My Personal Statement : Dr. Hansen

Pursing a career as a medical doctor is an opportunity for me to mentor youth in underserved populations. As a child, I was raised in the low income, urban community of Roxbury, MA. Although not as notorious today, the neighborhood had garnered negative attention for its high crime rates. My mother emigrated from Haiti and raised me as a single parent. Due to our financial circumstance, Roxbury became our permanent residence. I have always felt there was something lacking in Roxbury in comparison to other towns I visited. My teenage years were largely spent in the suburban town of Stoneham where I attended high school. There was a literal difference in air quality and a psychology contrast in future prospects. While native students of

I wanted to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. I figured the best way of to inspire would be to offer the educational opportunities. My initial goal was to establish a FIRST LEGO League team in every single school in my district. I knew I needed money, a location, student participation, and the approval of the school district. Unfortunately, I knew I needed someone high up in my school district to support my goal. Without the support from someone high up, my project would likely have been slowed to a halt in the slow approval process of my school district. With the guidance my mentors, I typed up an email to the superintendent of my school district. The next month we walked into her conference room dressed for success and bestowing to her a request for a robotics team in every school in our district. Unfortunately, with one swift swoop of her hand, she forced us to re-evaluate the entire plan. She claimed the district wouldn’t be able to do something of that scale that soon, both financially and administratively. I was still determined, however, and was able to compromise with starting in the middle schools and no financial support from the school. We could, though, use their community education system for insurance and to manage registration. Fortunately, I was able to secure $10,000 from our team’s booster

There are few certainties of what one will encounter during life. A common joke names two: death and

The investigations revealed that Mr. Smith failed to investigate any incidents that were reported by Ryan with regards to his being bullied. Mr. Smith told Mrs. Bright that he would personally handle this situation. If was revealed that one of the bullies was Mr. Bright’s distant cousin. Surveillance tapes were pulled from the time frame the bullying happened. Most of the reported bullying incidents were recorded on the cameras. It showed exactly what Ryan had reported to administrators. Ryan, through his parents, filed a lawsuit against Mr. Smith and the HCSD. The case went to trial and Ryan was awarded the sum of $45,000 for pain and suffering. Mr. Smith received a three day suspension and reassignment to another school within the district due to his negligence in the incident. Mrs. Bright was verbally reprimanded. She escaped further reprimands because her involvement in the case was minimal. Mrs. Bright told me that her intuition bothered her from the beginning. She stated she couldn’t put a finger on it. This was the first time she had been instructed by Mr. Smith not to investigate an incident. Usually, she was the one that initiated student bullying cases and then reported her findings to Mr. Smith. After detailing her

The most important experiences I’ve had in science began when I was a child and have continued through my time as a student researcher at Howard University. My exposure to science in medicine occurred at a young age and on an intimate level. When I was young, I had various health problems asthma, allergies, and eczema; it was as if my body was rejecting the world it was in. My parents immigrated to the United States so their children could have the opportunity to realize our dreams. Every day I think about the hardships they went through and it pushes me, and makes me a better scientist. The challenges I experienced at a young age sparked my initial interest in medicine, but later influenced my decision to pursue MD/PhD. As a child frequently

Picture this...A freshman student at a prestigious university in the USA claims a college sports coach allowed senior members to bully and haze her. She says the bullying and hazing occurred during Rookie Night. The freshman student says she was forced to "drink alcohol and wear sexually inappropriate and degrading clothing" and that she was tied up and forced to drink during one of the games. She also says that after Rookie Night, the hazing and drinking continued and that the coach penalized her for not cooperating fully with the hazing. The student 's father files a lawsuit against the coach and makes plans to sue the school too.

USciences gives me the opportunity to attain higher education. By attaining higher education, I will be able to apply the knowledge and experiences I have gained in the workplace. Furthermore, USciences provides a great opportunity of various clinical settings, hands on experience, and allows me to be a part of a diverse group of individuals within the community. I believe hands on experience in various clinical settings will enhance my ability to provide better care for my patients. By enhancing my abilities, I will feel more confident in what I do in the future. Like any other career, I feel like it is important to feel confident in your job. For example, with physical therapy, patients are trusting the physical therapist to provide the best

On the contrary, the university and the police department turned their backs on her. They refused to run a DNA test on the football star immediately doing nothing for ten months. Next came victim blaming, where statements were made saying she was a liar and how unfortunate it was for him to go through this turmoil that can affect his career. Ultimately, the case got dismissed and the football star made no apologies and answered no questions, only making a statement saying any sex that happened was consensual. There lies the problem with the college institutions, they allowed this man to get away with this crime simply because he was an asset to the university. This act makes us wonder what resources are put in place to protect young women from situations like this, and how many more instances has to occur for the system to change.

