任何年龄的变革推动者
Landing a position at the United Nations Foundation is quite a feat at any age, 尤其是对刚毕业的大学生来说! Having professors who knew her well enough to write strong recommendations really aided her job application. 此外，Shriya感谢Agnes Scott的 写作和口语中心) for helping her to submit the most competitive application possible. The CWS is a peer tutoring center which helps students with essays, 演讲, 甚至准备面试. Shriya自己也做了两年的同伴家教.

Shriya attri但es much of her confidence to her experience at a women’s college. 然而，她并不总是那么热衷于这个想法. 她的父母很大程度上鼓励她去看阿格尼斯·斯科特, 但, 当时学院的招生团队访问了她在印度的学校, 她的看法改变了.
“It was a complete 180 degree change of perspective in my mind. 女人真的无所不能, Agnes Scott tries so hard to paint the picture of ‘it’s not a dream, it’s a reality’… seeing women hold all of those leadership positions and not seeing any men was a very fresh perspective that I needed, 尤其是来自更传统的背景. Seeing that I could do anything was a huge confidence boost for me.”
