Every student at Cushing has a faculty advisor. Your advisor will help you adjust to Cushing, be your general sounding board and source of information, and always your advocate. He or she will want to know your goals, hopes and expectations, as well as the influences that have most shaped your life. What do you think would be valuable for your advisor to know about you and why?
"I want to be in a place where it is cool to be smart!"
I read this sentence many times, in a school's viewbook, one of those I considered a place to go to. Then, I did not feel satisfied, did not feel enough. I want to be in a place where it is WONDERFUL to be a smart student, a workaholic, a hardly-controling-body dancer, a good citizen, a Vietnamese, where it is challenging enough, where it is wonderful to be ME.
It is my heart singing, my mind feeling excited when I think of studying abroad in such a private boarding school like Cushing Academy. It is my chance, my oppotunity, it is the gate and also the training for me the little girl in order to face the life and to build it. I imagine one day my country and other developing countries are just as wealthy as developed ones, the day when all of us are living in peace and happiness. And I would give my hand to the improvement. I would give my heart, my life. That is the most wonderful dream of mine. That dream would have its start there, in Cushing. I would study and work and experience and devote and do many things else not only for me but also for others. Cushing will help.
My Vietnam was through many wars to have the peaceful, independent, democratic and properous country today. I was born when all the wars were ended, but learning from history let me know what fighting would be. We fought for peace, for indepence. Today what I have to do is to fight for development, no matter with anything else or with myself. I have to be a fighter, for myself, for my country and for this life.
Cushing is the choice, I chose Cushing and hopefully Cushing would choose me. Everything would go well between us, me and the school. I can devote much for the school as I will gain a lot, knowledge and experience. After Cushing it may be Amhert, Williams, or Columbia, or some other colleges, where I will be majored in Goverment Management. Then MBA. Then going back to my dear dear Vietnam. Then build it. All may start there, in Cushing.
