I’m most proud of my two terms as ASB Director of Communications, the student spokesperson for the ASB and faculty. The job demands proficiency in graphic design, public speaking, and time management; responsibilities include creating posters, broadcasting PSAs, commentating class competitions, and sending weekly emails to an audience of 1600 students. I’ve led two ASB committees to coordinate our school’s Stanford Blood Drive and FairTrade Initiative. I’m also the go-to guy who answers all students’ general questions. How many times a week does an email from a complete stranger pop up in the inbox?
Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) has influenced me in many ways. First, it was the school's amazing nursing program. The school of nursing was established in 1953 and it awards undergraduates the bachelor of science degree. WSSU’s nursing program was ranked number 3 in the nation, and is continuing to grow and enhance the program. I have been given the chance to get into the nursing program, with the help from the Guaranteed Admission Program (GAP).
I believe the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Science, and the Arts is the right place to continue my studies, because I love how the classes are based on the U of A academic system and that ASMSA offers an opportunity to obtain advanced college level knowledge before high school graduation. That being said, ASMSA still has a college life atmosphere which I think prepares the students to be more adjusted to what real college will be like. I also enjoy the fact that your professors are eager to help at almost any given time. On top of that, ASMSA will teach me viable skills like researching skills, time management skills, and self-discipline, also it will give me the great privilege of graduating with at least 30 concurrent hours which will
I believe ASMSA is the right place for me to continue my studies. ASMSA will offer me many challenges that I am excited to overcome. I do not feel like I am challenged enough, so I will be looking forward to having these challenges. Also, I believe that ASMSA will provide me an environment that will be beneficial not only to my educational performance but also my life beyond High School. I believe that ASMSA will prepare me for college, as well as assist me in harnessing my skills and utilizing my interests so that I will lead a successful and happy life.
I want to be a part of the MAIP advertising industry because the program is a great way to promote the many cultures people have to offer. I not only have a lot to contribute to the advertising agency as a whole, but I will also help students who will be in my shoes by forming connections. I had to give up an internship last year because I had to help my family out financially while my father was unemployed. MAIP will give me another chance to prove myself in the advertising industry. I am ready to work hard and give everything I have to excel in the industry.
As an individual, I have always aimed to achieve superior accomplishments. Admission to the Illinois Math and Science Academy (IMSA) is one of such primary goals I hope to attain in my high school years. There will be so many new opportunities that unfold with acceptance to a school of such a high caliber. I will gain positive characteristics, which will allow me to take bigger strides to become more successful in life. Not only will I profit from attending this school, but I will also contribute to and enhance the school with a richness that is special to me.
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.
My admission to the Coast Guard Academy Scholars Program at Marion Military Institute (MMI) has provided me the exceptional academic opportunity to prepare me for success at the Academy this fall. MMI has emphasized the importance of skills such as teamwork, communication, and time-management in its curriculum. I consider these core competencies to be vital to be an effective future cadet and commissioned officer. By stressing the importance of teamwork and communication during my orientation and academic study, my fellow classmates and I forged a strong, collegial bond that will endure through the Academy and our future careers as officers. Learning the importance of teamwork and interpersonal communication helped us become more comfortable with our roles and responsibilities confiding with each other to help improve our team performance.
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.
ASMSA is the right place for me. If I am invited to attend ASMSA, I will be living, studying, and working with students from across Arkansas with different backgrounds that have interests and hobbies similar to my own. I will be taking accelerated courses provided by outstanding teachers at one of the nation’s top schools, and many of these courses align perfectly with my interests and career prospects. I will also have a new community of learning that I will be able to contribute to in multiple ways. The first reason ASMSA is the place for me to live, study, and work at is the community and environment.
Since gaining knowledge of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) it has fascinated me. Upon learning about this amazing opportunity my plans for the future changed. I had already planned the classes for all four years of high school but the opportunity to attend IMSA would be far more suitable for me and would bring far better learning experiences. I was beginning to normalize my plans for the future in comparison to that of my peers at Quincy Senior High School. I often hear my peers saying that they want to drop out as soon as they are legally able to.
The South Carolina Governor’s School for Science & Mathematics is proof that prosperity is a possibility for students who may not be where they intend to stay in their future. I wasn’t aware of the wonders that were possessed within the walls of the school until my friend Sam invited me to attend a SmarTalk session. I was amazed when I came to the realization that this school has the power to change my life, academics, and especially my future. I am drawn to become a student at SCGSSM to further: my academic interests. abilities, and talents.
Before long, I knew that was what I wanted to major in. I have been interested in ASL since I was a little kid, and even taught myself the alphabet, so it was not too much of a surprise to me that I enjoyed the class as much as I did. Within the course, we have studied the signs along with aspects of deaf culture, and the discussions in that class have shown me how truly important it is for people in the hearing world to communicate with the deaf and hard of hearing. We can learn any language we want, but the deaf
I want to be a physician because I want people to grow old. At the age of 6, one of my closest friends was diagnosed with leukemia. By age 8, the disease claimed his life, robbing him of the opportunity to experience the privilege of growing old. Unfortunately, we live in a society of vanity. We see the process of aging and choose not to embrace it.
My journey with music theory started long before I came to the US. After being an architect for eight years, I realized that the music discipline was more alluring than the hustle and bustle of a construction site, and I was slowly drawn into it. Subsequently, I became a piano teacher. My determination to become an effective piano teacher motivated me to keep learning and take the progressive piano exams. I managed to achieve an LRSM (Licentiate of The Royal School of Music) diploma in Piano Performing from the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music (London, UK) in 2004.
