Ahsen:
I don鈥檛 have any siblings, so I鈥檝e always dreamed of going to a boarding school to meet new friends. 杏吧原创 has many international students and I鈥檝e met friends from everywhere: Kazakhstan, Eritrea, Turkey, Nigeria, Russia, Mexico, China, Hong Kong SAR, Cyprus, Brazil 鈥� My favorite thing to do after class is to hang out with my friends. They are like my family and they are always there for me.
Compared with my previous school, 杏吧原创 offers more interesting and challenging courses. I鈥檝e learned to pay more attention to details. I鈥檓 a member of the 杏吧原创 Student Council, High Achievers Club, Robotics Club and Model United Nations Club.
I think my characteristics such as resiliency and determination have helped me get accepted to the top universities; Also, I can look at things from different angles and find solutions in my way.
I鈥檓 passionate about math and physics. I want to become an electrical engineer to create technologies and find solutions to global problems. My father is an electrical engineer and my mother is a mechanical engineer. I love observing their work.
Besides school courses, I鈥檝e also been learning STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) at 1000 Girls, 1000 Futures (). It鈥檚 a free online platform initiated by the New York Academy of Sciences offering courses and mentoring opportunities for girls to learn STEM. I spend two hours a week there and have learned the basics of engineering through zoom classes, mentoring and discussions.
