Elizabeth Adunoa Personal Statement

My career path is to be a nurse and help the unwilling and disabled... My dream is to become a successful person and influence the younger generation to the same for their

My dream is to become a neonatal nurse so I can directly aid in the treatment of infants born with a life-threatening illness,birth defects, and those put at risk from premature births. This is a cause close to my heart as my mother has worked with children who suffer from a plethora of birth defects for many years at Spring Creek Elementary School where I have had the pleasure to volunteer on many occasions. These children have their own personal battles that they fight every single day,they do it with smiles on their faces and love in their hearts and it's with the help of the medical staff that fought for them at birth that they are here today to share their love with the rest of the world. This is the nurse I intend to be.

I feel that the world will always need people in the medical field. I want to discover cures, medicine, and ways to improve the quality of life. I want to be apart of a major breakthrough and reveal new things no one thought would be possible for a long time. I would love to see several changes in medicine and the field such as the prevention of diseases, making the public more aware of fatalities that can occur, and most of all to give people and animals a life that is enjoyable which people in the medical profession are entitled to do everything possible to make that

After receiving my bachelor's degrees in Public Health and Foreign Language and International Economics, and masters degrees in Epidemiology and International Economics, I plan on serving a minimum of six months with Doctors Without Borders-- a health advocacy organization that deploys doctors to communities with active need. Not only is this how I plan to serve my global community directly, but I also plan on using this international service work to develop my career. After going on to receive a Ph.D. in Epidemiology, I plan on becoming an economic advisor, or occupying a related job in a healthcare agency so that I may lead an initiative in solving the economic woes of African countries to set them up for long-term

Today I yearn to become a medical doctor primarily to dedicate a life of service to the most vulnerable members of our society.

Currently, I am working for Home Life, which is a non-profit organization that assists people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I am also conducting research at OSU on cartilage cryopreservation. After an arduous, yet enjoyable journey, I hope to travel to developing nations and assist those that are unfortunate, by providing knowledge regarding health and medical practices. Working hard in school and excelling in everything I pursue ties in with my long-term goal of becoming a doctor. This is due to the fact that attaining such a career requires self-determination, strength during times of agony, and resilience as well as reflection from every failure. Personally, preventing diseases and spreading awareness medically would be profoundly illuminating.

I am driven by my ambitions and thrive to learn not only to educate myself, but to use my knowledge to educate others. Learning is not always associated with school; we learn things through experiences, mistakes, life lessons, people around us, and most importantly ourselves. In life I aspire to become a neurosurgeon like Dr. Ben Carson who has truly inspired me in various ways, and have what is called "Healing Hands". My favorite quote is from his mother, "You can do anything anybody else can do, except you can do it better." I carry these words with me every single day, with ever decision I make. One of my main goals in life is to visit Africa and build schools and manage a hospital so children in the area will receive a proper education, as well as a proper care. Through my own experience, I can truly say that life in a developing country is very challenging and I believe that these children deserve, as well as anyone else, the chance to learn in order to be successful in the future. This audacious path, which I have chosen, involves a great deal of learning and I know that I am most ready to do what is necessary for my

I am passionate about medicine, I hope to use this to help heal others. I want to help all people have access to healthcare, and I want towards curing cancer. In addition, I want to help people around me any way I can. My life has impacted by the small and large acts of kindness and compassion from others. When my dad was in Iraq, our school and parish community assisted my family with prayers, meals, and unwavering support.

I was born in a small town called Sesori in the country of El Salvador. El Salvador lays in the global south and it is extremely crime infested. I came to the United States of America when I was a small child; however, growing up in El Salvador allowed me to witness many of my neighbors and family members suffer from insufficient access to medicine. Knowing this has made me become a hardworking individual who acknowledges the opportunities and blessing that the United States offers its people. I wish to one day become a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner and activist for woman's protection all around the world through an international humanitarian non-governmental organization called Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders). I want to help individuals worldwide where the need is greatest. The world is in need of help with the

I believe that I deserve to be selected for the Diboll High School Alumni Association Scholarship because I am a dedicated student who takes every opportunity to further myself academically and will put the scholarship to great use. Not only do I hold myself to high academic standards, I constantly make an effort in giving back to my community.

Adrias parents were worried when Adria was born because her umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck. But when Adria was born she was perfectly fine in fact she came the natural way, head first. She was born at Norton's Hospital at March 30, 2003. Adria weighed 8 pounds 19 ounces.

I am currently trying to apply for the Renaissance Scholars Honors Program and have a few questions.

I have dreamed of making the world a better place and I can. After high school, I am planning to go into medical school and help others who are in need. Each and every one of us has the ability to help others the only difference of the ones that do and the ones that don't, is that some people take action instead of just saying that you will. Doctors and nurses don't always have their way and I understand that, they just add a little more effort than others. Although I have not yet made up my mind in what specific line of action I want to do in a hospital, that does not mean that I am not going to become the best that I am in my specialty. I will help patients even after every other doctor

I hope to possibly work for a sports team and or be employed at Kaiser as a sports or shoulder and ankle specialist. I have seen so many sports specialist, but every time I pay a visit I am fascinated with all the certain types of specialty doctors have. I want to be different from some doctors though. Instead of calling me Dr. Thai I would want people to address me as just Jason, for the reason I believe that titles create barriers. Ultimately, my biggest goal would to one day travel the world to third world countries to provide help to those in need. With the knowledge obtained from college, I could work with others to make the lives of other abroad a life worth living. I am not pursuing this career for the money, but for the reason that I may help those who may not even be able to afford doctors. My aspirations now were shaped by my favorite aunt. My aunt was a dentist who sacrificed time with her family to take care of mine. She would give everything to see my family happy. I remember she sang the song "My Heart Will Go On" as I played the song on my trumpet. She passed away a couple years ago, and I was unable to thank her for all she has done. When it is finally my turn to join her, I can finally tell her thank you. Her heart truly did go on, and I am ready to work hard to achieve my goals. For now I make progress day by

I want to do many things in my future. As well as being a doctor who helps people, I want to live life and just be there. The future is
