Story central to identity
“ Mianhaeyo, naneun mulayo.” I said.
My friend looks at me confused. I think she did not hear me and I repeated it again.
“Me lo siento. Yo no sé.”
My friend still stared at me blankly. Is she having hearing problems? I thought.
“What language are you speaking?” She asked me. “ I do not understand what you just said.”
The realization of what I just did hit me in an instant. Was I really not speaking English? I guess it...
Supplemental Essay “Why us” school essay
598 Words
I have not had the opportunity to visit Pennsylvania, let alone the University of Pennsylvania. Coincidentally ( or maybe due to the ACT), the only information that I have about your university is from the beautifully designed pamphlets that I get in the mail ( that my postal carrier has grudgingly put it in my PO Box). Looking at the picturesque campus on laminated card stock is sadly as close to UPenn as I have gotten. I remember that I felt intrigued...

Uchicago's Untranslatable Word:
In English, “Daehanminguk” (대한민국) means Republic of Korea, but in Korean, it has a deeper meaning, one that encompasses the soul of the entire country.

“Peace is not unity in similarity but unity in diversity, in the comparison and conciliation of differences.” June 5, 1991 Nobel Lecture given by Novel Peace Prize winner Mikhail Gorbachev
"Juliana, how do you pronounce his name again? Kim Jon...?" Asked Dr. Erickson.
Instantly, thirty pairs of inquisitive eyes turned to me, waiting. I sighed, used to these types of questions, and answered 'Kim Jong-un'. She thanked me and continued her discussion on satire. Ten minutes later, she forgot and asked me...

Penn Huntsman Essay:
North East Asia: The Battle of the Economic Dragons
I could hear the protesters walking out of the Seoul subway station. Rounding the corner, I saw the familiar spread of flyers claiming South Korea’s ownership of the Dokdo Islands, or, to the Japanese, the Takeshima Islands. I felt puzzled, as I had witnessed these same protests a year prior. Upon my return to the United States, I began to research the Dokdo controversy and its importance....

I started my personal statement in September, originally using it for a scholarship application. I did not write about any particular subject, and just emptied my heart about what I know and love! For editing, I had an admissions counselor check it once and that was it. It was my voice. For supplements, I reused many of them for different schools and scholarships. My " Why Penn" essay was largely my why Uchicago essay. My Penn Huntsman supplement expanded on my...
