In the tradition of liberal arts, I have a breadth of interests and competencies. While I have yet to pursue a specialization in a particular field, I am confident that my acquired skills have prepared me to take on the challenges of the future, whatever they may be.
Although education is often seen as a means to an end, my enjoyment has always been derived from the actual process of learning. Understanding a sophisticated argument, whether a physics derivation or a philosophical treatise, is where I find joy. With this as my motivation, I have continually sought out the highest academic challenges; my transcript is, if nothing else, a testament to this fact.
Beyond the classroom, curiosity compels me to further study. From poetry, to technology, to politics, I can regularly be found doing research in the library. This range of interests is explanation as to why my intellectual pursuit never stagnates.
