CCA Personal Statement

I’ve grown up with the influence of strong women in my life, a lot of which came from my sisters. One of my sisters was a member of National Honors Society and she always taught me in the ways to conduct myself like a member would. So growing up I would always try to be the best person I could be whether that means by studying my hardest, leading the way for my peers and other generations, doing good deeds for others, or building my character. I would try to tie in the values to make me as unique and individual as I could.

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.

I felt my heart racing, heard my name being called, and suddenly, anxiety turned into elation. Within moments, I was walking across the international stage in Orlando in front of 16,000 people. I had won 5th at DECA Internationals!

As a physician I have seen many patients with mental health disorders they have been on many allopathic medications; experiencing several adverse effects and most of them didn’t aware any other alternative treatments or adjuvant measures to help with their mental health. After I migrated to Canada, I got an opportunity to work with an Integrative Family Doctor, who prescribes natural treatment for many patients’ conditions. I was surprised with the symptoms relief many patients expiring, while they were adding natural therapies to their treatment plan. Sometimes those measures were life style or dietary changes, sometimes naturiceutical prescribed as an adjuvant therapy to patients’ antipsyhiatric medications, another occasion it was totally natural treatments. It opened my eyes about alternative treatments and decided to explore more about natural treatment for mental health disorders. So, I decided to study naturopathic medicine at

Education has always been an important foundation upon which my family encouraged the most. Not just the education pertaining to structured schooling, but the fundamentals in life that require you to interact in society and be a part of something bigger than yourself. They demonstrated how to commit to values such as responsibility, motivation, and consistency; and, how to be open-minded and passionate about the things you believe in. These things all required a sacrifice in various ways. They always stress how “sometimes you need to give up something to get ahead, or how sometimes sacrificing the familiar and what you expect from yourself to get the results that you are seeking in the long run.”

With my twenty years of experience in Early Childhood Education, I’ve collaborated with teachers in developing and implementing ideas to support student’s academic performance. I performed student’s academic assessments. I complied and maintained daily logs based on student's level of progression. In addition, I logged in financial statements, received inventory items and organized inventory for distribution of class materials needed for instruction. I’ve provided effective parental support with the families to develop and implement teaching techniques to enhance their child's growth development and knowledge of school readiness skills. My resume contains additional information on my experience and

For eighteen years now my parents have influenced me to do my best in academics and extracurricular activities. Both of my parents have gone to college and both have had successful careers. My dad was a highly recognized Police Chief for Waukesha County and is now on the

Thanks to my parents pushing me to do my best, I have an outstanding work ethic in school and on the field. Because of this effort and work put in, I have been a captain on basketball, football, and baseball teams. Not only were my parents important factors but, so were my coaches and teachers. Coaches and teachers have pushed me to do the best I could and told me when I did things wrong, but praised me when I did them right. They helped to slowly build my character, leadership, scholarship and dedication to everything and anything that I do so that when I had to do something it was done the right way instead of halfway.

I do not drink, smoke, or go out to parties. I have a set time that I go to bed for myself so that I can be well rested for school. I make sure that I finish my homework at home, not before class, and I help out my community the best that I can. I do all of this is so that I can keep up my high standing in my town. I committed myself to my town. I sing the national anthem at the memorial day service, I lay flags and pick them up with the veterans, I am also very active in my church. All of this leads back to my academic success, because without my family and friends I would not have the qualities I have now. My mother and father have taught me to be a great leader and to focus on my goals, and being a part of the NHS has been a goal of mine since the seventh grade. I have worked very hard over the years to keep positive people surrounding me and to keep bad influences out of my life, and I will continue it and teach people the importance of keeping positive people in their lives because it can change a

From my days as a little kindergartener till now, I have always taken school very seriously and worked hard to be an honor roll student. I have never missed a day of school in my entire life and I have never failed to turn in an assignment. I have always been determined to be the best in my class and never give up. What drives me to work hard, are the lessons my parents have instilled in my mind at an early age. Since I was little, my parents have preached the importance of school and working hard for my future. Their lessons have taught me profoundly and I can’t thank them enough.

As part of the degree requirements of the Bachelor of Arts in Consular and Diplomatic Affairs program, all CDA students must—before graduating—complete 500 hours of practicum work. To fulfill the graduation requirement for an internship, I was able to grab the opportunity to apply for an internship and use my academic training experience for three years to the workplace in the real world. The course has provided me the venue to further enhance my knowledge and competencies as CDA student in my chosen field of specialization and future career objectives after graduation. As a student trainee, I have been able to take advantage of the tools and skills I have been equipped by my intensive academic formation in the college, to be competent enough

Life may bring endless opportunities in which can shape and form a lifestyle. Opportunities allow each person to be individual and experience unique commodities. Personally, I have come to find that the career internship program has been a life changing opportunity. As it taught me great morals, the internship allowed me to get a hands on experience with my future.

For years, I have always wanted to be either a nurse or a doctor and being in Health Science One and Health Science Foundations has brought me to learn new things over time about the body and its functions, medical terminology, and getting certifications for different things in healthcare. Having the opportunity to be in the CMAA class would teach me everything I need to know if I were to work in healthcare in an office setting. I am great with people and working hands on in a doctors office will give me a full view on what it’s like in the real world.

Looking forward, I hope to bring my understanding of and appreciation for complexities to Washington University School of Law. My diverse identity and experiences have taught me to approach people and situations with nuance. I grew up between a large Hispanic family and a predominantly white, well-educated community. I have grown up between the culture of the progressive and diverse D.C. and the conservative and homogenous Midwest. While challenging, living between distinct groups has showed me that life is more in the middle than anything, and the truth usually lies there as well.

Personal Statement I have been always goal oriented, upon my arrival to the United State of America, my first attempt to be enrolled into college, but due to my visa status I was not able to do that. My experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant on a Cardiology and Dementia Units of the hospital has shown me the many different aspects of working in the medical field. I have been able to come in contact with a variety of patients, with different purpose of life story. As I connected with some of the patients, I got the positive difference which I was making in their life.
