Artist Collective: The Importance Of Arts For Minority Students

More importantly by obtaining a Masters in Art Therapy I hope to better serve my community and the needs of future clients by broadening my understandings of psychology. I am loyal to a fault, flexible, optimistic, openminded, meet deadlines with grace, passionate, empathetic, eager to learn, a hard worker, and a positive person. These qualities simply graze the surface of who I am, nevertheless I am confident that these characteristics will benefit my aspirations to become an Art

As faculty in the School of Performing Arts, we rely heavily on are own artistic experiences to add depth, knowledge and meaning to the educational environment we create for our students. Diversity almost informs every aspect of what we do as artists, and teachers.

I want to be a social worker and a master’s degree is necessary for my desired profession as a social worker. I am driven to attend graduate school at this time in my life because I am also seeking that sense of fulfillment. My plans immediately following graduation is to pursue a job as a licensed child/family social worker or a clinical social worker. Five to seven years following graduation, I plan to become a supervisor or greater in the field of social

To accomplish anything in life, you must set goals. These goals must be realistic and achievable. Two years ago, I was at a point in my life that I never believed I would see. I was finally at my associate’s degree graduation day. Becoming at teen mom at 17, college had never even crossed my mind. This was a moment in my life where I was able to not be your average teen mom statistic. Continuing to better my life and my daughter’s I set a new goal after graduation to achieve my bachelor’s degree. After speaking with UMUC counselors, I decided to obtain my bachelor’s degree in Social Science with a minor in Emergency Management. Currently, I am in my final two classes at UMUC with a scheduled graduation date of May 15.

I have always envisioned myself working with children and their families, but my experiences in college and beyond are what have shaped my enthusiasm for school psychology. At the University of Cincinnati I focused my education on families and children. Although my overall GPA falls just below the mean for your program, as my letters of recommendation indicate, I believe that my major GPA (3.89) and my experiences outside the classroom, give a better indication of my preparedness for graduate school. As a teaching assistant for a Childhood and Adolescence Development course for three semesters, I enjoyed the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of the crucial part development plays in all aspects of a child’s life, as well as the many factors that shape a child’s development.

My passion is working with young children. I am interested in the field of child psychology. During the past four years, I have been dedicated to becoming a well-rounded student, immersing myself into my studies. Additionally, I have participated in numerous scholastic, athletic and community service projects in an effort to position myself to be successful in my college

Throughout my life as a child and teenager, I was told by my parents that they worked really hard to get to the safe town and community that we lived in. Growing up in Pacific Grove, California gave me lots opportunities that I didn’t even know I obtained. Unless it had happened to me personally, I didn’t really understand the full picture of what others had to go through. Having dyslexia, the only subject I felt I really excelled in was art. After high school, I still had no idea what I wanted to do for a career or even a major. Monterey Peninsula College has boosted my confidence by showing me that I can be and do much more. Two years ago I would never have guessed that I would be applying to the University of Washington.

As a recent graduate of Iowa State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art and Design focusing on art history and education, the position as Education Coordinator and Advisor at Buena Vista University captured my attention as an opportunity to work with students through educational programming. As a recent college student, I provide a valuable perspective on academic advising through my own personal experiences. I have learned many advisors lack in truly connecting and catering to each student’s individual situation and needs. Buena Vista University, a relatively small area college, provides an opportunity to fully connect and provide personal one-on-one experience all students deserve. Subsequently, students gain the absolute most out of their college education. A large part of my career goals entail helping students of all ages engage, thrive and connect in their own individualized way.

In tenth grade, I moved four hours away from my friends and family to attend a public, residential high school for the arts: the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities (SCGSAH). The school, open to South Carolina students upon audition, offers intense arts study with strong academic classes. Each teacher is passionate about the subjects and students they teach, and every student is devoted to their studies because they truly want to be at school. Despite the intense demands from my academic and arts teachers, I was excited by the level of commitment from both students and faculty and the liberal arts approach to education. When searching for colleges, I chose schools that would continue this liberal arts focus while still

I have a passion for learning, which has been inspired by my undergraduate studies at UCSB. I came into college thinking that I would feel the same about my classes as I did in high school. Most were interesting, but nothing really made me feel inspired about learning until my first quarter Sociology class. I am currently a Sociology major and plan to double major in History, as well as minor in Applied Psychology. These three subjects have grabbed my attention and have made me truly passionate about learning new things. I am working to achieve a high GPA during my undergrad at UCSB so that I can get into a good Graduate School to obtain a Ph.D to further the passion I have for education.

The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) would be a great fit for me because of its vast amounts of areas I could potentially study. Currently, as I am undecided with a narrowed list of potential majors, LSA would be able to give me a fantastic liberal arts education, allowing me to discover subjects and possible careers which interest me.

What is my current situation? I am a senior at CAT studying for the SAT and ACT with a great GPA,good grades and I am taking not one but two Art Classes during the year.Not only will these classes teach me new techniques in art but also prepare me for what I want to do in college.I plan on going to a great college that specializes in Animation,Architecture or engineering in hopes of someday changing the world into my own creation because ,as quoted by Henry David Thoreau,”This world is but a canvas to our

I decided to obtain my Bachelor of Arts degree at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, N.S. where I double majored in Criminology and Sociology and minored in Psychology. Once I graduated, I still did not know what career path was right for me, so I took a year off. In the meantime, I applied to three Schools of Social Work: Dalhousie University in Halifax, N.S., St. Thomas University in Fredericton, N.B., and Memorial University in St. John’s, N.L. I spent my gap year working to save up money so I could pay for my next two years of schooling. I decided to apply to schools of social work because I was really interested in my courses that were related to child development and behaviours, interactions between people and society, social inequality and justice, and human rights, which are all relevant to social work.

Before I can achieve a degree, I must commit to my studies. Education is the strongest foundation in any career. As it stands, I have taken interior design, architecture, and all levels of art including AP studio art, which I am currently enrolled in. My Advanced placement and honors classes have

My want to pursue fine arts as my area of study stemmed from my want to obtain my Bachelors in Fine Arts and help procure a future career in the art museum industry. I want to go beyond what I know to develop an array of skills that will make me an asset in the art world, developing practical and theoretical skills to learn art and design history. Being passionate, innovative, and creative in every aspect of my life I believe acted as my backbone that supported me in venturing into new things. The passionate, innovative, and creative attend The New School which is why I believe my presence as a student would be a perfect fit. Students attend higher education to become enlightened about the majors that will essentially help them become successful in their life. I believe that The New School would be an essential component educating me about fine art as well as expanding my knowledge on topics such as painting, drawing,and
