Gonzaga Personal Statement

During my senior year of high school, my paternal grandmother was very ill with cancer. My paternal grandmother would always talk about how happy she would be if I went to UC Davis for my bachelor's degree. She mentioned my older brother’s dream school as a great school for my passions. With her health declining, I decided to fulfil one of her biggest hope and dreams. My grandmother passed away in the summer of 2016 and I knew she would be able to pass on to the afterlife happy, knowing her grandchildren are going to achieve at their highest potential in the future. Although I am grateful for my own achievements, support from my family and where it has taken me, UC Davis was not truly the place I want to be. I truly wanted to attend a school

I chose my pharmacy program at OSU because of its well-known reputation in the field that has a long history of more than 100 years in preparing world-class educational opportunity, and educating pharmacists to serve with the best medical care in health communities, which is what my career focuses on.

When I think of college I picture a beginning to the rest of my life. I want a school that will teach me how to be successful in both life and my career. A place that I can look back in life and think I made the right choice for me.

The transition from high school to college is a notoriously daunting experience for students entering, arguably, the most important years in their lives. Everything that a student has come to know about academics, for the most part, are to be radically challenged. Many different factors go into the change, and any particular one can be enough to overwhelm any given student into becoming an emotional wreck. Whether it be living on one's own for the first time, drastic schedule changes, or becoming socially involved, these responsibilities are just three examples, among the seeming hundreds. However, a perfect balance between these responsibilities is a major key in not allowing the stressors to take one captive.

I am currently studying for an Associate’s Degree in Business Administration at Northern Virginia Community College. I plan to transfer to George Mason University in order to earn a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Accounting. I aspire to become either a Forensic Accountant or a Certified Public Accountant. I am extremely motivated and care deeply about my education. I believe that attending George Mason will help me achieve my goals because the university has a highly regarded business program.

St. Juan Diego lived a simple life as a weaver, laborer, and a farmer. Every day, he would walk to daily mass, which was 15 miles from his home. He would rise before dawn to begin his journey to daily mass. One of these days, Juan Diego found out his beloved uncle was sick and dying. He was on his way to see him, when Our Lady stopped him on his path. She told him his uncle had been cured. It was very true. His uncle had indeed been cured.

I came to Texas A&M knowing that it had a great study abroad program so I decided I would use it as an opportunity to travel before I graduated. However, for mechanical engineering, is seems that most programs are reserved for students during their junior or senior year. Unfortunately, I was planning on using those summers to earn internship experience, so traveling during that time wouldn’t be very practical for my career. So I decided to look towards a study abroad programs this summer that were available to freshman within the college of engineering. The reason I chose to do the Hong Kong Exchange instead of another program was because I wanted to : transfer engineering classes to my degree, improve my international communication skills, and ultimately to gain a new view of how another culture tries to solve a problem. But I didn’t just choose this program for its convenient timing.

Nothing in my life has proved to be more rewarding and valuable than my experiences at Indiana University. From the moment I stepped foot on campus four years ago, I have been compelled to make the most of every opportunity I have been granted and build the greatest foundation for my future that I possibly could. I knew the path that I had envisioned for myself was going to be arduous and that I was going to be met with great adversity at every step I took, but each obstacle only further motivated me to exceed expectations and carve my own avenue against the grain. I finished my senior year with a B.S. in Neuroscience, and three minors in Chemistry, Biotechnology, and Psychology. These fields overlap in many dimensions, but

The lone subject matter I am interested in studying at MTSU is audio production. I aspire to apply the knowledge I acquire from my studies at MTSU to be an audio engineer. Ever since I was young, music has had a substantial impact on my life. Throughout middle school, I was bullied for my preference of music: metal. I was deemed gothic, satanic, and a devil-worshipper because of my musical taste. I have never been gothic; I have never worshipped satan or the devil. Music, specifically metal, is an outlet for my emotions. The sole entity that helped me to overcome that part of my life was, in fact, metal, the genre of music which had labeled me as a disciple of satan. That ordeal is what motivated me to pursue my passion for music.

Beautiful, breathtaking and inviting were words that I thought as I saw Hofstra University for the first time. As we drove my brother to Hofstra for his first day of classes to show him the road in which he would be driving on everyday to arrive at his second home for the next four years, I could not stop staring. At the first sight of Hofstra, I knew my brother would be in good hands and I had no doubt that he would do great things. My love for Hofstra developed in fall of 2008 when I was only nine years old. Fast forward and over eight years later and my love for Hofstra still hasn’t faded.

While it seems I’ve always known Georgetown University to be a school of excellence, committed to Jesuit Catholic principles, it wasn’t until I visited the campus last spring that I really fell in love with it. Not only did it look like something out of a movie, but the students really impressed me. All the students I met that day - from my tour guide to those in the Red Square - exuded a contagious enthusiasm that clearly sought to engage the world and serve it. Georgetown’s history, tradition, and sense of purpose were obvious. I want to be part of that experience.

I’m a sophomore in college, I attend Syracuse University, and this year was the year I became very busy and involved on campus. My first year at Syracuse University was eventful, however now as I right this essay, I can only foresee that there’s going to much more ahead of me as I continue my education and reach for my goals. I consider myself a dreamer, and an ambitious one at that. When I set my mind to something there’s no doubt that it’ll get done or happen. While last year I was on the deans list twice – and plan to be on it again this year, wrote a major article for a campus magazine, and volunteered for a mentor organization, I felt like there was a lot more I could and should be doing.

Instilled since childhood, we were all taught to pursue a college education. When asked about attending a postsecondary school or program, the hands of each student would shoot upwards into the air as if their dreams were already in reach. In fact, many students consider a college education worth the time, money, and energy since in the long run, the effort will pay off in the form of higher salaries, steadier careers, and an overall healthier standard of living. However, though I believe attending a college is important for all the same reasons, I also consider universities to have much more to offer than the amount my paycheck has to offer each week. Completing a postsecondary program is an opportunity that can provide the resources never

My dream has always been to attend Indiana University and to attend her law school. And now, after all the options displayed before me, with most being inexpensive and easy, I still find my passional compass pointing toward home in Indiana. I understand the sacrifices required and the effort that’s mandatory, yet I am qualified by my passion for persevering, I am qualified by my experience, and I am qualified by my heart for Indiana.

My commitment to the various aspects of the Texas A&M honor code is visibly apparent through my endeavors and qualities. My most notable leadership experience is my role as the Upperclassmen Professional Development Officer of the Pre-Medical Honor Society. This position has essentially allowed me to develop the skills necessary to work effectively work in a collaborative environment and offered me the opportunity to showcase my passion for medicine. On a larger level, I am tasked with organizing events that aim to create a sense of community among undergraduates interested in pursuing healthcare careers. On a smaller level, I lead a committee to assist in the planning of larger events. Within this environment, I am able to directly utilize my leadership skills of communicating, motivating, and delegating. Through communication, I am able to effectively recognize the skills of each individual and assign tasks appropriately. In addition, I strive to maintain an atmosphere of motivation through the recognition of individual contributions and highlighting the importance of specific events. Also, I am
