If selected for admission, there are many important contributions I can make to NOVA Southeastern University College of Optometry’s Class of 2020. One contribution is I know I can provide my peers assistance when studying for upcoming exams in their class. I am incredibly hard working person and over the years I have developed strong studying habits, became more focused, disciplined, and patient when it comes to studying for all my classes. While I was attending Barry University’s Biomedical Science program, I would assist and tutor my peers in lecture and in labs such as Biochemistry, Histology, Neuroanatomy, and Anatomy and Physiology, so that they can develop a stronger understanding of the information that was expected to be in upcoming …show more content…

Tutoring and assisting my peers has never been a job for me, it is something that I enjoy doing just as a hobby. I’m someone who is very passionate science, and I love reading about it, and nothing gives me better joy than helping my peers fall in love with science too the way I have. I always attended all my class and after hours and hours of understanding and memorizing the information given to us by our professors, I then developed a strong understanding of the material given to us. I then enjoyed guiding those students in the right direction who were struggling to improve their grasp and understand the information to help them develop a stronger understanding of the information given to them, providing tips to better improve their studying habits, and also help them fall in love with science the way I have. In a way this experience has helped develop my leadership qualities and helped me become more of a confident person. Throughout the years I have been tutoring and assisting my peers, I have enjoyed helping and teaching students, it gives me a sense and joy just by being able to give back, in a way, this experience has reminded of how I was a struggling undergrad student at Saint Leo …show more content…

I have always enjoyed teaching people and helping them learn so that they can succeed in school. I got involved with tutoring through National Honor Society and the A+ Scholarship Program. With National Honor Society there is many service opportunities that I am able to be involved in and I do as many as possible, but tutoring homebound has always been what I've prefered to do. This is very important to me because many of these students aren't in class to learn directly from a teacher so things can become confusing fairly quickly and I like to be there to help as much as I am able to. Even at times when it is something that I am not proficient in it becomes a learning experience for me as well as the student I am tutoring.

Nevertheless, I was optimistic and able to find the positive in my circumstances. The pain and fear I've faced throughout the years have inspired me to major in health in my undergraduate studies to later pursue a career in optometry. I want to attain a career in a profession where I can meaningfully contribute to individuals who have been impacted by the lack of health, especially the loss of eyesight. I don't want to see any human suffer through the same pain as my grandmother did. Being a caretaker for a disabled person was an eye opening experience.

I learned how to adapt to the individual needs of students to provide them the best education. Like students with a communication disorder, many of my students would shy away from activities or tasks because of obstacles. Through these experiences, I watched my students gain the confidence to participate in activities and excel in academics to become successful individuals. As a future Speech Language Pathologist, many qualities that I possess can be improved by furthering my education.

I never would have thought that I could teach another student their homework let alone help them understand it. I felt incredibly good after I knew that I had the chance to help multiple students not only with their homework but, help them make the right decisions when stuck in a predicament. It was an amazing feeling telling students how I achieved my goals and the process it took to achieve them while being at the University. The feeling you get when a person when someone looks up to you and they tell you gives you a feeling that is indescribable.

I was never the perfect student, nor was I always perfectly behaved. I understand that there are more people like this, that is why I strive to help others in achieving their own personal goals. Spending time at school tutoring sessions, and the school band program has allowed me to help people in the way that I strive to. I am able to help people become better at a school subject that they may be struggling with, or even teach someone how to play certain type of percussion instrument that they may not have known how to play. I want to be able to look back on those experiences and know that I may have inspired someone to help others in the same way that I did for them.

My future career goals is constantly expanding and evolving as my knowledge of the field of optometry continues to grow, but having recently taken Neuroanatomy this year, having shadowed Dr. Den Beste where I encountered patients suffering from neurological problems associated with the eye, and having spent time with my uncle who is undergoing extensive therapy having developed left homonymous hemianopia after suffering from a hemorrhagic stroke due to a ruptured aneurysm, I have become incredibly fascinated and intrigued by the way the nervous system works. My future career goal is to become an optometrist specializing in neuro-optometric rehabilitation. After graduating from optometry school I look forward to utilizing my education and training by taking up a residency program or externship specializing in neuro-optometric rehabilitation, and eventually becoming a neuro-optometrist who

I am grateful for my life as I sit here, thinking about graduate school and how few people get to have this experience. I am thankful for my parents, teachers, professors and generous donors who have all guided me, supported me and have lead me to this point in life. Now, it’s my turn to finish my goal; Ph.D. in physics. It all started during my second year at Oregon State University (OSU) that I decided to pursue graduate school. I started as a bioengineering major but quickly realized that it was physics that motivated me to get out of bed and drive 30 miles daily from Salem, OR to Corvallis, OR.

“What you seek is seeking you” (Rumi). I feel as if I didn’t choose to become an optometrist so much as the inspiration was seeking me. Two years ago I panicked every time someone asked me what I was doing after graduation. I hated the time commitment that came with medical school. I knew my nieces and nephews would be graduated from high school by the time I got done, and that my grandmother almost surely wouldn 't be with us.

While in the first grade classroom, I was able to form a great relationship with my mentor teacher that allowed me to be very hands on with the students throughout the semester. Among many things, I learned how to run an educational circle and calendar time, worked with small groups of students to improve reading, provided practice spelling tests to students, assisted students in developing their writing abilities, and implemented the class’s behavior management plan. While I worked with the fifth grade

I believe that I am able to help others with certain issues as I have gone through many experiences from being at this school for several years now, and I know how to deal with different problems others may be facing now. Even if I have not gone through the same things others have, I still find it quite easy for me to empathise with other people, which helps me be able to think of different solutions to different problems. From helping others, this would also help me to learn and overcome my own
