Introduction As a student that earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology, I have always had an interest in science, research, and health. Because of this general interest in all living things, and how they interact with each other, most of my adult life has been spent working in healthcare settings, trying to figure out where and how to use this knowledge. I took a short break after earning my Bachelors degree before deciding to work towards my Masters degree. During this break, I became increasingly interested in environmental issues, such as the safety of the food I feed my family, climate change, pollution issues, and the spread of diseases.
Fast forward again, now I am an environmental professional with ten years experience that began as a Hydrologist III, then a Project Manager and now as Program Manager for a municipal water department. This progression in responsibility led to where I am today and why I believe I am an excellent candidate for your graduate program. My responsibilities as an environmental regulator has been focused mainly on protecting both surface water and groundwater quality at both the State and local levels. The protection is afforded based on the federal requirements of the Clean Water Act, state law based on the Arizona Administrative Code Title 18 and municipal code if applicable.
Georgia State University is known as one of the largest accredited MPH programs that is geared in providing a broad practical understanding of complex health issues and is known as one and one of the most diverse university in the Southeast. Upon seeking a Campus for my higher education, I desire to enroll in the Masters Of public Health with a concentration in Environmental health at Georgia State University. The reason is because I desire to acquire more knowledge and skills to further my career. My Ultimate goal is to build a career in the Environmental health field working on programs which would aim in addressing issues that affect the health of numerous different community, which would bring solutions that would resolve some these environmental health factors. Also opening a nonprofit organization that services in bringing clean water to improvised countries around the world.
I regard the STEM Academy as an extremely positive program that will significantly help my peers and myself in the future. Science has many stimulating topics that have helped our world to advance. The STEM program will definitely push me towards the science aspects of life, allowing me to become more educated in the subject. I hope to be able to join the STEM academy to gain more knowledge in the fields of science and math, to be able to collaborate with others more efficiently, work independently, and to be triumphant in being the best student I can. I want to achieve beyond what is expected in an average student and expand on all my skills.
As a result, I chose to double major in Biomedical Science and Global Health. I know these majors will prepare me for a career in the medical field. I hope to continue to thrive at ASU in these programs. As an undergraduate at ASU, I hope to continue doing meaningful research.
Nicholas Sora The reason I attend ASU is because I am fueled by visions of a prestigious education, exposure to research and intern opportunities, capped with a chance to excel in a variety of sports and creative outlets. Having lived in Tucson Arizona I have grown use to the heat and have embraced it as part of Arizonian culture. Nothing more epitomizes my dreams more than attending ASU. ASU offers flexibility to nourish my science/engineering background, while supporting my creative mind.
Single Parent to Graduate Student Enrolling in Northcentral University, NCU to obtain my graduate degree in education is one of accomplishment and a new beginning to a new career. I have always had a passion for indifference, injustice, and making a difference. I have an associate’s degree in computer science and a bachelor’s degree in Human and Family Services. I went from having a degree in computer science to a human service degree because of a family tragedy that made me evaluate my purpose in life as an individual. I am currently a case manager with a mental health/mental retardation organization and a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer.
I understood at a young age that success only comes through hard work and perseverance. My father always said that to be successful in college it takes 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. My collegiate studies at the University of Arizona have provided a firm foundation in knowledge on conserving our natural resources. Pursuing a Master’s degree will help increase my understanding to the next level and discover novel solutions to impending natural resource
I look forward to helping students to develop a drive for personal academic excellence and a rich perspective on the world around them as they explore links between the individual, society, and the natural world. The potential of secondary geography is to stimulate an interest in the wider world through learning knowledge, both in and beyond the classroom, and acquiring geographical and transferable skills to last a lifetime. I am currently studying a broad-based geography degree ranging from economic to cultural geography, but also including staples of classroom geography including development, coastal processes and volcanology. My subject knowledge is strong and wide-ranging and aligned to both current GCSE and A-Level specifications and
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.
It is not just the fact that the world is dangered; it is the fact that our future is at stake because of global warming and fossil fuels. When studying environmental science, I became more self-conscious of the things I do that affect the environment. This habit began to flourish as I became more empathetic about everything. From the succulents in my bedroom to the people I came into contact with every day. I was determined to create a mindset in which empathy can help you appreciate much more.
Call me an environmental advocate for New York. My passion for earth science and the environment has been heavily influenced by Bill Nye, Philippe Cousteau and natural philosophers who can be classified as scientists. My philosophical approach on science and the environment is one in which everyone should study and analyze facts, and obtain valid data before making assumptions. While my ecological footprint is small, my hopes in coming up with solutions to fight climate change, deforestation, species extinction, and unfortunately so much more.
• Why do you believe that a career or graduate school related to STEM (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) is right for you? A career in STEM is right for me because my interest in biology could help to improve the well-being of people and advance our country. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are the overlying foundations needed for the development of every nation.
As a dreamer and queer woman of color, pursuing a career in STEM has been quite challenging. But I have never let anything get in the way of reaching my goals and dreams. I have swam against the current in order to be where I am today, where I have dreamt of being. I am currently a second year student at Trinity Washington University majoring in biochemistry and minoring in mathematics. I am a dedicated student and an analytical and skilled critical thinker who is eager to learn.
Plato’s short story the Allegory of the Cave, Plato portrays a scene in a cave to the reader that analyzes human actions. The story is about a group of men that are chained for their entire life. The only thing they are exposed to are shadows on the wall of a fire burning by people behind them. The people exposing these men are hiding the truth of the outside world. Plato reveals that humans are easily fooled into believing what they see.
