I don’t know why this came up on my recommendations, but I can’t help but smile at such a well made and a wholesome summation of all the amazing talents and accomplishments of this girl. Good luck to you Anika
honestly this is really amazing, but i cant help but feel somewhat mad at colleges to pressure students to take on so many activities, cirriculars, charities, researches and mantain their superb grades all this while, Of course some students can choose not to, but they will never get into a good untiversity that way. Honestly teenage years shouldnt be wasted away preparing for our 20's where you simply prepare for jobs and such
tbh a lot of students enjoy taking up those extra-curriculars. yes there are many who do it just for getting into a good college, but as someone who's genuinely enthusiastic about everything i do, extra-curriculars, charities, researches + academics is such a fun way to occupy yourself in your teenage years. my extra-curriculars are a way for me to cultivate my hobbies too. if i wasn't such an active student, i wouldn't be meeting and connecting w many skilled people from various fields nor would i have the confidence to express myself as adulthood dawns on me. the requirement from these colleges is v stringent and the system does need improvement, i agree, but i think it's good to take it as a learning experience.
Some fields of expertise requires highly intelligent people, for example, you want your doctor to be an expert and know how to treat your condition. Therefore, it is not surprising that high-calibre students can get into schools and careers that denote prestige and high-paying jobs. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong if you are not one of those students, as each of us have different priorities in life. What is important is to have a society where our livelihood is not shun down because we are not academically outstanding. Jobs that requires other forms of intelligence other than cognitive intelligence are also necessary to maintain societal functions and should have decent wage as well.
@@DungLe-zo8rf yes i totally agree with you, but the problem im pointing out is that this is required for every good college no matter what field you are in
@@makhfi9578 i also agree with you, but the problem is, the colleges dont give us any choice, so for the overwhelming majority of people this is a do or die situtation becuase theres no way theyre getting in without doing the extra activitites, so the colleges dont give you any other route, becuase not doing all these things is almost a definite path to rejection.
dang I'm from germany and all we have to do is have good grades to get into the top universities in the country. its fascinating to me that in the us you have to do all these extracurriculars matching your aspired major which besically forces you to know what you wanna do in life when your just 14/15. congrats in the amazing video tho, you seem like you have put in a lot of work and heart !
@@bea_hani Im agreeing with you. Its the same in my country (South Africa). But the top universities in most countries aren't exactly prestigious on a global level. So its worth the struggle.
@@t.s5806 yeah that's true, there are few universities in germany that are known globally... But as most people and me included stay in their home country (or for me: stay in Europe) getting into a good local university is more than good enough, luckily. Here, no one really cares where you studied, just about if you're ambitious and have expertise...
So kids gotta do this much to get into a good uni now? Bruh all i had were good grades and was talented in like two things. Congrats, girl. I hope you enjoy your uni and make it big in life
@@suyoma Thank you so much for the advice. I'll definitely try to stand out, also I'm happy for your brother! That is amazing. You really opened my eyes with being extraordinary and standing out to colleges. It's crazy how stuff like this decides our future for decades. We have to make it, we do or we don't. That's just reality. Best of luck to you too!
I have no idea why youtube recommended your video, but I am so happy it did! You are an incredible young woman! Cheering you on in your college career (and beyond) all the way from Romania! Wishing you all the best!
Hey, I’m probably a decade off you, I graduated hs in 2014. I think this is the most encouraging and uplifting video. Bravo, truly so so well done. I think I spent years struggling in school and in growing up until I found my footing in my mid 20s. As a Latina, I think seeing other women who look like me was severely lacking in my youth/teens. This video is going to help other girls, young women, and students in the future. I am a sophomore in college now, I have no student loans because I waited and learned at my own pace. Thank you! I felt quite inspired and encouraged by your video!
this just completely randomly appeared in my recommendations, and im glad I watched it since it makes me so happy to FRC in the wild! I also did FRC when I was in high school!
dang i went to guilford elementary in second and third grade!! i moved to a different state, but it's awesome seeing your success!! i wish you all the best!!!!
wowowow i see most of the comments are about how youtube unexpectedly recommended this and it's the same for me ;-; currently stressing about college applications but i'm nowhere near this interesting, best of luck to anika
wow here in India, all you have to do to get into a good university is just take an entrance exam and have good scores in 10th and 12th grade, they don't even look at the grades of 11th or 9th grade. Although, some unis require you to give an interview after entrance selection and then you get your results!
just take an entrance😭 as a JEE aspirant, I'd rather do extracurriculars than just to study for like 20 hours straight and not even getting accepted into IIT's
When I watch stuff like this, I think “wtf am I doing with my life” 😭😭 when I was a kid, all I did was play computer games. Never thought to take up productive hobbies like dancing. Did I need my parents to enrol me into all these things? Idk 😭 going into middle school, all I did was attend classes, do homework and do well in exams, but never more than that. I didn’t even know I had to do more. I thought the regular studying and sitting for exams were normal and enough.
We can all be exactly where she is! It’s hard, but once we hold ourselves accountable, find our strengths and weaknesses, there’s nothing you can’t achieve. This 2 minute video is only a glimpse of the effort and patience she had to see all her work come to fruition. You are her equal! See her progress as evidence that you will succeed too! No matter where you are on the journey, I’m rooting for you.
@@imthecoolest50 Even I am facing the same situation , now I am an adult but I don't have any skill which in which I am particularly good at and I am just average in studies :) Nothing special about me. Feels like I wasted 20 years of my life
I have no idea why this video got recommended to me multiple times. I did not click it the very first time LOL. Yet, worth watching :) Best wishes Anika Suman!
holy shit i suck at life! but i will say you have the privellege of being able to attend all these events and what seems to be an amazing school, so that i can cope with myself.
this is amazing anika, you deseerved it. i did more than this and got rejected from nyu. why? because im an international student in need of financial scholarhip. but i wont give up. i wont settle for an education that is less than what i deserve.
Simply wow. What a portfolio! Accomplished, smart and graceful. Are u enjoying studying at Brown? Has it lived up to your expectations? Are there many Indians at Brown? And have you been able to continue singing and dancing?
Wow, Anika! This is amazing and heartfelt congratulations on all your accomplishments! Can you please share what software you used to create this video.
ooh would love to make one on that! i had to figure out a lot about how to find research opportunities myself, so i would love to share and help others in the same boat :)
All the pressure to be this amazing feels a little cringe. At the same time, this is the sort of teenager admissions folks dream of. Authentic, talented, diverse. It makes me smile. Best of luck Anika!
It's surprising how much pressure they givd literal kids. Like study hard to get straight As, then find the energy and time to do extracurriculars like some people might not be able to do them? Then if you can't, boom no ivy league school. This is not right imo.
God knows you and He loves you! God loves you but does not love sin because it separates you from Him. We all sin but God made a way for unity. Through Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins. Believe and repent. Repenting is basically letting God have your focus instead of your own. Know God and His love.
I don't understand, if someone have that much of skills already then why needs to go to school for 😅. Why can't just start your company and get rich like the owners of big tech giants. NO OFFENSE THOUGH!
Maybe not everyone wants to be entrepreneurs? Or she may want to gain new perspectives or more knowledge. After all, there is much more to know about everything in the world. Besides that, you’re making it seem like every entrepreneur is at the level of Elon Musk. Hate to break it to you, it is extremely, and I mean extremely hard to succeed, let alone become a billionaire.
@@salt5711 I wasn't indicating or specifying anyone. Lot other people who has tremendous potential and skills and despite those facts they take thousands $ of loans to learn something what they already know and when the achieve their degree than they take some jobs and spend their whole life without any freedoms.

