Personal Statement: Take Your Child To Work Day

93 Words1 Pages
When I was a Test Engineering Co-op at Cummins Inc. in Stoughton, WI, I volunteered for the Take Your Child to Work Day event on campus. For the event, a fellow co-op and I set up a simple test rig to demonstrate the importance air filtration system in engines to kids aged 6-12. The main objective of this was to galvanize kids, especially young girls, to pursue a career in STEM. In addition, I also participated in an Adopt-A-Park event, where all the co-ops volunteered to clean a park in a low-income neighborhood.

Truth be told, I’ve never been the most outgoing person, but many of these opportunities have helped me to step outside my comfort zone, and take leadership various situations.

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.

I have done a toy drive for the CT Children 's Med Center for 6th and 7th grade. NJHS is about helping our school and community. Helping with the toy drive helped me understand how to do things like that, which can help with any drives NJHS will plan in the future. I also helped with a clothing and toiletries drive for the women’s shelter. This can again help with planning any school drives that might be done by NJHS.

It has been been a goal of mine to attend the United States Naval Academy after visiting Annapolis with my grandparents in 2012. Since visiting the Naval Academy I knew that I wanted to serve America with the utmost honor and integrity.

This summer experience is an opportunity of a lifetime because it will allow me to understand and benefit from the mental and physical challenges the academy provides. Challenging myself at the Naval Academy Summer Seminar would be greatly beneficial for me because I will have the confidence and skills to make decisions

I have always enjoyed my work in Science Olympiad and my participation as a Boy Scout of Troop 29, primarily due to the tangible results that represented a physical culmination of my time and effort. During my time participating in Science Olympiad, I always gravitated towards the engineering events, as these allowed me to apply my knowledge to a physical construct that I could design, create, and modify to achieve the greatest efficiency. Similarly, in my experience as a Boy Scout, I always most enjoyed helping with the Eagle Scout projects, as each of these actively worked towards creating a visible effect on the community, and my own Eagle Project allowed me to incorporate my interests in engineering and Scouting to develop a water conservation

Volunteering at McKenna Farms Therapy Services I was able to observe pediatric occupational therapy sessions. Not only did I get to observe Occupational Therapy sessions, but I observed Hippotherapy sessions too. What I found so unique about McKenna Farms is that they had Speech Therapist, Physical Therapist, and Occupational Therapist all together at one clinic. This allowed me to witness how the different types of therapy fit together and how the therapist would collaborate to find the best way to treat the children. My favorite part was finding ways to communicate with the kids.

Reflecting on my educational and practical experiences, I appreciate the infinite influence that teachers have on children. I realise that children will take the skills and knowledge learnt in the classroom and use it throughout their lives. I know a teacher has to deal with many daily pressures and challenges, in the classroom. However, I feel I require the skills needed to deal with these challenges. As a teacher I hope not only to be an educator but a positive role model, whom the children can look up to and trust.

I used to be a shy kid. The kind of hiding-behind-your-mother’s-legs kind of shy. In elementary school I did not approach anyone to come and play with me. In middle school I was used as a messenger between fighting girls. I didn’t want that job, it was a job that was given to me, forced upon me.
