Classical Reflections in Herstory
My eyes scan the Latin,searching for a word in the nominative to ground the beginning of my translation.Each line of Latin is like a pile of jumbled puzzle pieces.It’s my job to sort each part of speech into the right order until the knobs and holes of the sentence click together.The completion of a translation is always fulfilling.留学美国
Studying Latin and Ancient Greek allowed me to read the epic stories I loved in their original languages,and find nuances through their allusions and word pictures,adding a depth unknown to the English texts.Eventually,I began to seek out lesser-known writings by female and nonbinary writers who differed from the men often taught in the Latin classroom.In her poem,Renaissance writer,Olympia Morata,defines herself apart from the historical expectations placed upon women,and instead by her own unique interests.Despite the passage of time between us,I connect with her words as another young woman acquiring self knowledge and transitioning into womanhood.Her writing left me wondering how many other writings of marginalized authors were waiting to be appreciated.The role of gender and whose story gets to be heard in the Classics intrigued me,and led me to examine how gender was complicated during the Roman Civil War in Tacitus’Histories.
In college,I hope to explore more writings by women throughout history to better understand gender dynamics,and ultimately help raise their profile.The stories of many female authors remain unheard in Latin classrooms where their male counterparts,such as Caesar and Vergil,dominate.By broadening my range of readings,I intend to continue helping to bridge the gender gap within the Classics.
The opportunity to research at Johns Hopkins’Classical Research Lab would allow me to continue exploring my questions surrounding gender in the Classics while discovering the writings of forgotten authors at my own pace.Unique courses at Hopkins which observe the connection between Greek Myth and Anime,and the ancient interpretations of the cosmos,all interest me and will open my eyes to new avenues within the Classics.Additionally,Archaeology and Ancient Civilizations Club and Quiz Bowl Club seem like fun ways to test my knowledge while meeting new people with similar interests.As shown,the Classics community at Johns Hopkins provides many amazing opportunities which I intend to utilize fully.

Tikkun Olam
Tikkun Olam,a desire to help repair the world,is the most important value that my family transmitted.Although it was presented to me all my life,I internalized its meaning when I realized I needed to do something for my city.
I grew up in La Plata,which sits on the widest river in the world,the Río de La Plata.I’ve been sailing on this river since I was a child.As I got older,I started to notice some changes in the river:dead fish,floating waste,and a murky color.This filled my heart with concern and sadness.After brainstorming about how I could help restore the river to its original glory,I had my eureka moment:filter the trash out of the water using a waterproof barrier.I gathered people in my neighborhood who shared my concern,and after several attempts,the floating waste barrier we had engineered was up and running.It was empowering to take an idea from my head and with hard work turn it into something physical and useful.However,cleaning up the river is just the beginning,I’m inspired to create more mechanisms like this one.
At Hopkins,I aim to spread the concept of Tikkun Olam and carry my initiative to fight against pollution,as I intend to develop new systems with my peers and professors to build a greener campus,just as I did in my city.Hopkins is the ideal place for this thanks to the variety of courses it offers to complement my ideas and ambitions:working alongside Professor Michael Tsapatsis would help me enrich my knowledge in green energy,in order to reduce waste and pollution.Moreover,being part of Professor Marc Donohue’s research group would allow me to work in collaborative projects,and thrive on catalytic systems to reduce emissions from industrial processes that will benefit Hopkins’community.I would love to connect these projects with my Latin roots,and the OLÉLatine student group is the perfect environment for it.From this,I will gain knowledge to build myself as a professional,and then bring those transformative ideas back to my hometown.
That’s why I strongly believe that the opportunities in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at JHU are absolutely perfect for me to apply what I’ve learned from my experience and engage in this new community to make the best out of it.

