EMU Personal Statement

475 Words2 Pages

I can’t really say when I fell in love with math. I guess it’s a passion that’s always been there. It’s something a lot of people can’t understand. It’s applicable, logical, and (in my opinion) fun. When I walked across the stage for high school graduation, I wasn’t completely sure where I was heading with my education, but I knew it would have something to do with math. That’s how I ended up as a mathematics major at Eastern Michigan University. I’ve finally narrowed down what branch of mathematics I want to pursue: Statistics. In high school my favorite class I ever took was AP statistics, and I have fun analyzing data. I am currently taking the handful of mid-level statistic course EMU has to offer, but it doesn’t fully prepare me for the field I wish to enter. As EMU does not offer a major in statistics, I am interested in transferring to a college with a statistics program, with specialized faculty who could assist me more on my path. …show more content…

I’ve made the most of what I have, but now it’s time for me to move on to a new school that meets my needs and can help me accomplish my academic goals. I found that my best fit is the University of Michigan. By the end of this academic year, I will have taken half the statistics courses EMU has to offer. U of M offers twice as many courses in statistics, which would help me greatly. There is even a class introducing the basics of biostatistics. The medical field has always interested me, but my strength is in numbers. biostatistics would be a way to meet in the middle. In the future I hope to pursue a master's program in

I remember enjoying the timed multiplication tests that my class had to take back in elementary school. As I got older, math continued to interest me. I excelled in Algebra I and Geometry.

While I have always performed well in math, I really enjoyed the science classes that I took, especially AP Biology and Honors Biology. From a young age, I have always held a special interest in the complexities of the human anatomy and the functions of each part of the body. What I learned in Honors and AP Biology gave me a greater respect for the intricacies of living organisms and inspired me to further improve my understanding of the human body . In pursuit of my goal, I focused on medicine and related subjects in my academics. I studied biology extensively as a part of my school’s Academic Decathlon team and AP Biology classes, paying extra attention to subjects related to medicine such as anatomy and physiology.

Unfortunately, my lackluster performance my first-year results in Florida State University’s adjusted overall GPA of 2.883, just shy of your desired 3.0. I expect that 2.883 will be bumped yet higher after I complete my inaugural semester at FSU; at midterms I currently have 4 A’s and 2 B’s. This semester I have focused on taking many Sociology courses and an Environmental Science Lab which provide much insight into society and engaging with people on local levels and how to complete a line transect (even if it is virtual), skills that are crucial to success of the projects at the NSF REU site. Next semester I am taking a heavy course load in Geography including GEO 4210 (Landforms and Landscapes), GEO 4300 (Biogeography), GIS 2040 (Essentials of GIS), and SYA 4300 (Methods of Sociological Research), with the experience at the NSF REU site as a

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.

When there is a health problem in society, someone usually asks, “Have you seen a doctor? Doctors have the most clinical responsibility to provide comfort and care for patients. In addition, doctors are the last defense to protect someone from passing away. While doctors create profound changes in individuals lives, there are many healthcare problems linked to social, class, and racial inequality. I have witnessed this through my involvement in research and the personal interactions I have had with patients at my job.

Ever since I was a child I have always wanted to help the community and initially the only way I knew how to do this was by getting involved in the medical field with the desire of becoming a doctor. My life has mostly reflected this by attending the University of Nevada, Reno with an undergraduate degree in Biology, involving myself in the school’s pre-med fraternity and becoming a teaching assistant for Biology Labs. However, after graduation, I wanted real-world experience before committing myself to the 4+ laborious years of medical school. For the past year, I have worked for the local Emergency Medical Services, REMSA, as an EMT. Being an EMT has completely changed the idea of how I see my future.

Prohibition in 1920s The Prohibition era in the United States, which lasted from 1920 to 1933, saw the ban on the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol in the country. However, this did not stop Americans from finding ways to consume alcohol. The Great Gatsby, a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, set in the Roaring Twenties, provides a vivid depiction of how people's rebellious behavior during this time period, particularly the wealthy elite who often flaunted the law and engaged in illegal activities towards the Prohibition era is reflected in the book.

I have always been the type of person who wants to help those around me. I only understood how to achieve this by following in my family’s footsteps and devoting my life to the medical field. For the past couple of years, I have made progress toward these goals by obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and working as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). Working in the field as an EMT has significantly changed my outlook on my future career and has shown me that mental health is my true passion. My experiences as an EMT have shown me that many people in our community silently struggle with mental health crises and feel unable to ask for help due to societal stigmas, limited availability/resources, financial burdens, or other deterring obstacles.

I quickly became obsessed with math while reading my sister's copy of CliffsNotes Algebra I out of curiosity. Being a fourth grader, I wasn't even sure what it was exactly that made math so fascinating to me - all I knew was that it made me happy and satisfied, so I continued to dazzle myself with fractional exponents, polynomial division, and quadratic equations. I soon found myself using more and more of my free time to learn math. My love of math grew exponentially throughout middle and high school.
