    Before addressing why Pitt is a good choice for me, I would like to review why I am a good choice for Pitt. The University of Pittsburgh values their “talented, diverse and high achieving students”, their “safe and healthy campuses”, their unique balance of “fun and camaraderie with internships and other learning opportunities outside the classroom”, and their focus on “developing students into global citizens” (University of Pittsburgh webpage, ‘Prospective Students’).

    Through the diverse, greatness-inspired students and teachers at Claremont McKenna College, I will use its education and community for increasing my understanding of myself and the world. Being at CMC proves one has the determination and highest goals to meet, and being surrounded by people with these qualities will push me to heights I need to meet as well. Making friends with like-minded people wishing to find their own way to really help the world will aid my own search in helping the world, helping the people around me, and understanding myself.

    It was at seven year old when my father left my mother and I to find work in the United States. He proceeded to work day and night for the next five years until he was able to bring our family together again.

The video "i’m latino, but i’m not…" raised my awareness about several stereotypes about Mexicans. Throughout my experiences I have learned, stereotypes can come from the deepest, darkest most ignorant parts of people, so I simply ignore them.…

    As a child of immigrant parents, whom never passed secondary education, I had been told several times by my mother, “I came here so you can have the opportunities I never had.” I never took her words in for consideration.

During my last two years of high school, I realized that she was utterly right.…
