K-State University Personal Statement

only make my mother proud, but I also want to make myself proud because I know that I can guarantee myself a stable life setting when I graduate from a university. My sole purpose of attending college is to ensure that I can survive in the real world as a working class member, and know that I can achieve.

Things often don't go as planned in life, but sometimes it's for the better. I never actually planned on attending Iowa State University, but now that I'm signed up to attend, I can't wait to learn more about myself and develop through classes, clubs, and the NROTC program.

After graduating from high school, I plan on attending college at Valparaiso University. Setting goals for myself prior to leaving for school will keep me focused on what is important, my education. I plan to be in the exploratory studies program. I feel like I have not been exposed to all the opportunities that will be available to me in the future, therefore I will explore my options before making a decision on a major. Some of my goals for my freshman year of college are to make friends and stay involved on campus. I think a lot of people choose to go home most weekends from college or stay in their dorm room which doesn’t allow them to meet new people. I have met with a young lady from Valparaiso whom I found on the university website.

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. By attending OSU, students in pharmacy program will have a chance to work closely with exceptional faculty who care about interests and professional development, where the staff are willing to support and help their students with any issues, from classes to finances to personal. It is the open doors for any of it students interested in the career to advance along with the renowned Oregon State name. The curriculum at OSU is diverse. OSU offers a wide range of electives and countless opportunities for community outreach, leadership development, hands-on training, research and collaborations at Oregon State and Oregon Health & Science University to help achieve specific goals and gain

Attending Kennesaw State University has been a very rewarding journey. As a current senior in college, I have been given the chance to experience the University environment. An environment full of my interaction with my fellow classmates working in study groups and tutoring sessions. Also having the option to sit in on my professor's 2nd lecture that you did not understand fully during your class period.

Before I answer the questions posed, I believe an explanation is owed regarding this request for admission into Saybrook. I originally applied to The Chicago School of Professional Psychology seeking a degree in business psychology. Since the program was not ready to start for another year, it was suggested that I take courses in the international psychology program. I thoroughly enjoyed this new experience with an opportunity to “think global”. I optioned to remain in this program with a concentration in organizations and systems. As I sojourned through, I was always aware that there was still something missing. Although I loved being part of the IP program, my roots are deeply entrenched in the world of organizational development (OD).

I chose NDSU because I feel like I was pretty well acquainted with the campus during my time in high school. Each summer, for FFA, my chapter, along with others from across the state, spent a week here competing in different agricultural competitions. Also, I talked with alumni from this nursing program, and they all said it was set up very well, and also put them on a track to getting a good job afterwards. When I came for a tour earlier this spring, I got to hear a speech from the Dean of nursing, and I just sort of felt like this was the right place. On a side note, I like being here because of the agricultural side of NDSU as well, even if I’m not necessarily going into a field pertaining to it. It seems more like home to me, when the person next to me, going into Vet Tech, rides horse as much as I did.

In the near future, I expect to gain many important aspects from my college education. The first and most important thing I hope to gain from this experience is independence. In my opinion, having a successful career of your own is one of the best things you can accomplish. The best matter to never have to worry about, is depending on other people. You never know what will happen to you in the future. You always want something to fall back on something and a college diploma is the perfect answer. The last component that I hope to gain from college is a great life experience that I will never forget. This is only my first semester as a freshman, but I can already predict that college is going to give me all of these gifts.

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

As a pre-med hopeful, my criteria for colleges has been the following: the college must have a strong biology program, particularly in genetics, as I plan to major in biology with a concentration in genetics and biotechnology. My ideal college must have a plethora of research opportunities, and it must be affordable for my family. Middle Tennessee State University has met and exceeded all my standards. After applying to colleges with steep tuitions, I realized that I needed to choose a university that would allow me to graduate with little to no debt. My mother had taken courses at MTSU, so I searched the college online and discovered its exceptional biology program. No other Tennessee state school I had researched before had as many in-depth classes as MTSU has.

Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) offers a lot for us, students, in the Residence Halls. Comfortable lounges for us to study and hang out with our friends, free cable, accessible water fountains, and microwaves and mini-fridges are already provided for us. However, something valuable is missing from our Residence Halls that would have been a huge plus to living on campus. Where are our kitchens? The meal options at OLLU are great, but the food at the Cyber Café tends to get boring and bland, and the Sister Annie B's Cafeteria can get crowded with long lines to get food. Cooking is what makes food exciting and more gratifying, but without a kitchen, how will we ever learn to cook for ourselves and enjoy food? The new

Who we are is a concoction of our life journey, relationships, tastes, goals, and countless other things. I am a family girl from Mexico who is a first generation college student. My family is the greatest part of who I am. They would give and do anything for me and vice versa. Life has brought me to the construction science program at Texas A&M and I could not be more excited to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

After high school, I am going to attend Texas A&M to get an undergraduate degree in public economics and after that I will pursue further education at the Texas A&M Law School. I am going to get a degree in law so that when I graduate I can be a partner in my family's law firm. For the past couple of years I have toyed with the thought of either going to join the marines or being a lawyer but in the end I came to the conclusion that becoming a lawyer was the best bet for me; three generations of my family have done it and I would like to fill their shoes and carry out tradition.

The one thing I hope to gain from college is to become more social with the people around me. With me being shy it kept me from participating In clubs or even class projects because I didn't feel comfortable with presenting it to everyone. But you have to be able to communicate well with others if you want to thrive in todays society. I'm a great person once you get to know me I'm funny, outgoing, and a good person to talk to in general. I am committed to becoming the best student I can possibly be and I hope UW Oshkosh can mold me into being that student. The 4 years I spend in college I want to have fun and also get good grades. I have a lot of things going for myself and in 10 to 20 years from not I don't want to look back thinking to myself I should've did this or that. I expect to accomplish everything I dream of. My long term goal is to graduate from UWO a better person and be able to open up

An obvious goal as a working adult returning to school is, of course, to earn a degree. My overall goal is no different than any other student, however, I also have several personal goals I hope to achieve while attending the University. Some of these goals are to acquire new skills and enhance my current business abilities, to apply what I learn in the classroom to forward my career, and to feel personal satisfaction of finishing something I started.
