Civic Engagement Student Personal Statement

I am currently a year 11 students at Beauchamp College. I believe myself to be a dedicated, self-motivated as well as a confident person. I can complete tasks on my own but I can also work well as part of a team. More over I cope extremely well under pressure and always aspire to do everything to the best of my ability. Whilst I have clear objectives, I also take in advice and use it to better my self as a person.

As a student affairs practitioner I believe I am a cornerstone of the higher education experience. I have made it my mission to help students be the best version of themselves for the benefit of not only them, but of society at large. I work to help create not only educated students, but also engaged members of a global society.

My passion for teaching and love for science is rooted in my desire to do something meaningful. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience to further discuss my qualifications as a high school biology teacher in your school. Thank you for your time and

I am the daughter of immigrant, and I myself, am an immigrant. We emigrated Africa when I was seven for various reasons, two of them being political instability and the lack of an effective education system. I am the second oldest of five siblings, meaning I am a first generation college student. With neither of my parents going beyond a high school education, they were unable to fully support my siblings or I financially or in terms of education. Because of that, they put it upon themselves to teach us the importance of education, independence and hard work from a young age. Throughout high school, I worked 2 jobs in order to support myself, and still managed to be in the top half of my class. Through hard work, I ended up getting a full ride to UNL. At the end of senior year I even ended up landing an internship with the UNL Chemistry department for a summer, which I continued working on throughout freshmen year of college.

I had the pleasure to volunteer with Adopt a Rescue Pet with the most wonderful and passionate people for my civic engagement project. I also had the opportunity to work with the founder of the organization Elizabeth Davis Rubin. Not only did I had the chance to work with Elizabeth, but she also gave me the opportunity to come to her office to talk to her about the organization. I learn many things from this project, I got to see the behind the scenes of an organization and all the challenges they come across. On this small journey I also learn about the opportunities some employers give to their employees. After a casual conversation with my manager to request a Saturday off to be able to volunteer, he mentions The Suited for Service Program. Any employers that work with the Suited

For the assignment civic engagement, I volunteer in four projects Temple, Bernie Sanders, Elementary School, and VTA transport to complete my 16 hours community service. However being a part of these amazing projects, I learn and experience a lot of things that how to interact, encourage, and help other peoples.

I have always had an interest in improving the community around us, and would like to be involved in this role by helping out in the community. By joining NHS, I aspire to enhance some of my skills, such as ambition, collaboration, and leadership. I hope to increase my initiative to provide service in the community and to take chances out of my comfort zone. By helping out in the community more with service projects I hope to improve my collaborative, management and people skills. In addition, I hope to improve my leadership skills through public service projects. These projects will not only give me more experience with leadership, but they will also motivate me to help my community and my peers with their endeavors. I believe that joining the National Honor Society at River Hill will teach me essential skills for my future, and improve my community.

In undergrad, I volunteered my time as a teacher for the Saturday Science Academy on the campus of Charles R. Drew University. My work with the high school students reminded me that to make a difference, you must first care about the individual and understand their circumstances. The Saturday Science

Thereafter, I decided to pursue a career in the biological sciences with an emphasis in Microbiology/Molecular Biology to further understand how postharvest diseases affect many crops, and why foodborne pathogens infect humans. While continuing my general education at the College of the Sequoias, I became involved in various clubs and organizations in my community college, including the Science, Engineering, Technology, Association (SETA), and the Alpha Gamma Honors Society where we make collaborative efforts to raise funds for student scholarships and provide valuable volunteer opportunities such as providing food for needy families and accomplishing local ecological restorations.

Regarding the Stanford Pathways of Public Service and Civic Engagement survey, I have mixed feelings. Although I agree with my results and have minimal difficulty in making sense of my results, I feel that the information is not in-depth enough to truly be extremely helpful.

I actively participate in a variety of extracurricular activities. Both seeing a need and having an interest, I along with some other girls founded our school’s first Athletic Training Program during my freshman year. In the program, we educate students on common injuries seen in high school sports. As the head trainer for our school’s swim team and girl’s track team, I attend to athletes’ sore muscles, apply wraps, and provide assistance to our new trainers (2015-2018). I’m also a leader within my school’s division of Future Health Professionals of America(HOSA), helping to energize the students preparing for healthcare jobs in the future. I became one of the founding members of Stem Moms in 2014, a program that educates students about

A civic engagement program similar to SPR outside of Duke University is Harvard University’s Center for Education Policy Research (CEPR). The CEPR is a partnership amongst school districts, foundations, states, and university researchers that assists in leveraging the large amount of new data about schools, teachers, and students to address “intractable policy questions in education.” Similar to SRP, the goal is to improve educational outcomes for all students; however, the CEPR attempts to achieve this by building a network amongst teachers around the country instead of just locally. Both organizations strive to engage the social scientists on what does and does not need to change. The CEPR claims to have “an irreplaceable role to play in

Additionally, as having worked as a volunteer teaching assistant for 3 consecutive semesters within the Molecular Biology and Microbiology department has allowed me the opportunity to gain an immense amount of experience while giving back has made me want to continue working as a volunteer for the department which I ensure is done until I graduate in the Fall 2018

I get to share my passions with children and inspire them to pursue careers in STEM. I currently tutor math students at a Title I school to prepare for the Milestone exam. In addition, I volunteer and serve meals with my family at a local men’s recovery center, the Extension. Through the activities I lead and serve in, I’ve cultivated an appreciation for those in my community and learned to apply my ethic to help others. My determination to learn and serve will guide to me towards a future involvement and success in college and as I obtain my career
