Ball State University Personal Statement

Taylor Sampson interviewed Jay Welsh, current Florida Virtual School instructor in Journalism and seasoned broadcast journalist to talk to him about the career of journalism. When asked what would all aspiring journalists study and do before entering the profession he states “Number one is a great writing education. Very little is done without a script, and you are responsible for writing that script.” He also says to follow your passion “There is all types of different fields (for journalism careers). Mine was sports. For others it might be politics, fashion, wild life.” He even says every aspect of life has a journalist path. “The last thing would have to be comfortable speaking. You’re going to be in front of people. It can be a bit egotistical if you like being the center of attention; because that’s what you are.”

Attending Kennesaw State University has been a very rewarding journey. As a current senior in college, I have been given the chance to experience the University environment. An environment full of my interaction with my fellow classmates working in study groups and tutoring sessions. Also having the option to sit in on my professor's 2nd lecture that you did not understand fully during your class period.

As a student at California Baptist University I will strive to be the best student I can be. I count on this university to prepare me for the real world and build towards my future and career. I hope CBU provides me with a lot of experience and hands on training, so that when I graduate I will be prepared. I’m determined to expand my knowledge and become a well rounded individual. I wish to broaden my learning skills overall and become a better student. Learning in a college environment will be different compared to high school, however I am looking forward to obtaining new information from the teachers at CBU.

Touring Dallas Baptist University for the first time in November, I felt part of the culture. The location of DBU is essential in my life because it allows me to continue with my services that already established. The short commute from my house to DBU is convenient because allows me to save money not to live on campus and stay in close contact with my family. As well, this will also give me a chance to continue my community service with St. James Parish in Oak cliff and in West Dallas. Additionally, DBU is prominent because it is in the middle of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, which allows for a wider range of jobs, and networking opportunities. I am in the National Guard and my monthly drills are in Lewisville; this will allow me to continue with my current unit.

As a pre-med hopeful, my criteria for colleges has been the following: the college must have a strong biology program, particularly in genetics, as I plan to major in biology with a concentration in genetics and biotechnology. My ideal college must have a plethora of research opportunities, and it must be affordable for my family. Middle Tennessee State University has met and exceeded all my standards. After applying to colleges with steep tuitions, I realized that I needed to choose a university that would allow me to graduate with little to no debt. My mother had taken courses at MTSU, so I searched the college online and discovered its exceptional biology program. No other Tennessee state school I had researched before had as many in-depth classes as MTSU has.

The University of Mississippi is a second home to me, but also a place that continually challenges me on a daily basis to be better, to think outside of normal constraints, and to become a more effective leader. Serving Ole Miss as a student, and eventually as alumni, is so rewarding.

As a current student at Brazosport College, I am extremely honored to be nominated for the 2017 Distinguished Student Award. I will be graduating in May of 2017, and I can proudly say that completing my first two years at Brazosport College have been an amazing start to my higher educational career.

After high school, I am going to attend Texas A&M to get an undergraduate degree in public economics and after that I will pursue further education at the Texas A&M Law School. I am going to get a degree in law so that when I graduate I can be a partner in my family's law firm. For the past couple of years I have toyed with the thought of either going to join the marines or being a lawyer but in the end I came to the conclusion that becoming a lawyer was the best bet for me; three generations of my family have done it and I would like to fill their shoes and carry out tradition.

The Media Communications Bachelor of Science, MCBS, is a new degree program offered at Full Sail University. The MCBS prepares students to discover and develop the necessary skills to succeed in the world of media and communications by enrolling students in courses that are centered around project-based curriculum. Due to MCBS being a 29-month online degree program, or 20-month on-campus degree program, professionals of the media and communication field are in charge of the courses designed for these budding professionals to take. The opportunity for MCBS students

My inclination for the sciences started to be evident during my first years of high school; however, the dreams of being a “scientist” seem far from being reached when growing up in a third world country. When I came to the United States, I faced not only a whole new world of opportunities, but I also encountered the difficulties of a language barrier and a cultural gap. Throughout my last years of high school and my first year of college, my preference for the sciences, specifically Biology and Chemistry became clearer. Neuroscience had always been in the back of my head, and it was here, at Wake Forest University, during the first semester of my second year that I took my first Neuroscience class together with a lab on the subject. Two classes

As a Communications major and Management minor at Manhattanville College, I am passionate about writing, the media and aspire to work in the broadcasting industry. I truly believe

My video would be very informative for the freshman class of Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, which is part of New York University. There are many good key points that need to be explained to the students as they enter this major. First, the student loans can get quite high when attending a New York University. Next, information about pay grade of journalists will be shown. Finally, they need to know there are many career paths and jobs involved with journalism.

Journalism is an in depth look at the world and events occurring around the human race every day. In order to fulfill such a title, one must earn at least a bachelor’s degree in journalism or communications. Before attending college, a journalism student must have former experience. It is beneficial for students to partake in their high school newspaper or magazine. Students should attend journalistic clubs and conferences. Once admitted into a school, one must take courses in editing, journalistic ethics, reporting, and communications. While enrolled in the mentioned core classes, a journalism student must partake in an internship. Writing internships take place at local newspapers, magazines, and publications. Experience

I came to Canada in summer of 2005 in pursuit of a doctoral degree and got admitted at Dalhousie University. I got a fully funded research position to pursue a project, which was very much in line with the project I did during my Master’s thesis (i.e., finite element analysis (FEA) and testing of advanced material such as composites and smart shape-memory alloys). Thanks to my cross-disciplinary thesis advisor at Dalhousie, during the four years I was engaged in my doctoral studies, I was exposed to a wide range of inter-disciplinary engineering courses problems through various departments (Civil, Mechanical and Materials Engineering departments), and gained significant amount of knowledge and hands-on experience in conducting FEA and testing.

I know that in this career you have to know how to write interesting stories and capture the reader’s eyes and mind. I need to take classes that deal with specific topics that really amplify their time in those departments. I have to be able to know how to read at an appropriate level, and work on vocabulary skills. A journalist has to work on time and cannot procrastinate, I cannot afford to be shy around people and I know I need to get in people’s faces and business sometimes to get a good story.
