I am an active member in a wide variety of activities. I am very involved in 4-H and FFA. Through these clubs, I have participated in many community service projects. I work hard in the classroom and I’m very goal driven. I have a 3.14 GPA, and I strive to do better each and every day.
As a low-income, first-generation Mexican American/college graduate, my personal identities and experiences uniquely position me to contribute to RFU’s diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts (DEI). Through my journey, I have encountered various challenges and triumphs that have shaped my perspective and deepened my commitment to promoting DEI in healthcare and beyond. My lived experience growing up in an economically disadvantaged and medically underserved community has heightened my awareness of the healthcare disparities and inequities that exist, especially being raised in a traditional Hispanic household. It has fueled my passion to address these issues and advocate for accessible, culturally sensitive, and equitable healthcare.
In life I have had many hobbies such as being active in sports such as volleyball and basketball, but one of the hobbies that has made me who I am is being involved in the FFA. Being in FFA has taught me to be a leader, being involved in as much as possible and stepping out of my comfort zone by talking to people all over the state of Texas. In my highschool years I have been involved in being an officer and competing on multiple CDE and LDE teams. I have been in FFA for 3 years and every moment has been bittersweet. In highschool I would stick to my clique and not interact with people I don't know, but in FFA I’ve been able to interact with people all over the state and making new friends with the same interest as me.

I look forward to helping students to develop a drive for personal academic excellence and a rich perspective on the world around them as they explore links between the individual, society, and the natural world. The potential of secondary geography is to stimulate an interest in the wider world through learning knowledge, both in and beyond the classroom, and acquiring geographical and transferable skills to last a lifetime. I am currently studying a broad-based geography degree ranging from economic to cultural geography, but also including staples of classroom geography including development, coastal processes and volcanology. My subject knowledge is strong and wide-ranging and aligned to both current GCSE and A-Level specifications and
Born within the thriving capital of Canada, my journey began in the downtown public housing of Ottawa. While my father and mother both attended Andrews University during their undergraduate years, my father’s continued education led our small family to Ontario. Dean Self, upon the completion of his medical degree, again led a household diaspora towards western Canada. Kelowna, a luscious city nestled within the heart of British Columbia, was the stage where I developed the core of being during my adolescence. Although the city was home to a small Adventist church school, my family’s dedication to strong academics ultimately led my upbringing as a homeschooled child.
Introduction: As Assistant Principal of Victor Harbor High School, I have had the opportunity to establish a vision and an improvement agenda for VHHS in the areas of Numeracy, Literacy and ICT, and have been working to implement that agenda. Our school has a positive culture, with staff and student well-being high on our agenda. In 2018 my big rocks on the Site Improvement Strategy (SIS) are Feedback and Literacy, whilst Innovation remains a key focus area.
Eagerness to learn, attention to details, and willingness to put in required effort and time, all qualities I wish to continue to practice as a student in AP English 12. As a student of organization and willingness to participate in classroom discussions and interactions, I believe those attributes of me as a student set me up for success in this class. My enthusiasm in learning has been a leading factor in my decision to apply for this rigorous course my senior year. While there are other options available this is the course best suited for me due to my attention to details and readiness to dedicate time and effort into this class. As an AP English student I am mainly interested in continuing to practice and develop reading and writing skills

A Community Developer (CD) is a solid asset to Residence as they are mentors who provide resources for students and Resident Life Student Staff (RLSS). To add on, a CD is a resource that facilitates engagement with students/ RLSS to build positive relationships in Residence. CDs will also foster a sense of community by implementing events that follow a curriculum to benefit students in their learning about personal development, strengthening Indigenous awareness, strengthening Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), and community engagement. A CD will also help RLSS achieve these learning goals by hosting office hours to mentor them on rights and responsibilities, giving guidance on CUportfolio, organizing/creating posters, etc. Thus, CDs are
It is important for the CLS program to invest in me specifically because I am unable to go and study in the Middle East without the funding provided by this scholarship. It is highly unlikely that an opportunity to travel to one of the different countries available would arise that I could feasibly take. I also believe that I should be invested in because I have developed a great passion for the Arab language and culture since I have started studying them. Initially, I began studying Arabic because my Arabic professor was so passionate and excited about the language and the ability to teach it to students.
Social work is a career that I have recently become interested in pursuing. I spent many years with misconceptions concerning the sector. However, following three years of working close by these experts, I have picked up a more profound comprehension of the significance of the work. I am especially interested in working in child welfare along with terminally ill children. I have got to a stage in my career where I have started to search out instruction that will make me more efficient in creating plans and providing services for vulnerable people.
Ever since I was a little girl I have always known what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to help people and make the world a better place. Growing up the daughter of a pastor, my parents taught me what it meant to serve. Not in an oppressive way, but in a way, that ironically liberated me. Through them and my relationship with God, I was able to realize that servitude is not about submitting yourself to the will of others, but being an example of what Jesus Christ, himself came to do.
The more I don’t know, the more I know. The more I realize I don’t understand, the more I discover my desire to know more about psychology. My interest in educational psychology was triggered by my first experience in changing schools.
I believe that one of the biggest signs of exceptional intelligence is being able to take a complicated or abstract concept and relay it in simple, universally understood terms. This belief advises many of my actions, especially in academia. Most notably, my decision to study computer science. At work, I teach kids as young as kindergarten how to program, and one of the first lessons I always teach is that computers are not especially smart. Programming is about breaking down complex processes in such a way that even a computer, knowing effectively nothing beforehand, can perform it.
