Personal Stories

The chance to represent Harvard women’s varsity tennis team was one of the most fulfilling experiences at Harvard so far. Not only I had a second family here, but I felt that I was paying back to the community by representing Harvard College.

Try to be open-minded and open to new experiences and trying new things: some you might like, some you might not. See your time here as not only for the main priority of doing well and getting your degree but use it also as an opportunity to educate yourself and grow more socially and culturally.
