I am applying for the both Greater Charlotte Market Fellowship (2) and the System Level Fellowship (1). I feel that both fellowships will help me to accomplish my goals. I am someone that others regularly go to for help in any situation they are encounter. Whether it be problems with their computer or in their personal, others feel that they can come to me and that I will always do everything I can to help them no matter the situation they are in at the time. In any work environment, I have been in I have always been looked to as the leader. It has never mattered whether I was new to the position or had been there for an extended period. People who had worked in the same position as me for several years longer still came to me for help …show more content…
Others have often asked, "If I enjoy helping others why I did not go into the medical profession?" The answer to this question is that I am not particularly a fan of blood. I knew though that I still wanted to find a way to make a difference in people's lives within the healthcare industry. I was able to find such a thing through interning as Cone Health. There I was able to see how each of the different parts of the hospital help it to run and that without those doing work in the background physicians and nurses would be unable to do their job to the best of their ability. Each department interconnected with one another and one small thing from someone could have an enormous impact on patient care. I found this to be something I would enjoy immensely. I discovered that I would be able to help others and have an impact on their lives even if it was inadvertent.
The fellowships within Novant would allow me to gain a better and deeper understanding of how a healthcare system functions. I want to find ways of helping others and improving patient care to a level that others have never seen before. I have seen through my personal experience of having a brother with both mental and physical disabilities just how different those within the healthcare profession can act towards patients. A lot simply see patients as a number and do not care to see them as human beings who need understanding. Others though, go beyond and find ways to make a
Throughout my life I have had a plethora of different experiences working with children, adolescents, and teens with disabilities. I have been able to work, coach, and mentor peers through academics, sports, and different organizations involving children and adults with disabilities. My younger brother Morgan is 16 and has Down syndrome. Once Morgan was born my parents became very involved in the disability community. With my parents being so active within the community, this provided me with many opportunities for me to volunteer and work with peers of various abilities.
To pursue as an undergraduate student at Indiana University, I aspire to attend the College of Arts & Science to earn my Bachelor's of Science degree in biology and to ultimately become a cardiologist. Furthermore while being an undergraduate student at IU, I want to be part of the Atkins community and the Hutton Honors College. I mostly want to be part of the Atkins community because I will be able to find other black college students who may share the same similar interests and background that I have. I plan to invest so much time there and to help them flourish, as well of giving back to the black community. Also, I am a very hard working student that excel through their rigorous courses in high school; I want to be surrounded by students who share those same traits while being at Indiana University. Likewise, the Hutton Honors College will also keep my hard working skills sharp and secure. I want to be part of such an intelligent school to endeavor the challenges to become a greater, stronger, and vigorous student.
I will strive to be a valuable member of the Honors College. I aspire to share my attitude of hard work and dedication with my other classmates. Between my classes at Dinwiddie High School, my classes through John Tyler Community College, and my employment for an average of thirty-five hours per week at Swaders Sports Park, I believe that I could share my valuable time management skills with my peers. One major addition I hope to make at VCU is to create a club foundation for those who share the same career interest as me. That interest would encompass becoming a medical professional, specifically, becoming a plastic surgeon. I believe there should be a place where likeminded individuals could meet and prepare for their respective futures. I am very much looking forward to my time at the VCU Honors College, and I hope I am given the chance to prove that I can bring positive change to
Despite my enrollment on Blinn TEAM, I took advantage of many opportunities that otherwise only those who are fully enrolled at Texas A&M would take. I am a member of the Corps of Cadets, a New Student Conference Orientation Leader, and a student worker on the Texas A&M campus. All of these experiences have exposed me to lessons, hardships, and joys that I do not regret going through for a single second.
I am writing to express my interest in the biology teaching position at Bard High School Early College (BHSEC). I am currently holding a New York City initial certification in adolescent biology education as well as a Master degree in Biology. I have experience teaching at a high school as well as a college level. I believe that my experience and qualification is a great fit for this position.
Since I was fifteen I have always been drawn to answering important questions, engaging in meaningful discussions, and touching lives in intentional and personal ways. My favourite thing to do is disciple; engage in authentic conversations about life, relationships, and Jesus through a mixture of counseling, mentoring, and teaching. I have been intrigued by philosophy and theology since high school. Since then I did my undergraduate degree at Summit Pacific College, close to where I live so that I could help my family build our new house, while preparing to impact my world for Christ. At Summit, I earned a BA in Religion, with a major in Biblical Theology. In this major I took exegetical coursework, first year Hebrew and Greek, and was prepared for Graduate studies with a thesis course.
