When I was nine, my parents divorced and my dad moved back to his hometown. When I was 11, my mom moved my family out of our hometown to Frederick, Maryland.

Home school had proven to be a waste of my time. I found out about Job Corps through a couple of friends who had attended the school. I decided to go to the Brunswick Job Corps. I spent 10 months there. I would like to say that I used all that time wisely, Of course not.

Aria Sabour – USC GSCM Personal Statement 1. Describe yourself personally and professionally in 250 words or less. My personal and professional lives are undoubtedly interwoven, and have been affected by my independent emigration from my native Iran at the age of 17. I knew that my desire to pursue higher education would be better fulfilled abroad, so, with the support of my parents, I decided to move to France. After I gained a degree in French language there, I moved to Los Angeles with my eyes set firmly on graduate school. The linguistic, cultural, and financial difficulties I faced during these times have played a significant role in teaching me about independence, perseverance, and resilience. Additionally, my diverse exposure to three very different cultures and languages has allowed me to become more accepting of others who are dissimilar from me, and has made better capable at communicating effectively.

Although we received government assistance, it never seemed to be enough. My father worked

My parents came to the U.S. with nothing but the money in their pockets. We lived with my three aunts for a year, until my father could figure what to do. He decided to start a convenience store to try to provide for his family. He was not making as much as he was in Korea, but he had to make do with what he had. Due to this lack of income, I had to attend four different elementary schools: one in Korea, two in Baltimore County, and one in Howard County.

My parents are Hmong refugees that immigrated to the United States after the Vietnam War in the 1970s in search of a better life. In their eyes, America is the land of the free and where dreams can become reality. In Laos, my parents lived an agrarian lifestyle with very little education. Despite their lack of education, they realized that education held the key to success. Throughout my life, my parents emphasized the importance of education and did their best to guide my siblings and me. This was not an easy task for my parents because of the cultural adjustment that they experienced, but they managed to instill in me invaluable character qualities such as patience, perseverance, hard work, sacrifice and courage.

When I moved to this city I didn't think that I would be popular or the All-Star Quarterback for my school. We had to move here because of my dad's “business opportunity” that would give our family a lot more money. We were always struggling with money, that’s mostly why

Perspective: Multicultural Student in a Multicultural World Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. - Helen Keller Helen Keller’s words resonate deeply with my experience abroad. Do or do not, those were my options, and I chose to do as much as possible. The result becoming one of the most inspiring experiences of my life, despite my having to say my experiences were from a slightly different perspective from the norm, as this was not my first foray into European Culture. Hailing from a culturally diverse family where my mother is Dutch and father is German, I have had many unique opportunities to experience the world. Therefore, any traumatic culture shock upon my entry in Europe as well as upon re-entry in the U.S. factored very little into my study abroad experience. Nevertheless, Europe left its mark in the way that I miss certain daily occurrences that I experienced while I hold no affection towards other things that are commonplace in Europe. Furthermore, there were things that I missed from home that influenced my emotional state upon my return. Altogether, my re-entry into the U.S. has been an interesting, if not wild, experience.

I really appreciated that you give me this opportunity to be a Global Mentor. As an international student, the empathy for others who get in touch with a new place and culture motivates me to help them get used to the new lifestyle, and overcome any problem they will face. In addition, the experiences in participating diverse conferences and communities on campus also make me interested in this program.

Shalom, We are celebrating Tishrai's holidays these days. Last week we celebrated the New Hebrew Year, which began with aromas of new beginnings. For me it means the master's degree, which I'll begin after the holidays. It is a wonderful period for me in which I am fulfilling myself and getting closer to the goals I have placed for myself. I feel great pride and lots of sympathy from those around me, as well as great support. For others it would only mean another degree, but for me coming from where I come from, it means a victory. Many people share this victory; starting from my parents and family, and including you the sponsors, whose sponsorship is a source of support and faith in me. I would like to thank you again for this from the bottom

Hi,Suhai. I'm Yiwen, I really like your essay and I have the same feeling about left our family and live a life alone in a different country. Hope we can adapted the university life in ASU. And here are my personal feeling and responses.

I study in University of Washington and I am from Malaysia, a multicultural country. Over the past four years of being away from home, I have grown and improved a lot. Coming from a multicultural country, I am fluent in English, Malay, Mandarin, and Cantonese and I can be a linguistic to overcome the language barrier in the University of California – Santa Barbara (UCSB)’s community. My knowledge of different cultures and religions will promote mutual understanding in the community. I can adapt into new environment smoothly and I can help others to blend into new environment as well. Therefore, I learn empathy and understand people from their perspectives. My experience in helping my brother to battle with depression further instills empathy in me. Thus, I can be a cultural navigator to help people to see in others perspective and a good listener. Therefore, based on my cultural background and life experiences, I will increase productivity, promote mutual understanding, foster good mental development within the UCSB community.
