I neeed to finish my app! I’m so close to being done! I just need the inspiration/motivation to finish writing my essays. I love Russian language and culture, I want to work for the US State Department as a Foreign Service Officer more than anything. Now I only need to express this passion with intelligent, cohesive sentences and show myself in the best light possible in order to be selected for this awesome program. I had such a great experience with NSLI-Y and I would love to make it happen again!
