Camp Med Personal Statement

I became interested in the STEM camp because I believe this camp will benefit me an enormous deal in the future. Attending the camp will support my future academic goals. In college, I intend to specialize in science, math, and technology. The STEM camp will help develop my educational interests and provide a glimpse into what I can expect from studying the areas of math, science and technology and engineering. I know that my future career will involve knowledge in these subjects and I want to do everything possible to allow myself to be exposed to whatever educational opportunities that can help me develop these skills. I would also like to have an experience at UTRGV because it is one of my possible college choices at this

I have learned to utilize my feelings of powerlessness as fuel to nurture my passion for helping people. I want to acquire the knowledge and skills to improve the health of patients, as well as to establish a relationship that expands beyond the scope of physical care. I am confident in my abilities to surpass your program’s expectations and grow to become a competent physician assistant. Whether it is in Vietnam or in another foreign land, it is with absolute certainty that I will continue to assist and care for

I am interested in participating in the Perry Outreach Program to further explore my interests in medicine and engineering. I have always been interested in pursuing a career in medicine. When I was in middle school, I was interested in neurosurgery, and in high school I became interested in cardiovascular surgery. To further explore these interests, I went to MUSC to shadow Dr. Nicole Cain last summer to see if a job in medicine was the right fit for my career interests. Dr. Cain let me observe her and other cardiologists at MUSC for a week. I learned all about the basics of her job, the surgeries they were performing, and the resident students even began testing me on the things they had taught me throughout the week. That week was probably

I am a volunteer for Camp Kesem, a program that provides support and puts on a summer camp for children and teens whose parents have been affected by cancer. The past year I have volunteered with the organization at "bar-canning" and "tailgate-canning" events, where I have fundraised for and informed people about Camp Kesem. I also organized a flag-football team for one of our largest campus fundraisers, "Football for the Fight." Lastly, I was accepted as a volunteer counselor for this year's summer camp, where I will be a cabin leader for 11-12 year-old

My upbringing combined with my rigorous academic pursuits and AROTC training has bestowed upon me many qualities that would benefit KU School of Medicine. Both ROTC and the pre-medicine discipline are demanding fields and balancing them has required me to be tenacious and a strong leader who can adapt to everyday's unique needs. The constant relocation of my childhood has taught me to adaptability; a strength that has only grown through military training and my studies. Balancing the two presented many challenges and if hardship teaches anything, it is tenacity. I have been tested both physically and mentally and achieved much as an undergraduate. I look forward to facing new challenges in my future and pushing to greater heights. I've also developed a strong leadership persona. I have learned through experience that I possess charismatic leadership, which naturally draws others to me and gives me the opportunity to inspire and motivate them. I look forward to sharing these with KU.

I want to work at camp because I would like to give back. I have attended MFU camp for the past 11 years and I want to give back to MFU and the experience that I had during my years at camp. I would like to make an impact on kids’ lives and help create amazing memories, just like how previous councilors have done for me. I want to help change kids’ lives and give them a week that they will not forget.

When I first came across the Medical Mentorship Program, I couldn’t believe what I was reading. I had finally found a program available to high school students that allows them to shadow physicians, be mentored, and most importantly, embodies volunteerism! After hours of research to find shadowing opportunities, the Medical Mentorship Program was an absolute answered prayer. I’m applying so I can be taught from a willing health professional who not only cares about their own job, but about inspiring and instructing youth. That in itself speaks a lot about the program and the Woodlands & Lakeside Hospitals. This opportunity will give me an in depth perspective into the medical field, and I believe will push me even further to live

The main reason I believe I should qualify for the A-HEC of a Summer program is because of my ambition and curiosity. I am eager to learn more about the world of medicine as I have always had a set interest in the medical field. However, my interest is not just some downtime hobby but rather a full-on pursuit because I hope to go into a healthcare career in my future. In the medicinal field, a health provider must initially know themselves and have total knowledge in order to fulfill each patient’s necessities. I fit this description because as I have a tendency to want to know anything about a topic. I am never afraid to ask questions no one else will. At the same time, I know my limitations. I try to never overload myself with assignments