My Rock
Nothing about true love comes easy.Loving comes with hard work,responsibility and compromise.In my case,it came with four legs,PTSD,separation anxiety and in need of constant attention.
Rock came to us when he was 10 years old,retired from the Bangalore police force and in need of a loving home for his last few years.I’d been asking my parents if we could adopt a dog for years.I still wonder what made them say‘yes’to Rock.Suffering from amebiasis and severely malnourished,he had been at the dog shelter for a while,and was on the verge of giving up.
I wasn’t ready to parent a senior dog.As the youngest in the family,I was the one who was always looked after.Once Rock came along,I was suddenly completely responsible for someone else’s life.Roles like being a school student council member taught me responsibility,but not to care for someone else.I realized the stark difference between acknowledging responsibility and actually taking it on.
It was the small things like recognizing the difference between barks for food or barks to be taken out.It was the bigger things like feeding him 10 pills a day,bladder issues that meant he needed four walks a day and acute PTSD and separation anxiety.Rock was a whole lot of work and needed a whole lot of love.
I thought I knew how to multitask with my varied extracurriculars,but here I was learning a whole new meaning to the word.I thought I had effective communication skills from my time volunteering at a dog shelter,and here I was trying to create a whole new lexicon for what each of Rock’s barks meant.
And yet,nothing has come easier to me than my love for Rock.Awkward,unsure of how to express love,and constantly hungry,he and I mirror each other in more ways than one.As a child,I would make my older sister follow me around the house,just to make sure I had her attention.Ten years later,my dog does the same to me.
Anxious and traumatized,he needs me as his therapy human as much as I need him for moral support and inspiration.And,an inspiration he is.Arthritic,limping,and uprooted from his life of ten years,Rock remains the biggest source of joy in our lives.As tough as it was for us to adjust to having him,it was a million times harder for him.But,somehow,he’s managed to find his joy with us,too.Whether I leave the room for ten minutes or 3 days,he’s always ecstatic when I return.All he needs is for me to show up.There are even times when he wags his tail in his sleep.Our relationship helps us both–he teaches me to be happy and I make sure I always show up for him.
I recently visited the Exploratorium in San Francisco and observed what is known as a mutualistic relationship between Randall’s pistol shrimp and prawn goby.The shrimp always has at least one antenna touching the fish at all times–their symbiosis depends on it.Rock and I are always in the same room,always within a foot of each other.
In his essay collection,‘The Anthropocene Reviewed’,John Green says,“the Canada goose is hard to love.But then again,so are most of us.”
Rocky has taught me that I’m,surprisingly,pretty good at the tough parts of love.That I can be responsible,caring and overflowing with good feelings all at once.Maybe it’s just that the love that seems the hardest,that teaches us the most,is the one we treasure most.And for this,and for Rock,I am forever grateful.

Pack Light,But Be Prepared
Friday night,September the 16th 2022 and I am packing for my pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia,Spain.It is a tradition at my school that all seniors begin their final year of school by embarking on the“Camino de Santiago”(the Way of St.James).Four days of walking a total of 135 kilometers to reach our destination.We have been told to pack light,a bulky and heavy backpack will hold you back,but to be prepared for:changing weather(lightweight clothes,a jacket,rain poncho)blisters and sore feet(plenty of socks,extra shoes,bandages,antiseptics)and physical exhaustion(dried fruits and nuts,cereal bars,extra water bottles).I look at my compact backpack and I think…it is going to be a long night.
As I settle into the task at hand,carefully packing,unpacking,and readjusting items,trying to make them fit,it occurs to me that we do the very same thing in life.The backpack that we carry on our journey must also be packed light so that it is easy to carry,and it too must be equipped with everything we will need to successfully face the unexpected;to be prepared for anything that comes our way,and this got me thinking,“What do I have in my backpack?”
The first time I consciously chose an item to pack was in first grade.I remember as I listened to my teacher stressing the importance of“good behavior”,my interest was riveted on the transparent yo-yo with flashing lights which would be given to the student who received the most merits at the end of the month.I had a goal and I planned to work diligently towards achieving it,and I did.That feeling of success was so fulfilling,so gratifying that it marked a path that I would follow from there on out.
I was twelve when I made a deliberate switch of items in my backpack.I had been playing soccer forever,we all did,it is the sport of choice here in Spain,so many were surprised when I decided to take up rugby instead.My decision was based on finding a sport that not only matches my physical abilities and potential but more importantly it reflects who I am.In rugby,there are no superstars,both victory and defeat are owned by the team with an intense spirit of camaraderie.I have been playing on a federated level for the past five years and all the values that are embodied in this sport–integrity,passion,solidarity,discipline,commitment,and respect–have found a permanent home in my backpack.
There came a time when I realized that something was missing.I was unable to put a name to it,but I would reach for it in certain situations,and it was not there.My decision to do ninth grade of high school abroad,in New Jersey,led me to discover what it was.I had to learn how to put myself out there for people,outside of my circle,to get to know me.I had to open myself up to making new connections and brace myself for possible rejection by stepping out of my comfort zone.This experience marked a before and after in my life for which I will be eternally grateful.
It is 1.00 a.m.and I have finally finished packing;a tight fit,but I have everything I will need.As for my other backpack,I do a quick mental check:a goal-oriented drive,actions coherent with my character,the ability to open myself up to and learn from new and enriching experiences and other items,carefully tucked in there.Am I prepared for what lies ahead?I believe so,and the best part is,I left room for so much more.
