Dsa Personal Statement

The most important endeavor a person can undertake is to contribute to the lives of others. As we encourage and console, we contribute to human success. Without nourishing positive human interaction, we stunt the ability of others to give to the world, thereby disadvantaging our global society. Thus, it is important to me to search for ways to develop my intrapersonal skills so that I might serve others, prevent or soothe distress, and potentially save a life.

My life has prepared me well for a future in helping others. Having overcome multiple instances of emotional abuse and four years of social isolation, abuse few adults have gone through, I have developed great compassion for others. Since my first mental health diagnosis at age 12, I

Throughout my time in the class, I learned various strategies, most notably PBIS, to help the children become more successful in the school environment and at their homes as well.

Because of this, I am sure working with people who have their own struggles and challenges is what I want to do with my future.