you pretty much hit the nail right on the head, its suffocating and serves as a main catalyst in the US mental health epidemic amongst youth.

I'm sorry, but Anika Suman reminds me of Amita Suman, which reminds me of shadow and bone, hence why i clicked
You both are so pretty ❤️
Bro I’m never gonna get married at this rate god dang 😂
Congrats.
why is so hard to get into universities
The cousin your parents are always comparing you:
Unfortunately i have no collection of my childhood photos or videos
Is it compulsory to make one to get accepted in esteemed colleges?
Glad I'm not your cousin

Damnnnn I thought the same💀
She goes to the number one public school in the U.S. that has like 200 students lol
what was ur SAT or ACT score?
SAT was a 1560 but the rest of my stats and ECs are in a separate video on my channel!

Siman✅
meanwhile me wondering whether I should go with cheetos or doritos for today's movie session with the peers
Definitely with Doritos 😄
Does brown now require or is it optional for video portfolio?
It's optional but highly recommended! Brown does the video portfolio in place of interviews so it's a great way to show your interest.
God knows you and He loves you! God loves you but does not love sin because it separates you from Him.
We all sin but God made a way for unity. Through Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins. Believe and repent. Repenting is basically letting God have your focus instead of your own. Know God and His love.
Yeah. I’ll just go put myself to eternal sleep.
