College Essay by Kripa Bhagat - The YICG Experience

College Essay by Kripa Bhagat:

"Every Saturday afternoon ever since I can remember, I have participated in the Hindu heritage classes offered by the Young Indian Culture Group. In first grade, we were hearing stories from the Ramayana or the Mahabharata. In sixth grade, we were making power points about the temples in India. Now, we understand the stories behind our culture, the religion behind our prayers, and the values behind our actions. I learned how to think conscientiously about the world around me. The lessons taught me to ask questions about everything. I learned the importance of respecting other people's opinions, preserving my culture, and appreciating others'. Every lesson gave me a broader view of the world and made me appreciate my own opportunities. As my life continues to thrust me in new situations, I am thankful to have
had an environment to grow into the strong-willed, passionate, and perceptive woman that I have become and I am excited to bring these qualities into my future experiences."
