Americorps Personal Statement

I have been interested in Technology and certain aspects of Science since I was a child. As I became older I came to a realization of how much I love Technology; I began to excel in my technology and engineering classes but not do as great in my science classes. I began to loathe science as I took upon the love of Engineering. As I have researched different types of engineering in previous years, I have stumbled across Agricultural and Environmental Engineering. I have decided instead of seeing science a challenge I cannot overcome I should work harder to be better at the subject. Therefore, I can combine my love for the planet and horticulture with my love for technology and engineering. Having an internship at USDA as a Senior will further help me achieve my goal of having a career in the STEM field. I feel having an Internship my senior year will cause me to further succeed as the research I will hopefully be doing can cause me to grasp a better understanding of the different types of careers open to me in the future.

AmeriCorps is a good program to be in. It trains you on how to help people with different health and mental issues. The program is based upon a non-profit organization. They can participate in many charitable events to raise fund for the less fortunate. Therefore it’s a good program to have on your side as you can see the program is worldwide and it is bigger and they are standing strong. They are in the process of developing an alumni group to allow former participate to maintain active.. As a true volunteer, this is an opportunity to volunteer as an UAB AmeriCorps alumni in an organized fashion. An alumni needs to be open minded, flexible, able to participate in at least one annual project, as well as others if they so

I would like to be a part of the WSU Army ROTC program because I have a lot of potential to offer and I want to develop into a full fledged Army officer. The military path is something I have always wanted to pursue since junior year of high school. The influence of growing up in a Navy family helped shaped my decision to enlist in the Army National Guard. I was fortunate enough to be advanced from PV2 to PFC at the end of BCT on November 2016. During Initial Entry Training I realized that my goals and beliefs were aligned with beliefs such as the Army Values and LDRSHIP principles. After learning about the Army values and LDRSHIP principles, I integrated these beliefs into my everyday life as a soldier and a working student.

While I was in college I had a life transforming encounter with Jesus. This encounter caused me to become more globally minded. Therefore, after graduating college I decided to give a few years of my life to missionary work so that I could positively impact and enhance the communities around me both foreign and domestic. It has been both challenging and rewarding. Just like in athletics, I have learned valuable lessons from ministry as well. During this time as a minister, I have truly learned the value that is found in leading, empowering, developing, and mentoring others. I not only want to reach the fullness of my God-given potential, but I want everyone that is placed around me to be enhanced, inspired, and equipped to reach their potential as well. As a missionary, I know how to call greatness out of those that follow me; those skills will carry over into the Army to benefit and greatly enhance all of the soldiers that are under my leadership. I want to begin a lifelong career of leading in the Army because of the vastness of its reach, the values that it encompasses, and because of the global impact that it continually

Working within the Veterans Affairs work-study program has many different avenues that interest me. I have found that I have a great deal of passion working in customer service and the office environment. I feel that with my prior training and experience I would be a valuable asset within the organization. I am a very self-motivated person that is very dedicated to my job and to my coworkers. My prior experience has been in active duty Air Force where I served a 9 year enlistment before separating honorably as an E-5/ Staff Sargent.

I am a recent graduate in Political Economy at UC Berkeley. I have built my leadership and teamwork skills throughout my work and academic experience. I served as a coordinator for the Cambodian Children’s Project. I coordinated the group meetings with my team members, set up the agendas, and collaborated with other team members to raise money for the organization through fundraising events. Furthermore, I was responsible for budget planning and allocating

In early July, 2014 I had just graduated high school. I decided I wanted to do something spontaneous and to help people. That late may I had gone to a career fair where I obtained an informational packet for AmeriCorps. I didn’t give the packet much thought other than a passing interest. When I graduated I remembered the packet and decided why not. The most important day of my life was the day I officially joined AmeriCorps.

Ever since I decided to major in Animal Science one group that I always talked to when I went to college fairs was the USDA. The USDA always told me the facts that any student wanted to hear, that if you worked for them they would pay for your student debt and that you would get a higher pay rate within the first five years of work. However, I was more interested in the work that they do and how they can help me achieve my goal.

Motivation drives us to accomplish our goals in life. A simple sentence such as "I can get through this day." or "I can become president." turns into the driving factor that helps us reach our destination. We all have used the "I can" statement and American Eagle has taken that statement to the next level in their #WeAllCan Campaign. The minute long video features a cast of celebrities in different settings throughout New York like Coney Island wearing a casual style of clothing. Black and white scenes intertwine with color scenes throughout the video, with even a vintage style of film shown. Through the credibility of the cast, the American Eagle Campaign effectively appeals to a target audience of millennials. The campaign uses pathos to create a cause of individuality and speaking out, but only uses those celebrities in a stereotypical way to sell the brand of clothes.

The master of arts degree in homeland security program will provide me a deeper understanding and stronger foundation in homeland security by delving into the core elements of homeland security. This increased enlightenment will have a complementary result of better preparing me to be a knowledgeable, senior level homeland professional. As a veteran with 32 years of honorable service in the United States Army, my time spent in the military has given me a greater understanding and knowledge of the current threats that face our nation. I believe this program will provide me the opportunity to expand my understanding of the nature and sources of threats facing our social, political, and economic systems. In addition, this program will help me

I have spent the greater part of my life dedicated to service. Therefore, upon leaving college I decided to do an AmeriCorps year of service and then decided to pursue my MSW at BU. However, with my MSW came financial burdens that I could not take on with my meager saving from my year of service, much which was used to relocate to the Boston area, and my Segal Award, which was not matched by the school. I have no outside financial resources an am support myself through working part-time. I will be unable to work as much due to the demands of advance year placement.

Emigrated from the Philippines, the moment I step into the American soil, I knew that I was given an opportunity to serve and contribute my unique view of the world. Aside from having a degree in Accounting, my Public Affair major with Public Management specialty, will allow me to

I was previously an Albanian citizen. I was raised surrounded by a violent civil war and civil unrest in the nation which is still nowadays plagued by corruption and extreme economic inequalities. Becoming a US citizen was for me an unimaginably great opportunity for which I feel in debt to my now fellow Americans. For this reason, my ultimate career goal is to give back to the great community that has taken me in as one of their own by tackling the problem of inequality between neighborhoods in New York. As a future physician, my goal will be to work in economically disadvantaged areas to not only treat, but also educate children, teenagers, and young adults about their personal health care. With the opportunities that the Summer Public Health Scholars Program can offer me, I plan to ultimately play my part in the nationwide effort of eliminating inequalities of populations in disadvantaged environment so that every American citizen of all ages may one day witness the great opportunities and true equalities that are promised to them under our great

I am writing this letter to respectfully ask for your support in helping me become one of the many distinguished cadets at the United States Military Academy. I have achieved so much in my 16 years of life and being appointed into the academy will be very well-deserving and forthcoming to all the amazing opportunities that the academy has to offer. I have worked tremendously hard to obtain a 4.0 gpa and maintain a class rank in the top 100 of my 1000 person class. With your help I can hopefully be appointed as a West Point candidate for the class of 2022.

Working with nonprofit agencies and AmeriCorp V.I.S.T.A. (Volunteer in Service to America), I had the opportunity to learn firsthand at the efforts given within agencies to service the environment and the public by making changes, and implementing reforms on different issues. I found I have a passion for people, legal policies, compliances, and I am very good as a spokes person, or advocate speaking on change. During the time when I was facilitating as a General Education Development instructor for
