I Am Applying For A Masters Degree

I am applying for the UL Lafayette College of Nursing & Allied Health Professions Nursing Scholarship to hopefully earn a scholarship award to assist me with financing my college education. I do not have an on-campus or off-campus job at the time which benefits me by allowing more of my time to be dedicated to my studies. I am a focused and self-motivated student who strives to earn the best grades possible in my college courses. I am a determined student because I want to become an efficient and effective nurse when I graduate with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I know that I will graduate as a professional and competent nurse who demonstrates evidence-based practice, emphasizes quality and safety measures in care settings, and provides the utmost patient-centered care.

My home has equipped me to be a problem solver.When I open the door to my home instantly take in the smells of cultural foods,decor brought over from my parent's "home",and the dialect that is spoken all remind me of my Ethiopian culture.I am my own ambassador.I say this because I am the first generation to be born in America,but this doesn't make me unique.The adversity that my parents faced made them grow stronger which influenced their parenting style with my siblings and I.My parents didn’t have the best parenting examples in their lives and had to reinvent parenting themselves single-handedly.I am my own ambassador to this new world that my parents

Now imagine an adult from another country attempting to further his/her education when English isn't their first language. This often leads to discouragement and in many cases the

I am determined to serve the people of the U.S. as an actor for which I need formal training. That’s why I am applying to MFA – Acting program at the UCLA. I don’t have means to support my education on

“You're on your own now,” said my stepmom on the phone when I first moved to Tampa after freshman year. Leaving my parents back in Bangladesh was indeed painful, but I was hopeful as I had my older brother and aunt with me. My aunt has been sick for a long time, and although it’s not life-threatening, she needed someone to take care of her. My brother decided to work part-time jobs while I would stay home to look after her. I was distressed because I felt that my four years of high school would be spent just by studying and staying home. Well, who knew that my leadership skills would be bolstered at home and I would gain invaluable experiences gradually?

I am from the Bahamas and during my time in high school, I did pretty average in English Language, however I struggled particularly with essay writing. After graduating from Seneca College, I am optimistic about ongoing my studies at the University of Toronto in the Psychology program. Following my graduation from the University of Toronto, I aspire to pursue my Masters Degree at the University of Victoria in British Columbia.

I was taught to do a thorough job at everything I do and to greet everyone who entered the house. Since my father was a pastor that meant lots and lots of people. But, as time passed I began to feel as if the United States had a bigger part of me then Zimbabwe. It was where my parents went to work, where our house was and, where my friends were. After my mother completed her masters degree my father went back to Zimbabwe to teach at a College. We continued to live in upstate New York for some time until we moved to small town Iowa. After all the moving around I wasn’t sure where to call home. Lucky for me my mother has a strong sense of home and we return to Zimbabwe every three or four years for vacation. Our most recent trip began on December 2nd, 2015. Only then did I realise where home is. From learning how to polish a floor to moving to Iowa, every piece added to who I am today. Without these things I couldn’t be the Ntando I am today, and I wouldn’t be able to grow to be the Ntando I want to

I had more challenges to overcome as I grew older. When I was in elementary school, my father left China for opportunities in America, and due to my mother’s demanding work schedule,

There is a certain point in life that people have to leave their parents’ homes and start walking by their own foots. For some people it may happen earlier and for different reasons than others. For example, people begin doing by themselves when they get married or move to college and so many other reasons. To me, it happened in the middle of 2014 when I gained an opportunity to go to another country for studying, United States of America. At the beginning, I was very excited about the idea of moving to a country, which is considered to have one of the best education qualities in the world, and I was forgetting the difficulties that I would have to face.

If someone asked me where I am going to be in ten years, this would be my answer. I will have a great, high-paying job, and beautiful wife and family, and a nice sports car parked in front of my lovely house. When I look into the future, I see myself being successful and happy. Even though I always pictured myself this way, I never worried too much about how I would get there. I feel the Suffolk University can lay the groundwork for making these dreams into reality.

For this assignment, I had the opportunity to interview two nursing education administrators who work in different agencies. Those educational administrators are Dr. Linda Cook who works in the educational setting and Elaine Blackwell who works in the healthcare setting. Several questions were asked about their educational and professional backgrounds, leadership philosophy, values, attitudes, the effectiveness of their leadership style, measurement and evaluation tools they use, and the educational strategies they integrate (see Appendix A).

United States has many world fame universities, those universities are the sanctuary for all students in the world. In United States, there are huge amount of immigrant moving in every year, and the most of purpose for them is education for next generation. In fact, from the 1997-98 school years to the 2008-09 school years, the number of English-language learners enrolled in public schools increased from 3.5 million to 5.3 million, or by 51 percent (National Clearinghouse for English Language Acquisition, 2011). As long as the dramatic increase on foreign students, the education for these ESL students seems more important not only because it concern about the

I am applying for Michigan University’s PhD program in political science, with a focus on international relations and formal models. One of my research interests lies in the puzzle of war, namely why war occurs and reoccurs despite of its inefficiency. “War occurs because there is nothing to prevent it… In the absence of a supreme authority there is then the constant possibility that conflicts will be settled by force.” Representing the view of many political scientists who study the origins of war, Kenneth Waltz 's Man, the State, and War impugns the occurrence of war to the nature of interstate anarchy. It was not until I took a PhD-level seminar of formal models of international relations with Professor Andrew Kydd at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and immersed myself with works of Fearon, Powell, and Lake, among many others, did I come to realize that the anarchy explanation for war, though intuitive and compelling to some extend, is largely insufficient. Why does the lack of central authority prevent states from bargaining and reaching a settlement that would avoid the costly war? Using game theory and formal models, rationalism argues that private information and the incentives to misrepresent, commitment problem, issue indivisibilities and so on are responsible for the breakdown of bargaining and the occurrence of war.

When I attended Sixth Grade the following year, which located at the opposite side of the neighborhoods created a burden for my mother. Considering the hardship, I decided to travel to school unaccompanied. Primitively, I felt distinctly with the power; I am the ownership of myself! Even

When we moved to France, my sister and I lived with my grandparents four hours away from where my mother lived, so we hardly ever saw her throughout the year, and never saw our father. I had to help out a lot, seeing as my grandparents were quite old and weren’t able to do everything alone. After that first year in France, we moved to where my mother lived, but my mom had to work a lot in order to raise us properly, so I would pick my sister up from school, help her with her homework and cook dinner. This never once bothered me, because I knew that my mom was working very hard and the least I could do was try to help her as much as I could. Being in charged of my sister and me, I think made me mature a lot sooner than most people. I also learnt how to not get attached to places seeing as I moved quite a lot in a very short period of time, which means that I don’t get homesick when I move, I noticed how helpful this was as I moved to Mississauga in order to go to University and most people missed
