I am interest in working abroad with an organization that responds to basic needs and encourages peace. My curiosity in these particular fields of study grew stronger when I joined international club at my high school and continued to grow through a cultural experience I had when I spent a month traveling around Europe. Although I have always had some root in pacifism, as a Mennonite, I have recently connected to this idea and have found this world view increasingly compelling. Classes like “World History II” and “Restorative Justice: Theory and Practice,” here at Bluffton, continue to inspire and confirm my desire to work in a field focusing on issues of peace, justice, and development. Bluffton University has many classes that can help me
I will be attending graduate school in order to further develop my interest in clinical psychology that has been fostered during my undergraduate years. I anticipate to receive my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology during the summer of 2017 from Hunter College. I am especially interested in researching about the vulnerability factors that influence individuals’ susceptibilities to psychosomatic disorders, anxiety disorders, as well as psychopathologies. Ultimately, I seek to be in a research position along with being trained as a clinical therapist. Further along the line, I intend on becoming a professor, and to inspire new generations of students to become motivated and interested in psychology just as my professors inspired me.
“Every once in a while, a new technology, an old problem, and a big idea turn into innovation” this quote by Dean Kamen explains that when there is a problem we create new technology to solve this problem, and when we create new technology we have innovation. This was like the 1920’s as problem turned into innovation. The 1920’s was a time of advancement from new inventions used in and outside the home, to technology that changed everyday life which impacted the decades to come. The 1920’s was a decade of numerous advancements “that shaped the future and impacted decades to come” (Alchin).
My desire to help students in Mississippi stems from my personal experience as a student in Mississippi College. Through volunteering as a member of the Balancing The Deficit and engaging faculty and students who are native to the area, I had many interactions with Mississippians and saw the genuine kindness in them. Through those interactions, I learned to appreciate their hospitality and down-to-earth attitude. My affection toward people in Mississippi grew tremendously while in school, and I decided to serve the community after I graduate. I want to serve the community as a peer educator so that I can help teenagers in Mississippi develop good studying habits and help them find purpose and, more importantly, success in their studying
The standards of a Sterling Scholar, scholarship, citizenship and leadership have been exemplified in the way I have conducted my life through the following examples. I have never really excelled in academics. I believe learning the information is far more important than getting a good grade. Math, Science, and English are not my strong suits, but I’ve always loved working with computers. From a young age I’ve always been fascinated with technology and how it helps us advance as a society.
While I was searching for the college I wanted to begin the next part of my life in, I decided I wanted to attend an HBCU that was in a large city. Not only does Howard University fulfill both of these, but Howard also has all of my passions and interests in and outside of the classroom. I am interested in pursuing a Sociology degree within The College of Arts and Sciences. I want to organize my studies with a focus around the black community and urban development. The required and elective courses such as Problems in the Black Community within Howard’s Sociology curriculum will allow me to shape my classes to do this.
How to get into NIU We know that competition held in the college admissions process is tough. With an uprising amount of high school seniors applying to college each year, we understand that universities have progressively gotten competitive. Our faculty was kind enough to offer a glimpse of the Northern Illinois University decision-making process to ease students who are deeply interested in becoming a Huskie. To ensure that you are a part of the lucky fifty-two percent of accepted applicants, it is suggested to maintain a good standardized test score. We have a significant emphasis for incoming freshmen when it comes to ACT and SAT scores.
Growing up in a Christian household has nurtured my walk with God throughout my life. Since a young age, I have known God as my personal savior, but my faith and trust in Him have grown over the past several years. This past summer, I took part in a worship leader internship program at our church, which provided me with the opportunity to plan and lead worship services. Participating in this program helped me grow closer to God, but it also taught me how to be a leader rather than a follower. As God continues revealing His plan for my life, I feel called to attend Verity and to pursue my passion with a career in law enforcement.
In addition to the grade point average of students, an individual should be respectable, intelligent, and mature to gain acceptance into National Honor Society. National Honor Society is a widely renowned group that only the top candidates should be admitted to, not just for academic achievement, but for being a genuinely good person. Not only do I believe that I portray these qualities, but I have much more to offer, therefore, I should be considered for admission. Scholarship can be shown in many ways, and is not only limited by grade point average. To me, scholarship can be defined as someone excelling in school by trying their hardest and making an attempt to educate themselves to the best of their ability.
I should be selected as a Senate Youth Delegate from Missouri for many reasons, including the numerous leadership positions I’ve held and am currently holding, such as being the president of my high school’s National Honor Society, the Junior Class President, a 4-year member of student council, and the section leader of the drumline in my high school’s band. I have been able to build myself as a person through leadership and hard work, and I value both of these characteristics deeply, as they largely determine how others see and respect me. additionally, these experiences and positions have allowed me to truly determine that my leadership and hard work define who I am as a person, and I cherish those characteristics above all others. I believe
Ever since grade school, I was passionate about working in the field of medicine, and science. I enjoyed anatomy, medical spelling and terminology, and reading about the healthcare industry. Because of my passion for healthcare, I decided to to attend Health Sciences High. There, I was given the best opportunities, such as, medical internships and college health courses. My plans and goals had turned me into a mature young adult.
In many ways, the way one must conduct research is the way I want to lead my life. For that reason, I plan to attend graduate school to obtain my PhD in Neuroscience so that I may continue conducting
I am currently an undergraduate at Rowan College at Gloucester County completing my pre-nursing studies. As I was growing up, I always enjoyed the idea of helping and healing others. My inspiration to become a nurse was watching my mother make a difference in the lives of elderly at a local senior living community as an Activities Assistant for years. Even though, she was unable to go back to school due to personal circumstances, the compassion she showed towards others around her was something special as she took care of them as if they were relatives. Whenever I had free time, I would just sit and play a game with the elderly residents hearing their life stories from when they were young.
One of the things that first drew me to the University of Georgia was its renowned honors program, and now that I have fallen in love with the university and with Athens, I desire greatly to be a part of this impressive program. If accepted, I hope to benefit from the program’s research and internship opportunities, and boundless connections that which prepare me greatly for graduate school and the work force after UGA. Entering into the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences as a freshman this coming fall, I have an immense fascination with physical and life sciences such as physics, chemistry and biochemistry that I hope to greater explore in my first few semesters on campus. As an upcoming woman of science, I know that I can benefit markedly from the internship and research opportunities that the honors program offers.
I experienced no moment of divine intervention, nor followed the example of a respected relative’s career, my career development decision making was based on a gradual recognition that nursing would be the perfect vocation for me. I have come to realise that nurses are faced with considerable emotional and professional demands, taking responsibility for the quality of people’s lives, which can be seen as a major challenge. I believe I am a person who welcomes, enjoys and would embrace this challenge. My main source of inspiration to become a nurse comes from an innate desire in making a positive difference in people’s lives. I am fascinated by all aspects of nursing and I want to go on to expand my knowledge and develop my transferable skills and ability in caring for others.
