The Endless Summer

small town Georgia, there is not much to do in the blazing summer heat. My days this past summer (before I-Day of course) consisted of listening to Zac Brown Band and watching my beloved Atlanta Braves. Listening to music and watching baseball are sources of stress relief for me; the two media outlets take my mind off of hardships in my life. Coming to the Naval Academy was a big change for me, and I felt a little blindsided by the endless rules I was required to follow. I had no idea that freshman

The pursuit of Scientific Vitality is one that can only be characterized by the innate quality of human curiosity. Ranging from the azure color of the sky to the sounds of firetrucks, the moment we enter this world, our mind is constantly flooded with information, many of which we do not fully understand. I had always accredited myself of my curious nature. Even a simple trip to Costco presented to me an opportunity to question close to everything in existence. What made 4K televisions so mesmerizing

Throughout generation Z, I realize within the world how attached humans get to other humans. But personally, I believe in starting over. I believe that change is certainly a good thing. I believe that letting go is beneficial. However, I believe that moving on does not mean forgetting. Its far too often that people fall victim to things that are tearing us into pieces. Wheather it is a coping method; since often situations leave us so shattered, we as humans find it a hell of a lot easier to sweep

and most of those teenagers refuse to believe it. I wasn’t any different. Austin Wilder had been on my mind since fifth grade. Austin only ever saw me as a friend until the summer before senior year. Austin invited me to snuggle up to him at a movie night. As a teenage girl looking for love, I said yes. After a few endless nights of texting, talking on the phone, and snapchatting each other we admitted our mutual attraction. After a fun and simple two months of just being flirty friends, Austin

ration and labs that undergraduate students can fully use (not just graduate students like other colleges). Harvey Mudd is known for its intense, rigorous course. I have even heard that the college students throw away their pillows since they spend endless hours, minutes, and seconds trying to finish. I am a hardworking student who likes to take on challenges. The curriculum and professors at Harvey Mudd will challenge me to push beyond my limits and push me beyond what I am comfortable with. With this

Nabeeha Hasan Sugar Land Texas, USA Personal Statement I want to participate in the Oxbridge Summer Seminar because it’s a new experience. I am a person that’s all about new experiences. From sampling squid-ink dyed paella in Madrid to trying my hand at falconry in the deserts of the UAE to riding elephants in the jungles of Chiang Mai, I am always ready for the unconventional. Being a regular traveler and having lived in countries on opposite sides of the globe, I not only have experiences in these

baseball and the occasional pick-up game of football and basketball, which all surprisingly came easily to me, but it wasn’t until the summer before freshman year that I truly found the most challenging and rewarding sport. This sport was like no other. It required more than just hand-eye coordination and speed. This sport required thinking, patience and endless practice, something a successful Penn State student also needs. Because golf challenged me more than any other activity, I had to work twice

Whether it be through my summer job as a camp counselor or by simply listening to a friend in need of some advice, I actively seek out ways to enhance people’s happiness around me. Due to this, I wish to pursue a career in psychology education where I hope to one day become a guidance

Growing up I have developed interests and abilities that continue to provide me endless satisfaction and joy: literature, creative writing, friends, and art. These things are my foundation, my fun and my life. Ceramics is one of my true passions. It began when I was very young and continued through a 5-week summer program at Choate in 2016, and now at Fay as my favored art class. At Choate, I advanced significantly in ceramics, learning and developing new clay and glazing techniques. One of the methods
