My parents think of themselves as primarily self-sufficient. Because of this, we live on the peak of a hill in the middle of nowhere, far away from the hustle and bustle of our old home in the city. Although this is their ideal life, they realized that it may prevent me from expanding my own horizons.

My journey through my undergraduate career has not been smooth. During my freshmen year, I performed very well in my classes. With this newfound confidence, I decided to take part in more extracurricular activities during my sophomore year. Growing up in a small, predominantly white community, I was rarely exposed to diversity. Thus, in my college experience, I hoped to learn more about people from different backgrounds and connect with students that have a similar culture to my own. Fortunately, Loyola University Chicago’s diverse environment allowed me to do this and I became more involved in Loyola’s South Asian Student Alliance (SASA) and Hindu Student Organization (HSO). I also began working so I could help my parents with college finances.

I have twelve years of school ahead of me, and I am not afraid of the hurdles it will bring because I know how to work hard for the long haul. I will apply this strength in the university as well. With the same skill, I’ve pushed through the adversities in altruism, the primal reason as to why I deserve this scholarship. As an altruist, I have put hundreds of hours of community service into the City of Howell, impacting the lives of children and adults each day.

At times, our teen center faced closure and disapproval from government officials, but I pulled my board’s representatives over each hurdle and into our new building.

I’ve always been interested in the field of medicine. When I was being born, I almost died, being saved only by the ingenuity of a Nurse Day for whom my middle name is dedicated to.

All my life I have been inspired by powerful women. My mother who was never able to achieve an education has always motivated and taught me to go after my dreams. I believe that at Wellesley I can learn from women who have overcome obstacles and have inspired other young girls to become so much more than what society would like them to be.

On my sixteenth birthday my father joined me while I was blowing out my birthday candles. As a little kid, I would wish for a new Pink Barbie Bike or any sparkly material item I had seen in the store window the day before, ironically, I still wished for something that would become meaningless in a few weeks. When I asked my dad what he wished for me, he closed his eyes for what seemed like hours, and replied, “I wish for you to be part of something bigger than yourself, bigger than me. Making an impact on others is my only wish for you.” Wellesley is a college that allows women to think beyond the norm. While the college offers women scholars the opportunity to prosper, the student body and athletics provide me positive camaraderie that assist my determination and passion towards my

Growing up, parents are your biggest fans and worst critics. My parents have loved me unconditionally and have tried to give me the world.

Yes I’ve made mistakes and done things that I shouldn't have. I understand the anger, the hurt, and the disappointment that I’ve caused throughout my upbringing. In the end, some parents are more critical than others, and I got the short straw. Making your kid feel like they’re the reason you’ll leave one day kills. This most recent disappointment might be

When I found out about the Seven Sisters schools, Barnard College caught my attention. This school really drew me in and when I researched more, I automatically knew that this school had a community filled with strong and confident women who I could relate to. These women had dreams just as big as mine and the motivation to do their best to achieve those goals.

Political science is a major that I have a deep hunger for and Barnard offers a great program. Not only does this department drive students and prepare them to face worldwide
