First, I believe by obtaining my Master in Theology from Liberty University it has helped me develop a stronger and deeper understanding of God’s word. My studies at Liberty have set me up for success in the Doctorate Program at Liberty. Liberty seminary staff has very knowledge staff and motivates their students to excel in their studies and gain a full understanding God’s word. The instructors at the Rawley’s Seminary school has a great depth of knowledge and wants the seminary students to gain a deeper understanding of God’s word to be able to minster to other people around the world. We need strong Christian based teachers to educate not only the Churches, but the entire world on why we need to believe in our living God.
At Rutgers-Camden, multicultural events surround you and you just learn to not only embrace but appreciate them. I’m pretty sure no other University has an annual “Masala Madness” and I think that is one of the unique features of Rutgers-Camden. This encouraged and helped me to gain a broader world view and understanding of other cultures which I have come to find is so important in our world today. This experience at Rutgers-Camden will be essential to my success as a nurse because I will be expected to empathize with patients from all walks of
Rutgers Rutgers University has over 250 years of academic excellence, which attracts the top minds from around the world. Earning a degree from Rutgers University entails a student like me to do more than just learn a subject; I would master my interest of studies. Enrolling into Rutgers University would give me advantages that other university students do not have access to. That advantage being access to professors that take pride in the research they conduct within their specified fields. An education from Rutgers would entail me to participate and excel in programs that are tailored to bring success to students entering the agricultural industry.
My experience at Rutgers University has truly been like no other. As I reminisce on the lessons I have learned, the people I have interacted with, and the pieces of myself that I have discovered, the thought of graduating has ignited my yearning to accomplish the most I can in this life. As an aspiring Communications major, I aim to make the world a better place by bringing people together. As the youngest child of three, observing the tendencies of the people around me, along with how they behaved and communicated, was something that I naturally had to familiarize myself with as I grew older. The most notable thing that I learned growing up is that most of the problems between people, and in the world in general, usually stem from one thing:
In my town, Scarsdale, NY never really provides a way to experience diversity. It's a monocultural town which consist of predominately white-jewish kids. This makes me cherish the opportunities that I do have to meet new different people, and experience other cultures. This is one of the main reasons I want to switch coasts of the US. The fact that there is such a cultural discrepancy between the east coast and the west coast is something that is really exciting to me.
One of my favorite parts of Rutgers University is the ability to meet people that may live only 20 minutes away but have experiences that are a complete contrast to your own. During my first-year at Rutgers University I thought I knew what diversity was, I was raised in Jersey City, one of the most diverse cities in the nation, so when I came to Rutgers I did not expect to find more diversity. At Rutgers, I have had the opportunity to meet people that are not just diverse in culture but also in age and experience. Here I have met a non-traditional student who graduated almost a decade ago and came back to get a second degree after finding a new passion. I have had the opportunity to grow closer with intriguing people such as a triplet, a professional photographer, and a professor who is deaf but defied the odds
Being an immigrant and first generation college student, I took the time to think about what I want. My counselor recommended SCU because of the high quality of the education. SCU is a very competitive college in California. I was looking for the school that offer good engineering major, a comfortable learning environment, and location; SCU provide what I need. Because San Jose is close to my home in Seattle, I can continue to help to family.
Currently I’m in Pittsburgh, Pa, employed as an IT Analyst for a reputable client. My work space is good and colleagues have warm personality which makes my days easy. I have been well accepted by my client and they want me to do better. I, myself want to do better and keep the momentum going. I’m learning so much as I’m working through my way to achieve my goals.
I have always had the desire to find a career that enabled me to help others improve their quality of life. Growing up with my father as an elementary school teacher, I witnessed first-hand the positive influence you can have on a child’s life, as well as their future. He always stressed that each student is an individual, not just a number. Early on, I learned that every child is far more than their standardized test scores. Even though I felt the draw to work with children, I knew that little reward came from the hard work of being a regular classroom teacher.
Why NYU? Well, when I arrived in the U.S. at the age of 10, people kept mentioning the countless opportunities available to me here in New York. One of the ideas that truly caught my attention was the notion that, with hard work, I could one day attend NYU. I didn’t truly understand why NYU was so special but the notion resonated with me throughout the years. Now, though, in my senior year, I truly understand what that notion means.
Diversity has given me a strong determination to face any new challenge confidently. Every move was unique in its own way. I have understood that beneath every culture, people are the same and that each culture presents a new perspective, new life style and a rich learning experience. With this outlook on diversity, I am confident that I can blend with the student community from all over the world. I would focus on human values of the people I meet and endeavor to promote thought
I have been surrounded by books all my life, that makes me one of the lucky ones as I developed an appreciation for books, information, and stories at an early age. Birthdays, Christmas, every holiday was an excuse for my grandfather or another relative to give me a book. My room contained multiple book shelves that needed frequent weeding, due to the lack of space for newer arrivals. I believed, due to my love of reading, that I was meant to become a writer, and some writing awards in my high school years supported that. However, four years of getting my Bachelor degree in English (with an emphasis in Creative Writing) only taught me that I love books and that I am an excellent tutor to my peers and children.
NYU has delivered solace to my life over the past years. When thinking about NYU, I receive the upmost amount of aspiration. I dream to prosper there; I dream to grow there: academically and spiritually. This school is beyond a cinch for me; this is a struggle, both internal and external, that I am hoping to conquer. I have worked extremely hard during my high school years to provide myself with a strong framework to enable myself to prosper in my future endeavors.
I am interested in applying for The John and Margaret O'Connell Memorial Scholarship for University of Massachusetts Amherst students who are residents of Norwood. I have decided to attend the University of Massachusetts Amherst because of the amazing musical opportunities they have to offer. I am extremely interested in participating in all of the ensembles at the University of Massachusetts Amherst such as the Minuteman Marching Band, the Wind Ensemble and the Orchestra. I plan to major in Music Education in the fall of 2016, and I intend to obtain a master’s degree in this field.
One of the reasons Penn. State University is a primary candidate for my future studies is the diversity of the student populace, as I believe the number of unique cultures and peoples represented throughout the institution will be beneficial to myself and my peers. For most of my life, I have lived as the son of a member of the United States Air Force, and the diversity in the places that I have lived and the diversity of the people who lived there have deeply shaped my life. People of different religions, different races, and different heritages have lived around me throughout most of my life, and their ideas and ideals have influenced me. However, I realized how much I had taken cultural diversity for granted once my father retired from the Air Force and moved to our current location.
