My Passion For Education

For me, this ideal means living a life of service by being receptive to the needs of others and by being a voice to the underserved members in one’s community. From a physician’s standpoint, this value could manifest as a thoughtful doctor who sees people and not diseases; pains and not symptoms; friends and not patients. This principle of valuing all people while committing to a life of service is something I have strived for throughout my life.

My passion out of hundreds of careers in the U.S is to pursue a career in Nursing. I choose this career because l believes in the change that Nurse brings to help make the world a better place. To fully comprehend the changes Nurses are creating in our society today and why I ‘am passionate about been part of the revolution, one has to look at the role they play in enhancing healthcare service. Nurses play an essential role as the first line of defense for health wellness and information. In addition steeping into someone’s life at their lowest moment and making a difference to their overall experience is an incredible privilege. Mahatma Gandi once said, "the best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others. Hopeless

Again by encountering both of Ryan and Michelle's struggles, I knew that going into Special Education is my passion. But, it was not only their struggles that made me want to go into a career of helping others. It is also from hearing about the past struggles that have happened for many individuals with disabilities in the Education system.

Contributing to my school and community is a true passion. I am involved in programs like the Red Cross, Angel Tree created by The Salvation Army, and Olive Garden’s Pasta For Pennies. My school hosted a Red Cross blood drive, and I was responsible for promoting the event to individuals within our school. We had a total of two hundred students donate blood. We helped save a total of six hundred lives! I also assisted the Program Angel Tree by promoting the program among the student organizations within my school. Our involvement has helped hundreds of less fortunate children and seniors receive necessities and gifts! As a team, the student council also collects spare change from students in our school. Our collaboration with Olive Garden has helped fund the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's School & Youth campaign. I am truly glad that my contributions have made an impact within my community and society! My strong involvement in extracurricular activities has helped me become knowledgeable, principled, and a risk-taker. I carry a strong sense of respect and righteousness, and I approach unfamiliar opportunities with a vision and great courage. I seek to set an example for members within my school, community, state, and

Like other service clubs, Key Club offers a variety of activities that gives us members plenty to choose from. These are opportunities that many students would participate in but are disoriented as to where to look; Key club facilitates this search. Volunteer activities such as Blood Drive, Humane Society and school clean ups have made me realize that there are endless possibilities to help out my community. Blood drive will help save individuals on the verge of life and death. Humane Society will provide care for animals that have reached a point of learned helplessness. School clean ups has kept our facility a symbol of pride. Knowing I saved a life, helped the helpless, and made my school a better place brings me pride beyond that of any materialistic thing. Standing up with fellow Key Club members not

Growing up down South, I did not have many academic opportunities, so, therefore, I participated in many clubs at school. To be a part of these clubs, there were certain requirements such as community service and a certain GPA. I have volunteered in several ways, but the main one that meant the most to me was being able to help my community by volunteering at the Community Center, educating and helping students engage in extracurricular activities that kept them interested in their academic courses. All of the clubs that I’ve participated in have always been to help my community inside and outside of school- not only do I volunteer my time to help those in need, but I also volunteer for many leadership roles. One leadership role that I find leaves a lasting impact is that of Boston Student Advisory Council, where I represent my high school and come up with innovative ways to better serve my

Since the sixth grade, I have been a member of National Charity League, a mother-daughter charity group. As a part of NCL, I am on the Ticktocker Council, a student board responsible for managing Ticktocker (the daughters) affairs and coordinating Ticktocker Day, an organization-wide philanthropy project day. For the past two years, I have been a part of Jewish Family Services Hand-Up Teen Leadership Board, which is a youth run organization that advocates and assists the local population on hunger issues. Within the program, I am on the middle school board,

The genesis of my eager enthusiasm for the study of education, an enthusiasm that blossomed into a fervent pursuit for a career in this field, stems from an innate drive that sprang to life at a very young age. At the mere age of seven, I relished the idea of crafting lesson plans for my stuffed animals who sat eagerly in the middle of my childhood room. I positioned my chalkboard easel in the corner and stood proudly teaching them the ABC’s along with simple arithmetic. Every now and then I would look back at them to make sure my stuffed polar bear who sat in the very back understood my explanations. I even remember hurrying back from school in third grade with the intention of constructing a new classroom design, since I felt that each subject demanded a different setup.

