Aciences 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.

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

Coming from a Latino household, I’ve learned that anything is achievable – there are no walls nor boundaries to stop me from reaching my goals. Whenever it came to achieving something in school, I could hear my father’s words “si se puede” – meaning “you can do it” – playing in my head. So long as I believed I could excel and go beyond in my studies, I felt that I could open doors of opportunities for myself.

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

I believe my cumulative employment, education, and life experiences, as well as my passions, and vocational direction have uniquely gifted and prepared me to excel in the AGACNP program at South Carolina and to become a compassionate, skilled, servant to my city. I believe strongly in an incarnational and missiological modality of medicine as it relates to nursing, and I am confident that my skills, coupled with Carolina’s uniquely crafted program will enable me to serve a grossly under-served population, and further the field of advanced practice nursing through effective practice which utilizes the most current evidence to improve care. The homelessness of my father developed in me a strong passion for serving those in greatest need and

During high school I decided that I wanted to be part of a program that would guide me to be able to attend college . I didn't really know that much about the AVID program, I only knew that it would help me when I applied to college. Now being in AVID for four years I now know that it is more than just that. AVID has given me many opportunities. It has motivated me to take AP and other College classes, something I might not have done if I wasn’t in AVID.

There are an infinite number of benefits from a career in the medical field, but the defining point in my decision is the impact that I would potentially have in other people’s life. I want to be the person that continues one’s fight when they feel like they can no longer fight. The person who sees people at some of their worst times and still gives them hope for the future, no matter what the situation may be. Additionally, it has always been a dream of mine to grow up and truly enjoy waking up each morning to go do what I love. I see a medical career being exactly what would transform this dream of mine into a reality if I were one day blessed enough to have a career in

I was born the fourth of December 1991 in Cranbrook British Columbia. I lived there for 18 years. Before joining the military I worked as a fry cook at a Burger King for three years and held part time jobs working for the College of the Rockies summer camp programs during the summer. My parents are currently living together in Cranbrook BC. My father works outside the province testing railway tracks for two months at a time, then returns home for two to three weeks. My mother acts as the main contact point of the family, she works as a financial clerk. I have a 22 year old sister who will be attending university in Calgary this September. I attended Mount Baker Secondary School in Cranbrook and graduated in 2009

If I am accepted to the Illinois Math and Science Academy, I would be so honored and grateful. I look forward to the hands-on curricular offered at IMSA. I wish to be well prepared for my future. I plan on using the opportunities given to take initiative, explore my curiosities, step outside my comfort zone, take charge of what I’m doing with confidence, think for myself, work on different challenges, and build my independence.

It is a pleasure for me to write for admission into the AAEP program offered at your esteemed institution. When I was little, I met many teachers who constantly inspired and motivated me. Thus, I made the important life decision of becoming an educator in order to ensure that many more pillars of tomorrow can receive the attention, care, and quality education they deserve. I have not regretted my decision since then. After I graduated from the University of Education, I passed the highly competitive and challenging teacher qualification exam in my country with flying colors and soon began my prestigious career as an art teacher serving the needs of children in junior high schools nationwide. Teachers shoulder the responsibility of educating

CU Boulder is an institution that prides itself on its diversity and ingenuity. Much like CU, I believe myself to be an innovator and see the world through a different lens. I've never embodied the American dream of being a white, Protestant male with a suburban home and a white picket fence, but I’ve embodied how to be Boulder-bound. I've built my confidence from the ground up, I’ve gone beyond my limits to test my ability to achieve great things, my intellect has gotten me far in my education, my intestinal fortitude has opened the doors to great opportunities, and I’ve accomplished it while being a double minority.

I would like to become a student at ASMS because I have always had a deep rooted interested in science, particularly science with real life implications such as health science, robotics,environmental science,sports science etc. I have explored these subjects through a variety of avenues. I have worked with the robo roos FLL team and competed coming first in adelaide and competing in sydney where I personally won the programming award. At army cadets I have used various bomb disposal robots and through school and have taken part in and run various investigations regarding sports science.

In our lives, we have to make important choices, and sometimes our choices determine our happiness or sadness. As a Filipino, our families tell us to do well in school and to not make bad choices because they want us to be successful and to have ethical morals. Growing up as a Catholic, I was taught to be obedient and respectful to my family which has shaped who I am today. Yet, I too made some mistakes, and I learned from the consequences. From my failures, I learned to not belittle myself, but to grow.

I have a wide range of skills and knowledge that I have acquired throughout my personal and professional life. I can communicate with different types of people regardless of age, race or class.
