Alpfa Personal Statement

Education. It is a vital source needed in order to succeed. Though many schools offer a basic education, there are not many that offer the advanced level of learning that ASMSA provides. While attending ASMSA, I hope to be taught at a higher level that better suits my standards. ASMSA will give me the prospect to learn at a level that I can use to challenge myself to better my future.

While I was an undergraduate student at the University of Texas, several of the things I deeply enjoyed were taking interesting classes that did not pertain to my degree plan and entering these courses with an open mind. Some of these courses I genuinely enjoyed were Spanish, Middle Eastern Studies, and Literature of Renaissance Florence. My interest in applying to PLFSOM is similar to taking these liberal arts courses. Because PLFSOM is situated on the US/Mexico border, I will have the opportunity to immerse myself into another culture while focusing on medicine at the same time.

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

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

My senior year is the grand conclusion to four amazing years of my high school life. My plans are to attend an in-state university to pursue a degree in Computer Engineering and Informational Technologies. Technology has always been an interest of mine ever since I can remember--as a kid I would tear apart computers just to see how they worked. That spark of interest inspired my love for technology and made me want to pursue it as a career.

I felt my heart racing, heard my name being called, and suddenly, anxiety turned into elation. Within moments, I was walking across the international stage in Orlando in front of 16,000 people. I had won 5th at DECA Internationals!

Prior to high school, my uncle was my chemistry teacher. As a food scientist, he was to me a great inventor who knew everything about the magic of taste, texture, and aroma; I still remember his lecture on “good” chocolate and how cocoa butter—solid at room temperature—melts readily in our mouths. Raised on an early appreciation for the power of applied science, I am now driven toward chemical science by a desire to uncover solutions to challenges in the modern world.

I see myself practicing medicine in an area with underserved populations, due to my experiences working with these groups at AIMMC and Friedman Place. Also, each specialty I observed during my shadowing internship further ignited my passion for medicine, and I see myself learning and growing in my chosen specialty. Lastly, traveling with my parents to Russia to adopt my sister showed me the health disparities around the world; therefore, I hope to be improving global health as a Geffen

My mother’s favorite quote was “work hard for what you want because it will not come to you without a fight.” Growing up in the city of Columbus was pretty easy. The town was pretty decent. I was born to the parents of Termica J. Webber and Paul V. Roland on July 14, 1998. On September 18, 2002 my mother gave birth to my younger sister, Annie Rogina Deanes who is now 13 years old and lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her father. I am the oldest child of my mother and the youngest child of my father. When I turned 6 I instantly moved to a small town of Pheba, MS with my grandmother, Thelma Webber, where times were hard. No one hardly lived in the small town and I was the only child living with my grandmother besides my aunt

If growing up in New York City has taught me anything, it is the gift of optimism and to never give up on your dreams. Even at twenty two while being withdrawn from university, I am still always learning important new life lessons and new things that improve me, and make me not only stronger as a business person and entrepreneur, but my own humanity and existence as well. Being in my own corner of the country can feel disorienting at times, especially when visiting family in other parts of the states. It feels like you are given a brief glimpse through a window at a completely different way of life, despite being relatively close. I feel the next step to learning more about my self and giving me even more of a strong edge is to complete my

This summer, I moved to my current place of residency, Quincy. I traveled across the ocean from Tirana, Albania, to explore and experience new opportunities such as soccer, with a new team, but also begin a new type of education in an American high school. While living in Albania, I never had to help pay the bills, and life was easy because the cost of living was so low. However, when I moved, I began to realize that living in America is more challenging than I expected. I discovered that the cost of living is high and I needed money to have fun with my new friends. Therefore, I decided to look around and applied for a job at Abercrombie & Fitch Kids. I got the job and spent most my summer working at Abercrombie & Fitch. The mind-numbing act

I am glad to introduce myself as Paramesh Kumar Chintala, date of birth February 9, 1987, Indian National, a resident of Hyderabad, Telangana, with passport number L4700443. I am interested in pursuing Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management - PKG (PCK1485471664114) through TAFE South Australia, Adelaide City Campus, as my dream and lifetime goal is to setup a business in my country. This course is not available in my home country. It covers core units such as developing and implementing business plan, lead and manage organisational change, manage finances, and provide leadership across the organisation. I will be supported by my family with finances for the duration of my studies in Australia and I have savings too.

My eldest brother was born when my mother was 16, forcing them to put their aspirations and their educations on a seemingly indefinite hold. I spent much of my early life helplessly watching my parents become zombified slaves to their minimum wage jobs, trapped as the middlemen between their income and the bills. The stress over finances only continued on an upward trend, escalating tensions and slowly destroying the inviting comfort of my home. As I grew older and more displeased with my situation, I became more adamant about ensuring that I didn’t follow suit. After long discussions with my mentor, I chose education as my pathway out of my situation and naturally developed an insatiable hunger for knowledge. The posters of the “Twilight Saga” characters that adorned my walls were rapidly torn off in favor my more intellectual idols—Buddha, Abraham Lincoln, John Green, and Elon Musk. Classic and contemporary novels overflowed from my bookshelves as various article digests arrived in my inbox, all while the latest political commentary looped in the background. The more I read and studied and explored, the more conversational I found myself, a sharp turnaround from the unwilling, socially anxious freshman that I was. Networking in both online and the local community became one of my favorite activities because it exposed me to new people, advice, knowledge, and perspectives, all of which reinforced the interdependent structure of my life. While each person had their own passions, I found myself gravitating towards the people who dedicated themselves to the environment, excited in knowing that others cared so much about our common home. When I was with them, I had an overwhelming sense that we could incur unstoppable change. I knew that I had found my calling, but I didn’t want to follow what my parents encouraged. I didn’t want to just dream bigger than they were able to, I wanted to

I have never allowed myself to become a victim of circumstance. When I learned that I was going to move a few weeks before the start of my junior year, I decided that I would not just wait out the last two years of my high school career, but instead use the move as an opportunity to grow and become more involved than ever in my school and community. My father’s job as a head of school has led me to live in Seoul, South Korea; Weymouth, Massachusetts; Hernando, Mississippi; and now to Greenville, Mississippi, which is in the middle of one of the poorest areas in the nation. Moving in my junior year of high school has stopped me from being in a leadership position in certain clubs, however the move did not hinder my involvement in my school.

My entire life is plight, yet I always make the best of situations. I am an optimist, but I do consider myself a realist as well. At the end of my sophomore year, leading into my junior year of high school, I rested in more than 8 habitations. Stability was elusive, but I craved it like a frightened infant seeking security in his mother. Living as a vagrant student, my only choice was to move schools each time the area that I stayed at changed. Additionally, I attended three different high schools, each from three different districts; rules, people, and teaching methods were variant, of course. Fortunately, there have been positive outcomes from this, such as adaptation and open-mindedness. After going through a rough 20 months with my family,
