    I am currently a senior Political Science major, History minor, with a concentration in International Relations. I am also the chairman of the Howard University NAACP Political Action Committee. I am an academic, I am a student leader, but more importantly, I am a servant. It is my firm belief that the reason I was blessed to be given the opportunity to get a college education is so that I can use this privilege and knowledge to help others. Just recently in December I was fortunate enough to go on a service trip to South Africa with the YAALI program. There we did community service and connected with our brothers and sisters on the continent. This was a very impressionable experience for me, especially because it was my first time leaving…

    Growing up Iranian American, I was greatly impacted by the opinions of my peers early on. Classmates would criticize my lunch or convey evident shock at the fact that I was Muslim, so I grew up feeling patronized for much of my early life. Eventually, I began surrounding myself with others who were also in my shoes, facing the discrimination that came along with being different. Over the years growing up surrounded in a fusion of cultures has made me appreciate the diversity that makes each culture so unique. Growing up traveling the world, learning multiple languages and being encouraged to accept all that cultures have to offer is something that is very beneficial in today’s global society and something that I will bring to SMU’s diverse campus. Should I be fortunate enough to attend SMU I will bring my open mind and worldly perspective to the learning environment and clubs on campus. Within the classroom I’d apply my background in my desire to study conflict within the Middle East and ways to resolve that.…

    The resident advisor position is a unique and powerful position on any campus; but it is particularly appealing to me on Union’s campus. My first real connection with anyone outside of my AOP class, of which I spent a majority of the summer, with was my RA. On a campus so small and compact as Union, an RA is truly an invaluable resource to ask questions of. This is because not only can they answer them directly, but if they are unable to, they possess the resources to turn you to someone who could. My RA became the main point that I referred to for any question, and in the end became a close friend. Therefore, I believe the first appealing aspect about being an RA is the leadership opportunity and the…

    Being given the wonderful opportunity to be a part of a student ambassadors group through the College of Agriculture & Human Resources has allowed me to connect with other students who share the same interest in career choice as me as well has creating new friends and networking. As an ambassador I have been able to better serve my university and really get a better picture of what agriculture has to offer me. When people ask what’s the blue blazers for and I respond with I am an CAHNS Ambassador for my department it feels good and later sharing my major and what I would like to do in the field one day working with the USDA.

    Apart from the Toby Keith Foundation Teen Board and the Junior Rotarian Club, I have volunteered with various other organizations such as the Red Cross, Moore Food and Resource Center and the OCARTA Wellness Hub. I have chosen to dedicate my time to these community service activities because I know that a small effort can go a big way in changing other's lives. Along with community service activities, I have also dedicated my time within my Latino community. I have attended numerous leadership conferences aimed at Hispanic students, including the Hispanic Youth Leadership Conference at the Oklahoma City University and the TREE Conference at the University of Oklahoma. I was also selected to attend the Latinos Without Borders Fall Camp at the University of Oklahoma. Attending all of these events have changed my life, because I have learned how to fight the barriers that plague my community and culture. It is important to me to be involved within my cultural community because I believe in order for a community to prosper, its members have to become aware of the problems within their community and work to better…

    I applied to become a Mock Interview Mentor at the Career Center and was offered the position. With this position, I was able to help students prepare for their interviews and to eventually, land their dream jobs. I received students' cover letters and resumes and tailored specific questions for them, making the interview experience as real as possible. I taught students how to market themselves since interviews are an opportunity to sell yourself to the employer. After our interviews, I noticed that students felt much more confident and appreciated this opportunity offered by the Career Center. Previously, I had another internship with the National Council on Disability at the Republic of Panama in the Public Relations department. I assisted the department with press releases and created a marketing plan, which goal was to include people with disabilities in society. I learned how to work under pressure and how to reach goals with my team. As a member of these organizations and with my internships, I have enhanced my communication skills, my ability to work in teams, and ...(no se que mas poner aqui)…

    Perhaps the most pivotal point of my education has been the diversity I am surrounded with. Attending one of the best high schools in the state has exposed me to vast diversity which challenged my beliefs and led me to mature faster than friends at other schools. For example, in one of my classes, the person on my left is Indian, the person behind me is Jamaican, and the person to my right is Bosnian. Cultural diversity is just the beginning. I am surrounded by some of the most talented people I have ever met who can make provoking art, choreograph beautiful dances, create city-wide magazines, win the Siemen’s competition, and much more. Diversity within education is essential to the growth of students. Being surrounded by people who think, act, and talk like you doesn’t teach students perspective. That is why I am grateful for opportunities like the Porter scholarship which gives talented students an opportunity to get scholarships and contribute to the diversity of the University of…
