To some, the University of Chicago may seem like just another college with the iconic speech about how you can make a club to match your interests, or how great the food is. However, once you go beneath the surface it is impossible to underestimate the educational and intellectual benefits as well as the community and possibilities which stem from UChicago.

After researching the University of Chicago, it became my first choice, I even have a poster on my bedroom wall! I became excited about the opportunities the chemistry department offers as well as the idea of the Common Core, the joining of an intellectually motivated community and the ability to make a difference as many other UChicago alumni have. …show more content…

I am currently excelling in AP chemistry online and wish to further my knowledge in the science at the University of Chicago. What interests me about the chemistry program at UChicago is the incorporation of analytical chemistry within the three principle branches as well as the elective freedom for the pursuit of interdisciplinary interests. This freedom will allow me to embody other interests revealed in high school, such as biology, into my field of study and discover their interrelationship. After browsing through the 2017 class listing I am astounded at the diversity of classes offered just in the chemistry major, and enthusiastic to explore the varying depths of my

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.

With increased demand for quality and safe nursing care, the health care system is currently focusing on the quality of training of student nurses. Nursing education has therefore shifted from the conventional concepts where nurses were perceived to be assistants to physicians to a new model where student nurses are equipped with sufficient scientific knowledge enabling them to use evidence-based approaches in decision-making. In my baccalaureate degree education through ISU, an evidence-based approach was one of the key areas of focus, which I credit to having prepared me to practice according to the expectations of a bachelor’s prepared nurse. Moreover, my baccalaureate degree education through ISU laid emphasis on cultural sensitivity and cultural awareness. This is owing to the fact that the world is currently globalized, which makes it essential for a nurse practitioner to be able to understand, acknowledge, and appreciate cultural differences among the patients as well as attend to the unique cultural needs of the patients.

I entered college quite unaware that the General Chemistry class I was required to take for my biology major would spark in me a strong interest in chemistry. A first-generation college student, I was a bit afraid and unsure of what to expect from this college-level science course in chemistry. Consequently, I devoted a great deal of time to studying and reading for this class, and began to realize how fascinating the science of chemistry is. I was intrigued by the way that the laws of nature are tied so closely with mathematics, and how chemistry is a fundamental science upon which the other sciences are built. While my General Chemistry class sparked my interest in chemistry, my Organic Chemistry class confirmed my love for the science.
