Abigail Colvin Mr. Sanders Chemistry II 12 May 2016 The Chemy Called Al Introduction Chemistry is the study of matter and its properties. Even though the term chemistry has not always existed, chemistry has always been a part of life and is essential to life. By understanding the basics of chemistry, many discoveries and inventions have been made that improve life.
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 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 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.
For as long as I can remember, I ve wanted to be a nurse. Helping people and seeing a good outcome from it has always been a dream of mine, it started when I was younger I saw my mom and grandma helping different people and nurturing them. Seeing how these people would smile and thank my family for helping them inspired me to choose this career. I love how even the uniform color could put a smile on a patient's face, or even simple things such as just seeing their caregiver. There was once a time when my grandma took me to work with her and although I didn t get to do much, just seeing the workers doing their best and putting their all into the job made me happy and very appreciative of them.
I have always been involved beyond the classroom with the schools I attend. I attended King Kekaulike High School in Maui. My freshman year, I was an active member in Interact club, a local service club. I was also on the junior varsity volleyball team and the girls varsity soccer team. I was the team captain for the girls varsity soccer team at KKHS both my junior and senior year.
Going to Barret Honors College at ASU would put me in a better position to be a global citizen. For the past four years, I have developed my programming and engineering skills by studying in my high school’s Computer Science and Electrical Engineering (CSEE) program. Though I value the engineering skills I have developed in CSEE, I am most grateful for the opportunity to work as a teacher’s assistant during CSEE’s Summer Robotics Program. CSEE’s Summer Robotics Program is a class designed to introduce and foster an appreciation for engineering in underrepresented middle school students. During class, I would help my teacher teach classes, answer questions, and assist students in their lab work.
Learning and Scholarship are critical values to all students, but throughout my time at ISU, I have gained a much deeper appreciation for the idea of being a lifelong learner. The programs for Special Education at ISU are some of the best and have offered me more ways to learn than I originally thought imaginable, and have inspired me to explore my educational possibilities in the future. Through my clinical experiences, coursework, and experiences outside of the classroom, I have gained a deeper appreciation for what it means to work in special education. I have decided that I will get a Masters in School Counseling and work as an academic advisor for special education students. Through this path, I will be able to continue learning more and
Next fall I will be fresh out of high school and I hope to study at Indiana University, because IU has an excellent medical science program. This is why IU’s medical program is the best choice for my academic and career plans for the future. My academic plans as an undergraduate at Indiana University are to study medical laboratory science. I have chosen to study in medical laboratory science because I have always loved science and discovered that I wanted to pursue a future career in a medical lab while taking a course called the principles of biomedical science my junior year. Another major that major that Indiana University offers that interest me is scientific research; this major interest me because of the possibility of making a new discovery
While pursuing dual degrees in chemistry and French, I have discovered the indispensable value of a Liberal Arts education. I have had the privilege of receiving a comprehensive and well-rounded education at IUPUI by studying the sciences and humanities. The cross-disciplinary connections between the hard sciences and the arts have been nothing short of remarkable; gaining such an extensive perspective about the world in which we live has ignited a passion for both learning and life itself. It is my observation that my Liberal Arts education has benefited me academically, socially, and personally. Upon graduating from IUPUI, I will be receiving a Bachelor of Arts in French and a minor in philosophy from the School of Liberal Arts.
In addition to studying general chemistry, I can focus on how materials affect the environment, my ultimate goal. Furthermore, in order to complete liberal arts requirements, I will be able to complete courses outside of Engineering in Penn’s
Pre-AP Chemistry soon began my favorite class, rather than my least favorite as it had been during the beginning of the year, and I began to look forward to learning chemistry. At the end of the year, I was proud to receive an A for the second
I feel confident in my future plan for a couple reasons. First of all, the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology’s Introducing talk provided a great deal of information on the
I have a vision of the world, in which technology will serve both mankinds’ ever growing dependence for energy, and our planet's delicate ecosystems. I will be applying to the Chemical Engineering (CHEN) undergraduate program at Texas A&M University for the Fall 2016 semester. The passion I have for both chemistry and the art of engineering is the reason I have chosen to pursue a career in Chemical Engineering. Through a mastery of this field, I believe that I will be able to pursue my true passion of green energy development. After completing my Associates in Business Administration at Northwest Vista, I found myself working for a construction company that specialized in waterproofing.
Upon completing my AS studies I became the only remaining Chemistry student in my year group. While continuing to attend Gateacre to accomplish results in my other subjects, I am now commuting between Gateacre and another local school to ensure I can complete my Chemistry A2 course; as I am determined to succeed in this subject. I feel that Physics has encouraged me to develop my communication skills and logical thinking; Mathematics gave me problem solving and data manipulation techniques; whilst Geography enabled me to improve my essay writing abilities and data handling skills. These are the many transferable skills I have gained all of which are vital aspects of studying chemistry at
