CSUF Personal Statement

This prestigious $500 award is given to students eager to obtain the ability to think critically, possess effective communication, exhibit integrity and demonstrate preparedness for success.

I’ve never had the opportunity to experience university life after high school as a result of financial responsibilities to my family. Community college was my best hope at beginning my journey to a fulfilling career in the medical field, but it wasn’t enough to fulfill my goals. What I want, or what I need, is a University that will give me the tools and opportunity to move forward even further with my ambitions in life as a contributing member of society. As my friend and I visited different universities, California Baptist University (CBU) gave us a sense of hope and importance we got from no other. I believe by attending California Baptist University I can better myself and that this private university will give me the attention and care I need.

Throughout my time in the military and in civil service, I have cultivated a strong business expertise. Educationally, I have an undergraduate and a graduate degree in business management. One of the actions of a Cemetery Director at any facility is to review and verify the accuracy of all processes to determine if the cemetery is operating in accordance with NCA policies and directives. My challenge as the director of LINC was to improve cemetery accountability and adherence to NCA policies and directives by updating and revising all written internal standard operating procedure and policies. I focused on providing the cemetery staff with accurate procedural practices, tools, and equipment to accomplish their daily tasks. During my review,

Hello, my name is Alan Davis; I’m currently a senior here at FGCU. I am a double major in Legal Studies and Criminal Justice with a minor in Philosophy. I plan on going to law school after this year I haven’t decided on one law school in particular yet. I hope to learn how to connect everything that I have learned throughout my time at FGCU in this class and become better prepared for the professional world.

My mission, as a future FACS teacher, is to teach students the necessary skills that they will need to lead healthy and successful lives.

My desire to both supplement and apply the wide-ranging experiences, skills, and academic background that I have acquired throughout my college career thus far have driven my interest and excitement to participate in the BSF internship this summer. I am motivated to gain the hands-on experience necessary to further my knowledge in the public health sector, as well as to better prepare myself to join the work force after completing my undergraduate degree. The collaborative projects and challenges that I would have the chance to work on within this internship directly correlate with my career goals- to work to contribute to the protection and improvement of the health of all families and populations through the sciences of public health. I see numerous opportunities to achieve this goal through bringing awareness through educational campaigns and interactive activities in health, illness, and wellbeing among the UCSD Community Stations. Furthermore, the prospect of being able to work in teams with individuals from different academic disciplines with various

There are a number of reasons why I have decided to commence a Bachelor of Nursing at CDU. I have been working in the aged care system for a number of years having started as a PCA, and in 2004 in an effort to improve my job prospects I obtained my diploma of nursing and then continued to work in the aged care industry as an endorsed EN. I feel that the time has come to take the next step. I feel that this is a logical step for me and will enable me to make the most of emerging opportunities in the local area; (The future Palmerston Regional Hospital), and also to provide financial security for my family This is becoming increasingly important due to the fact that my partner has a degenerative eye condition and therefore has a limited work

In my past experiences, I am a quick learner. My mangers have apprised my work after a couple weeks. I perform well under pressure in high volume environments. From efficiently handling the cashier to giving the best customer satisfaction, I can multi-task. Customers have told me that my smile has brighten their day. As a frequent hiker and lover of the outdoors, I am knowledgeable about outdoor footwear and apparel. I entrust Merrell with all my hiking boots. With this position, I can combine my interest in outdoor

I have faced many obstacles throughout my high school experience, but the most significant challenge that I had to face was my mother not receiving an education. My mother not receiving an education has affected me economically and my academic achievement because my mother has no education or high school diploma, I haven’t been able to ask for help I needed in my homework, especially mathematics or english, I also feel like I can not talk to her about concerns about careers or universities, or for any type of school advice. It’s hard having a parent who doesn’t have a background information on what we are learning at school,

After I attended a campus visit this summer, I knew that I wanted to call IU my humble abode. As an undergraduate at IU I plan to partake in and enjoy as many activities that I can; whether that’s tailgating on a friday night or drinking a fat-free latte in the Indiana Memorial Union. When I’m not busy studying, I plan to pursue my love for helping people. Community service has always been a big part of my life and I want to continue my volunteerism at IU. Along with being active in the community I am eager to join the College Republicans at Indiana University. I come from a very politically active family but I actually have never been “into” politics. Lately however, it's began to spark my interest so I guess it’s time to see what all the

Hi! I am Lawrence Clark, and I’m a student here at CCA. This is my 9th year in Connections Academy, and from all these years with the school, I got to know everything about the cirriculums and information about the school. CCA gives me a chance to work and communicate with teachers and classmates. This school gives me an opportunity for an improved education, and a higher amount of knowledge. My goals to accomplish includes getting into a great college, and following my career and what it takes to reach it.

As a 17-year-old about to graduate high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. When I applied for UNF, I listed my major as exploratory since nothing was popping out at me. I discovered my passion what I want to do for the rest of my life halfway through fall semester, even though I still feel ignorant since I have only scratched the surface. After learning about the construction department at UNF, I shadowed a project manager back home and ran for project manager in my pledge class.

My research mentor Dr. Amy Sitapati and my academic mentor Dr.Joe Ramsdell from the Department of Medicine, have both been tremendous sources of inspiration. Having witnessed the rigorous clinical and research training at UCSD firsthand, I strongly believe that Internal Medicine training at UCSD would definitely go a long way in strengthening my clinical skills and shaping my career.

My parents raised me with a strong sense of kindness, independence, and work ethic that has guided me through academics and service. In my home, you succeed in academics by studying hard and doing what you can to get good grades- whether that be extra credit, tutoring, or retaking tests if the teacher allows it. At the same time, I was taught never to rely on other people to get opportunities for me or push me through- I had to want it. These values have shaped my choices both in education and extracurriculars.

Every child wants to change the world by implementing their interests into a professional career. Like many others, I still hold onto this urging reality. Since my first visit to SMU five years ago, I have discovered the amiable suburban environment along with the distinctive set of academic disciplines made a remarkable distinction upon my college search. Aspiring to study my majors upon medical and education fields, my interest to SMU ignited when I discovered the new professional pursuits of becoming an educator as well as a pediatrician hold true to SMU’s appealing double major opportunities in Early Childhood Education and Pre-Health. SMU distinguishes herself from multiple other surrounding universities by openly encouraging such breadth of sophisticated study and introducing the well-known skill sets elaborated through different subjects to be universally interdependent and pragmatic within the depths of realistic society.
