New Immigrant's Personal Statement

Paper Summary:

This paper explains why the applicant, originally a new immigrant is worthy of a college place. It discusses how his "jack-in-a-box' approach to language acquisition and body building has made him a more flexible and open communicator.

From the Paper:

"Going further, my approach to learning a new language, while certainly unconventional in many respects, was nonetheless richly rewarding not only for the way in which it helped me digest the English written word but for the many ways in which it helped me gain a secure grasp of spoken English. In short, by immersing myself in the rapid-fire back-and-forth of the workplace, I learned the conversational "short-hand" that is so vital to learning how to interact with native-born English speakers. Each and every time that I communicated with an impatient customer or with an impatient supervisor, I came a little bit closer to understanding the linguistic and even facial/physical subtleties that allow a newcomer to America to gain mastery of the spoken word.
