Movement of Change: An analysis of Turning Points by former UT Presidents William Cunningham and William Powers Jr. As a first-year freshman, I often get asked what my major is and what I plan to do with it. I often reply, “Neuroscience, and a Physician Assistant” but what they do not know is that in the back of my mind I know that my plans will eventually change and I will end up performing what truly feeds my passion. This whole concept of what I am supposed to be doing and the uncertainty in my future is what drove me to this lecture. In this lecture series, I discovered what changed The University of Texas at Austin’s history through Cunningham’s top 10 key points and William Powers’ notable decisions that got him to the high chair.
I am most attracted to Loma Linda University’s mission to make man whole and continue the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ and its commitment to faith and science. As a Seventh-day Adventist christian, the motto to make man whole has never been more personal than it is now. As I grow in my experience as a christian, to further the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus continues to take center stage. This mission and an understanding of the need for whole person care is something I seek to demonstrate and encourage through my profession as a nurse and involvement in my community.

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.

Finding Tufts was like grocery shopping: I had to pass through aisles of lackluster Wonder Bread before discovering the scrumptious sourdough I needed. I was captivated and surprised by the endearing personality that shone through the articles I read. For an institution, I found Tufts to be quite human. “Pax et Lux” is not just an aphorism above a doorway; the ultimate advice of the dean himself is to “be kind”. It was apparent that in addition to academics, kindness and character is of utmost importance, which assures me that at Tufts I will have the most comprehensive college

I come from a lower, middle class family. Both of my parents are employed full time but do not make enough income to supply the $20,000 it takes to attend Missouri State. They have always encouraged me to want more for myself, both in my career and in my life in general. Although I am still deciding on a major, I know that I want to make enough money to live comfortably and be able to provide for my family.
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.
To Kill a Mockingbird is a world renowned book that is loved through the ages. The book carries many themes from racism to prejudice. Some people believe that TKaM doesn’t fit into today's society because it is very old, dating back to the mid 60’s. I think a novel is still relevant if the reader connects today’s society with the plot and characters of the book. In that case, To Kill a Mockingbird is still relevant in today's culture because there is prejudice with different races, people are still stereotyped and labeled, and children learn the responsibilities of a person who came of age.

This year i’m entering the TSA competition hoping to win district and maybe even be a state champion.
