Why I Want To Go To Manhattan University

It feels like everyday I meet people who ask me what college I want to attend. I give them the usual list of colleges I wish to apply to, but when Hofstra University comes up, people ask me, “why do you want to apply to Hofstra University?” I say there are infinite reasons why I wish to go to Hofstra. The number one reason being that it is really close to home. Hofstra is an excellent school - one of the best schools in New York. Hofstra has over a 100 distinct majors and minors to choose from ranging from Biology to Engineering to American Studies. I plan to major in Biology, and Hofstra is the best for my major because it has resources to offer its students giving them hands on experiences. Being an AP student, I love to take arduous classes

I have fallen in love with UNCW after first-hand seeing it for myself last summer. I know a lot of alumni from UNCW and have heard nothing but positive things about the school, teachers, and its courses. I am interested in majoring marketing or business and UNCW excels in both of these areas for me. In addition, it provides many courses that assist me in meeting my goals for my career. I would love to attend UNCW because it is close to my hometown but also far enough to where I can be an independent. Not only do I believe the University of North Carolina Wilmington is the right fit for me and my future career but also has every aspect that I am looking for in a college. It has the perfect location, the perfect size, very affordable, and the

The article helped me to understand that multicultural counseling plays a major part in the understanding of the client. Understanding my own biases regarding multiculturalism based upon my own racial group and identity will fundamentally impact my counseling approach. My Way of Being with the client in the counseling session will be directly affect by my ability to understand his or her cultural differences.

Multiculturalism in education is an essential element in shaping America’s increasingly diverse society by reducing racism. This research takes a look at the relationship between multiculturalism and how educating the youth would cure racism. Multiculturalism is the view that cultural differences should be respected or even encouraged. The concept of multiculturalism reduces racism in our society because it forces people to communicate and understand individuals’ cultures that are different from theirs. Multiculturalism is very important in our Society. It helps us look at other cultures

As a member of several clubs and organizations, I have always valued the wide range of people you can find within the walls of my high school. If you walk into my Physics lab, you will find me collaborating with a dancer strongly involved in his cultural heritage and a volleyball player in the engineering academy. If you come to my Calculus class, you will see me calculating derivatives with a football player, a snowboarder, a National Honor Society officer, and a painter. The word “diversity” is often used to describe a cross-cultural population, but it is so much more than that. At Bartlett High School, students originate from hundreds of different cultures, with an abundance interests, and participate together in an assortment of activities.

I wish to attend NYU because it has a great diverse and thriving environment that perfectly fosters my educational interests - that is, the liberal studies core program offered at NYU. Not only that, but the NYC campus is located in such a bustling and lively city that supports the kind of education that I seek at a university.

I laid my eyes on the shiny Longhorn’s Golden Ticket that I pulled out of the University of Texas at Austin envelope I received in the mail. In an archaic font, the letter read “Greetings to you, the lucky finder of this golden ticket. From the University of Texas at Austin! . . . This magical ticket will take you wherever you want to go–past, present, or future. Close your eyes, hold the ticket, and think about where you want to go. In your wildest dreams, you could not imagine the marvelous surprises that await you!”

The purpose of public school education is to provide students with the skills necessary to continue to higher education, and to help them pursue their goals and dreams in life. It is meant to provide inspiring, positive, and culturally affirming experiences that make students excited to learn and succeed. While many students are prepared properly in public schools, this is not true for all. For several students, education is neither stimulating nor engaging. Recognizing that there are flaws in the public school system in terms of cultural affirmation is the first step to making positive changes in the system. An inclusive and diverse public education is crucial to provide all people the tools for success, and to control their own fate. Unfortunately, due to some schools’ inability to incorporate a multicultural curriculum, many times only students of the dominant culture are given a full and comprehensive education, while students of subdominant cultures and different backgrounds are left behind. This sets them back significantly, making it harder for them to compete in this society, no matter how hard they work. It is impossible for a single person to make the significant changes necessary to the institution of public education; it requires the collaboration of government officials, administrators, teachers, parents, and students to create a curriculum that is multicultural and recognizes the diversity in American society. Awareness of peoples’ differences and the desire to

