USC Personal Statement

First off, I want to show my gratitude to whoever took their time to go over my application. I am truly grateful to have been given the opportunity to get this far in my education and have the courage to apply. Sadly to my concern my application got rejected for factors that are probably beyond anyone's control. I understand that USC is a very competitive school, with its acceptance rate being low. As a student who has struggled more than ever these past two years, I never would have thought that I would again be applying to colleges. I know how hard it can be to achieve something not within range, but I know it is not impossible. My grades aren't the strongest, being that I did fail to complete some classes while at Cerritos College. But I …show more content…

My story is still the same. I am a single mother of 1 who wants nothing more than to be an inspiration to my daughter and show that anything is possible. As said in my application, going into college I came in strong with taking 18 units and ending my first semester with a 3.4 GPA. Coming from high school, this was big for me as I also struggled in high school and had a 2.8 GPA. I was so determined to even reach a way higher GPA my second semester as I realized I was better off settling for a 3.0 GPA. Unfortunately life took a turn and between moving states, being a mother, an employee, and being mentally and physically drained from a relationship that went on for too long, I dedicated myself to school and my dreams. I want to demonstrate and become somebody at USC. I know there is so much more I can learn and contribute to if the opportunity arises. I am a person of word who is persistent in every goal I set myself to. I consider myself an entrepreneur already knowing what and how to start a business. I would love to take the opportunities that USC School of Marshall has to offer and I know something big can come out of this program for

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.

USC Personal Statement The area of practice that I am interested in is critical care, but more specifically the emergency department. My interest lies in the emergency department because of the fast-paced environment, variety of patients and illnesses, teamwork, and communication among the interprofessional care team. I believe I am a great fit for the emergency department because it plays to my strengths which are being a team player, great communication skills, flexible, remaining calm under pressure, critical thinker, dependable, and hard worker.

While my background and experiences are not very unique when compared to many of my great friends and classmates at OSU, my upbringing served as a motivation to excel and succeed in all of my endeavors and pursue a career in agricultural law. Coming from a small school, I had very limited opportunities to involve myself in extracurricular activities. Naturally, I felt like a kid in a candy shop when I first stepped onto campus and applied to be in many organizations throughout my first year. I strived

I confidently said yes, not even having the slightest Idea of the requirements, and that’s when I learned I had a 2.1 G.P.A. and four D’s. My whole time in high school, I never sought out challenges, like extracurriculars, and I settled for any grade besides a fail, but I’d never realized that in doing so I failed myself. I feared becoming another statistically low-income Latino like my siblings. At the time, I didn’t want to go to community college because I’d known too many people, like my sister and friends, who dropped out their first semester and I was afraid of following their footsteps. I left that day and I reevaluated myself as a person and what I wanted to do with my life.
