The following is an essay that I wrote as apart of my Yale Application. The prompt was to describe why the areas of study I chose appealed to me.
Areas of Study: English, Psychology, Sociology
I've always known in my heart that I am a writer. One that is capable of bringing people together through stories and in order to be effective in telling those stories, it is vital that I understand how people feel, how they think, and how they live. With that understanding, I can better empathize with people and create pathways for communication, which is something we a society are in desperate need of. I aspire to be the kind of writer that tells the stories no one else can so that I had help create the important conversations that are yet to be had.
