Example Of Personal Statement

As an undergraduate student at the University of New Mexico I have become increasingly aware of the complex network problems that I face as a citizen of the world. I have also realized the progress and success that I enjoy in the same capacity as the frontiers of medicine, technology and communication continue to expand. My desire to participate in the resolution of those problems and in the further expansion of those frontiers had inspired me to seek a degree in biology and entrance into a School of Dentistry. I intend to successfully complete program of dentistry and further my specialization in the area of endodontics. Upon completion of my

Pursing a career as a medical doctor is an opportunity for me to mentor youth in underserved populations. As a child, I was raised in the low income, urban community of Roxbury, MA. Although not as notorious today, the neighborhood had garnered negative attention for its high crime rates. My mother emigrated from Haiti and raised me as a single parent. Due to our financial circumstance, Roxbury became our permanent residence. I have always felt there was something lacking in Roxbury in comparison to other towns I visited. My teenage years were largely spent in the suburban town of Stoneham where I attended high school. There was a literal difference in air quality and a psychology contrast in future prospects. While native students of

Education. It is a vital source needed in order to succeed. Though many schools offer a basic education, there are not many that offer the advanced level of learning that ASMSA provides. While attending ASMSA, I hope to be taught at a higher level that better suits my standards. ASMSA will give me the prospect to learn at a level that I can use to challenge myself to better my future.

Growing up in the US as an immigrant, my childhood was a little different from most people’s. I faced many struggles due to the differences in cultures, social, and economics. However, I was able to overcome all those challenges and become a more humble, responsible, and determined individual because of my ability to adapt quickly, be compassionate, and stay goals-oriented.

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

Following receiving my M.B.A. as I began to age I began to notice that it takes me a lot more work to maintain a slender build than it had in the past. I also noticed that the portion sizes at traditional restaurants that I frequent began to get larger in spite of the fact that I was not burning the calories off any faster, actually slower. After this self-reflection, I went on a family trip and I have a cousin who has a 12-year-old daughter that is extremely overweight, be definition she would be obese. I noticed that the mother did not contain he child’s eating at all. The child ate whatever she wanted in the amount that she wanted. I then heard the mother state that she, “Hopes that she can lose weight,” but my thought was that you’re not do anything to help this cause. This led me to want to go into the field of dietetics as the nutritional care needs of people of all ages captivate me and because of the lack of knowledge and incorrect knowledge found on the internet, I want to be a person entrusted with the nutritional care needs, both clinical and non-clinical, of all the patients and guests in a facility.

The practice of caring for the individual needs of each student should transform schools and society. The transformation is dependent on the market reaction to the personalized learning and care shown to students. As schools moved to an industrial model where bigger, impersonal, standardized learning became the norm, student’s needs became secondary. Kittay (2011) argues that all people have a need for dependency for care from others. Schools are built to provide care, but often fall under the category of being an institution. The impersonal nature of institutional schools has led to larger buildings, higher classes sizes, and curriculum geared for testing. This is not just a phenomenon in public schools where No Child Left Behind has left schools adjusting the curriculum to meet standards for continued funding. Standardization has also become wide spread within the independent school communities.

The BTI internship superimposes my greatest interests: as a student of biochemistry, an impassioned environmentalist and humanist, and a prospective MD/PhD candidate, the part about advancing and communicating scientific knowledge in plant biology to enhance human health within BTI’s mission statement really resonates with me.

I graduated from my undergraduate institution in September 2013. From fall 2013 to spring 2014, I helped my mother recover from different injuries after suffering an accident in July 2013 and another in November 2013. I volunteered from a public health study as an evaluation research assistant between December 2013 and June 2014, and worked part-time for that same project from July 2014 until its end in September 2014. I was the lead Spanish/English interpreter for the UCSD Student-Run Free Clinic between July 2014 and June 2016 where as a volunteer I was able to also shadow medical students and physicians and learn more about underserved communities. Between March 2015 and June 2016, I worked part-time as a research assistant for two global

ince I want to work in national security, I decided to get my in to get my inspiration from law enforcement and intelligence agencies websites. Most national security agencies websites are blue and have a minimum of one world map image. So, I decided to take that route and used the Pictaculous website to find different shades of blue that match my world map image.

I started my field practicum at International Institute of St. Louis (IISTL) on 20th January 2017. The agency mission is to help immigrants, refugees, and their families become productive Americans and champion ethnic diversity as a cultural and economic strength. Every year the agency assist more than 7,000 immigrants with community integration services. The Social Work department that I am working in provides services related to serious or complex medical needs, domestic violence or other family problems, developmental and physical disabilities, and mental health needs. My former professional career has greatly influenced me to continue working with refugee and immigrant population.

At the age of ten a close family friend suffered a mental breakdown, and as I watched this happen I started to ask questions such as how can a loving father of three turn into a completely different person can? Why now? What were his new thought processors? Has the tendency to develop these symptoms always been there or has life circumstances triggered the episode? These and so many more questions required researching and the way I did this was to study Psychology.

I have a bachelor of science in health administration, and five years of experience in all aspects of human resource functions including health benefits management. I am able to multi-task and prioritize my responsibilities, and have excellent organizational skills. I also understand and highly value the importance of communication and customer service.

In our lives, we have to make important choices, and sometimes our choices determine our happiness or sadness. As a Filipino, our families tell us to do well in school and to not make bad choices because they want us to be successful and to have ethical morals. Growing up as a Catholic, I was taught to be obedient and respectful to my family which has shaped who I am today. Yet, I too made some mistakes, and I learned from the consequences. From my failures, I learned to not belittle myself, but to grow.
