arrived in Nicaragua I made a trip in car from Managua to the border with Honduras. I rented a room in Honduras to pass the night and get some rest to be able to continue my trip the next day. The second day was a piece of cake, I traveled across the whole country within 12 hours.

I spent the early morning of the third day traveling across Guatemala trying to get to Tapachula, Mexico before 10 am. When I

Migration Argumentative Essay `”Immigrants are self selected achievers who come to another country to improve their economic status after five years”(Harms,William).
