University of Washington

Paper Summary:

This paper is the author's personal feelings on why he should be accepted into the University of Washington, Seattle. It discusses how he feels suited to the particular courses offered there as well as to life in Seattle itself.

From the Paper:

"In part, I feel that it is the differing cultures in these areas that have led me to make the decision to move from New York. I find that the Seattle area has a more open and tolerant culture than the area in which I currently live. This openness and tolerance is important to me. As a gay man I have experienced a great deal of intolerance, particularly when I chose to reveal my lifestyle to my family, friends, and others around me. This coming out taught me a great deal about myself--and about the culture in which I live--as I dealt with the intolerance that I then faced on a daily basis. "