Ever since I could remember, I have always dreamt of being a professional dancer. From taking classes since I was three to attending summer dance intensives to being chosen to perform the lead role in my studio’s production of the Nutcracker, I have always had a passion for dancing. As I grew up, I realized that I also had a passion for learning, and I became determined to excel in school. Now that I am approaching college, I know that I want to attend a school that provides a challenging academic curriculum and a good dance program. Since the University of Richmond is a highly selective institution that provides both a rigorous liberal arts education and a stellar dance program, I believe that the University of Richmond is the right fit for

I was raised up believing in the importance of service and community as I saw my family members and neighbors selflessly help and be in community with people in need. It is therefore no surprise that I discovered my passion for service and volunteerism while still young. In my hometown Nairobi, Kenya, I did community service through various ways, including my involvement in the charity walk for Street Children and Orphans in Kenya in 2003 and the 2007 Brookside Freedom from Hunger Campaign. I participated in the charity walk for these causes and helped raise money to support street children, orphans, ending hunger, and was recognized as one of the top three people to raise the most funds. In high school, I volunteered at the St. Nicholas Children's home in Kenya, where I served, played, and was in solidarity with the children. In 2013, I earned the President’s Bronze Standard award given to me by Honorable Mwai Kibaki, the third president of Kenya for being a young person equipped with positive life skills and a change maker in my community, country, and globally.

“The best way to truly experience the USC Aiken School of Nursing is not to just imagine yourself here- but be here!” Nursing has been my dream since 2005 and I have only fallen in love with it more. I am a great candidate for this program because I have wonderful leadership skills. I am a youth leader at my church and just how I take charge of my youth, it is imperative that nurses take charge of situations and handle it competently. I also believe teamwork makes the dream work. In addition, I have passion for the profession. It is not an easy career choice, but when you truly love something, you would try your best to follow your dream.

My true passion for engineering began when I came across the quote: "Technology are devices that make our lives better". Despite my first love of mathematics, my recent interest for engineering has come from two major influences. The first being my mathematics and physics teachers, both engineers by nature, who have helped me enhance the fundamental skills essential for engineering and embrace the importance of the field. The second being the learning about uses of technology in Computer Science, it taught me the magnitude of which technology contributes to our everyday lives has led me to intensify my desire to improve the lives of others.

The moment in my education career that has contributed to my own journey towards happiness was the day I was admitted to college. I remember that day perfectly, I was just arriving from school and my sister gave me the news. A big package arrived with my name on it from Penn State. Immediately, I assumed that it was the resolution from my application that I had summited to Penn State. While holding the package I immediately started having mix-emotions I was nervous, excited and anxious all at the same time. I told my sister who was next to me to hold my hand tight as possible and to feel fast heart rate. After a few minutes I was brave enough to finally open the package and I was ready to find out the resolution. As soon I was opened the letter I notice that it said “congratulations” I stopped reading the letter since I knew I was accepted. At that moment I knew that I made the right choice to continue with my education. Words cannot describe how content I was and to share that experience with my sister was priceless to me.

A passion is a strong love and interest you have towards something. It may for something you love doing, like reading, gardening, art, or even sports. Passions can be temporary, but while you have them, they can be fun. I have experienced a passion for several activities. When I was just four years old, I got involved in gymnastics. As I got older, my passion for gymnastics faded, and it did not appeal to me anymore. I recently quit doing gymnastics, but I admit it was fun while my passion for it lasted. I got many benefits out of doing gymnastics, including friends, skills, and some flexibility. Now I’m into art, which I’m sure will give me many benefits as well.
