However, in some few exceptions, the report appears to concur with the position as gathered from previous studies on the Intelligence Community. This paper shall briefly run a comparison and contrast of the Post’s report and previous studies on the Intelligence Community and express some ...

Personal Statement: Make the World Move Forward

I have always studied hard, because I have a passionate ambition to study computer science at the University of Washington so that I can one day return to help poor children in rural China, who currently have little or no opportunity to obtain a decent education. In high school I was captain of the soccer team, as I was very good at sports, as well as being in the top flight in most of my academic subjects. I am an immigrant from China, living in the U.S. with my mother who does not speak English, and have to work as well ...

When people think of China, I think they often think of places like Beijing and Shanghai, these sprawling metropolitan places packed tight with millions and millions of people. Or maybe they think of the cold, gray country that exists to the west. My birth city, Guilin, is nothing like these places. I come from the southern part of China, from the Guangxi province, where everything is warm, green, and beautiful. I was lucky to be born in Guilin. My family was lucky also, and were quite prosperous in the years before I was born. Still, I was the first ...

Being born and raised in Makkah Saudi Arabia, I can ascertain that the country is better off economically and most people don’t have a serious financial strain. However, the majority of the citizens lack education and better health services from one city to another. Having been born in an upcoming family, with my dad being just a truck driver, I used to travel with him to enjoy his company. However, I took a wider look at the various parts of the country’s education and health systems both in large and small cities. It was astonishing to observe how people died ...

A mentor of mine told me that dreams are not achieved by simply working hard—working smart is one of the keys to success.

When I was younger, my parents brought me a desktop computer that fascinated me to no end. My uncle was a computer engineer; he motivated me to learn how to use it. Thus, I taught myself strong computer operating skills and ...

As an undergraduate at the University of Washington, I have inspiring academic endeavors. My current goal, thereby, is to apply for an internship to a neuro research facility at the Allen Institute of Brain Science.

When I was attending elementary school in Ukraine, I began to develop an appreciation for classical music. This ...

Born and raised in Saudi Arabia, I was always curious and impressed with the human body: how we evolved in to big people from little bodies; how our skin and organs stretched; and how cells reproduced themselves. The older I got, the more my interest peaked about the wonders of the human body. However, during my senior year in high school when my father was admitted to the hospital to undergo Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery, another type of curiosity was experienced. After surgery, he developed very serious complications that resulted in some breathing problems and internal bleeding. ...