As a young child, I learned that education would be beneficial to not only myself but also all humankind. Growing up in a Northeast Florida housing project my father and mother did the best they could to raise nine children. My father worked seven days a week in the service industry as a waiter and bartender while my mother worked as a domestic employee in the homes of more affluent people in the south. My father had an eleventh grade education and my mother had not passed the tenth grade before she bore her first child. Neither parent completed high school but they had dreams of their children far exceeding their educational accomplishments. I was child eight of the nine and I knew early on that I did not want to live

When I was first awoken before 8:00 a.m on a Monday morning in July, it is not hard to imagine how unamused I was. My mom had signed me up to volunteer for two weeks at the Munroe Meyer Institute at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Their summer camp for kids with special needs ages three and a half through twenty-one had become my home for the next week. This camp provides an summer camp experience for kids who would not otherwise have one. The campers are divided into groups with staff and volunteers as well. A volunteer at Camp Monroe has a new buddy every day they help their buddy with tasks, offer encouragement, and give simple direction when needed. The activities for the campers include: swimming, cooking, sports, creative

My interest in attending M*A*S*H camp stems from my interest in medicine. I believe that if I were given the amazing opportunity to attend this camp, my want and drive to help those around me would grow tremendously. This experience would also be a great experience to look back on and refer to during my schooling later in my career. In my future, I plan to take the necessary steps to become an obstetrician. Why I’ve chosen Obstetrics as my field of study is because in the summer of 2016, my oldest brother was shot and killed.

I have wanted to go into the military since i was very young. Most children say that they want to be a firefighter or a doctor, but i said that i wanted to be in the military. I remeber looking at pictures and learning about military officers and i felt called to be one of those men. My decision and dreams never changed, as most childrens do when they realize the work required. But for reasons beyond my comprehension, my desire of a miltary life never wavered. Both of my parents' fathers served in the military, one n the Air Force and one in the Army. They told me stories of their days in the military, bragging of their different branhes and I took what they said and choose a school that woud lead to a career in neither of their branches.

Attending camp neuro would be extremely helpful in my search for the right major in college. I have always been passionate about math and science, but there are many paths you can take if you love math and science. For instance, I have thought about medical school, pharmacy school and physician assistant. Nursing has also been an interest of mine since my sister is studying to become a nurse and my aunt was a nurse. Also, I have thought about being a teaching or accounting because both my parents are accountants. Lastly, becoming a chemist or a biologist have crossed my mind. The choices seem endless. I would love to attend camp neuro because I want to see if health care is the right path for me. Right now going to medical school is my goal,

Medicine is a vast field. I have taken various health science classes over the past three years that have given me a brief overview of medicine and physiology. However, I believe that a summer experience at Summer Ventures would allow me to gain a better understanding of science by immersing myself in research and other learning opportunities. During my sophomore year of high school I took AP Psychology to complement my schedule. I wasn’t very serious about the course in the beginning, but over time I found myself becoming really intrigued with the subject. Moreover, I have been left with a lasting desire to learn more about the brain and the human body. An opportunity to do research on a topic such as the health sciences would not only provide

History of MHS – According to Kongstvedt (2007), the history of military health care dates back to the establishment of the Army Medical Department on July 27, 1775 and congress established the position of the nation’s first Director General and Chief Physician which later evolved to the office of the Surgeon General of the United States. One of the first unique features of the military health system is the act that was approved by the congress ordering the deduction of 20 cents a month from the salary of Sailors and Marines for their care in civilian treatment facilities. I personally consider this as the first “insurance payment system” long before the birth of HMOs. As the military expands, they eventually assigned one Surgeon General for each branch of the military except Coast Guard (Coast Guard was under the Department of Transportation and eventually became under Department of Homeland Security after 9/11). When sequestration took in effect, all branches were consolidated under one health care system: Military Health System.