I fell in love with politics at the age of 10, the year was 2004, and I liked John Kerry because he shared my name. I also supported him because my father, at the time, was supporting George W. Bush and I was a rather antagonistic child. Over time I’ve certainly become more nuanced in the candidates I support, but that year began a lifetime journey into a field that is ever changing, ever competitive, and that impacts so many lives.
My qualifications include 10 years of healthcare and business administration experience. Also of note is my accomplishment as an undergraduate in Health Care Management. In which, I expect to serve as a leader in the management of healthcare and related services. For the past several years, I have researched on and coordinated projects
I am a sixteen-year-old black boy born to two uneducated disabled Haitian immigrants, living in a house of three, family of 12, well below the poverty line. I am a product of my environment. Everything that I think, see or say today has been directly proportional to the people and experiences I have had yesterday. The mentality of success or failure has been ingrained in my mind since birth and has been the primary catalyst for my hardy work ethic. I live in Orlando and attend a predominately caucasian school on a magnet program waiver. The school I am supposed to attend does not have the support necessary to make students successful; it is, unfortunately, a stereotypical impoverished school, where many students and faculty settle for the bare minimum. I am one of only thirty remaining scholars in the William R. Boone High School Law Magnet. I maintain a 5.03 weighted GPA and am in the top 1% of my class. I thank my formal education for providing me with the ability to function in modern society; it is my informal education, the product of my background, that has provided me with the form/direction in life.
Since I’ve begun my studies, Sacramento State University has provided me with a whirlwind of exciting changes and opportunities in the local community to grow as an adult. I recognize that college isn’t a necessity that aids people in achieving the new American Dream; it helps you individually in stimulating one’s self professionally and personally. Critical thinking and reflection has helped me improve from being a wallflower of an undergraduate to a confident community member and scholar. Not only does this college help me develop skills in my desired field, it helps me learn how to think properly and develop genius in the real world.
One reason I would like to Volunteer at Baylor Scott & White in Grapevine Is to get exposure to different medical fields inside the hospital. I know that this program is not a shadowing opportunity or anything of that nature. However, every time I step foot in a hospital I get extremely excited and ready to go to medical school. I am not only doing this for the experience though. One of the things that brings me the most joy in life is being able to help people. In fact, that is one of the reason’s I want to go into the medical field.
A core principle I live my life by is that I must continue to redefine themselves throughout my lifespan while maintaining true to the core values that have made me the man I am today. I take on novel adventures to expand my life’s experiences to become more whole as an individual. This is why I am applying for a Masters in Counseling Psychology.
This is shown through his superb community service which connects with my counseling. My dedication when it deals with assisting others is great. For instance, I remember this one time I was reading to the children during the National Dr. Seuss reading week, any individual can see that this distinctive guy such as myself was in his prime element. I certainly have a gift for children and that specific day I was a witness to this greatness. Given enthusiasm and passion to serve the community are like no other. My love going to the YMCA and working with the younger kids, I feel as though they are the generation that will precede us and inherit everything that we have established. Considering they will be building on the foundation we have developed he feels that we need to work closely with them and mold them into greatness. Watching me work with the kids daily you can see the care and
As an undergraduate student in the early 1980s, my intense focus landed me an Auburn degree with High Honors and a foundation for a successful career as a fighter pilot and then airline pilot. In my early 20s, the driving force to achieve was only to open the door in order to become a pilot. Everything in my life revolved around flying. This tunnel vision, although fine at the time, can only be realized by someone who has lived their passion and then retired. There are so many other interesting subjects to be explored once someone hits age 50 and beyond. The pursuit for more knowledge isn’t for making more money or to have another diploma to add to the clutter that already exist of accolades through a career that spans 30 years of flying jets in peacetime and combat. It’s to contribute to the future of others.
When I began my journey as an undergraduate at Northeastern University, I was seventeen and had little idea of where this path would take me. I did not know my decision to turn down a acceptance to the University of Maryland instead enroll in Northeastern’s D’Amore-McKim school of business reflected my need to better understand my role in society.
