I am grateful to experience what it is like to have an extraordinary employer. Not many people can say they had the chance to work for someone who is not only a strong leader, but an exceptional mentor. I had the pleasure of working as a Residential Assistance for Mr. Joseph at Florida Memorial University for a year, and I could not have asked for a better experience. His dedication and passion for the students at Florida Memorial University was refreshing and uplifting. In Residential Life, our main focus was the residence’s housing experience; however, Mr. Joseph sincerely cared about each student’s wellbeing and success.
I am most attracted to Loma Linda University’s mission to make man whole and continue the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ and its commitment to faith and science. As a Seventh-day Adventist christian, the motto to make man whole has never been more personal than it is now. As I grow in my experience as a christian, to further the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus continues to take center stage. This mission and an understanding of the need for whole person care is something I seek to demonstrate and encourage through my profession as a nurse and involvement in my community.
There are many core principles encompassed by the mission and values of Pacific University's Physician Assistant Studies program that I know will make Pacific University a great match for me. Ensuring high quality care for patients, valuing diversity, and lifelong learning of evidence based medicine are concepts that should be at the core of healthcare. Also important to me is the need to help underserved populations. Currently working as a medical assistant at a primary care physicians office in Hilo, Hawaii I work with many individuals from underserved communities of the island and I see the need for greater healthcare access in these areas, and I am now committed to continuing to help the underserved as I further my career.
Coming from a different culture but still embracing the Christian values that Loma Linda University emphasizes, I believe that my unique background and personal experiences distinguish my application from others. Growing up in Egypt, where the gap between social classes is significant, my parents always stressed the need to prioritize service into my life encouraging me to dedicate time in volunteering and helping others. As a result, my experience has grown from volunteering to serve as a camp leader for orphans in the summer to participating in international dental service trips. These involvements would allow me to use my skills in organizing missions trips at Loma Linda. Being a Coptic Orthodox Christian enables me to add diversity to the
I began my education at Stephen F. Austin State University, which was founded as a teacher’s college in 1923. That is why I chose SFASU because I wanted to teach children, plus I wanted to concentrate on teaching them to read. I received my B.S. in Elementary Education and Generic Special Education in 1985. I concentrated on working with the at-risk population and began my journey as an educator in January 1986. I quickly realized that I had a thirst for knowledge and set a goal to continue my education until one day I would receive my doctorate in education.
Empathy, a most basic human quality, but how many can define it. Empathy according to the Oxford Canadian dictionary empathy is the power of identifying oneself mentally with (and so fully comprehending) a person or object of contemplation, but what does this mean? In simpler terms empathy is the ability to share the thoughts and feelings of another being or object. If that's the definition where can we find examples of this trait that has long been forgotten by society? In Harper Lee’s award winning novel To Kill A Mockingbird, a tale about friendship, loyalty, loss, and perhaps most importantly a story about empathy.
I see myself being an engaged member of the WCU and Brinson Honors College community by being involved in community service opportunities, becoming a member of leadership organizations, and taking advantage of opportunities to study and serve in a different country or to participate in undergraduate studies. I plan to be engaged in the WCU community by being involved in all that I can be involved in. Specifically, I hope to become involved in at least one of the faith-based groups on campus, such as the Baptist Student Fellowship at WCU or the Campus Crusade for Christ. Becoming involved in faith-based organizations is important to me and will allow me to love God and love people better by learning more about God and participating in service projects that will share his love and truth. Additionally, I want to join a local Church family, where I hope to serve in various aspects of the Church, especially those that involve children, something that I am passionate about.
My job as a patient care technician allowed me to care for numerous individuals from a variety of backgrounds. Through this experience, I came to the realization that I loved people. I loved hearing their stories and the secret hopes and fears they would share with me in the dead of the night. I realized that I wanted to have a career where I could not only help people, but learn from them as well. I believe a career in the healthcare field would allow me to do this.
I can do this by taking time out for myself, getting help from peers, actively listening to patient needs, attending workshops, courses, or seminars focused on emotional intelligence, empathy, and communication. By acquiring knowledge and skills in these areas, I can improve my ability to understand and respond to the emotional needs of
On the surface, the University of Florida prevails as one of the top ten public universities in the United States and one of the best colleges in the world. However, "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet". Aside from UF's impressive titles, the University offers outstanding opportunities that suit my academic goals and living situation. On the surface, the University of Florida prevails as one of the top ten public universities in the United States and one of the best colleges in the world.
A few for a physician’s assistant are problem-solving skills, compassion, and communication skills. Problem-solving skills are skills that physician ’s need to evaluate patients’ symptoms and provide the appropriate treatment. In my daily life I come across a lot of problems, for instance forgetting my phone charger.
The most significant contributions that I have made to Mount St. Ursula would have to be my involvement in the school. I am a well rounded individual from student athlete to much more. I engage in extra curricular activities in school and maintain good grades. This is something that sets me apart from the rest of my class because I manage keep up with all my vigorous classes while being involved and not many can do that. Also something that not many can they say they have done but I can is the fact that I have taken every AP class the school has offered in my years being there.
Kindness, patience, understanding, and empathy are the baseline for good bedside manner. Since MAs are often the first-person incoming patients meet, you must understand where they’re coming from. You should have empathy, or the ability to put yourself in their shoes to comfort and prepare them for the next steps. Communication Skills Since MAs interact directly with patients, they must be able to explain and translate complex medical terminology and jargon for non-medical people. Sometimes this is done in stressful, high anxiety situations which is why calm, clear, and reassuring communication is a prerequisite for a successful MA career.
After witnessing my father’s struggle with mental illness and the impact of its stigma on our family, I hope to pursue a psychology degree at KPU.Since mental health is often neglected in teenage years, I aspire to work as a guidance counsellor to provide mental health support to youth in need. Two years ago, my mother revealed to me that my father has schizophrenia. For quite some time, I knew that he lifted heavy loads alone, resulting in both wrist and back injuries which required surgery. My father still tried to work, but was often laid off to prevent further injury. Paranoia, withdrawal, and side effects of medication are a constant strain on the fabric of my family.
Her hyper-empathy to the feelings of others—a strength in and of