The societal perception of diverse cultures is commonly misinterpreted to the minority populace that is predominately present due to the propinquity (Desmond & Emirbayer 2016). Outside of propinquity, college campuses are the focal point of bridging the gap between racial segregation and discriminating ideations, as the student populace should be composed of educated individuals (Desmond & Emirbayer 2016). From a personal perspective, college campuses ideally possess an array of culturally diverse individuals attempting to expand and share their mental capacities; hence, increasing cultural awareness (Desmond & Emirbayer 2016). Racial and Ethnic occupations should possess the ability to express their cultural identity impartial for fear of

For, seemingly, my entire life I have been undeniably different. My appearance always leaves people guessing, “What is she,” or, “Where did she come from?” As a person of a multicultural background, those two questions are the never ending soundtrack to my life. However, growing up in a small city, where everything is written in black and white, allows myself and others just like me to add some color. Being that I am surrounded by people with an intolerance of diversity, I made it my duty to always be accepting of other despite their differences. By possessing the character trait of acceptance I can easily enjoy interacting with people of different backgrounds through the High School Diplomats Program (HSD).

According to Benjamin Franklin, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Benjamin Franklin, a scientist, printer, inventor, author, political theorist, civic activist, and diplomat, facilitated the University of Pennsylvania. He portrays an extraordinary, yet extremely well rounded individual; these characteristics make up the foundations of the University of Pennsylvania, an exemplary university that will allow me to explore my intellectual and academic passions. By attending the University of Pennsylvania, I can expand my knowledge and fulfill my aspirations.

I believe it is important for me to be a part of an environment where I can learn and appreciate the many ethnic groups this country offers. Learning in a setting that nurtures diversity can enhance students’ experiences in classrooms. Although every student can contribute to classes and activities by bringing in different perspectives, students of various backgrounds can break us out of our homogeneous ways of thinking. In addition to being around a group of diverse people, I will be able to contribute by bringing in my experiences as a first generation immigrant from South Korea. I can share the hardships my parents encountered while settling down in a country where none of our family members lived. I also believe I can help bring diversity among other Asian students because I believe I

The United States serves as a culturally rich country who opens its arms to individuals from many different ethnicities, backgrounds, and life experiences. It seeks to be the melting pot of a blended group of people, providing opportunity and equity for all. Consequently, our educational system is the cornerstone for providing equal opportunity for all persons. Therefore, as the United States continues to be immersed with individuals from various cultures, the educational system must consistently seek to assure that educational opportunities are equally distributed to our students. In order for this task to be accomplished, developing a well-defined illustration of what multicultural education is necessary.

The three things that have made the biggest impact on and have influenced my life that shaped me into the person I am today are family background, experiences from my school year, and religious beliefs. Our culture provides a lens through which we view the world and interpret our everyday experiences. In order to know who I am today, I must look at who you’ve been. Many educators around the country are interested in developing a multicultural approach in their teaching. They find themselves in classrooms with 25 children of varying racial and cultural backgrounds, and are looking for ways to connect what they do in the classroom to the cultures represented by their students. Before we can begin to understand others, however, we need to understand ourselves and what we bring to our interactions with others.

“We need to help students and parents cherish and preserve the ethnic and cultural diversity that nourishes and strengthens this community and this nation” (Cesar Chavez). Students develop an image based on factors, such as parental teachings, influences by peers, education, and much more. As this world progresses into the future, we should make sure that our actions help with strengthening the diversity among us. How can people benefit from diversity? Diversity provides exposure to others’ cultures, which helps us grasp more knowledge about the world we all live in. Students would be able to befriend other students from diverse backgrounds. The vision for diversity in schools should include the reasoning for diversity, the purpose and benefits, and the understanding of several types of diversity.