On Wednesday, December 2 at approximately 10 AM I received a call on my cell phone from the vice principal at Toppenish high Mr. E. Romero. He informed me that he had gotten a tip that a student might have a knife in Mr. Alying's room. I meet him at the room that student Robert Bennett was in. We took him to another room where the vice principal and one of the other administrator searched Robert and his bag while I observed. They found a 3 inch folding knife along with a can of chewing tobacco. I escorted the student along with the contraband to the office where I handed him over to the principal Mrs. B. Mallonee so she could handle the discipline of Robert. As of right now Robert Bennett has been suspended until he can have a hearing with

While she said the damage had been done in her case, she filed a federal complaint in hopes of saving other victims from facing similar problems. In early 2016 the same student that transferred because of the harassment found out that Notre Dame had more sexual assault case which allegedly involves a serial offender and multiple undergraduates. She provided a quote for the situation “I’ve talked to one of the students involved in that,” the former graduate student said. “A lot of what went wrong in that case are exactly the same things that me and the other complainant in the sexual harassment complaints were dealing with — not letting people present evidence, Title IX complaints not being treated as Title IX complaints. The thing that sort of breaks my heart is, had the university addressed the things we had been concerned about in 2013, their complaints would’ve been handled differently, in a way that would’ve been less harmful to the students.” She also said, “A climate that doesn’t take harassment seriously is going to be the same kind of climate where sexual violence cases go wrong.” This quote is very powerful and true. If Notre Dame is going to keep sweeping everything under the rug then the environment will not get any better. At this point the

We are formally complaining that Ms Sanchez failed to follow MNPS policy as outlined in MNPS Student – Parent Handbook 2016 – 2017, regarding her selecting the Response of Expulsion of a student, Joseph Woods. First and foremost is the fact that not a single member of the staff of Cain Ridge High School has sat down and talked to Joseph to hear his story of the events of Friday, Feb. 3rd, 2017. That is the first item listed for any disciplinary response from a Level A up to a Level E. How anybody could expect fair and impartial treatment to be administered without someone even hearing both sides to a story is unfathomable to us. We look upon this failure as unethical, disrespectful and irresponsible. Joseph was handed a witness statement to

If I was required to give myself a nickname, I think I would like something that is slightly whimsical, but still relevant to who I am and my interests. Therefore, I believe that I would give myself the nickname Doctor Banana. I would use the doctor part as an obvious reference to my interest in the medical profession, but also due to the fact that some of my friends in college will come to me about some general medical questions that they have. I would include Banana for two reasons. The first being that it shares the first four letters of my name and the second reason being that when my closest friend first saw my name written down on the door of my dorm freshman year, she read it as bananafish. I would like to use that part of my nick name

The bottom line is like all school systems they have their faults, but some more than others. The teacher is to blame in a sense for doing what they did, but the school is also partially responsible for the incident. The school system is at fault. They are the ones in charge of hiring these disgusting minded people that would do such to a child. The child did not ask for this to happen. So why did it happen? If the school system really would have thoroughly examined the teacher before hiring him, maybe this incident would not have happened. Also, if there was more security and monitoring going on in classrooms this could have been prevented. That is where the school system fails, at the protection of the students, because the teacher should

Mr. Hall is buying up missile-silo sites and building them out with high-end luxury condos, designed to survive a nuclear attack. Condos include a range of amenities such as a spa, a hydroponic garden and a 5-year supply of food. The units are sold as second or emergency homes, priced from $1.5M to $3M each and buyers have typically been high wealth individuals such as doctors, scientists and entrepreneurs. Mr. Hall is meeting the needs of customers who have fears about terrorism, pandemics and the financial crisis and who have the means to continue living a life of luxury in one of his condos should the need arise.

“Jackie”, a freshman student at the University of Virginia, was brutally raped by 7 men after a fraternity party. She was lured up to a 3rd floor room by a man named “Drew”, and in the weeks in months after her assault she says, “He acted as though nothing unusual had happened, even thanking me for a ‘great time’”. Drew and his 6 friends who committed this assault, graduated that fall from UVA and were never charged for their crime. Jackie never received the justice she so desperately needed. Why? Because UVA handled her rape allegations internally, and a call was never made to the police. Yet another example of this occured at the prestigious Stanford University. This time to a sophomore, who had met a star player on the Stanford football team one Saturday night. She was raped. The football player claimed it was consensual. The women wanted to go through the correct channels so she first reported it to her school. Because of Title IX’s lax policies towards investigations, it was up to five board members to decide if sexual assault has occurred that night. They decided it hadn’t, without so much as rape kit. The woman said her investigation was shoved under the rug, “I realized that I got into this school and deserved to get an education here. He was a valued player, but I had earned my right to be here, too.” Under Title IX, it is up to colleges to adjudicate their cases of rape and sexual assault as they please,allowing them no only to never investigate, but to do so
