LUSA Personal Statement

If selected for admission, I plan to take advantage of IMSA’s unique learning opportunities by working diligently in all of my classes, joining clubs and teams to learn from my peers, and participating in Student Inquiry and Research to satisfy my curiosity and allow for more independent work. I come from a small high school with approximately one hundred students per class. Funding is a constant problem and learning opportunities are thus very limited. I’ve attempted to take as many science and math classes as possible, as well as world history, foreign language, and an advanced English course, but I still do not feel challenged. My school has done what it can to enhance my learning experience, but my math and science classes aren’t quite

Everyone has a dream or something they want to follow in life. Some want material gain while others want to help as many people as they can. I’m not saying wanting material gain is a bad thing, but what I am saying is that for me, money is not the number one concern when my dream is to help others. My hunger to help others only grows by the day. Because of what’s going on in the world we live in today, I believe that it is important that those who are less fortunate than others have the assistance they need to get to an even playing field, health-wise, with others.

Good morning class of 2019. I am Tori Cichelero, and I am running for Freshman Class President. As a president, my job would be to stabilize each and every single one of us, because we are new to the community of Ursuline Academy. I will make sure we are all involved, so we all get to be connected into the school. In order to be involved, we all have to take risk and try new things. Trying new things can be scary, but it can be so much better when you have a leader to guide you. My guidance can make us freshman the best possible class by using our intelligence, hard-work, responsibility, and kindness. When I think of Ursuline Academy, I think of how great our class is. Each classmate in front of me right now means so much to me. Your grades,

I have had this role for two years and my portfolio currently includes the design and delivery of an annual Gallup Employee Engagement Survey, an employee crowd sourcing innovation program and building cloud based performance management and social learning infrastructures.

Receiving a LULAC education scholarship will help me achieve my goal of attending my dream school, Loyola Chicago University and receiving my bachelors degree in biochemistry that would assist me in pursuing a medical career as a doctor. My career vision is to one day become a doctor working in a children's hospital. I have decided to attain a career as a doctor because I have a passion to help others while also continuing my passion for science. Going to college and majoring in biochemistry will give me a deeper understanding for what is to come while opening many more opportunities for me.

Prior to high school, my uncle was my chemistry teacher. As a food scientist, he was to me a great inventor who knew everything about the magic of taste, texture, and aroma; I still remember his lecture on “good” chocolate and how cocoa butter—solid at room temperature—melts readily in our mouths. Raised on an early appreciation for the power of applied science, I am now driven toward chemical science by a desire to uncover solutions to challenges in the modern world.

I am intimately familiar with the workings of the club, as I have been involved in a leadership role from nearly the first day. While the rest of my fellow officers are seniors and will graduate this June, I hope to carry on in a leadership role and ensure the club we have worked so hard to establish will continue to flourish. Through my experiences this year, I know specifically which aspects of the club are running smoothly and which need more work; I know which of our efforts were successful, and which missed the mark. I hope to bring my knowledge to the NHS leadership team in my senior year so that the State High chapter will have a bright and stable future. Furthermore, I possess the qualities necessary to be a strong leader. In addition to my organizational abilities, I can communicate effectively and appropriately with both my peers and my teachers. I am dedicated to my work, and independently motivated to achieve success. I am an excellent team player, having had significant practice this year both leading a team as an officer and working within a team and delegating tasks as head of the Bunny Hop 5k advertising committee. Given the opportunity, I would enthusiastically utilize and continue to develop all of these skills as president of the State High

1: I have been at ANC for four years, so I know the teachers well. And I feel really comfortable working with the teachers at ANC because they are just so nice. I also have good relationship with most students here (at least I don’t know anyone who hates me). Since I spent my whole high school journey at ANC, I am very familiar with the student government and the roles of being a student leader, and I would like to keep exploring new things. I have also talked to some of the former yearbook editor, so I have a really good preview of how to be a good yearbook editor.

From the day I got my appendix removed in 7th grade, I knew that becoming a medical professional was my calling. Although the road to becoming a medical professional is a long, tiring, and difficult one, I believe that I will be able to conquer it. Throughout high school I was lucky enough to participate in a school organization of HOSA, which not only helped me in my decision to become a health care professional, but also allowed me to grow and learn as a leader over the last couple of years. The mission of HOSA is to enhance the delivery of compassionate, quality health care by providing opportunities for knowledge, skill and leadership development of all health occupations education students, therefore, helping the students to meet the needs of the health care industry. Being an active member of HOSA for all four years of high school has been quite an experience.

Witnessing blood slowly running down the face of a woman who had been in a car accident and blood gushing out of her lower abdomen as a ten year old was unlike anything I had ever seen. The chaotic scenes and the rush of providing help immediately really fascinates me. I knew ages ago exactly what I was passionate about. The only thing left to do was to experience and apply what I learned in order to become better at what I wanted to do. Hands on experience can influence young adults to do more in the community and reach beyond their abilities.

While most students may have an identity, an interest or a talent that defines them in an essential way, I do not. My identity and multiple interests and talents have all culminated in framing who I am, my passions, and more importantly my college and career goals. My academic achievements has consisted of an Academic Award of Excellence in Medical Microbiology. I received a Masters grade level measure on the STARR U.S. History test; which means I did 99 percent better than everyone else who took it. For the summer of 2017 I was one of four people from Hendrickson High School accepted into the University of Texas Dell Medical School Health Sciences Summer Camp.

Initially, I would like to list all of the qualities I shall bring to the Student Council. I am very respectful of my peers and teachers. I have numerous academic accomplishments which I believe a president must not only be a good role model for the rest of the student body but also lead in academics as well. In addition to my academic skills I developed leadership skills that I have obtained from Beta and 4-H. In these clubs I have learned how to communicate and work in groups I am very flexible at taking on any task and conforming to each and every job when it is needed of me.

First and foremost, thank you for being here in support of the student government association. I want to thank our amazing dean Edina for encouraging me to run for vice president of SGA. Many people have asked me why I am running for vice president. Would you ask a fifth grader if he is going to go to the 6th grade? No right because they have to keep going to the next level. Ever since I came to the University of Bridgeport, I constantly looked for ways to become more involved and to keep having an impact in the university. Every year, here at the University of Bridgeport I am involved in something new. Whether it's being an OL, President of a Club or even starting a chapter/club which is known as the food recovery network, with the help of my peers. The food recovery network have recovered more than 300 pounds of food that would otherwise have been thrown out.

I am interested in attending FSLA because I want to be able to protect America as my future career. This country, although it is not perfect , has been a safe place for me and my family, and I want to improve upon and continue that path for all of the other citizens of this amazing country. I believe that my purpose in life is to save lives by keeping this country safe.
