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.
So am I, after serious thinking during the period, I decide to major in psychology because I love psychology, I like to help people. From an early age I have been intrigued by the human mind and how
I see myself being an engaged member of the WCU and Brinson Honors College community by being involved in community service opportunities, becoming a member of leadership organizations, and taking advantage of opportunities to study and serve in a different country or to participate in undergraduate studies. I plan to be engaged in the WCU community by being involved in all that I can be involved in. Specifically, I hope to become involved in at least one of the faith-based groups on campus, such as the Baptist Student Fellowship at WCU or the Campus Crusade for Christ. Becoming involved in faith-based organizations is important to me and will allow me to love God and love people better by learning more about God and participating in service projects that will share his love and truth. Additionally, I want to join a local Church family, where I hope to serve in various aspects of the Church, especially those that involve children, something that I am passionate about.
Growing up on a small cattle operation in central Oklahoma, my parents quickly instilled in me a love for the agricultural way of life, and that passion is what led me to become the 13th person in my family to attend Oklahoma State University. 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
As I think of the University of Mississippi, the aspect that most impresses me, and is an addition to my desire to immerse myself in this prominent learning community is the University's outstanding resources. I am very attracted to the opportunity to explore and learn at the University of Mississippi's science departments. Science has been my academic passion ever since I entered middle school. Since then, I have always wanted to get into the medical field to become a neurologist. I believe the brain is a black box with endless mysteries waiting to be explored.
Personal Statement I began my educational journey at Rose State College, where I earned an Associate's Degree in General Studies. I went back to school at Mid-America Christian University the following semester to pursue a Degree in Psychology. It is my belief that once I started school at Mid-America Christian University, I began to learn in a much different way than ever before. After completing my first two semesters at MACU growing closer and closer to the University is exactly what I was doing. I began working two student worker jobs on top of participating in athletics on Mid-America Christian University's baseball team.
I soon became passionate about conducting research to understand the association of mental illness on students. Researching other studies would eventually aid to design other programs that were culturally tailored to specific
My interest in mental health has grown throughout high school and my time at Virginia Tech. During high school I had the opportunity to take my first Psychology class that gave me my first educated experience with mental health. Following this experience I continued my interest by applying to Virginia Tech’s Human Development program. During my three years at Virginia Tech my interest in mental health has grown with educational experiences. The Human Development courses have given me the knowledge to understand individuals and families throughout the lifetime.
I will acquire a B.S. Chemistry major through the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Science. I want to apply this knowledge in the undergraduate research opportunities offered at USC. Specifically, I would like to take part in the USC Women in Science and Engineering research program. The USC WiSE research program is offering a supportive environment for men and women who plan to build a career in the science and engineering; I want to take advantage of this supportive environment. I want to pursue a career as a researcher, and I know this program will help me develop a successful career as a researcher.
I am happy that I chose Colorado State University for apply. I came to CSU campus for first time with my wife for tour with the group and student mentor in June. I really liked their the open campus that have environment friendly and more trees to feel spiritual. I have been asking around about pros and cons for this campus before I come to visit, but for me, I got lots of good comments about CSU and suggests me to go there to check out. CSU amazed me because I really liked what they have on campus and it made me to feel more welcome.
My teachers would describe me as a hard worker, dependable, and very helpful to others. I would describe myself as a person who likes to get involved in school activities, friendly, and very athletic. I am looking for a school that has enthusiastic teachers, teachers that will help me stay engaged, and will also give me the support in my subjects when I need it. Notre Dame Academy develops leadership in Catholic women. My grandmother, Maureen Miller, also went to Notre Dame for high school.
Everything SMU offers appeals to me, but a few aspects especially stand out. The Cox School of Business has captivated me—the thought of studying business in a prestigious school in Dallas, one of the top cities for jobs in the nation, makes me excited about my future. Although many other schools offer a great location or a successful business school, few provide both to students. SMU’s ideal location allows business students a unique opportunity to be only minutes away from internships and jobs in Dallas. Also, I grew up in a community like Highland Park, so SMU’s location already gives me a sense of comfort and home.
I am able to read people, analyzing how they feel and what kind of person they are. This helps me avoid accidentally angering someone when they’re already having a bad day, or comfort someone who’s feeling a bit down. I want to attend CAHS because I believe it will help me prepare for the future. I think it will help me decide what major I want to go into, since I will be experiencing a wider range of subjects than I normally do. Plus, I want to learn how to communicate better, as it is something that I have wanted to improve on for a long time.
Psychology was one of my earliest career interests dating back to high school. I would eventually follow my interest and pursue a college degree in this line of study where I obtained a 4.0 in all the courses that were in my major. I also was heavily involved in PSI Chi (The International Honors Society of Psychology) where I served as our chapter’s Vice President. It was due to this passion and success that I was offered a position as an undergraduate Teaching Assistant at SIU. I believe my success and experiences in psychology would allow me to be knowledgeable about the course content and the ability to be seen as a credible source of information to my
I spent a year working towards this degree and eventually decided that I should be honest with myself. If I wanted to live up to the example my parents set and love what I do, I had to be honest with myself and pursue what it is I felt I was meant to do. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family and am still thankful to this day that I followed my heart and my gut instinct. My undergraduate studies at Kent State helped me significantly in my decision pursuing a career in school counseling.
