I used to not take advantage of the opportunities given to me. However, after hearing the stories and troubles that my parents have faced, I realized that I had to take the initial steps towards completing my goals and dreams. Consequently, I’ve immersed myself into what I do as it helps me grow as a person and take the first leaps towards achieving my goals/dreams.
I’ve been exposed to science my entire life, an intriguing subject with mystery. Ever since I was little, my main desire/goal has been to pursue a career in the science field. This passion for science has flowered throughout my life, especially during high school as I have taken plenty of science courses while taking advantage of the more in-depth classes (AP classes).

I currently volunteer at Trinity River Mission (TRM) and Clements Hospital. At TRM, I teach children how to read and write while mentoring them in a way. Going there about two times a month, I always exit out happier than when I came in because it is very joyful to see that what I’m doing is helping this kid become a better version of himself. Realizing that I’m helping these children take the first step to success as I teach them something that will benefit them throughout life. At the Clements Hospital, I usually deliver food to the patients for two hours in the morning about five to seven times in a month. The work can be a little tedious or demanding, but seeing smiles on people’s faces is a huge reward for what I do. Seeing that I make these people happy, makes me incredibly joyful.
Moreover, my most desired goal is become a research scientist in the chemical engineering field as it allows me to do my passion as I help others on a global scale. Thus, getting an opportunity to get hands-on experience in a research oriented internship would be incredible as it will help me get a valuable taste in a field that I desire to pursue in the future. With the potential experience that I can gain from the program, I will know what to expect once I pursue my own career, and get an important head start on completing my dreams and

I volunteered at Lenoir Memorial Hospital the Summer of 2015. I received about 58 hours of community service. Ms. Ann Durusky is the Director of Volunteer Services at the hospital.

At first, I was sent with the lead volunteer of our group and a partner, until I was able to remember what procedures to take in different situations.

As a junior at River Valley I participated in the Marion General Teen Volunteer Program.

I soon made my way to the labor and delivery floor where everyday a miracle happened.

Often in life, we come across situations that may stretch us and challenge us, finding ourselves forced to get out of our comfort zone. Volunteering is definitely not for everyone, people may not have the adequate time, confidence, knowledge. But that does not mean you avoid the situation at all times, you must allow yourself to step out of your comfort zone and experience things that you would never think about doing. On the first week of volunteering it was a bit intense for me, as I found it difficult and little bit sad to watch the women living the way they do, for some reason I felt that they were always missing their children and grandchildren. Some of the residents did not even have family so they never got visitations.

Volunteering at McKenna Farms Therapy Services I was able to observe pediatric occupational therapy sessions. Not only did I get to observe Occupational Therapy sessions, but I observed Hippotherapy sessions too. What I found so unique about McKenna Farms is that they had Speech Therapist, Physical Therapist, and Occupational Therapist all together at one clinic. This allowed me to witness how the different types of therapy fit together and how the therapist would collaborate to find the best way to treat the children. My favorite part was finding ways to communicate with the kids.

To Graduate Committee Admission of Biochemistry and Cell Biology Program of Rice University: My inclination to study biology comes to me since I was little boy. I always found amazing the capabilities of living beings and mechanisms that allow life, development and evolution of organisms. Particularly interesting were my first approaches to microbiology in early classes in high school. My fascination by biological sciences was such that it led me to win the National Biology Contest held in Cuba, my native country in 2004. This was one of my first academic achievements in my short career and allowed me to directly enter the best pre-university school in my country.

INTRODUCTION For an educator to be successful at teaching their students, the teacher must be able to asses the individual students knowledge of a subject (Guskey, 2003, p6). The clinical interview is a useful tool for assessing a student’s individual knowledge, along with other aspects of the education process. An instructor who is conducting clinical interviews are will be able to recognize the students thought process and learning behaviors when it comes to solving a problem or explaining a process to complete a report (Ginsburg, 1997, p.147). Furthermore, the interview allows the instructor to recognize gaps in both the student’s knowledge and the instructors teaching methods.
