I am grateful to experience what it is like to have an extraordinary employer. Not many people can say they had the chance to work for someone who is not only a strong leader, but an exceptional mentor. I had the pleasure of working as a Residential Assistance for Mr. Joseph at Florida Memorial University for a year, and I could not have asked for a better experience. His dedication and passion for the students at Florida Memorial University was refreshing and uplifting. In Residential Life, our main focus was the residence’s housing experience; however, Mr. Joseph sincerely cared about each student’s wellbeing and success.
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).
The Articles of Confederation and the Constitution of the United States are in some cases the same in many ways. We can assume that the Constitution is the extension of the Articles of Confederation which can be considered as the first Constitution of the United States. The Articles of Confederation were adopted in 1777 and were the combination of 13 states that includes New Hampshire, Massachusetts-bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. By the 1787 the Constitution replaced these articles, which is the existing Constitution of the United States of America.
Similar to other immigrants my family history is somewhat compelling. Starting with my grandfather who was exiled out of Egypt in 1959 primarily as a result of the "decolonization process and the rise of Egyptian nationalism”, my immediate family and I also left France in 2004 as a result of rising tension against Jews. The migration of my grandparents and parents, from a young age, cultivated a sense of determination in me to overcome obstacles. Arriving in Miami at age 5, I had to learned my third language, English, in order to attend school. I was determined to and successfully lost my accent and got tested into the gifted program after a year of school.
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.
There is no one quite like Jessica Watts, or as many know her: JWatts. Over the past year, JWatts has impacted the University of Iowa’s campus with her inclusion, affirmations, and new ideas. JWatts sees the leader in you before you even see the leader in you. Without JWatts I would not be the leader I am today and I will be forever grateful.
As a hopeful future undergraduate at IUPUI, I am eager to participate in the nursing program. Currently I am taking a class at my high school that will allow me to become a certified nursing assistant if I pass the state exam. Although I have only started this school year, I can tell that I have found my passion through nursing. With this simple goal, I plan to focus on my school work and dedicate my time at IUPUI. Besides the school aspect, I also want to participate in numerous extracurricular activities offered.
I see myself being an engaged member of the WCU and Brinson Honors College community by being involved in community service opportunities, becoming a member of leadership organizations, and taking advantage of opportunities to study and serve in a different country or to participate in undergraduate studies. I plan to be engaged in the WCU community by being involved in all that I can be involved in. Specifically, I hope to become involved in at least one of the faith-based groups on campus, such as the Baptist Student Fellowship at WCU or the Campus Crusade for Christ. Becoming involved in faith-based organizations is important to me and will allow me to love God and love people better by learning more about God and participating in service projects that will share his love and truth. Additionally, I want to join a local Church family, where I hope to serve in various aspects of the Church, especially those that involve children, something that I am passionate about.

I am interested in working with The YWCA of Greater Atlanta for several reasons. The mission of the YWCA of eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting justice for all resonated with me because as a Black woman in America these issues are salient to the success of people like me. As an American Studies major, I have dedicated my academic career to studying race relations in America. Both my course work and my daily experiences as I attempt to navigate a world in which whiteness is the transcendental norm have exemplified how important it is for students to work towards eradicating issues of racial injustice. As a future educator in urban schooling I will be working against the ways systemic racism affect the educational outcomes and lives of my students.

The Reedy Independent Study and Mentorship (ISM) Program is a course that provides students many opportunities to learn and discover what different aspects of a career field is like. Students in this course have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have a mentor and do research in their interested field before entering college.

In Adams’ quote, he reasons that there are two ideas of an education, one that gives skills and resources to get a job, and another that teaches individuals how to live a fulfilling a life. To me, this quote represents two corresponding outlooks on my own education. I believe that in order to be happy and successful it is important to take these two educations and maximize their potential. In order to learn to make a living you must take advantage of all opportunities in a class, internship, or extracurricular activity. Another major component of learning how to make a living is through networking, where students make social connections with other professionals enrich their present or future careers.
Although I will be completing my undergraduate career in three years, with a 146 college credits and a 3.86 GPA, I have taken numerous quantitative courses not required for my undergraduate degree. I took Accounting Information Systems (AIS) which requires the understanding of accounting principles to covert those into systems an end user can utilize. As an Accounting Intern at Enterprise Holdings, I used the tools from my AIS class to research general ledger accounts, especially the bad debt. Knowing excel functions like VLOOKUP or knowing how to create pivot tables allowed me to more efficiently figure out what entries were affecting bad debt and why the entries were made. I also took a Database Management Systems class in which we learned
