Homeland Security Personal Statement

I am drawn to AmeriCorps because of its commitment to service and matching members to non-profit organizations. I am truly interested in AmeriCorps' service missions including poverty reduction, literacy and youth development, and mentoring. I served as a volunteer helping organize activities for neglected and abused children at the Children’s Advocacy Center, served on a committee for children’s literacy with Better World Books Drive, and volunteered for Big Brothers Big Sisters and American Red Cross. I am comfortable interacting with youth and children. I have always envisioned myself as a leader involved in improving the health of populations and serving my community and I aim to continue the work of improving the missions of anti-poverty

I know how it feels to not have justice given or not get the help you deserve. I hope that doing this training will give me a jumpstart on pursuing my career and that it’ll help my resume in the future. I also hope that when I do this training I learn the true meaning of being an FBI Agent and I learn what it takes to be an FBI Agent. I am really interested in learning what an FBI’s job is and how they have to do their job and what duties they have to perform to be able to make this world a safer place. I hope that I can learn about the different scholarships available to kids like me that wish to further their education in the area of Law Enforcement. My dream is to get into a good college that will lead me to the right path of pursuing my dream. I want to prove to myself that I have what it takes to become an FBI agent and show myself that I have the qualities needed to become an FBI agent. I feel that doing this program will help confirm my dream and get me closer to it. What makes me a unique candidate is the experience I’ve gone through and how committed I am to achieving my dream and

Experience in, or the ability to acquire specific knowledge of, the health and human services and government relations and policy development

This school year, I want to get more involved with clubs and athletics that interest me. I am in HOSA and Student Government; which I would like to run for a office in Student Government at the end of the school year. I was also apart of the football and basketball teams and I am also going to try to be on the track team. Furthermore, as the year progresses, I want to receive all A's in my classes (have succeeded so far). In English this year I am going to further my reading and writing skills. To do so, I will need to practice these skills continuously which I feel that I can accomplish.

There's plenty reasons why I wish and hope to become a dreamer, but the main reason why I do so is that I want to fulfill my dream of becoming a criminal lawyer. I have an immense motivation to make an impact on not just my community but overall the country. I am a determined person that is just looking for that extra piece to my puzzle in becoming a criminal lawyer, which the piece that I am missing is DACA. This developed country is based on improving on many different aspects and I want to be part of this movement for further generations to come. DACA will open many opportunities for me to make progress towards my dreams. I have invested many years towards my education which is my dedication because I am that type of person that will go

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

I have been interested in Technology and certain aspects of Science since I was a child. As I became older I came to a realization of how much I love Technology; I began to excel in my technology and engineering classes but not do as great in my science classes. I began to loathe science as I took upon the love of Engineering. As I have researched different types of engineering in previous years, I have stumbled across Agricultural and Environmental Engineering. I have decided instead of seeing science a challenge I cannot overcome I should work harder to be better at the subject. Therefore, I can combine my love for the planet and horticulture with my love for technology and engineering. Having an internship at USDA as a Senior will further help me achieve my goal of having a career in the STEM field. I feel having an Internship my senior year will cause me to further succeed as the research I will hopefully be doing can cause me to grasp a better understanding of the different types of careers open to me in the future.

I want a career at NSA because at the NSA I will be able to use the skills that I have gained throughout my life to best protect and defend my country. Since around my freshman year of highschool I have felt a calling to serve my country, this calling urged me to explore the military and other public service careers. However, I felt my skills of technology and engineering were not quite what the military was looking for. So I explored further and found the NSA, an agency, part of the Department of Defense, that could allow me to use my skills to best serve my country. The Stokes Educational Scholarship Program would be most beneficial to me and the United States because it will allow me to build further on the skills I know now through a college education, summer internships, and finally a guaranteed employment for my country.

I hope to use my law degree to change the lives of mistreated children from all over the world. As a victim of child abuse, serving this community has become a part of my identity. My aspiration to represent mistreated children, albeit vitalized by personal turmoil, has been intensified through professional experience. Through my work with Child Protective Services (CPS), during an internship with a family law attorney, I developed my passion for advocating on behalf of children. While working on CPS cases, I have seen how the lives of children can improve through diligent efforts by authority figures. However, I have also witnessed the shortcoming of the system as well where there is room for improvement. These vulnerable children deserve

My relevant qualifications include my pursuit of a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management Information Systems. I expect to graduate in December 2016. I currently hold a Work Study position for the Office of Veterans Affairs. In my current role, I assist veterans and their dependents with certification of educational benefits for veterans while maintaining educational enrollment information. I ensure student’s academic progress is in accordance with state and federal regulations and guidelines, to ensure compliance with the Veterans Affairs policies.

The idea of securing the nation’s borders and securing the safety of the citizens has been a major topic since the beginning of the nation’s existence. There have always been means and procedures for it but it was never defined to the point it is today. The Homeland Security Department is a fairly new program which is constantly improving and adjusting in accordance to the threats that may arise. In the attempt to secure the United States, homeland security has become paramount and a lot of emphasis is being provided so as to ensure the safety of the borders and the citizens of the United States. So one must ponder what the difference between homeland security and homeland defense are since they both tend to mean the same

My aim is to pursue a job in the quality improvement department. I realize that when I am in this position, I should ensure the institution is in compliance with the recommended quality standards of the accrediting bodies. This is a team effort that needs the participation of all the employees. Hence, I would encourage the teamwork of the staff to achieve this goal. I would provide the clear idea about the goals and the timeframe to meet it. The team activity would let the staff in the team assume the responsibility to achieve the goals with a unified spirit (Axner, 2015). A good team needs the appropriate team members. They should have a diverse background, expertise and experience so that the input of one person can supplement that of the

As a young child, I learned that education would be beneficial to not only myself but also all humankind. Growing up in a Northeast Florida housing project my father and mother did the best they could to raise nine children. My father worked seven days a week in the service industry as a waiter and bartender while my mother worked as a domestic employee in the homes of more affluent people in the south. My father had an eleventh grade education and my mother had not passed the tenth grade before she bore her first child. Neither parent completed high school but they had dreams of their children far exceeding their educational accomplishments. I was child eight of the nine and I knew early on that I did not want to live

I have wanted to go into the military since i was very young. Most children say that they want to be a firefighter or a doctor, but i said that i wanted to be in the military. I remeber looking at pictures and learning about military officers and i felt called to be one of those men. My decision and dreams never changed, as most childrens do when they realize the work required. But for reasons beyond my comprehension, my desire of a miltary life never wavered. Both of my parents' fathers served in the military, one n the Air Force and one in the Army. They told me stories of their days in the military, bragging of their different branhes and I took what they said and choose a school that woud lead to a career in neither of their branches.

Since the attacks on September 11th, 2001, intelligence activities has been one of the most controversial issues facing this country with one of the most controversial being the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Created in November of 2002 and concepted just two weeks after the attacks, the DHS focuses in five goals; prevent terrorism and enhance security, secure and manage the borders, enforce and administer immigration laws, safeguard and secure cyberspace,
