On this study abroad trip, I believe being in a hands on learning environment that I will get the best information I can about management.

    This summer, my family and I traveled to Berlin, Germany to learn about my Jewish great grandparents’ experience during the Holocaust. After visiting the Topography of Terror, I have become interested in understanding how the Nazis could turn a democracy into a dictatorship. This trip made me question not only government’s actions of the past, but also my government’s actions today. It has made me look at the U.S. 2016 election differently. Most of all, my trip made me want to learn more about Europe in the 20th century.…

    WHY I WANT TO JOIN THE HONORS PROGRAM Alighting from a Boeing 747 jetliner on the JFK tarmac on Thursday evening, April 28, 2016, I walked into what could be called a new page in my life story—a new start. That was my first time on this side of the hemisphere. With little money, zero friends, one close relative and little to hold on to, I found myself leaning on only a thread of asset – my mind. Knowing this, I vowed to keep this God given asset alive and growing with all my soul and might, and what better way to do this than to identify with people of like passion, people who will add to me.…

    My Low IES: A Testament to my Nineteen Years As a person who has consistently said over my life that I have never left the East Coast of the United States, I cannot say that I was shocked when I received an overall low IES. I have always wanted to become a world traveler, but due to financial reasons this has been a rather difficult goal to accomplish. Coupled with living in a community which is not really diverse and going to a university which is also regarded as not being very diverse it would be difficult to call myself a multicultural person. I do hope to work through my adult life to address this issue and change myself for the better.…
