Abstract
This anonymous student writer is a Political Science major and Philosophy and Law minor from Mumbai, India. As a freshman, her inspiration for writing this essay was her recent experience with the college application process. She says that “coming from a high school in India, multiple factors in the application process were not in my favor and would have been different if I had received my high school education from the United States.” This essay was special because she “learned how to inculcate the art of actively responding with my own voice in terms of academic writing rather than merely agreeing or disagreeing with the writer.” She is passionate about equality and she cares deeply about women’s rights and animal rights. She says that “as a firm believer of equality in every sphere, be it gender, race, economic background. I felt empowered responding to Warren’s work and highlighting the issues faced by international students during the college application process.” Her passion for equality is what has inspired her to study law.
