College Admission Statement

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the college admission statement of purpose is a declaration of the author's experiences, events and people who have shaped her life. Having grown up between these two distinct places on both sides of the Rio Grande, the author described having been exposed to the unique cultural and financial systems of Brownsville, a growing city of immigrants, and Mexico, a third world country. The paper underscores the influence of the author's grandfather who grew up on both sides of the border with family and relatives on each side.

From the Paper:

"I'm originally from Brownsville, Texas. Though vibrant in culture and character, it is one of the poorest cities in the country. It is comprised of about 99% Latin Americans, most the descendants of Mexican immigrants. Just like the borders that divide the US and Mexico, so too are there walls of separation between two groups of people inhabiting Brownsville. Those who have settled and acclimated seem to prosper and those who have recently immigrated seem to struggle."
