Read the college application essay a high-school senior wrote on the dangers of pandemics — before coronavirus hit the United States

Grant Colvin is a high school senior at Shawnee Mission East High School.

For his college application essays, he wrote about his fascination with pandemics — months before the coronavirus pandemic swept across the United States.The following is his college essay, published in full.Admittedly, I spent hours of my childhood playing computer games like Pandemic 2 with the goal of engineering a pandemic that could annihilate humanity.

Due to the international nature of pandemics, my passion mutated to include not just the biological aspect, but the geopolitical as well. How do epidemics affect peace-building in the Global South? Would alliances strengthen in response to a worldwide outbreak, or would the anarchic nature of the international arena prevail? These questions supplanted my childhood nightmares in keeping me up at night; eventually, I strive to find the answers.

My initial encounter with pandemics spawned out of fear, but it quickly ignited my desire to learn about global health frameworks and foment a sense of empathy and collaboration across borders.
