I am a Junior at ○○ University majoring in Political Science and Economics. I lived in the United States for 11 years. I lived in a small town, where the Asian population was only 1% of the entire population.
I joined an outdoors club after entering college, where go hiking and biking from one day to two weeks at the longest. This outdoors activity is the one thing that I have put all my time and effort into during these three years of being a college student. Hiking and Biking is not only about the beautiful scenery and getting in shape, but this activity makes one have better communication and leadership skills.
When I plan a hiking trip, I make sure everyone participates in the conversation and that no one feels left out. A leader has to be able to observe her surroundings and act out in the best way possible. If one of the member looks as though he or she is tired and can not move, I will redistribute the things inside of the bag to make the bag a little bit lighter. Another time, when the bottom of the shoe fell off of one of the hiker, I thought of the best way to try to enact the bottom to the shoe by tying it all together with a shoelace. A leader has to be observant and communicate with others to see what it is that the others actually need. Being in an outdoors club has taught me to be a better leader.
In college, I am writing my thesis paper on the Greece Recession and it’s impact on the citizens. I started doing research on the Great Recession because I was interested in the Euro and its limits. Right now I am searching whether if the recession did really have an impact on the citizens, and if it did by how much it affected them. The next research I want to do is why Germany and the other surrounding countries helped Greece with the bailout plan. Also, I would have to do the research on how much if affected the neighboring countries and by how much.
