Statement Of Purpose
In my two years in College Park, I have seen many things. My development as a leader has been one of the starkest contrasts to the person I am now compared to the person that I was. Growing up in Boston, and coming to Maryland has definitely been a change of pace compared to what I was used to. I went from being surrounded by a city to being surrounded by one of the largest college campuses in the country. I’d always grown up playing sports and played both baseball and golf in high school, university was going to be my opportunity to start exploring new things. Since joining scholars I’ve become increasingly interested in politics and the Criminal Justice system. During my first semester on campus, our introductory scholars policy course opened the doors to me to dive deep into these issues. I was so excited at the opportunity and it helped lead me to trying to double major in both fields. Moving forward I want to get out in the field and into the city of Washington D.C. There’s such tremendous opportunity with the greatest city in the world close by, and I hope to use my experiences in scholars and my University to work nearby.
