My Visit To Tulane

New Orleans is known for being a culturally rich city; from its food to its music to its celebrations it is full of spirit and unique traditions. It is not hard to pick up on this, it is what you hear across the country when someone mentions New Orleans, it is what the New Orleans tourism board features in all its material, it part of how institutions such as Tulane market themselves. Everyone may know about jazz music and second lines but many of us visitors to the city lack knowledge about their historical, political, and social/cultural context. A crucial element of New Orleans culture and history that provides a lot of this context, that every visitor should take the time educate themselves about, is social aid and pleasure clubs and benevolent

My experience began as early as college, when I used to volunteer with school going children in orphanages, and would advise them on the social problems they faced in school. That is when I decided that being a school counselor was the “perfect” job for me. Having started at an early age, I find that my expertise does in fact lie in helping students deal with social pressure, and helping them cope with the stress and frustration it brings. I have also been successfully able to help students improve their self-esteem by making them focus on past successes, so that they may be able to garner the strength for future aspirations. I don 't think age has any role to play when it comes to warming up to students. As long as they can find a mentor, a guide and trust in someone, they are likely to open up to them.

A couple months back I met with a Tulane Admissions representative who first sparked my interest in the college. She opened my eyes, and made me ponder the reality that I could actually see myself as part of the school. Compared to the other schools that were also being represented (NYU, University of Miami, Georgia Tech, and the George Washington University), Tulane grab my interests the most. Before attending the information session about the colleges, I can honestly say I had never heard of Tulane. However, the representative did such an amazing job informing us about the

New Orleans is an American city known for being very different from the rest of America. The differences vary in food, attitude, location, and atmosphere. These differences make New Orleans a unique part of America, and they have survived through many cases of adversity such as white supremacy, Hurricane Katrina, and many others. If events like these occurred in any other city across America, it would have caused mass diaspora and eventually the collapse of the city into something unrecognizable. New Orleans is a different story. New Orleans has resisted much of the change that has taken hold of the rest of the country. They have traditions that have been passed down and an attitude that is only at home in New Orleans.

What primarily provoked me was the ambivalent situation in New Orleans. Even before I came to Tulane, while looking around several places in New Orleans with my mother, I found that there is a huge discrepancy between the areas. Although some areas, such as the downtown near French quarter or the residence area of so-called ‘rich’ people, were seemed to be very developed and well-organized, on the other hand, other areas in the city were somewhat destroyed, aged, and even smelled

New Orleans known for its arts, entertainment, recreation, and food service is known for several historic and celebratory events including the Mardi Gras, the New Orleans Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival all accustomed to large numbers of visitors was hit hard by the effects of Katrina. Port Operations: These operations mining, transportation, and warehousing even though not as visible as tourism still held an important place in the scheme of New Orleans economy. For example, the Port of New Orleans carried out most bulk tonnage in the world. Educational Services; Several institutions of higher learning called New Orleans home including the Universities of New Orleans, Tulane, Loyola, Xavier, Southern, Dillard, and the Louisiana State University Medical School. These schools has educated numerous students including many from the African-American communities (Dolfman, Wasser, & Bergman,

Being raised in a small town, I’ve always adored New Orleans. I find myself captivated by the scene, restaurants, festivals, and general vibe of the location. Being at Tulane would offer me easy access to a city I’ve already fallen in love with, all the while not taking me too far away from home.

My interest in Tulane started after a conversation I had with one of my philosophy professors. I had indicated to him that I was interested in pursuing philosophy in college and he asked me which university I was most interested in. Unfamiliar of the strength any university's philosophy program, my professor told me that I should consider Tulane. I was told at a considerable length that high achieving philosophers had pursued their bachelor’s there and I couldn’t go awry in attending such a program. After a bit of research, I would actually go awry in pursuing philosophy at any other university.

New Orleans is a city that has always been immensely fascinating to me. I love that every street corner is teeming with culture and excitement. I have been visiting New Orleans ever since I was a young child and I love it. The energy of the city is so uplifting and inspiring. Earlier this year when I first learned about Tulane, I was ecstatic and couldn’t wait to apply. My hometown of Austin, Texas is also a city filled to the brim with life and culture, but it is so different from New Orleans. Attending Tulane would be a major challenge for me but one that I would be extremely willing to take on. I would be exposed to so many new things and would be forced to step out of my comfort zone. It would be a thrilling opportunity to live in such a unique city during a time when I am exploring who I am. I particularly love how Tulane incorporates the local culture into school activities. The crawfish boils and Mardi Gras traditions are things that I have not been exposed to in Texas, and I would be excited to experience them at Tulane.

Attending Louisiana State University would be an honor, considering it would allow me to achieve my goals of becoming a family lawyer. Being present to college will determine where I will end up in life. At LSU I would be in an outstanding position to attend law school after I obtained my bachelors degree in the sociology major. However, it would also be an excellent opportunity for me to adjust in a large city. In addition, Louisiana State University is only three hours away from home ,and so I wouldn’t be that far away just in case of an emergency. Being that LSU has an exceptional graduation rate , I understand that I would have a better chance at success.

When you first walk in and you look to your left, you will see a couch (or sofa) and if you look to your

New Orleans is a beautiful place full of fun surprises. It's a great place for a vacation expressly for family vacations, with everything someone could want like restaurants, amusement parks, rich cultures and all around great experiences. The early jazz music fills the town at night along with bright colorful lights making the experience one to

“Non Sibi Sed Suis” or “Not for oneself, but for one's own.” Tulane’s motto is not about education, but about serving the world by using your knowledge and being selfless. Success is measured by the impact you have had, not by personal gain. I believe that I shouldn’t be selfish and only care about how things benefit me. I should be concerned about others because there are 7 billion people on this Earth and each one of them deserves to have someone that can look out for them.

The City of New Orleans is a remarkable city and has enormous potential for expansion.

Freshman Year: Just arriving, visualizing the environment of Princeton. The feeling of having the opportunity to be at Princeton excites me. I walk towards the freshman orientation, I feel nervous. It is my first day at Princeton University and I just received my schedule! I am amazed at the courses Princeton offers and while choosing my courses, I meet my first friend name Johanna. She was a skinny, blond girl from the south with a lot of books in her hand and wore glasses.” She has an amazing personality” I thought to myself while speaking to her. After talking for a while, I suggest we go to a diner called Princetonian Diner. After eating, I waved goodbye to her and went off to find my dorm room. I see I have dorm 101, I feel excited knowing I found my first friend Johanna and hope to continue my day with more great news. While inside my dorm room, unpacking and getting settled, I hear the door open. I turn around and see a guy with glasses, a red shirt, black hair, blue jeans, and a pair of van shoes. We both introduced ourselves. I asked what his name was. He responded,“My name is Hiro Princeton, but usually everyone calls me Kabuki.” We both laugh hysterically. He says,“I know, my last name gets a lot of recognition.” I responded in a generous laugh and helped him unpacked. We talked for 5-10 minutes to get to know each other. I found out he is an international student from Japan. I asked him on the meaning of his nickname “Kabuki”. He told me when he was a child, he
