Every time when I walk through a hotel, I would stay and gaze at the gorgeous architecture and professional service. Later, as I got to know the prices of consumption items, I felt greatly astonished and wondered why these hotels could beckon so many customers with such high prices. My great curiosity and passion in this industry promoted me to further explore hotel management in graduate study..
Growing up in New York City for my entire life, I realize in what a rich and engaging city Columbia is located. While I want to remain in an urban environment, I also want to attend a college that is small and will allow me to take advantage of individual and intimate attention placed on its students, supportive faculty, and a large array of academic opportunities. Columbia College offers this ambiance for me, and I believe that its mission to refine its students’ analytic and imaginative thinking is inspiring and will be beneficial to my education...

As a novice writer who sometimes resorts to writing entire paragraphs worth of inspiration on her arms because I don’t happen to have paper on me, I sometimes feel as if I’m scouring the world without a roadmap. There are so many aspects to writing fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and essays that sometimes I feel overwhelmed. So the day that I walked into Barnes and Noble and stumbled upon “The Writer” magazine, I was absolutely transfixed...

My first day of AP Chemistry was incredibly foreboding, mainly because it was probably the most challenging class in our high school. I registered for the class because I performed well in Chemistry during my sophomore year, and I figured that this course would be a wonderful way to challenge myself a step further. However, I was then fully convinced that I had made a huge mistake and that I would soon know the feeling of receiving a failing grade...

When it comes to music, I think your ears are more honest than your eyes. I remember one of the first things drilled into my head when I was learning the piano were the little rhymes meant to help me memorize how to read sheet music. I never had any problems with this. A musician needs to know how to read music just like we need to be able to read our own language...

Through the grungy subway windows with provocative graffiti scratched into the glass like cracks against ice, the monotonous, dirty, and pest-ridden tunnels end to finally behold the monochrome rooftops of my comfortable suburb. The quaint, almost stubby buildings scratch against a sky that is already dark blue at four in the afternoon as the train rumbles along and causes the scene to unfold before me like a movie reel...
