Inkblot 2019 Summer

The WAB Class of 2018 (including myself) will be
graduating very soon! I decided to interview a few
members of the WAB Class of 2018 and asked them about
their university admission process, what they look
forward to after they graduate, and what they will miss

“Growing up, I really disliked studying inside the boundaries
of a classroom and simply sitting in front of a computer
and staring at the screen for hours. I’ve always preferred
interacting with and talking to people. The hospitality
industry will allow me to stand up and socialize with people
from all around the world, and it will allow me to do what
I love, which is listening to and caring for other people. I
love to make others smile. EHL is the world’s most renowned
university in terms of hospitality, partly because its
curriculum allows students to do hands-on work. I’m really
excited about living in a new continent that I haven’t been
to many times before, and I want to challenge myself to take
risks and connect with new people. I also can’t wait to try
new food!”
Brown University (US)

“The most challenging part about applying to Brown was
coming up with ideas for my college essays. The initial stage
of thinking about the essays was the hardest part. It became
a lot easier when I actually started writing, and I actually
began to discover things about myself that I didn’t know
before. I think the college application process is about more
than just getting into a school, because it’s also about selfgrowth.
For example, I learned a lot about myself when I was
figuring out why Brown is the best fit for me. I want to study
a wide range of subjects, including art history, economics,
and modern culture and media. Brown’s curriculum will
allow me to study interdisciplinary topics, and it will give
me the support I need to succeed – similar to the support I’ve
gotten from teachers and staff at WAB, who have helped me
realize what I want to do. I’ve been at WAB for ten years, so
to me, WAB is a second home. I’ll miss the people WAB has
allowed me to meet, and I can’t wait to meet more people like
them at Brown.”
