Short response question

Students are the key to making DHSP work. Your own and your classmates' success will depend on your willingness to challenge yourself and your peers, to continue working even when you're frustrated, to teach and to listen, to experiment and to try new ideas, and to collaborate with all members of your group, especially those from educational or cultural backgrounds different from yours. By describing a specific experience you've had, tell us why you are a good candidate for the program, and why you are interested in science and/or math.
