Reading response 5

Filled with apprehension, I moved from India to San Diego,
To study, to explore, to experience diversity,
I wished to become a global citizen,
To learn to live and love without prejudice,
The UCSD family has welcomed me with open arms,
Between long hours at the library, midnight meals, dorm parties and the trips to the beach,
I have found a home away from home. Go Tritons!

I am an international student from India. I have always been fascinated by the fact that at UCSD I would have the opportunity to interact with students from diverse backgrounds. I believe that diverse perspectives help people evolve into better human beings. I wish to become a global citizen and I feel that UCSD is providing me the right campus climate to fulfill my dream.

For the Culture, Art, and Technology (CAT) 1: Migration Narratives in the Sixth College writing program taught by Amanda Solomon in the Fall of 2016, students were asked to think about how they view the current campus climate and respond to the fourth chapter of Angela Kong's dissertation, "Re-examining Diversity Policy at University of California, San Diego: The Racial Politics of Asian Americans" Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of California, San Diego, 2014.
