Pennsylvania Personal Statement

626 Words3 Pages

The University of Pennsylvania is an ideal place for me to pursue and explore my intellectual and academic interests. I hope to study at the Wharton School of Business majoring in legal studies and business ethics. I am interested in the courses, programs, and opportunities that the Wharton School has to offer. My cousin Christie is currently a nursing student at Penn and has shared many highlights and exciting experiences with me. She encouraged me to apply last February to Wharton’s summer pre- college program. I was accepted into this unique, intensive program, which secured my interest and passion for this school. Through the Global Young Leaders Academy (GYLA) residential program at Wharton, I met some of the most amazing Wharton faculty, staff, and students; I felt so comfortable on campus being a part of this college community. Moreover, I was very fortunate to meet peers who shared the same interests as me, current students who shared their personal experiences of what it would be like being a Wharton college student, and professors who inspired me. Additionally, I enjoyed being surrounded by people who sparked my curiosity and growth challenging me intellectually beyond what I have ever imagined. I want to experience this same level of rigor during my college years and know Penn’s academics will fulfill this challenge. …show more content…

Susan Brake. I have always had difficulties with public speaking, which has hindered my ability as a leader. In this two-hour course, Ms. Brake made me feel at ease when speaking in front of an audience.

I used creative thinking by presenting with my hands and using body language. My power point was appealing to the eye and was detailed with facts.

For this public speaking reaction paper, I choose to go see my Pastor Milton Mendez give a sermon at his church located at 2105 Palisades Ave, Union City New Jersey on December 6, 2015. The main topic of his sermon was about being truly free. He started the sermon by stating that it was a continuation of the past sermon.

Most pre-college programs are expensive, and big ‘name brand’ colleges offer four figure fees for two week camps that are not only elementary but also unrepresentative of the true collegiate experience. Sometimes, these programs offer credits, but the GHP experience is about more than skipping college classes. It is about making lasting friendships, refining applicable skills, and growing as a young scholar in a collegiate environment. Furthermore, GHP is about bringing a diverse group of students together to collaboratively improve.

I would like to cover “stage speech,” which is the teaching of fluency in talking and confidence. Commonly referred to as public speaking, with the primary purpose of informative presentations and fluently sharing one’s knowledge of a subject with an audience confidently. A second common reason for speaking to an audience is to persuade others. In our everyday lives, we are often called on to convince, motivate, or otherwise persuade others to change their beliefs, take an action, or reconsider a decision. Finally, public speaking will prove to be a very important unit to cover as it strongly correlates to Drama’s ideals, but also concurs with real life confrontations that may prove difficult to some

Speaking in front of people has never been a struggle of mine and I consider myself extremely verbally fluent. My audience was very engaged and willing to participate. I found it interesting that some of the less talkative class members were participating and interpreted this as a compliment as it was evident that nearly everyone was engaged in my presentation. Being a dual education major, I am aware that I have an innate ability to teach and creating an outline and lesson plan was quite simple for myself. Through both my struggles and confidence I found valuable things to take from the whole

Three of my strengths when speaking in public would be my hand gestures, the ability to look people in the eye and speaking calming and slow enough for others to understand. I learned these skills from my boss at KACF where she speaks publicly whether it be for the news, radio or public events. With this skills I have become a reasonably calm and confident speaker. Three challenges I face when speaking in public is first worrying what others might think of me, mispronouncing a word and chocking up about it mid speech and finally getting the shivers that show in my voice because I become nervous. These scenarios often occur when I am not comfortable with my environment and those involved.

Speaking properly and effectively will change the way you talk and will change the way people will listen to you. By displaying knowledge and skill towards the widely accepted language, the audience gain trust towards the writer or speaker, fostering an authoritative relationship between the two. It was through my past experience that I came to a realization that impactful speech and writing, possible through the use and manipulation of proper English, serve as agents for gaining my audience’s attention. Being elected as the former President of my high school, it was my obligation to lead nearly a thousand students.

As students, presentations are something that is required in most classes yet, students do not see themselves as public speakers. Throughout high school and now in college, I have had to present material in 80 percent of the classes that I have taken. Presenting was, and still is something that I struggle with no matter how big or how small the group is that I am presenting to. I knew that Public Speaking was a required class for me so, rather than putting it off, I decided to go ahead and get it out of the was as soon as possible. Speaking in front of people is out of my comfort zone.
