My Personal Statement On My Life

I believe I am an appropriate candidate for the role of a prefect due to my empathetic and reliable nature. In the previous months, I volunteered in a Science mentoring course run by the Mulberry School’s Science Department. This invaluable opportunity enhanced my desire of helping and supporting the younger pupils for their academic success. Therefore, I am determined that I will be able to maintain and build a stronger relationship with the lower school students through the role of a prefect. Furthermore, this year, I was also involved in the Youth Conference organised my Mulberry. This was an immensely inspirational event allowed me to develop my teamwork and organisational skills, which are two extremely essential abilities for a suitable

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

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

My personal philosophy is made up of a combination of questions and ideas from the three branches of philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. Metaphysics is the study of where the world comes from, what it is made of, and if anything is eternal or changing. Epistemology focuses on what we know, how we know it, and if there is any absolute truth. Ethics analyzes decision making and morals.

Through my whole life I have always desired to go to college. I observed the hardships that members of my family endured by choosing not to go to college and lacked the proper skills needed for a sufficient job. I never want that for me, and one day when I have a family of my own I want to be able to do my share in providing for them properly. While both of my parents have taken post secondary classes, neither have obtained a college degree, and they have always pushed me to pursue my dreams in getting into a school of my choice. I have always loved my science classes and have dreamed of majoring in a science field. When I was younger, my great-grandmother died with Alzheimer's, and I was so devastated that I told my mother I was going to grow up and cure Alzheimer's. I never wanted another soul to feel what I was feeling at that moment.

I care deeply about people with disabilities. I believe that people do not understand what is really like for someone who happens to have a disability. They treat them rudely or differently. They do not understand the way the perceive topics, the way the take some remark a person may have said, and they do not understand that they are teased. I think we need to think before we do things.

Yale: Yale is an ivy league school, and that generally means they have a lot of money to give to applicants and students in the form of endowments. The school is ranked 3rd in the nation with a high graduation rate and a very good computer science program. Connecticut is relatively close to maryland so I can stay close to my family. Also, this school was just below a reach school for me, so the further I go into my academic career the more confident I feel that I will become a more competitive applicant.

Once I’d made my list it took me a while to become willing. Just as doing anything about my drinking or my character defects, my willingness to make proper amends only came when I was hurting, when I was disturbed enough to become willing to do something about it. That my drinking, character defects and harms done affected other people was no prompt to get me into action. I became motivated not because an amend was due but because I was hurting. Am I selfish, self-seeking and self-centred? Yes you betcha.

The light from the warm sun streamed through the blinds and bounced off my eyelids as my obnoxious alarm yelled to me that it was time for school. I refused to believe that I had to awake from my fantasy dreams and move out of my heavenly bed, so I aggressively snagged my phone to press snooze, for the fifth time of course. Getting up for school has always been a dying task for me. The thought of leaving my toasty hot blankets and actually getting ready to go to a place that looked like a filthy prison, all just to receive a cheap education through our pathetic government was at the bottom of my list of things to do. Of course eventually I got out of bed, but that was not my choice, it was my mom’s. After my mother’s many threats of being grounded, I rolled out of bed uttering several moans and groans. The moment the sheets slipped off my silky soft pajamas, and I stepped onto the icy, cold hardwood floor my body was overwhelmed with sadness. My poor attitude and I stomped down the stairs and grabbed the first decent thing in the pantry to eat for breakfast. This morning it was cheerios without the milk because I was feeling extra lazy. After eating the honey glazed cardboard, I decided that maybe I should actually get ready. I stared into my closet while simultaneously throwing almost every article of clothing I grabbed to the ground because it simply wasn’t going to match my light, ripped denims. With boiling frustration, I ran to my mother’s closet and grabbed one of her

I am currently a sophomore attending Northwest Vista College and will be receiving my associate’s degree in applied science. My journey to obtain my associates has not been easy. Nevertheless, I am accomplishing my goal and over the moon to be doing so. I did not plan to get my associates, I had originally planned just to bypass it completely and move on to get a bachelor in biology, however my health had other plans in mind. My health complications forced me to change my perspective on my life and to reconstruct how I prioritized everything in my life.

I would consider myself a fortunate person, especially when it comes to the dear relationships I have in my life. I am an only child, and I have always been extremely close to my parents. My father is one of my best friends and greatest supporters. The majority of the people I encounter always remark on how I am the spitting image of my mother, but those who talk to me long enough realize that I have the same mannerisms and ways of my father.

I would like to start to be kinder to others, find more time to focus on myself and who I am, and finally, I want to be more positive and stop complaining. Throughout life, I was raised to do well in school and that 's my main focus. I was pushed to get good grades and to forget the rest. Now that my high school career is coming to an end I have more time for some self change. I want to spend less time focusing on what others want and what I want. I 'm told many times I could be nicer to others and stop complaining as much. I tend to want to do what others think is best and not what I think is best for me. So those are just a few ways I wish to change and ways I want to improve myself.

Sitting at my desk on a Monday afternoon, I’ve suddenly become very aware of how loud I’m tapping on my keyboard. Typing up my weekly summary should have held all my focus but instead my mind got caught in the thought of “What if?”. What if I took the risk of quitting my job to go pursue what I really wanted to do? At the time I quickly waved the concept off of my mind because I did not know that it was an actual possibility. But no matter the effort of blocking the thought, the same recurring question kept prying open my curiosity. I used to be a firm believer of finding a career that connects with your own passions and values, yet the twists of life can lead a person to abandon those dreams in order to be able to provide for themselves and their families. I am one of the lucky individuals who found support within my family to pursue what I really want. For me that dream is to one day establish my own business that helps bring exposure to the foods and culture of my birthplace. Starting a business to me is freedom, the freedom to make your own decisions. I personally believe that business can have a different purpose other than capital gain, business holds the power of being able to affect positive change within your community in a field where you are most passionate. An education that will help me achieve my goals of opening up a community business is beyond valuable: it is something that can help me make wise decisions that will equip me with the right knowledge to be

I entered my home after I dropped off my sons at camp and tossed my shoes off my feet, next to the dryer. This house was completely silent and I was left alone with my thoughts that nobody else could figure out but me. I went into my office and sat down in my chair, I came in here whenever I truly needed to think and today was one of those days. I needed to think and sort things out in my own head as to what was going on in my life and how I could take steps to move forward.

I just sit here and assault my brain by staring at a television screen all day trying to break into a virtual high security bank with my virtual weaponry and my virtual team of get-away drivers, security system hackers, and military level recon units. Doritos and Mountain Dew litter the area around me, and as a loading screen appears on the screen I scramble to shovel as much of those corn chips into my mouth before the next death match starts. My neck beard is grown to its fullest, and it smells like I have not even seen a shower in a month. I am a gamer. Many people will take one look at me and assume my life is a waste. To me, I am living the best I can. I have things that I enjoy doing, and even if it seen as wrong, I will not be afraid to continue perusing what makes me happy.
