I chose TTUHSC SOM because of the ability to learn medicine in a place that values the art of patient care in its foundation as well as the ability to do anything I hope to do in medicine guided by the strength of its mission and the care that TTUHSC SOM provides for its students. I would like to conduct my medical career in a setting that converges between urban and rural settings. My parents brought their strong work ethic from Ghana, cultivated on their family’s farms, to Austin, Texas where it was critical in encouraging my own desire to work in close contact with a diverse population of patients. My experiences in the communities I’ve lived in and health care have provided me with the insight to work within both types of areas. My most prominent experiences in health care have come from working in clinics that serve underserved populations.
Throughout their lifetimes, people go through a change in identity, which despite not being physical it changes them morally and emotionally, as well as influencing their actions. Sherman Alexie capitalizes off of this with his novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (ATDPTI), which follows Junior, a boy from a Native American reservation, who switches to a school in a nearby town, which is known for being racist towards his culture; Junior changes through the novel, and develops a true sense of his own identity, giving the work a prominent theme. Zitkala-Sa’s School Days of an Indian Girl follows a young Native American girl in the late 1800s, who is forced away from her family and sent to a boarding school built to strip them of their culture, and encounters drastic change similar to Junior. Sherman Alexie addresses the impact of one 's positive change in identity by giving his protagonist a character and goal or character to surpass; he does this by creating two similar characters, giving his protagonist a goal, and by showing a concluding comparison.
Falklands War offers the most pertinent lesson to Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) on the need to have conscript soldiers who are well trained, given the challenges of diminishing importance of national service and the emphasis of joint operation given the complexity of modern warfare On 2 April 1982, Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, a remote United Kingdom UK colony in the South Atlantic, in order to restore its country’s support during a time of economic crisis.

Teaching at Palm Beach Atlantic University in a comprehensive christian atmosphere allow ones to integrate christian values and ideas into education giving the chance to share the love of Jesus Christ with students who may need spiritual guidance and leadership. One wonderful aspect of teaching in a Christian school is that God’s word is taught. As students pursue the study of pharmaceutical science in a Christian setting, their aim is not only to have a career in pharmacy science but also to chase after the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. Therefore, it is expected as an instructor at a christian institute to plant God's word in the hearts and minds of the students. And I strongly believe that An education that uses God’s word as its foundation produces spiritually-mature, wiser and more knowledgeable Pharmacy students.
Growing up, I always thought that everyone should have the ability to partake in sport regardless of income, nationality, and physical and/or mental disabilities. Sports, not only provide an excellent form of exercise, but also teach discipline, teamwork, and communication. I have learned many life lessons and have gained many valuable skills from my experiences playing soccer. I continue to use them, day in and day out, as I strive to be the best version of myself.
One experience that significantly influenced my academic interests was my leadership experience in my church youth group. In accordance with our goals, the youth is responsible for organizing a summer bible camp for the younger children. This summer, the other officers and I were hard at work putting together our camp. Trouble was, no one else was interested. With only two weeks left until the start of the camp, only one fourth of the kids had registered.
I never really thought about nutrition before, until recently. When I was younger I was pretty healthy and active, until about 4 years ago on my birthday, that’s when it all changed. I got an Xbox 360, man was I excited, all my friends had one and now I finally got one. But ever since that day I have stopped being active and have been gaining weight and I have finally realized why I did, videogames. But I am not here to bash videogames, I love playing videogames, rather I am here to discuss my new found interest in nutrition, eating healthy, and staying active.
Ever since I was a little girl I have always known what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to help people and make the world a better place. Growing up the daughter of a pastor, my parents taught me what it meant to serve. Not in an oppressive way, but in a way, that ironically liberated me. Through them and my relationship with God, I was able to realize that servitude is not about submitting yourself to the will of others, but being an example of what Jesus Christ, himself came to do.
An event that has marked my transition from childhood to adulthood was obtaining my first job. As a kid my only responsibility have been help with the house chores and cleaning my room always with my mother’s help. My major responsibility has been to obtain good grades and being a good student in school. This has allowed me to focus in what is really important because my parents want be to have a good education. Since I been thirteen I been helping my mom with her job to pay for my own cellphone bill.
In the Christian life it is often difficult to understand the relationship one must have with the world. In my lifetime, I have come to realize that faith is the most important thing. One’s faith will ultimately decide their eternal destiny. I believe that while we are alive it is important to point people to Christ who is the savior of all men. The majority of the world is devoid of faith, most often seeking money as the primary source of fulfillment.
Have you ever dreamed of travelling to another planet? As scientists explore nature and the cosmos, new technologies are created. These technologies are used in the modern world for everyone to enjoy. New technologies help us discover more about our universe and the other galaxies. For example the Hubble Space Telescope, which orbits outside Earth’s atmosphere, takes high resolution images that allow for a view into space and time.
Often, I find myself sitting in my room questioning why I chose to pursue a career in the field of education. I only begin to question my decision in becoming a future educator when I encounter major challenges. Today, I am fully aware that in life, one is unable to run away from his or her obstacles; however, he or she has the potential to overcome these barriers. On Monday, July 11, I took the Praxis Core Mathematics Exam, which I am required to pass to receive admission into the School of Education at Felician University. I scored a 146 on the exam―the passing score is a 150.
Education is a multi-faceted subject, it involves governments, financial institutions, communities and most of all families and their children. In America, educating children is part of the fabric of our society, whether we live in rural or urban areas. It is so natural to us that every child should attend school, so we forget that in other parts of the world access to education is an uphill battle. When I think about education, I mostly see it as a powerful tool to secure a prosperous future for myself and future generations. Surely, I have access to a sophisticated education system here in America, but that is not the case for many children in other developing countries.
