Sun Yi wrote this brief application essay for entrance into Tufts University, bringing a delightful new insight to the word WHY.
Why, Why, Why, Why, Why...
This word in my existence keeps annoying my parents, and later in school sometimes makes my teachers confused. Scientists try to fill the mystery behind this word. Philosophers and sociologists devote their life to this word, formulating various interpretations, but never reaching an agreement.
This word, combining both simplicity and complexity, is important in every culture and for every individual. It doesn’t matter in Chinese, English or other languages; this word can be used as a single word or added into any situation.
That is my dear “why”.
I never stop asking:
Why does a rainbow have seven different colors?
Why can’t fish close their eyes?
Why does this or that happen?
“Why” is the essence of my education and the key to my achievement. “Why” forms my habits of acutely observing, constantly questioning, widely searching, carefully testing and logically analyzing. “Why” gives me energy to study days and nights and never lose my strong curiosity. “Why” shapes my determination to study abroad, to pursue my dream as a diplomat regardless of all the challenges, and today, to apply to Tufts.
I grow with “why”.
