When I read my University application form and I stopped in the point where you talked about an essay I had to write and all the possible ways I could choose. It really was difficult to choose just one thing to talk about. There are so many issues I would like to mention, but I would like to share with you, my concern of the image of our country and real state. Anyway I am sure that in both cases I couldn’t left either without mentioning them. As you can see in TV shows and the news head lines in our country, and many times in yours too, Colombia is passing through the most critical moment we had since… Our economic, social and political bases have been affected with the corruption and coldness of the soul in these people involved in those processes.
Our political leaders have been judged for their integrity, and honesty, our people are falling in an unbelievable economic depression, and moral values which used to be so important and respected are now team of debate. However we are still a large percentage of real Colombians. , and I happened to say real, because Colombia and Colombians is just not that small amount of corrupt ors. We are beautiful people, we like to give love and support to our surroundings. We are hard workers and very intelligent people who have been covered with this cloud of disgraces. Why don’t we talk about Pat arroyo, why not talk about Garcia Marquez or the many Colombian business man who don’t only work in huge respectful companies exporting our products, but also many work in American companies with very outstanding positions? I cant understand why they are not mentioned, but I can see why they are where they are, they are Colombians, nice, respectful and hard workers.
I happened to grow in a family where the typical agricultural work was our way of a living. We had big farms and cultivated different crops, such as coffee, and other beans, and I personally miss our old Colombia. Being able to be at our farms working, learning from the people and making a living from a very beautiful country. However as a real Colombian I am here to make of myself one of those outstanding businesswoman. I think that our country has the hope with people like me, the young.
This is the reason I have chosen this University as my fundamental point of start and evolution. I want to show my country and the United States how good we are and can be. Anybody could think I am crazy if I think I can change a countries situation, but that is why we haven’t move from the same place thinking one person doesn’t changes things, but believe me I know it does makes a difference, and for a more lately event I mention Juan Pablo Montoya’s effort, capacity, discipline and results, He, we this is being a Colombian. I know that sharing with the admissions staff my countries actual situation, my point of view and my goals will be an interesting reason to review my application. Furthermore, I hope to have changed your opinion of Colombia, just if it happened to be the common belief. Anyway I want you to know that as a Colombian I will work it out hard with my own being and capacities to develop the best of me with the help of your professional basis to work hard and help give back the hope and will to my compatriots.
I know I couldn’t make a better choice of an outstanding and successful University, I really want to be one of you. Thank you, and may God Bless you and me letting us one.
