MSMS 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

If I attend Villanova, I will make community a verb by getting involved through community service, athletics, and research. One project I am particularly interested in is Engineers Without Borders. I would like to help them in their goal of improving the quality of life in developing communities worldwide. It is not only a great travel opportunity, but I would also get to help people in need, and there’s nothing more rewarding than that. I am also interested in the Relay For Life event. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in America and my grandfather died from lung cancer when I was younger. If the cure was found, millions of lives would be saved. I would try my best to raise as much money possible to join the fight against it.

I deserve membership into Tri- M because of my considerable participation in fine arts. I started a strong foundation with women’s ensemble and music theory. Adding to that, I have joined Treble Choir as well as Liturgical Choir. I feel I am well prepared to enter into a honor society for music. In addition to the singing, I spend time after school volunteering for Mr. Parry. Not only is volunteering allowing more time for Mr. Parry to teach new songs, I also learn new skills, such as how to file

Last Sunday at church Father Ron said something that hit home for me. He said that a mission begins with an invitation. I grew up in a rural area in the highlands of Nairobi, Kenya. Life was not easy and I always made a point of maximizing the opportunities I got. I grew up knowing that I wanted to be in a profession that really helped people improve their wellbeing. When I got the opportunity to go to university I choose to do Biomedical Science because I was very good at science and I thought that being a scientist was my calling. However, becoming an adult and having varying experiences like volunteering in a children’s home, working in the field doing research, working in a laboratory and currently working as a nurse aide has taught me

Experiencing hardships and my resilience to overcome them is the main reason I chose to pursue a Master’s of Social Work (MSW) degree. My familiarity with asking for resources, as a former foster youth, a number of my interactions involved social workers. I utilized resources as a transition aged youth; and I believe it was those same resources that kept me focused on my future and school. I became homeless at eighteen years of age and it was transitional housing, through The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) that gave me hope and direction.

Perhaps, a student would rather learn more about their ethnic heritage, thankfully, that’s what cultural groups specialize in. For example, the Association of Mexican American Students (AMAS). AMAS is one of the largest and most active of all the organizations at Angelo State University. This organization is a part of various activities from intramural sports to volunteer projects. In order to become a member of AMAS, a student does not have to be of Hispanic origin. The Association of Mexican American Students has two subgroups, mariposas and hermanos. Mariposas is a group that is specifically open to only girls while hermanos is for guys. Another aspect of AMAS is the fact that they are supported by the president of Angelo State University, Dr. May. Dr. AMAS holds their meetings at seven thirty on Wednesdays in the Nasworthy Suite in the University Center. AMAS is the perfect choice for students who wish to experience the Hispanic culture, get involved and be a part of a highly regarded

During my medical education, I had the opportunity to do two separate electives in PM&R. My first elective was at Kaiser Permanente Hospital working under the supervision of Dr. Michael Jaffe; a well-known PM&R physician. While working closely with Dr. Jaffe on many different and interesting cases, I was further drawn to the field of PM&R, especially due to the complex and varied nature of human musculoskeletal diseases, and PM&R’s wide spectrum of musculoskeletal disease pathologies, which involve many patient populations spanning from the younger to the older generations. This experience was both intellectually challenging and personally fulfilling, especially being able to establish extended relationships with patients, work collaboratively with other medical providers such as physical therapists and occupational therapists, to deliver skillful and thoughtful care to a diverse patient population, to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, and to pursue the understanding of the underlying pathophysiological events of musculoskeletal diseases so as to help patients transition back to accomplishing their activities of daily living. With this comprehensive perspective in mind, the PM&R specialty has become a very fascinating, challenging and fulfilling career path. For these reasons, I decided to further my goal of pursuing a specialization in PM&R, and continued

Someone once told me, nothing is impossible so long as you have determination and motivation by your side. California State University Northridge has prepared me to study and excel in a demanding academic environment. My most challenging time was when I had to balance three group projects, four finals, two clinical internships and work. With all these obligations, I managed to create an effective outlook on the situation while managing not to cut corners in any of my anticipated responsibilities. I planned my schedule accordingly to provide myself with enough time for each task at hand, as well as unexpected circumstances.

I sincerely have a deep desire to give back to my school and community at large.  I have been given so many opportunities to grow and succeed that I feel that I need to give back to in as many areas as possible.  My involvement in the community began in elementary school through my church group.  I have always had a love for the elderly.  I regularly visited nursing homes and assisted living facilities engaging in activities there.  Also, I worked with the Salvation Army during the Christmas break to raise money for the homeless.  In high school, I have had to manage my time wisely to include volunteering with the demands of advanced placement and dual enrollment classes and extra- curricular activities.  One of my main passions is to volunteer

Recent research has uncovered that the brain is connected to the immune system through vessels previously not thought to exist. The field of neuroscience is dynamic and mysterious, there are always new secrets to uncover, and old theories to debunk. I am pulled in at the prospect of researching the infinite possibilities. With only undergraduates at F&M, the slim possibility of conducting undergraduate research at a larger institution becomes a common reality. F&M’s successful neuroscience program and graduate-level equipment would support me in conducting research as well as prepare me in my endeavor to become an immunology

My interest in community service began in high school when I joined Key Club, a community service and leadership building organization focused on volunteer work. As time went on, I became the Junior Board Director, representing and guiding eleventh grade students during volunteer projects. We raised money for ZZ (UNICEF) and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (ZZ), organized social carnivals for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and helped set up and run-walks for March of Dimes and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, to name a few. I enjoy volunteering because it gives me a chance to share my many skills while learning new skills and working with people of all

My name is Taimi. I live in Miami, Florida. I have been married to my husband for 10 years, and we have 3 beautiful children. After more than 20 years experience in the health care field, I love to learn and enjoy sharing with others my passion for nursing. I am excited to start the MSN-HCSM program with Loyola, as I continue to grow into the leadership role. I look forward to getting to know all of you!

Before I started the MCBS Program I have always had a passion for web design, marketing and graphic design; I even took drawing classes to enhance my drawing skills to be able to have a strong graphic aspect. I’ve always been an inquisitive person so the eager to learn has always been natural to me.

MSU, Mankato has a wide diverse culture. From the day I started here, I have actually felt this university as a home. It’s been almost two years, and this university have turned me into better human being. Though it was very challenging for me to adapt in the first two weeks, but later it went all good through my professor, friends and my mentors. MSU organizes various activities which are fun and interesting. Through these activities, I got chance to make many new friends from different parts of the world. Getting involve into different activities organized by different communities have helped me to learn more about their culture and lifestyle.

I am always the first to volunteer, whether it be to take something down to the office, picking someone up from work who can’t find a ride, or to introduce myself to the new kid in school and help them feel comfortable in an unknown territory. Helping others has always been a passion of mine; you can meet so many new people, and experience a lot of things you wouldn’t normally be able to! I would be able to contribute my friendliness and passion for volunteering to Michigan State University and make everyone feel welcome.
