Ecoambassador Personal Statement

I have attended the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh for the last two years. I will be entering my junior year pursuing a Bachelor Degree of Science with a major in Environmental Studies. My career interests entail green energy and natural resource management. I was a young child when I started attending a summer camp program that emphasized nature and environmental conservation—ever since I have made outdoor activities into hobbies and continued interest in environmental sustainability. The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh focuses on sustainability through green building, alternative and solar energy, and curbing pollution.

The process I developed and used to complete my dissertation was trial and error in the beginning. I entered the Ed.D. program, at Southwestern College after several years removed from a graduate program after having obtained my Master’s in School Administration. I entered the doctoral program with basic knowledge of current instructional research, theories, and practices, but had a desire to challenge myself professionally.

To me nature should always win in the battle against humanity.This is why this internship is so important to me. I want to give nature a helping hand in its road back to rehabilitation and I want to be the voice to something so big but so intimidated by man. I think this opportunity will open many doors for me and help me focus on my career. Saving marine animals is a passion of mine and being involved this type of research is something I have not yet experienced but will be devoted

Experience in, or the ability to acquire specific knowledge of, the health and human services and government relations and policy development

The primary factor that stimulate my enthusiasm in Economics and Finance was after reading the book-Principles of economics written by Nicholas Gregory Mankiw that highly recommended by my elder brother. It has significantly aroused my curiosity as well as its roles in the development of every nation in the world. The more economic knowledge I gained, the more eager I am to deepen my understanding in economics and finance studies and I noticed my passion has never stop growing since then. In order to cope with the dynamic and globalised economic environment of such a modern world, I believe it is a must to equip myself with a wide breath of advanced knowledge. In addition, I have a dream of running my own business in the future so it is necessary to thoroughly grasp the economics knowledge as it is the core element to set successful business strategies. Hence, these reasons have motivated me to pursue for MSC Business Economics and

I have always cared about the environment, even from a young age. I am hoping that this course can further explain to me how the environment works, what problems the environment is facing, and what I can do to help.

I was born the fourth of December 1991 in Cranbrook British Columbia. I lived there for 18 years. Before joining the military I worked as a fry cook at a Burger King for three years and held part time jobs working for the College of the Rockies summer camp programs during the summer. My parents are currently living together in Cranbrook BC. My father works outside the province testing railway tracks for two months at a time, then returns home for two to three weeks. My mother acts as the main contact point of the family, she works as a financial clerk. I have a 22 year old sister who will be attending university in Calgary this September. I attended Mount Baker Secondary School in Cranbrook and graduated in 2009

"I am an independent married student. My husband and I both are full time students with a part time jobs. I am pursuing my first undergraduate degree and the price of high education and the University tuition are excruciating. I belief, that with EOP program I will not only have an opportunities to pursuit my education, but also strong support on my way to success.

I believe that interning in the Environmental Stewardship program presents the best opportunity to help me build a foundation for what I want to do. Resolving issues like climate change adaptation and greening supply chains involves engaging multiple stakeholders. To mitigate the effects of global warming, it is imperative to consider environmental, economic, and political issues. These problems have multiple dimensions that require people that can work within and across these various subject areas. My second choice is the Small Islands internship because it likewise combines issues of governance and environmental challenges. However, this program is focused on the disproportional impacts that climate change will have on small islands like rising sea levels and

An experience that has greatly influenced my understanding of the world has been my participation in Florida Atlantic University’s Pine Jog Fellowship. The Pine Jog Fellowship is a three-semester program that focuses on environmental improvement and education. In the Pine Jog Fellowship I have had the opportunity to develop my own environmental service projects that would benefit my community. During one semester of my fellowship, I coordinated beach clean-ups for Lake Worth Beach. I recruited over sixty people and collectively, we recycled and threw away over one hundred pounds of trash off of Lake Worth Beach. I also spoke to local fishermen and educated them on the dangers of throwing monofilament fishing line into the ocean. During the

You know that time when your parents start making you pay for your own stuff? Well, I have reached that time, and so what do I do? The obvious answer is to get a job. So I walked over to the outlets across from my house, and started asking for job applications. After all the application and interview process, I landed with a job at G.H. Bass & Co, a retail store that’s devoted to selling shoes. I become a sale associate, but it wasn’t until after I fully explored and learned about the logos, pathos, and ethos, did I entirely immerse myself into the discourse community.

The goals I have going into this new internship opportunity include learning about what Planning and Zoning does on a day-to-day basis and the array of jobs the employees have. Being interested in the natural resources field, I am really hoping to gain some experience that includes some aspects of natural resources. I know it will be different from Camp Ripley in what they do, but I am still excited to see what other jobs are out there that I can learn from and maybe get a better idea in what I want to do after high school.

I believe sustainability is a very important quality in anything, which is why I take every opportunity to positively affect the environment is my daily life. I and my entire family have been recycling and composting for years. I have also reduced the amount of water I use by shorting my showers and not using more water than I need. Hearing about issues that directly affect the ocean and the life in it, such as ocean acidification and the rapid deterioration of coral reefs around the world, makes me want to do more to help, particularly in the Puget Sound, because it means so much to me. Projects such as beach clean ups would be a chance for me to directly interact with the environment and see firsthand the effect I would have, an experience I value greatly. Public knowledge of marine conservation makes a dramatic difference and spreading this knowledge is incredibly important, something I would love to be a part of. Learning even more about the ocean and its inhabitants and sharing a passion of mine with others would be an exciting and meaningful

By wearing this Crest  I accept the challenge of my chosen responsibility and it is the honour that I must earn every day.

I am interested in interning with ERM this summer in Washington, D.C. As a midshipmen in Naval ROTC, when I graduate from Yale I will commission in the Navy as an officer. While what I do depends largely on the needs of the Navy, I do get to select which warfare community I enter. I am currently leaning towards becoming a Surface Warfare Officer (SWO). As a SWO, I would elect to enter the Oceanography Program because of my environmental interests. Besides forecasting whether and currents, this community is on the forefront of climate and sustainability research. ERM’s work with climate change and air quality directly relates to my interest, and I would treasure an opportunity to glean a new perspective on one of the most complicated challenges
