Personal Statement: Going To UW-Superior

686 Words3 Pages

Going to UW-Superior is something that I have wanted for a long time. I can bring many new things to the community. I have travelled a bit, I enjoy helping the community and my professional pursuits will hopefully one day better the world.

Whenever you travel you learn many new ideas. Everyplace you go to is different. I love traveling to new places and learning everything I can. When I come back I can share the ideas that I have learned to benefit the community. While touring a college, I learned that they have an annual fundraiser where they race rubber ducks for a hunger drive. I brought that idea to my FFA chapter and now we are currently working on a way to do something similar at my high school. While I have only traveled in Wisconsin I can not wait to go farther and share ideas from the whole world to make UW-Superior the best place it can possibly be. …show more content…

Both of these organizations are all about helping the community. In FFA we host several events that help our community. There is the blood drive that we do twice a year and a hunger drive, also twice a year, called Dodge Hunger. In student council, we are more concerned with the school community. We try to change, as much as we can, rules or policies that students dislike. We attend board meetings once a month as student representatives. When I do these things I feel like I am making a difference in our community. While at UW-Superior I can join the organization called Helping Hands and help everyone, including animals, in the community.Going to UW-Superior is something that I have wanted for a long time.

When this summer is done, I might go back and volunteer at the shelter during my time here at Western. The total experience (or what is so far) was not bad, yet the only thing I did not like from volunteering was the smell of cat urine seeping into my clothes, but petting the cats was fun. I only say maybe because I do not know what my future schedule looks like, but if I ever had the time then I will try. I am not making any promises nor any guarantees. There are other great options and opportunities to volunteer at other local organizations too, so I do not have to limit myself to only

Of my many volunteer and paid extra-curricular activities, the most important to me is the National Art Honor Society, which extends artistic activities to my community. We organize two school events: the Festival of Trees and the Talent Competition. The Festival of Trees is an event when every school club can choose to donate and decorate a tree that we set up. All of the money raised goes to an organization of our choice. For the last 4 years, we have donated to Street Grace, which benefits the fight against human trafficking, especially in the Metro Atlanta area.

Student Council performs numerous tasks around my school that hopefully improve the school and school spirit. The most important thing Student Council has taught me is: no matter how small, a good deed can go a long way. A handful of students and myself led to the founding of Spanish Club. Sadly Spanish Club isn’t an organization any more after the sponsor moved to a different position. However, my time in Spanish Club was well spent.

I want to apply to UW-Madison because of my love for learning how humans work through psychology. As a child, I was always faced with the same question, “Why did they do that?” From then on, I always found myself analyzing every aspect from any angle I could. When I began taking social and government classes, another interest of mine, I found every point easier to understand because of my knowledge of psychology. UW became my number one because my mental health care team all have degrees from your school.

I was able to train the students in there for them to get better. Even walking around, I seem to always find people in need of help and love being able to help people in need. Every time I had extra food, I would always give it to the homeless because I know that it would be of much better use in their hands than in mine. For my Freshman year, I participated in a club named Heart in Motion. What that club did was volunteer at different places to help at events like acting as a security guard or give food and water for runners at marathons.

I am currently a student helper in the special education program at Central Dauphin. Working with my special needs classmates is not only something I enjoy, but it creates a bridge between our two cultures within the school making everyone feel part of something. I have also participated in the Red Cross Christmas Cards for Soldiers and the Ronald McDonald House Blanket Drive. During these activities, groups of people gather together to make home-made cards and blankets for soldiers and those in need. Civic responsibility should expand beyond the borders of our school and into our community and I strive to help those in need whenever possible.

As a St. Olaf student, I aspire to participate in various clubs, community service opportunities, and study abroad. Over the past few summers, I have volunteered for a wonderful organization, Sports Made Possible. My first club softball team exposed me to this amazing organization at age 10, and eight years later I still take part as often as I can. We help special needs children play the game of softball. Being able to help these children participate in the sport that I love and seeing the smiles on their faces as they play, reminds me of how fortunate I am.

Furthermore, i love the feeling I get when I explore new ideas, histories, beliefs, and scenarios. It not only increases my knowledge, but also helps me overcome problems that I am dealing with. I get to experience life’s problems, pleasures, and I come out of my personal bubble to become a better person by exploring new cultures. Travelling is my passion because it’s something that I am not afraid to chase after. I get to learn more and more about myself and I am able to expand my horizons every time I travel.
