Bucknell University Personal Statement

only make my mother proud, but I also want to make myself proud because I know that I can guarantee myself a stable life setting when I graduate from a university. My sole purpose of attending college is to ensure that I can survive in the real world as a working class member, and know that I can achieve.

Out of all of the skin care products in the world, your bathroom cabinet needs to be filled with products researched and designed by me. When I entered high school, I discovered my passion for selecting lip sticks, lip glosses, lotions, perfumes, and makeup foundations. You name it. After learning about the connections between the information in my chemistry class and these items, a light bulb went off! I maintained an A average in chemistry throughout the whole year! Additionally, in 2014, I became a student in the Academy of Engineering and Technology, which also heightened my interests in chemistry. In a science fair at that academy, there was a chemistry course where we made colorful slime, and during that process, I learned that I get an adrenaline rush when I am mixing different chemicals together to see what the outcome is. Majoring in chemistry at Norfolk State University will definitely prepare me for a very successful future in chemistry! My ultimate goal is to conduct research and development for chemical cosmetics. I plan to obtain employment at the greatest companies in the world such as L'Oréal and Avon.

Until about 2 years ago I was not quite sure what path I would choose for my future career, let alone what path I would choose when I arrived at college. I tended to be adept at subjects such as science and mathematics throughout my high school life, however I was never particularly fond of any one subject in particular. However, that changed my senior year of high school when I enrolled in AP Chemistry. I was intrigued by chemistry when I attended the pre-AP Chemistry course, however I was not particularly interested at that moment. However, AP Chemistry came with a plethora of hands-on experiments and procedures that existed to illustrate basic concepts of chemistry. Although it may sound mundane, I was amazed at some of the concepts we learned being implemented in front of our eyes, and I was especially

The contributions that I will bring to West Chester University all have to do with the ideals by which I live. First of all, I have been told that I have a friendly and inclusive nature. I am a very driven and motivated individual who derives much satisfaction out of leading and helping others. I feel these qualities contribute when I participate in the various activities and community services which are a part of my life. As part of the executive board of the Health Activism and Awareness Club we have been able to successfully raise attention to various life-threatening diseases. My nature and drive allowed me to recruit over one hundred volunteers for the club’s annual 5K to raise awareness towards different charitable organizations such

As a transfer student, I want to feel California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) such as my home. Being ambassador, it is the best to learn about my school, share my experiences, motivate other students to work towards their goals, look for help if they need, show other students our school's resources, and make others feel special for being part of CSUF.

The pursuit of knowledge helped me love books and which brought me to Creighton University. Since my childhood I was eager to learn as much as possible, specifically the environment. I was fascinated about wildlife and how beautiful it looked. Being a native from Nairobi, Kenya; I was able to go to the safaris and learn about the different animals. These are the memories which I vividly remember and keep close to me. When I went back many years later, I was disappointed to see how my city has changed. This was disheartening because the city didn’t change for the best. This caused me to go for a minor in Sustainable Energy. The Energy department at Creighton is being cut back on and is limiting our class options to learn. Northeastern University

Growing up, most kids in my generation had Disney Channel or Barbie Dolls. As I was raised with 6 siblings and cousins and having just emigrated from England, my family did not have ample money to expend on cable or fancy toys; subsequently, I resorted to books. As I read more and more, my interests began to broaden, and my keen admiration and curiosity for how and why things work in certain ways progressed. As I grew older, I realized that science could be used to answer many of life’s most complex questions. Once I was accepted early into The University of Georgia, I declared my major as Biology with a pre-medical intent, deciding to further pursue my curiosity about living organisms. I soon realized that I needed to achieve more, and decided

Personal interests are what make me happy and want to grow as a person. Some of my interests include chemistry, physics, math, technology, and people. I enjoy chemistry because it brings material information into a form that can show what can react. It allows for creation of new materials that can be assessed for usability. Physics is another one of my interests because it shows how real-life problems can be solved and optimized using math. Math is an interest of mine because it can solve almost anything. There are many forms of math that get used in areas of science all the time. I am a technology lover because it makes tasks easier, and it also allows for so many improvements in

Things often don't go as planned in life, but sometimes it's for the better. I never actually planned on attending Iowa State University, but now that I'm signed up to attend, I can't wait to learn more about myself and develop through classes, clubs, and the NROTC program.

I was motivated to apply to Flagler University because it is a smaller university, where I believe I will have the opportunity to get to know my instructors and build a closer student-teacher relationship. There's also more intimacy with the ability to get to meet other students because of the closer and smaller student community population. I've attended private catholic school a majority of my life, the class sizes have always been smaller and I think it's a great and easier way for me to learn---that's why I think Lynn University would be a great school for me. Also, from what I've heard from friends that are current Lynn University students, the school is very diverse and I think it's important to be exposed to different cultures and ethnicities

When I was growing up, my parents always encouraged me to do well in school and to go college to create a better and brighter future for myself. Growing up with parents that did not even finish middle school, I always knew that I wanted to go to college, but once I reached my senior year of high school, I felt confused as to what I really wanted to do. I always thought that I somewhat knew what I wanted to study, but once I got to the end of high school, I began wondering what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Therefore, I decided to apply for the COMPASS program at UCF because I like the areas of science and math, so I thought that I could explore some more majors in those areas. As I took MHS 2330, I became more exposed to the various

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 I sat at the long table in a classroom with over a thousand kids, I was ready to start the state science test that I had worked so hard to study for. As I nervously sat there waiting, it dawned on me that this, science and chemistry, is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

I graduated from Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) as a Bachelor in Integrative Arts with focus on music in May 2011, and this was my second Bachelor degree after my first Bachelor degree in Architecture that I obtained from Parahyangan Catholic University (Bandung, West Java Indonesia). My career as an architect includes building and renovating houses and stores, and designing the interior part. In piano studies, I achieved a Licentiate of The Royal School of Music (LRSM) in Piano Performing from the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music (ABRSM, London, UK) in 2004, and became a piano teacher for nine years in my hometown Bandung before I came to the US to study. When I was a student of Western Michigan University (Kalamazoo, MI), I joined the Collegium Musicum as its pianist in which we had a concert performing early Baroque pieces.

The most progressive discoveries of all time have two elements in common: a component of critical thinking and a component of creativity. It is these two dimensions that led to my selection of biomedical engineering as my major. After being a student at Harford Community College (HCC) for two years, I recognize that I have reached my full potential here and need to transfer in order to continue growing as a student. As an active member in the STEM program, majoring in Chemistry with Calculus-Based Physics at HCC, I developed the necessary logistical skills and analytical mindset needed in order to grasp concepts and utilize them effectively. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have continued to develop myself as a musician by playing at various events as well as improvising my own music.
