Flc Personal Statement

Nestled quietly in the busy city of Madison, sits a historic campus icon that many don’t know exists. However, those that have discovered this gem, know just how uniquely brilliant the building and students, faculty and staff are that spend their days here. I am fortunate enough to have discovered this beautiful and historic building, where I have been able to find a small home on a campus that feels larger than life. Not only has this building given me a home on campus, it has also provided me with a major that I am passionate about. Life Sciences Communication has allowed me to take new and exciting courses, meet new friends, develop new skills and learn from the best of the best.

The HLLC community not only provides students with accommodations of residential living but it rewards students with the opportunity to enhance their leadership capabilities and teamwork talents. By being a member of the HLLC community I will be guided as student but shaped into a student leader. I will be able to learn about the right ways of approaching and bringing awareness to social issues, An example in which would be my passion to increase cleanliness and education around the globe. I once saw a documentary entitle “On my way to school”, it featured 6 children and their daily difficulties. They lived in an areas filled with filth, but were happy and thankful to at least have a roof over their heads. These kids would also have to

I plan to continue the mission of the National Health Service Corp (NHSC) by serving those most in need. Ever since I was in nursing school, I have had an interest in helping those most in need. I worked in a hospital setting after graduation and found myself being pulled to find help for patients that did not have access to basic needs. Soon after, I worked in home health. This was an opportunity to see patients in their home and I found out quickly who the most vulnerable of our patients were. I loved being able to assist my patients in finding resources to pay for medications, wheelchair ramps, and even heat during the cold months. A couple of jobs later, I found out there was a medical ministry in my community and decided to volunteer.

I choose to attend the University of Florida for the culture of community that exists on the campus. The University of Florida has always been a school that wants its students to succeed, but what is the most interesting aspect is that the students push each other together to achieve their goals. We live in a society where it is a "Man vs Man" world and that only one can succeed. Here at the University of Florida, we challenge those social norms and try to create a pathway that fits for everyone. Here, we just don't have dreams, because as gators, we make those dreams plans and those plans into reality. Being able to accomplish or do something that makes your life fulfilling is what made me want to come to the University of Florida and continue to give back to the place that gave me the chance to improve myself and help others improve too.

Throughout my high school career I have been a part of a wide variety of programs in which my leadership characteristics have been used and expanded. One program I have thoroughly enjoyed is the Jacksonville’s Mayor’s Young Leaders Advisory Council. From being on this council for two years, I have grown more than I imagined I would. I have been the chair for two committees, made business connections, gained experience in law, and been made open to other viewpoints. I have also lead in a more personal setting, as I was a preschool teacher at my church and have been a leader of community groups. What I have taken from being a leader is that it continually challenges you. Even if you may be an expert in your field, you will always find there is something new to experience and learn for yourself. To be a part of Florida Southern’s Honors Program would mean that I would not only get a one-of-a-kind experience in academics, but I would be shaped and well-rounded in leadership so I could excel in my

A leader takes diligent time in considering the ability to adhere to other people’s interests and presents their followers with a positive mindset. This summer, I accepted an invitation to participate in the Dale Carnegie Young Adult Leadership Program. Attendees of this program learned several skills that can be applied to future experiences, especially on how to become an effective leader. Everyday, the attendees acted as leaders by accomplishing various tasks that forced them to reach out of their comfort zones. We acted as leaders by leading group

Being a CLP Fellow would allow me the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals that desire to enhance their leadership experience throughout their four years at TCU as well as provide me a greater chance to enhance myself in leadership roles in a program known to be beneficial to its members. Having already attended multiple leadership events on campus such as the Vice Chancellor’s First-Year Dinner and the First-Year Men’s Leadership Dinner, as well as being encouraged by its attendees to apply for this fellowship, I understand the type of beneficial influence such a program would have on me. It is my hope that during my time on campus, I will be able to foster in myself and in others an initiative to lead and bring forth yet another generation of innovators that can improve society. The individual programs included during the fellowship program excite me in a way that tells me that there is much to be learned and experienced through them. I hope to be a leader that can represent TCU and its ideals of fostering ethical leaders immersed in the global community.

