2016년 2월, 1기를 시작으로 창간된 헤럴드 인사이트 & 투모로우가, 5년이 지난 2021년 1월말로 10기 활동을 마무리합니다. 그 사이에 코로나 바이러스 사태가 터지고, 많은 미국 대학들은 SAT 시험 점수들을 선택 조항으로 바꾸고, 통상 SAT 2 라고 부르던 SAT 과목별 시험도 2021년 6월 시험을 마지막으로 폐지될 예정입니다.이런 상황에서, 해외 명문대학, 특히 미국 명문 대학 진학을 위한 비교과 특별활동들에 대해서, SAT 시험 점수 제출 여부에 대해서, 학생기자 활동의 의미에 대해서 많은 질문들이 나오고 있습니다

Where do you go shopping for your clothes? What do you look for when shopping? Are you looking for something high-quality that is made from sustainable materials or a cheap piece? Based on the fact that most clothing widely consumed today is fast fashion, it’s safe to assume that most answer the las
I grew up watching Disney princesses since I was a young toddler. The flamboyant dresses, their adorable animal companions, and sparkly crowns were the epitome of awesomeness as a young girl. As a toddler, I chose which princesses we wanted to be with my friends, buying coloring books filled with th
What comes to your mind when you hear the word “basketball?” Some will imagine a basketball court, a basketball rim, or the ball. These are essential prerequisites for anyone who plays basketball. Then, what image comes to your mind when you hear “a basketball game?” Many will think about 5x5 (which
With my past six years of playing flute, I would say that I am at an advanced level in this area. I first started playing flute in the start of the fourth grade, when my new school in America required me to play one instrument. It was my first time ever playing an instrument, which made me exhilarat
The COVID-19 pandemic, for a long time now, has been considered as a global pandemic. It has even spread to Rwanda, my current country of residence. However, the cases in Rwanda are not as severe as some other nations around the globe, with less than 100 daily cases. Whilst this long-lasting pandemi

글은 생각과 마음을 담아내는 거울이다. 2000년도에 유학 나올 당시 썼던 ‘자기소개서’를 아직도 가지고 있다. 읽을 때마다 얼굴이 붉어지곤 한다. 서투른 문장, 무엇보다 나를 소개함에 있어 2남 2녀의 막내 라는 관계를 먼저 말했다. 미국 대학은 관계 속에 있는 '나'보다는 세상을 바라보는 나의 시선을 보고 싶어한다. 따라서, 에세이는 점수나 학점이 아닌 올곧이 ‘나’ 만을 보여주는 독무대인 셈이다. 주인공이 나이고, 관계나 사건은 나의 견해 속에서 재해석된다. 매해 주제가 정해지기는 하나, 대부분 같은 맥락이다.

Transitioning from high school to college is a big life event that most high school seniors, including myself, will be experiencing in a couple of months.

2019 and 2020 can be best summarized by COVID-19 Pandemic. When the novel virus first hit, mass panic ensued. Mundane items such as hand sanitizer, masks, and toilet paper became valuable treasures. It seemed that COVID-19 changed everything for everyone, and seemed like life would never be the same
