1) Academic Preparation
The UC seeks to enroll students who take the initiative in pursuing their education, and I am the very person who plans to major in sociology at this university. Initially, it was somewhat hard for me to decide what field I would major, yet thanks to my university professors who introduced me to different areas of study, I understood that sociology is precisely what I would like to be doing till the rest of my days.
My experience in sociology would start in high school where I would organize a high school club called “international unity” that would deal with volunteer work in our communities. Although volunteering at different places, I liked my church volunteering experience where I had the superb opportunity to help other people in need of necessities of living. I was able to meet new people and make new friends who as I realize now would always provide me with new experiences, ideas, and things that I could improve.
From my volunteering experienced I gained a lot of patience and tolerance as well as I managed to overcome some stereotypes related to culture, race, poverty, and success in life. This experience, in my opinion, will undoubtedly make me the right candidate for a university majoring in sociology.
