Frank D Wilson Biography

Through experiencing social injustices, and making myself more culturally aware of inequality amongst social classes, I believe I have cultivated the leadership skills necessary for success. My willingness to reach out to the environment beyond me has exposed me to a career path that excites me and is my true passion. I plan to take action to improve the lives of the defenseless and those who are politically and socially disadvantaged. Through utilizing what I have learned by dedicating my time to service I know that I will truly make an impact on the lives of the helpless. During my years attending university I plan to continue a rigorous course load focused on a career path that truly intrigues me. I also plan on continuing to dedicate my free time to service and philanthropy. Overall, I have dedicated my high school career to becoming a leader in and out of the classroom. I hope that by attending University of Texas-Austin I will be able to utilize the resources provided to become a leader prepared to make worldwide change, continue on a path of academic achievement, and create a successful future not only for myself, but for those in generations to come as

My mother was raised on a farm in central Ohio. She was born November of 1917 to Herman Siegenthaler, first generation American and Blanche Fry. She started school almost six years old in a one-room school house. She only spent four years at the one-room school but she passed out of sixth grade. You see Donna Bell was quite the student and skipped the third and fifth grades. In a one-room school, you get instructions for your grade level, but over heard the instructions for all of the other grade levels as well. In 1927 at the age of nine almost ten, she started seventh grade at Bellefontaine High and completed her six years of classes on time and as one of the top students of her class. In the spring of 1933 and the middle of the depression she graduated from high school at the ripe old age of 16. She had prepared for a career in business by taking typing, bookkeeping and short hand. She interviewed at a business in Springfield, Ohio and was called back for a final interview before being hired to her first job in the bookkeeping department. In the last interview, they learned that mom was just 16-years-old. The boss said, “I’m sorry but we can’t give you the job because we have other applicants that are older and don’t have work. They are on their own, where as you have your family to live with.” In the middle of the depression, jobs were scarce and

Perhaps no person is more worthy of a prominent place in a listing of significant figures in criminal justice history. Yet, he himself acknowledged that he was a criminologist only by accident, and he never held an academic position in any department of criminal justice. He rarely – if ever – published a paper in a peer-reviewed criminal justice journal. Nor do his theories of criminology usually get taught in criminological theory courses – yet his views on the causes of crime are regarded as influential. Furthermore, he had no practical experience as a law enforcement officer, yet he wrote a well-regarded book on policing styles.

My mother was a widow by the time she was in her mid-thirties with four children under the age of 16. It would have been easy to accept handouts and pity, but I witnessed her rise from tragedy, more determined than ever to provide every necessity that her children needed and wanted.

She is from the countryside of a small town in Mexico called San Juan de Los Lagos, Jalisco, a beautiful place known for its rich history and architecture. At an early age my mother lost her father during a storm in Mexico. The loss of my grandfather was devastating for he left behind a widow, a new born, and a total of 8 children. The hardship caused several of the older children to leave school and start working to support the family. My mother however, managed to remain in school but with time, the teachers that would go out to the country to teach the children stopped coming and my mother was forced to resign her education. With school no longer an option my mother began working due to the lack of resources. At this point she was only able to obtain an education up to the 6th

No matter the organization or level of experience from the C-suite to the front line, Psychological Associates ensures companies are selecting suited employees for particular roles through assessing, developing, and guiding employees at all levels. Since I am pursuing a Ph.

My father's protectiveness and selflessness generated at a young age for him. He is the ninth of twelve children, and often told us stories of how he had to look after, and practically raise his three younger siblings after my grandfather had passed.

School was extremely important to my father, because he knew an education was the only way he could be successful.
