ASM Personal Statement

I have made a contribution to the AVID program by spreading all the wonderful things AVID teaches you to my friends and relatives also how it can change your life positively. I have spoken with many friends as to why they should be considering the AVID program in high school in order for them to gain knowledge and learn important college factors so that when they move on they won’t have a difficult time in college. This contribution may not seem as much but I have also tried my hardest to earn a good grade for all the years that I have been taken AVID not only for a grade in the class but for others to see what I have learned throughout all the years that I have been in AVID program and what it can do to improve high school students who want to attend college and become successful trying to reach their goals and dreams.

If selected for admission, I plan to take advantage of IMSA’s unique learning opportunities by working diligently in all of my classes, joining clubs and teams to learn from my peers, and participating in Student Inquiry and Research to satisfy my curiosity and allow for more independent work. I come from a small high school with approximately one hundred students per class. Funding is a constant problem and learning opportunities are thus very limited. I’ve attempted to take as many science and math classes as possible, as well as world history, foreign language, and an advanced English course, but I still do not feel challenged. My school has done what it can to enhance my learning experience, but my math and science classes aren’t quite

Pursing a career as a medical doctor is an opportunity for me to mentor youth in underserved populations. As a child, I was raised in the low income, urban community of Roxbury, MA. Although not as notorious today, the neighborhood had garnered negative attention for its high crime rates. My mother emigrated from Haiti and raised me as a single parent. Due to our financial circumstance, Roxbury became our permanent residence. I have always felt there was something lacking in Roxbury in comparison to other towns I visited. My teenage years were largely spent in the suburban town of Stoneham where I attended high school. There was a literal difference in air quality and a psychology contrast in future prospects. While native students of

There are few certainties of what one will encounter during life. A common joke names two: death and

I discovered Loma Linda University School of Medicine through a friend who urged me to apply knowing how much of a devout Christian I am. I am aware that LLUSM educates its students in the teachings of Christ, and teaches them to heal patients and make man whole as Christ did. This in itself requires an understanding of Christianity and its application to medicine as a career. As a future medical student, I recognize that I will be required to act according to these Christian ideals, a privilege that I look forward to. I admire LLUSM due to its ability to spread love to its patients and inform them of Christ’s ministry. I wholeheartedly agree with the philosophy; healing a patient is much more than treating the symptoms.

My name is Brittney Duffy and I transferred from the financial assistance department at Metro. I have been employed with Baptist for 3 years. I started off as a CNA at the heart hospital Downtown and transitioned into the patient financial department in 2015. I am currently working on my Bachelors at FSCJ for Supervision and Management and I will graduate in summer 2018. I am extremely excited to be joining the BMDA team and am looking forward to starting this new journey in my career.

The Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science has been called the most diverse square mile in Mississippi. Before coming to MSMS I had never seen other children my age who were Asian, Indian, or any other race except for Caucasian and Mexican. I didn't have a chance to talk to other children about their cultures or beliefs until I came to MSMS. Being at MSMS gives me the opportunity to speak to one of the most diverse student bodies in Mississippi. I am able to listen to the different languages spoken by the children here such as Vietnamese, Korean, Hindi, and Spanish. I also get the chance to join cultural clubs established by the student body. Currently, I am a member of the Asian Student Association. The ASA meets monthly to discuss

The Stritch school of medicine is an institution that allows the intersection of research, compassionate care to all members of the community and academic excellence while keeping the patient first. For this reason, I am certain that being a part of this program will challenge me to widen my horizons and increase my exposure to different perspectives. Furthermore, the emphasis on serving others, especially those from the underserved population aligns with my future aspirations as a physician. The ASPIRE program has invaluable resources for me to broaden my depth of knowledge about health care disparities, team dynamics in medicine, and the significance of healthcare professionals that are willing to implement change.The combination of academic

I believe ASMSA is the right place for me to continue my studies because I believe that I will excel there. I am interested in learning some things that my current school does not offer as a course. ASMSA will offer me more opportunities to do things outside of school and in school that will prepare me for my time in college and after college. I want to be able to get up for school and be excited about what I will be doing that day, and I believe that ASMSA will provide me with this opportunity. I think that the school is the right fit for me and my learning style because I feel as if I need to be more advanced and learning things that I cannot at my current school. ASMSA will help me improve my skills and help me develop new ones in the two years that I will attend. I believe that this school will help me grow academically and socially.

I am a thirty-four-year-old United States Army veteran from Norfolk, Virginia. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology, and I minored in Urban Studies from Norfolk State University in 2004. I have over nine years of volunteer and paid experience with the Norfolk Public Library in Norfolk, Virginia. Currently, I am a Library Associate at the Blyden Branch Library in Norfolk, Virginia. As a Library Associate, I serve on the reference desk, and I answer basic reference questions. Also, I assist patrons by locating materials on the shelves and providing help with the use of equipment such as computers, the fax machine, and the scanner. I suggest reading materials for patrons of all ages. In addition, I check out and discharge books and DVDs, reserve material requests, register new patrons, coordinate interlibrary loans and collect fees. I prepare statistical reports, order supplies, process library holds, distribute library materials, and process lost and damaged materials. Additionally, I open mail and ensure that the office equipment is functioning properly. Previously, I worked for the Norfolk Public School system as a Substitute Teacher for middle and high school grade levels. I tutored disabled students during my internship at Norfolk State University. I have a passion for helping others which is my biggest strength.

S.T.E.M. is a program that I would be honored to be a part of. I would like to show the academy why I am qualified to be involved, not why I ‘deserve' to associate with this NBTHS program. Science and engineering are fields that I have been intrigued by as a kid. Being the first generation born in the United States, my parents lectured me to do what makes me happy. I naturally tried all kinds of things such as doing at-home science labs and creating a book with a fill-in-the-blanks. As I got older, my interests focused more on science and mixing chemicals to see the outcomes. Although this may all sound clique, I am truthfully telling you my career choice. My parents realized my liking of the subject so they continued to fill me in on some career choices that were in the field. They talked about chemistry in the pharmaceutical area, but I took

My decision to pursue undergraduate degree in the United States was received with a lot of skepticism by my family members. Because a career in chemistry is unfortunately not considered as rewarding as compared to careers in medicine or business. Successful chemists are not very heard of in Nepal, and this stems from the fact that not many institutions in Nepal have opportunities for research in Chemistry. My deep interest in this field and a fair bit of persuasion helped me convince my parents to support me in my educational endeavor and therefore I came to Wesleyan College to study chemistry. My desire to become chemical engineer after attending college for two years come from my exposure in this field during an internship at the University of Minnesota over the summer.

I recently took a tour of the Toyota plant on the 22nd of October. I then gazed out upon the Toyota plant and suddenly felt envious of the people that witness it every day. From then on I knew that I wanted to be one of them. All my life I’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this and from the second I heard about your AMT program I knew that it was right for me.

When I first began my college search, I quickly realized that not many schools offered what I hoped they would. I had no idea that it would be so difficult to find a university that has programs in American Sign Language and Visual Communication Design, two things I am passionate about. I was elated when I discovered that Western Oregon University has incredible programs in both.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. This philosophy is well known and well followed but no one knows how much it hurts for change to happen. I grew up in a highly dysfunctional household. My mother was bipolar and did treated me worse than anyone should treat the daughter. My father didn't leave us but was not around either. My father was like an empty shell and had little to do with me. He constantly found an excuse to go to work so he didn't have to deal with his problems at home. I had practically raise my younger sister, I cleaned, cooked, and made the best life possible for her. My mother favored my sister because she thought of her like herself, my sister got the best of my mother.
