I also like to play games, read webtoons and learn languages. Spending time with family is also one of my top priorities. Its emphasis on class participation to encourage students to voice their opinions or queries allows for more engaging seminars, and ensures that we are able clarify any doubts. The confidence they displayed during their presentations, as well as their ability to articulate their thoughts, were big factors in influencing my decision to join SMU.
Moreover, with SMU being strategically located in the city, I have more time to spend on doing things that I enjoy. I was involved in the planning and organising of many projects such as collection drives to raise funds for different beneficiaries.
This piqued my interest in community service and I enjoy giving back to society and participating in community events. I love music, and play the piano for leisure. I also spend my free time baking and cooking for my family, whipping up something new from time to time. While the location and interactive pedagogy are definitely pluses, I am most looking forward to the flexible schedule and opportunity for internships.
The internship programme also ensures that I will gain first-hand experience and apply what I learn in a real world setting, which is something I have always enjoyed doing throughout my years of education. As someone who also had an affinity for visual arts, I had taken charge of many art-related roles during school events. Other than picking up a multitude of hands-on skills such as crocheting, I recently chose to venture into unfamiliar territory, such as programming, which caught my interest with its problem-solving nature.
I enjoy drawing on various forms of media including traditional and digital, and have spent a lot of time exploring different hobbies from playing musical instruments to learning crafts such as resin casting and crocheting. I also enjoy computer games and the occasional outdoor sport like cycling. When considering the offer from SMU, a major decisive factor was its interactive teaching pedagogy.
And of course the city campus is another upside to choosing SMU. I have always had an immense passion for water polo, and I have been training in the sport for the past ten years.
As a member of the Singapore Water Polo Team, I have represented the nation on multiple occasions locally and internationally. I also have an avid interest in video games and anything pop culture related, and am a huge comic book enthusiast. So I spend most of my free time either in a swimming pool somewhere or behind a computer. It also has a beautiful campus integrated into the city, instead of being tucked away in a corner of our island. The people and culture seem incredibly balanced—the community also seems really collaborative and supportive.
I have no doubt that everyone will find their place in SMU. I personally am looking forward to the research opportunities and overseas study programmes that I hope to participate in. I have always enjoyed participating in Model United Nations conferences, untangling the many facets of current affairs through political debate. Engaging with current affairs in such an interactive way opened my eyes to their complexity and spurred my interest in pursuing an interdisciplinary curriculum like PLE.
For leisure, I love painting as it is very therapeutic. It helps me de-stress and finishing a piece of art brings me a sense of fulfilment. I have discovered so much more about the DFW area than I ever did in high school and it has only become more beautiful.
I thought I knew what Dallas had to offer before coming to SMU, but now I know that it has way more than I can ever experience in four years. I had never seen the parts of Dallas that I typically hang in now. With that said, it is comforting to know that I can always make time for a visit home if things become too stressful and overwhelming.
Berkner High School. And if you do you can easily go home on a Sunday for lunch. There is so much that SMU has to offer that honestly, home feels like it is states away.
I absolutely love being so close to home and I couldn't imagine being anywhere else. Forgot something? No problem. Just go home, grab it, and come back. If someone were worried about being too close to home, they shouldn't be. SMU's campus feels very different from the rest of Dallas.
It allowed me to have a little bit of freedom but still be close enough to home to have a home cooked meal every once in a while. The way they do this is by letting you know what is going on around campus, the students and faculty members making sure you're involved, and by having a variety of clubs and activities for everyone.
Living on campus really establishes that feeling of being away at college, as well as getting involved in campus organizations that keep you on campus in that SMU sphere of influence.
It is the perfect mix of big city life meets small town comfort meets southern hospitality. It is just the right amount of comfortable. You learn so much about Dallas ranging from the good things about the city to its flaws that you would have never noticed before. The campus is very safe and hosts lots of cool events. But being in Dallas, it is not hard to go out in the big city!
I'm living on my own, on campus and in a university environment all the time. I'm still in a familiar city, but I get to see a new side of it, which makes it feel as though I'm in a different place entirely.
The opportunity is very inspiring, especially given the fact that I'm surrounded by such like-minded and extremely intelligent individuals. Find Your Dream School.
