My Personal Statement On My Life

My vision as an undergraduate student of the Haskayne School of Business (HSB) is to become a well-rounded influential leader and equip myself with a set of skills and values that will enhance me as an individual in my career. Thus, my goal is to succeed academically and socially, graduating with a distinction and having built strong relationships.

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

This class has overall been one of my favorite classes that I have taken over the past four years five years at DeSales. I learned more than I expected and have implemented some of these learned lessons towards simple excel calculations into my work at my job. For my chosen project, I decided to take a look at one of my hobbies. During my senior year I took a personal finance and discussed with one of my professors about my collection of trading cards. The result of this conversation, had me start thinking about the overall value of my collection for insurance purposes and if I ever sold the collection.

It was a cold autumn night in North Carolina when I realized that my youth was being taken away from me. I wanted to run away and go back to the life that I had known; where I had the opportunity to go to school was happy and understood the language. Instead I was in a foreign land with my family and we could not return for there was no future in my homeland. According to my father, we had to keep migrating because it was the best thing for our family. It was then when I realized that this is not what I wanted for my family and I asked my father that we needed to go somewhere where I can go to school because it was affecting everybody including my little brother. My father raised me to believe I could accomplish anything I set my mind to

I have been a communications officer in FCR for 8yrs, I was also a special constable for 7yrs, during my time as a comms officer I have progressed through call taking and dispatching. Last year I was successfully promoted to scale 5 and have been working as a senior comms officer since that time. I am a tutor and have tutored 9 new members of staff on call taking and dispatch and 2 others on the ANPR desk. I am fully trained in ANPR, VODS, recruitment and selection interviewing and as an acting supervisor. I am also the health and safety SPOC along with first aid and fire marshal for FCR a role I volunteered to take on alongside my normal duties. I have completely rewritten the health and safety book to bring it up to date, I have

I thrive on gaining knowledge. Even now, as a non-traditional student and busy mother to two young children, learning excites me. As an 18-year-old in Germany, I began a 10-year career as a military analyst that honed my ability to think critically, pay attention to detail, and visualize holistic solutions to unique problems. However, I spent my free time riding a bike along The Rhine searching for a quiet space to settle in with the wisdom of books such as The Art of Happiness and The Elegant Universe. There, on those riverbanks, I discovered within myself an innate curiosity of the mind and the fundamental nature of the world.

I started my career in an unorthodox way: delivering science and technology news directly to

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.

Apparently everyone thinks we don't want to be involved with my side of the family anymore... I guess because I have been uncharacteristically short in my responses, or not reaching out to initiate conversations with you..I don't know if it all warranted an assumption that I don't want to be involved anymore, but whatever the reasons may be... First of all, let me say, it is not "we", it's me. You've hurt me.To be blatantly honest, I'm kind of pissed. My family didn't show any support to me/us in Gracyn's birth. My mom was there, so I can't say she didn't support, although she was in private conversation with the family (not sure who all), deliberating about the progression of the labor and underminding the midwives, as a guest at our experience.

When I first moved to the United States, one of the things that confused me the most about Americans was their apparent lack of hospitality. It was almost astounding the way our neighbors were so inhospitable to those around them. They did not converse with anyone on the block nor did they give out the feeling of wanting to converse with anyone. The only friendly people there were the Filipino families next to our house and the one four houses down from ours. I loved my culture because as a kid, I grew up being taught to respect everyone around you and always be kind and caring. It was taught to me by my grandparents, my parents, my teachers, and my peers. The Filipino sense of hospitality is, in my opinion, one the the best things in the

I am a senior attending world of inquiry high school I am a hardworking student I do get distracted sometimes and nobody in my family would have think i would be here where i am today because I was born so early I was premature and I had a lot of issues when I was young because how small I was and I heard a lot from my family and I was worried that since I was born early it affected me in school and the skills that I have learn is that to never give up and at least try and if I still can't do something I can ask a teacher or someone for help if needed and always think positive i also learned that keeping positive people around me and have people encourage me to do better and have a connection with an adult so I can have someone to talk to

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.

I would like to become staff on the mineage server as in the past I always have not been toxic towards players. I was once but it was mucking around with my friend in public chat and got muted for it as i remember typing this, but I have learnt from that and now If I ever want to muck around with a friend I will privately so no one else can see, in saying that if I become staff I will not muck around in any bad way what so ever. I have played mineage with my friend “21st”. As saying I have little to no past experience I am a very quick learner and only need to be told how to do something once and I will not need to be told again as I will be able to remember it. In saying this I am a good listener and will listen to any staff member that

Business is the process of combining land, labor, and capital to generate wealth in the form of goods and services that contribute to the quality of life. Therefore, as an individual who is in the process of generating wealth, I will anticipate to be perceived as a “risk-taker” in the eyes of society. To become a “risk-taker” means that I will be able to accept new challenges and shortcoming, as I generate wealth that contribute to the quality of life for myself and society.
