Short Essay #1

Hi Efrata, you've knocked down the prompt while delivering a powerful message in such a beautiful manner. As another fellow international student, I resonated with your story a lot. Coming to college, everything felt like it was pushing my boundaries and I was becoming someone I didn't fully recognize. Change kept barging into my door and while I wasn't sure if I wanted to let them in, it made its way through anyway. Embracing it and not being too conscious and rigid about becoming a different person has made my college experience much more fluid. I felt a sense of comfort in knowing that this is a shared experience so thank you for that!