This prestigious $500 award is given to students eager to obtain the ability to think critically, possess effective communication, exhibit integrity and demonstrate preparedness for success.

I am currently a sophomore undergraduate Marketing major and Digital Studies minor. If I receive the scholarship the financial contributions NSCS has provided will be of great assistance in paying my educational expenses. I plan to study aboard in Spain over the summer to study Spanish and International Business. With help from the generous scholarship, I will be one step closer to achieving my educational and career goals. I believe I deserve to earn the scholarship because my involvement at the University of Mary Washington depicts my dedication and persistence in giving back to the school and the community while putting my education to good use. One way in which I am using my education to enrich my time at UMW is through my work with Community Outreach and Resources. My time at COAR has given me a deep appreciation for how volunteerism

I first learned and introduced to osteopathic medicine by Dr. John Landrum, the director of the FIU Office of Pre-Health Professions. As I begin my undergraduate career here at FIU, I was concerned about my future prospects and curious about continuing my education after earning an undergraduate degree. My appointment with Dr. Landrum in the office was a very informative session. When I told Dr. Landrum of my interest in the study medicine, first question he mentioned to me was “Are you applying to M.D. or D.O. programs?” I was stunned, because at the time I had never heard of osteopathic medicine and thought that there is only one type of medicine, which is allopathic. Then we further discussed about the values and philosophies behind each

I did not always want to be a doctor. My interest grew out of witnessing the suffering that health issues have caused to my loved ones, myself, and even complete strangers. When my mother was diagnosed with diabetes our family was disheartened but in the realisation of the long path that lay ahead in managing her lifelong condition I appreciated the hope that doctors gave us - that things could be better even if they were not perfect. I want to give people that hope, and when I discovered my love for science it was only natural that I felt medicine was the best-suited career for me.

Leadership is defined as the power or ability to lead other people. Historically, I have strived to be a person that my peers would call a leader. I want to be a part of the Florida Leadership Academy so that I can learn new leadership skills from other proven leaders, as well as spread some of the skills that I have honed over the years. Throughout my life, I have pursued numerous leadership roles such as assistant captain of my high school’s varsity ice hockey team, Lead Volunteer at Young At Art, and currently, the secretary of the University of Florida Student Investment club. In addition, as a sophomore in high school, I took the initiative to apply and enroll at the College Academy at Broward College. This decision was a unique opportunity

My ability to continue to make progress as a student at SPC has been due to the combination of financial aid, the Women on the Way Program, and scholarships. Even though I am still struggling very hard, the progress I have been able to achieve has brought me closer to my dream of earning my degree. The ability to further my educational development makes my disability seem insignificant because I am constantly moving forward and my future looks bright. I am no longer fearful or apprehensive as my feelings of insecurity have taken a backseat to the pride I now feel about the success I have made so far. I am still very heavily involved in tutoring and I use some of the awarded scholarship money to purchase materials and teaching aids in order

I am fortunate to have been given an opportunity to participate in prestigious organizations that have helped me develop my leadership skills. Throughout junior year I participated in New Century Leadership with the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce. I was blessed to connect with students from various schools in the area and visit organizations across Lubbock County that makes West Texas unique. Being able to gain knowledge about the components of Lubbock that do not receive the receive they deserve provided me with a new appreciation for my

My choice to attend FIU was one of the easier ones I’ve made so far in my academic career. I was drawn to the university as I felt a sense of community here that has only been further enhanced as a legacy, with both my mother and stepfather having completed their Bachelor degrees at this institution. The relationships and connections my parents were able to build here were a testament to FIU’s ability to bring together people from so many different backgrounds and create a family. I experienced an even greater connection as my stepfather found a lifelong friendship and mentor in an FIU staff member and honored him by making him the godfather of one of my younger brothers. Thus, FIU has been a special part of my life even before college was
