UPenn Supplemental Essay: How will you explore the community at Penn? | Valerie

How will you explore the community at Penn? Consider how this community will help shape your perspective and identity, and how your identity and perspective will help shape this community.

Hi there! Welcome to a day in my life at Penn. I start off the day at practice with the Pan-Asian Dance Troupe. Today I’m leading the practice, incorporating a twist on modern dance inspired by my experience with Chinese folk dance.

While most people are wandering around campus for lunch, I’ll be interviewing students for a new article I’m writing for the Daily Pennsylvanian covering the newest guest lecture at the Institute of Contemporary Art, combining my love of art and my experience in journalism.

For an afternoon workout, join me in rock climbing at the Pottruck Health & Fitness Center. Your arms will most definitely be sore afterwards, but I always encourage my friends to challenge themselves and do something different- who knows, you may have just discovered your new favorite hobby!

It’s finally dinner and I’m showing some friends from the Penn Gastronomy Club a new Asian Fusion restaurant that just opened up downtown, a perfect place to share my love of food and trying new things. I can’t stay too long though, because rehearsals for our latest production at the Front Row Theatre Company are starting. Thanks for coming along!
