First, I would like to thank the organizations responsible for funding this research work, including Michigan State University for travel funding supports, and National Institute of Health (NIH) for research funding. I greatly appreciate the investments made by the organizations in my development as a scientist. My undergraduate education at Ocean University of China (OUC) laid a solid foundation for my scientific career. With the abundant research funding provided by OUC, I was able to start real scientific research when I was a sophomore, and I gradually recognized my interest and potential in research, which served as the initial motivation to continue my education in a graduate school. The knowledge, skills and scientific habits I acquired from these research experiences also facilitate my graduate study. …show more content…
Importantly, I would like to thank Dr. Dana M. Spence, my advisor, for his guidance in the past three and a half years. He does not push his students too much, but let them develop independently. He will check your progress to make sure you are on the correct track. This “free” atmosphere made me feel comfortable, but also trained me to conduct research in a more independent manner and make plans for myself. I believe the training I have received from him is invaluable, which will undoubtedly benefit me throughout life. I would also like to thank Dr. L. Karl Olson from the department of physiology at MSU, who trained me how to culture INS-1 cells in his laboratory, without which, this research work cannot be completed. I also appreciated the help provided by Dr. Merlin Bruening and Dr. David P. Weliky in the past a few
The National Honors Society allows students to be build and create traits that are essential in a successful adult. I truly believe that hold many of these traits and joining the National Honor Society will grant me the opportunity to expand on these traits and grow as a person. Thus far I have focus greatly on the scholarship aspect of NHS and have been dedicated to my academics. I have held my GPA above 4.0 and have always been devoted to maintaining that high level of academic success. The skills I have shown in devoting myself to my academics can be easily translated into my dedication for the other aspects of leadership, service and character. Having previously held a officer role in the National Junior Honor Society I have gained experience
My father is going to retire in some years and my mother is a house wife. They both have invested in their house heavily therefore these reasons might affect my family’s ability to fund my college tuition.
I believe that my scholarship, citizenship, character, and willingness to serve and lead will be a great addition to the NJHS. When completing work, I am able to finish it diligently and efficiently. Whether it be volunteering at a race for wounded veterans, or doing classwork, I do it to the best of my ability. I would like to gain service experience through the NJHS. In the leadership aspect, I have knowledge from workshops. I am able to be a leader without being controlling in small and large group activities. When working individually I am able to keep my self-control, with a teacher around or not. This includes acting in a respectful manor towards teachers and students. I treat all of my peers with kindness, respect
My effort to serve my community have been an immensely important area that I always try to expand on. From my hundred and seventy service hours, I have learned that giving back even in small amounts positively affects the lives of the people involved. My favorite memories of serving my local area is during the special NJROTC ceremonies when I am able to see the wonderful faces of veterans and military families when we present the colors or the veteran with a flag. Through school, I have been able to see the faces of incoming freshmen in my workroom mature into the present sophomores and the students today. In my church, I am apart of the Ushering team which assists with the service every few weeks. Through this, I am able to see the bright
Being able to have anything you could imaging on your own pair of sneakers would interest many people. Your shoes will be an eye catcher and stand out in a crowd. If all of your friends have the same pair of shoes, and you want yours to be just a little bit different, with my help, that can be made possible. Because I enjoy customizing shoes, and I will need to have knowledge to own a profitable business, I am going to go to Germanna Community College starting next year. After Germanna, I will transfer into JMU’s exceptional business program, where I plan to get a business degree.
Like most young boys I grew up idolizing sport heroes, racing kids on the playground, and playing sports outside. My teams were the Cowboys, the Astros, and later on in life the Aggies. Consequentially, if you didn’t love Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio than I didn’t really like you. Although most of these decisions were made based upon my brother’s sport interest, I learned to love them in my own way. After all, my brother was the one who I played basketball with, threw the football and baseball with, and eventually the one who inspired my love for A&M and the Aggies. For all my life I can remember wanting to play sports and wanting to watch sports, but around 7th grade when my brother moved off to A&M is when I really started getting the sports bug. Visiting for home games, standing in the
The reason I have graced you with my letter is to convince you why I am worthy of a scholarship and to tell you about my goals in life.
