IP2 Essay: Moe Eh Academic Profile 

Moe Eh, a young lady born in a developing nation called Myanmar had quite a different upbringing than most Americans. Moving to Georgia when she was in the third grade her life got turned upside down. Learning English was awfully hard for her and all throughout elementary/middle school she wasn’t that good at school. As far as her being in school things didn’t start to get on track until she got into high school. 

Even though Moe didn’t realize this back then, it was also around this time she began to find her new purpose in school. When Moe was in high school, she started to feel the pressure from her parents high expectations. These pressures were the backbone and all the inspiration needed for Moe. She eventually graduated in the top 10% of her class and finished with a 3.7 weighted GPA. 

Now it was time for her to figure out what she wanted to do after finishing high school. But then in the midst of her finalizing applications for college a global pandemic pretty much put her plans on hold. So, she thought to just take a year off from school and to try college again the following year. Eventually the next year came and out of all the colleges that accepted her she chose Georgia State University along with enrolling in for her first semester in the Fall of 2021. Also, when asked about why she chose GSU she simply just said that it was close to home, and she doesn’t like being away from family. 

Moe decided to major in “Early Education” and so far, is enjoying being a student here at GSU. One of her hopes is to become a teacher so this pathway seems like it is definitely right for her. To end our discussion off I asked her what’s something you would you tell your younger self? She responded by saying to not give up no matter how hard school gets and how much pressure you feel from your parents everything will work out in the future.
