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.
Immediately after graduating from Riverdale High School in 2009, I started my undergraduate career at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). Upon entrance to MTSU, I believed that my career path was in the field of pharmacy. I envisioned graduating from MTSU after only four years and would be directly on to pharmacy school thereafter. Towards the middle of the first semester, I quickly realized that this would not be the career path for me. I cut back on my course load and worked diligently to finish the semester.
I am interested in MTSU because of the dynamic opportunities offered to students, and its well known reputation for high academic standards. I aspire to continue my education by attending MTSU and take part in one of the many internship programs provided to students. I would like to utilize this aspect to enhance my overall learning experience as well as implement my skills. The diversity of programs and majors offered have opened my mind to multiple opportunities for furthering my education. As a high school senior, my involvement in school has helped me establish strong relations with both the student body and faculty.
Growing up on a small cattle operation in central Oklahoma, my parents quickly instilled in me a love for the agricultural way of life, and that passion is what led me to become the 13th person in my family to attend Oklahoma State University. While my background and experiences are not very unique when compared to many of my great friends and classmates at OSU, my upbringing served as a motivation to excel and succeed in all of my endeavors and pursue a career in agricultural law. Coming from a small school, I had very limited opportunities to involve myself in extracurricular activities. Naturally, I felt like a kid in a candy shop when I first stepped onto campus and applied to be in many organizations throughout my first year. I strived
My job as a patient care technician allowed me to care for numerous individuals from a variety of backgrounds. Through this experience, I came to the realization that I loved people. I loved hearing their stories and the secret hopes and fears they would share with me in the dead of the night. I realized that I wanted to have a career where I could not only help people, but learn from them as well. I believe a career in the healthcare field would allow me to do this.
The majority of my life has been spent placing critical life events and accomplishments onto a timeline. For instance, it has been twenty-one years since I first wrapped my teddy bears in bandages and diagnosed their illnesses. It has been eleven years since I decided to become a nurse. It has been seven years since I was first admitted to Texas A&M University and struggled with the pressures of doing well in college while balancing a personal and family life. It has been almost three years since I last stepped foot on Texas A&M soil.
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.
The University of Maryland- College Park satisfies my desire for a particular part of learning, community, and future because the mission is to provide excellent teaching, research, and service.

Can you imagine always being sixth out of seventh place? Of course, I always strive to be in first place, but in the case of my siblings, I’m the sixth born. Growing up in Fort Worth, Texas, my single mother always motivated us to read and study and do our homework. As a young child, I was extremely curious. My oldest siblings often recited the “curiosity killed the cat” saying to me because I would often be found taking the eMachines desktop apart and reassembling it.
While I was searching for colleges during my senior year, Arizona State University was the first college that caught my attention. My sister, Ranine is currently a junior at ASU and has loved it ever since she stepped foot on campus. Her love for ASU greatly encouraged me to look further into attending ASU. After going on the campus tour and speaking to students, I officially decided that I wanted to be a Sun Devil. Choosing a major was hard for me because I struggled between wanted to major in psychology, getting on the path to be an orthodontist, or attending W.P Carey School of Business.
I am Keely Britton and I am enrolled in the Auburn University Adult Education, School of Educational Foundations Leadership and Technology (EFLT) doctoral program. I am writing as a result of speaking extensively with Dr. Gary Waters concerning an assistantship in the athletics department. I am available right away and feel that there exists a perfect fit due to my work experiences, current extracurricular involvement, and personal participation in a comprehensive enhancement program. While on faculty at Florida A&M University I trained approximately fifty graduate students who in turn instructed approximately three hundred seventy-five freshmen in the art of developing mind power by using advanced memory systems and techniques. However, superior speed-reading and comprehension skills buttressed memory training, therefore speed-reading and comprehension training preceded memory training.
I believe as a returning student to ISU, I had a unique experience in the class. I graduated with a degree in Child, Adult, and Family Services in May and decided that teaching was my true passion so I returned to Iowa State to begin earning that degree. I have worked for about four years for United Community Schools as a Lead Childcare Associate and as a Substitute Associate in both preschool and special education. Additionally, I have spent time as a Special Education Associate in Ankeny and have volunteered in Ames Community School District Classrooms. With my experience, I have spent a lot of time in schools and in classrooms.
I have always been involved beyond the classroom with the schools I attend. I attended King Kekaulike High School in Maui. My freshman year, I was an active member in Interact club, a local service club. I was also on the junior varsity volleyball team and the girls varsity soccer team. I was the team captain for the girls varsity soccer team at KKHS both my junior and senior year.
Statement of Intent Since I was a little girl, all I wanted to do was make a difference in the world. It was very frustrating living in a small, rural farm town in Ohio, where putting in just a small amount of effort earned me weekly spots on the front page of the local newspaper. Out of my entire graduating class, I was the only student to pioneer forth and venture out of the tristate area. Granted, it was not an easy transition; moving across the country at 18 with little background knowledge of my destination definitely took its toll on me my freshman year.
My time at Texas A&M University has been one of the most demanding, yet most rewarding time of my life yet. Having been born in rural Mexico, it never crossed my mind that one day I would be on my way to becoming a professional, even less that I would be obtaining a degree in Aerospace Engineering. My grandfather, who did not have a formal education, worked as a laborer and would earn the equivalent of $8 or less per day. As a kid, I always imagined that I would become a worker like him, but I never saw it as a bad thing. Although uneducated, my grandfather taught me about work ethic, told me to do my best at any job, and to finish what I start.