As a high achieving and dedicated student of Kilcoy State High School, I feel that I am worthy of being awarded an academic scholarship for 2017-2018. To address the basic criteria given, I am currently enrolled in year 10 and I intend to complete a QCE over 2017 & 2018. My school attendance has been excellent over the past 5 ½ semesters (two days absent total - approximately 99.5% attendance). I have consistently achieved A’s in all of my subjects over that period with the exception of one B in Year 8 HPE. These achievements can be attributed to my effort, persistence, commitment and dedication toward my schoolwork, both in class and at home.
Coming into UNF in fall of 2017 I will be a transfer student. The choice to transfer wasn’t hard at all. I was born and raised in Jacksonville and miss home terribly. After not being happy at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida I knew I needed to move back home to Jacksonville and finish up my degree at the best school in Jacksonville, which happens to have a good exercise science program. I chose to transfer UNF’s Exercise Science program because I miss home, but also because I have heard great things about the program from former and current students.
High School wasn’t smooth sailing for me and my GPA wasn’t at its full potential. With senior prom and all my senior activities it felt as if time was slowly but surely running out. High school was some of my best years but I was dying to graduate and attend college and be on my own but in order to do so I had to score really high on the ACT or SAT. I was so nervous while taking the SAT and I didn’t do good as I wanted to, feeling defeated I studied really hard for the ACT. Even though I studied the butterflies when I entered the room where the test was being administered wouldn’t go away but I did feel more confident. I took the test and waited days for my results. I was so excited that I scored a 24. I learned that if you put your mind to something you will succeed every time. I took full responsibility for my future and I planned on having a bright one. I felt as a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. After receiving the good news I applied to a total of four universities and I was accepted by all of them. Even though I applied to different schools my dream college was to attend Louisiana State University. Unfortunately LSU’s nursing program is not like an average nursing program. Sadly their nursing program is not located on LSU’s campus

Furthering my education at Fairmont State University is the best decision I have made. I started college at West Virginia University and it was a disaster for me. So, I say this with sincerity, being a member of Fairmont State University is an honor. The instructors here care and make me feel valued, they are willing to go that extra mile for any student that would need it. The professional relationships I have here, are essential to me and the make me a very determined individual. I believe I am a prime example of hard work and I am paving the way for success, proving I deserve consideration for scholarships.
Continuing with my graduate studies at UNO would be vital to my continual growth and developmental, in both the academic and professional realms. Having done my Undergraduate studies at UNO was an eye opening and extremely beneficial opportunity which I will be eternally grateful for having and something that I would love to continue with my Graduate studies within the university. Completing my Bachelors of Arts at UNO granted me the opportunity to work with amazing professors who helped shape me into who I am today and granted me the opportunity to expand my knowledge further than the classroom with helping me to conduct my own research. I was able to conduct two research projects focusing on the issues the Hispanic population face, both of which have been presented at the Midwest Sociological Society’s Annual Meetings. My hope is
Ever since I was a young kid I have always been interested in movies. My grandma, who was full of the wise the life experience left, always knew about my interest in movies. She feed my vain for the art. Even though her religion, she professed Adventist of seven-day religion, didn't let her go to the cinema, she always found the way to took me to the cinema. She and I enjoyed watch movies. We used to sit in the darkness room, with our faces illuminated from the reflection of the light which rebooted from the screen, both absorbs in the plot of the movie which made us laughed or cried. After the movie, while we went back to her home, she started to talk about the movie. She had a particular point of view where the main story
During the year of 2014 there were an estimated 112,600 architects employed and approximately 20% were self-employed. Architects have a high competition for jobs and job positions are estimated to increase seven percent each year (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Degrees for this field of study can be found at many colleges including Kansas State University. Kansas State is a great college that is full of opportunities for scholarships and has a wide variety of clubs and degrees.
