YSU Personal Statement

507 Words3 Pages

Ever since I was a child, I always wanted to be a doctor. Whenever anyone would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, the answer was “a doctor”. The thought of taking care of someone fascinated me. My idea was to be a doctor that took care of “little kids and old people.” My family always told me that I did not have to stick with my childhood dream, but that is what I want to do. YSU has a great way of schooling me in that. Maybe even while I am there I might change my mind and switch my major or field of study. I have always been a nice and kind person, and I think it has something to do with the way I was raised. I have two loving parents that always push me in every activity I do. No matter what I do, whether it is with my grades, …show more content…

So far, the first part of my goal is almost achieved. I have never had anything other than an A on my report card and I hope I can continue that achievement for the remainder of my senior year. This alone is probably my greatest and favorite accomplishment I have ever done. I am in many different clubs within my school such as science club, LEO club and the NHS. I feel like since I am in all of these clubs it will help further my education and social skills and in turn help me in college with my studies. After I finish high school, I am hoping to get into YSU and study in the medical field. I am not sure how long that may take but I am willing to put in the time for a job that will make me happy and successful in the long run. After all the appropriate schooling, I am hoping I know exactly what I want to be. I am not too sure what type of doctor I even want to be. Lately I have been contemplating on whether or not I want to actually be a doctor. I have been thinking about doing something that involves engineering, but I am still not too sure. I am hoping that YSU can help me decide on which profession I want to go into and change my life for the

Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) has influenced me in many ways. First, it was the school's amazing nursing program. The school of nursing was established in 1953 and it awards undergraduates the bachelor of science degree. WSSU’s nursing program was ranked number 3 in the nation, and is continuing to grow and enhance the program. I have been given the chance to get into the nursing program, with the help from the Guaranteed Admission Program (GAP).

Immediately after graduating from Riverdale High School in 2009, I started my undergraduate career at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). Upon entrance to MTSU, I believed that my career path was in the field of pharmacy. I envisioned graduating from MTSU after only four years and would be directly on to pharmacy school thereafter. Towards the middle of the first semester, I quickly realized that this would not be the career path for me. I cut back on my course load and worked diligently to finish the semester.

WHY THE ASU MS ERM PROGRAM: I have been searching for a master’s program that can provide me with an integrated program of courses and a platform to enhance my knowledge for both public policy and water supply law. I believe an MS in the ERM program will provide me with that focus and forum based on my experience as an ASU research staff member, a review of the program’s coursework, and a discussion I had with the program’s Director, Larry Olson. MY PATH TO WATER: My career began as a mechanically oriented design engineer in an industrial research and development capacity. However, my path slowly shifted gears when I took a position at ASU, for the Chemistry Department in the early 1990’s as part of a research group focused on high pressure/high

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

In third grade, I was assigned to create a project illustrating what I wanted to be when I grew up. At this time, due to my positive experiences with doctors and my desire to help others, especially children, I decided to describe the role of a pediatrician as my future career. Throughout my childhood, whenever asked about my future aspirations, I confidently declared that I would attend medical school and become a pediatrician. However, as I developed, the answer to this question slowly began to evolve as I gained a deeper understanding of my values and the people I desired to serve through medicine.

From the time I was young until now, it has become a clear fact that I catch on to things quickly. After preschool, instead of going through kindergarten, I went straight to first grade. I excelled through primary school and middle school, always making high marks. I continued on my academic streak throughout high school, even while taking honors classes, AP classes, participating in two varsity sports, being a part of four organizations, and working a part-time job. Likewise, I completed over an entire semester of college while still in high school.

It was not long before I realized FSU’s reputation as a “party school.” This was very difficult for me to swallow. Here I was: a thousand miles from home in a place where my intelligence and enthusiasm for academia would only be praised by my honors program advisors and would be ridiculed by near everyone else. Once I discovered the lifestyle of my peers was not for me, I began to search for ways to challenge myself. After changing majors from finance to economics to mechanical engineering to mechanical engineering and economics, I realized the coursework was not going to be enough of an obstacle.

I want to take advantage of the excellent engineering, and business programs at WSU. I made this decision due to my participation on the FIRST Robotics Team at my high school. My favorite memory was not driving the robot at regionals but was trying to figure out why our robot wouldn't work when we first wired it. I’m the team programmer and not many of my team members really understand what I do which makes it difficult for me to articulate what is wrong. The problem was, our two inductive proximity sensors which were working, were not sending a signal to the roborio, our controller.
