A & M Motivation

Thinking about having the ability to embody all of the students within Texas A&M’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences quickly grabs my attention. The majority of the goals I have set for myself throughout my life have been related to bettering the community I was apart of. In order to achieve my goals, I have talked to my peers to create an concept that could benefit everyone. Afterwards we put the plan into motion.

I am a dedicated, caring individual committed to improving the world around me. My dedication to achieving goals, be it academic or in extracurricular activities, has shown time and time again that I will not give up until I meet the goal, even in the face of adversity. I believe that commitment to goals is a valuable quality I could use to contribute to the community. I plan to join clubs that UCF offer students to work with and contribute to the UCF community. I believe working with my fellow peers to be an important and enriching aspect of college life. I am always willing to help someone in need or point them in the

Although there is an important place for all types of student service experiences at the university level (e.g., community service, volunteering, civic engagement programs) where

I am a graduating senior from high school who is truly interested in obtaining my education in a 2-year program. Throughout high school I learned a good variety of lessons, not only did they help me achieve my goals academically but they gave me life skills such as problem-solving skills and time management skills. By being involved in different school activities such as JROTC and NHS, it made me acknowledge that I’m a service oriented person. By devoting my time to many volunteer activities I felt proud to be involved in my community and found a great satisfaction helping those surrounded by me.

At my previous university, I participated in many activities within Riverside. On top of this, I have made great friends that helped me to grow as a person. Riverside also provided me with exactly what I needed to achieve my previous goal of working within the business world. This drive to apply for Texas A&M is however not solely based on academics. Having grown up in the North Dallas area from 4th grade to 8th grade, I feel a strong attachment to Texas. It is the state where I grew the most and found myself to be the best person I could be. Paired with the program that Texas A&M offers, I hope to bring my newly found experiences to Texas A&M to contribute to what Aggieland is all

I wish to attend Texas A&M because the academics and atmosphere promise superlative growth for me during my college education. Because I intend to pursue a career in business, I see the Mays School of Business as the epitome of education. Focused on a business environment that is full of constant change and evolving technical resources, Texas A&M would give me the confidence that I am receiving the most forward-focused business education. Texas A&M provides an atmosphere that would allow my personality to thrive. The campus spirit brings a sense of community and belonging. While walking on campus during visits, I recognize a warm, joyful and welcoming atmosphere that I could call home. The robust loyalty to the University and fellow

After first becoming a member of four honor societies, I was reluctant to believe that community service and volunteering was “rewarding” and “inspiring”, as the honor society veterans claimed. It was my conviction that volunteering with these honor societies was time-consuming and obligatory. But after several years of participation in these societies, I learned that such endeavors are anything but the two; community service and volunteering has not only been a reminiscent and nostalgic experience for me but has played a pivotal role in my decision to study under a field of engineering in college. My participation in the Science National Honor Society, in particular, has had the most profound impact on me as an aspiring engineer and a once

For most of high school, whether I should study business or engineering muddled my college search. I have always had the people skills of a successful salesman or businessman; however, I also understand the importance of learning a technical skill in one’s professional success. I finally chose the engineering school at Texas A&M because, among other factors, the challenge of learning the upper level math and science required to earn a degree here piqued my interest.

As what seemed to be an almost non-existent summer comes to an end, I have had time to reflect on what I hope to accomplish during my last year roaming the halls of James E. Taylor High School. I picture the impossible calculus problems that I will be required to solve or the piles of books I will struggle to finish as my literature exams near, but one thing that I am truly enthusiastic about is service. Improving my grades had been my most important goal as I began my high school career, however as this draws to an end, I have come to realize that the one thing that will truly leave a mark and will hopefully inspire others is the service that I have given to my community. Through Key Club, I have not only made friendships and bonds that I

My journey through my undergraduate career has not been smooth. During my freshmen year, I performed very well in my classes. With this newfound confidence, I decided to take part in more extracurricular activities during my sophomore year. Growing up in a small, predominantly white community, I was rarely exposed to diversity. Thus, in my college experience, I hoped to learn more about people from different backgrounds and connect with students that have a similar culture to my own. Fortunately, Loyola University Chicago’s diverse environment allowed me to do this and I became more involved in Loyola’s South Asian Student Alliance (SASA) and Hindu Student Organization (HSO). I also began working so I could help my parents with college finances.

Taking time to volunteer at the many nonprofit organizations, homeless shelters, advocacy centers, philanthropic fundraisers, local schools and child care facilities in the inner city is not always at the forefront of young people’s minds while navigating through their college experiences. But, with a little push from student organizations, local nonprofits and passionate individuals, volunteerism and community change can start to take a front seat and become not just an opportunity, but also a priority in the lives of young people.

When I first arrived at the University of Michigan, I was pleasantly surprised to find out the first service event we were doing was invasive species management in the Huron watershed. Cutting down buckthorn and picking invasive species seeds were both activities very familiar to me. Growing up in Chicago, my middle and elementary school had done nearly the exact same thing every year in the Chicago River watershed. Going out into the woods and helping the often forgotten organic parts of our community was certainly a pleasant surprise for me. I initially thought going to college that almost everything I would be experiencing would be new and exciting, yet here I was coming full circle right back to where I had first started learning about community involvement. More often than not, our expectations of things do not match their true forms.

In order to prepare myself for these goals, I have made sure to make myself a well-rounded individual while maintaining grades within well standards in order to get accepted into graduate school. In order to make myself a well-rounded individual I made sure to join many clubs and organizations, volunteer within the community, and to always work hard for my money. Some of the organizations I am involved in here at Fayetteville State University are ACS Club, Math Club, Bio Phi Chem, My Sister’s Keeper, Honda Campus All Star Tournament, and Black Feminist Scholars which I am the President of this organization. The volunteer work I have participated in has been through Black Feminist Scholars and My Sister’s Keeper, which has consisted of providing

In my five years of active volunteer work with multiple non-profit organizations, I have seen firsthand the lack of attendance of my peers in times of great community need and support from its members. Although it has become more complicated to find time to give back to the community, with a full-time school and work schedule, there is always spare time to give back. The rapidly growing demand for volunteers in communities all across America is increasing and it is everyone’s duty, especially college students, to pay their dues to the
