My Personal Statement On My Life

Because he (supposedly) has said energy, anyone who walks into his office, works for him, enters his car auction, or just interacts with his business in any way also gains part of that energy, and thus the universe starts to give them what they want as well. He was convinced that “[my] life has significantly improved since [I] started working here a year and a half ago. [I’ve] become more self-aware and those coincidences seem to happen more often. That is the universe bringing things to [me].” While the concept was nice, I am not sure if the world actually works that way. After the interview, I had more questions than answers, and I had not even gotten the chance to ask him about his actual business. I also really was not sure if he was a pure genius or if I needed to check him into a mental hospital. Probably both.

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

He was very professional and empathetic to the situation taking place at school. His personality was very relaxed and relatable, he was easy to talk with and have a conversation. He seemed very knowledgable in the main questions that were asked. He did not pressure the sale, but he

He told me that training was provided and if I ever needed any pointers to seek him out. Little did he know I would abuse that open door policy he established with me, constantly picking his brain about different sales tactics and customer service scenarios. He was always willing to make the time and with each meeting we had I continued to grow better. So good that there was a point I lead the store in accessories sale three months in a row. There were times though where I needed advice on more than just “up selling a bundle package” and even then he would listen to my concerns and share with me his experiences. There was a day I showed up and I wasn’t quite myself. After a little bit of conversation Manny asked me if everything was alright if I had anything that was worrying me. I shared with him my growing fear of being stuck in the city (Cleveland), and not ever being able to leave because I can’t afford to get a degree let alone pay my rent. He smiled at me and proceeded to tell me how he was in a similar situation when he got out of high school.

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.

My friends and teachers would call me resilient and hard working. Five years ago, my world changed. I was 12 years old when we arrived in Canada from Iran. I had been reluctant to leave my childhood friends to emigrate. I had no friends in this new country and could not communicate effectively at school due to the language barrier. My parents were physicians in Iran and now stayed home to study for the Canadian accreditation exams. Our family dynamic had changed. At our household, success had always been expected and failure was never an option. This meant that, in addition to learning English quickly and finding new friends, I would need to excel academically as well. The first two years were challenging but, with a tremendous amount of support from teachers and friends at school and my parents at home, I was able to pull through and succeed. Now looking back at my journey after five years, the decision to move to Canada was probably the best thing that has ever happened in my life. I am aware that I am still at the beginning of a path that will shape my future and I am also mindful that life can have unpredictable ups and downs. I look forward to building upon the valuable lessons of emigration and giving back to the community that has openhandedly and graciously provided me with my new home.

Being a student of the brand and industry. I say this because not only do I look at this career as a job, but I look at as a learning opportunity. Working with such smart, talented and experienced individuals has helped polished my skills and improved my overall knowledge.

Certain people like to talk about themselves, many are indifferent, and some fear the attention and would rather be left alone. For me, It is easy to talk about myself. I am comfortable with who I am; and I am confident that I will become who I want to be. In the future I plan to become a standing figure in the business community. It is arrogant of me to believe I will start at the top. I know that it will take time and handwork to achieve my goal. I am not afraid of the challenges that are to come; and I am ready for the obstacles that lay ahead. Luckily I have a strong base to guide me through my journey. My family and friends are understanding of my aspirations and support my endeavors.They share the same values i do and respect my intentions. For now Im pursuing my vision one step at a time. Furthering my education is my next step however, My time at college has been a wake up call. Presented with college level curriculum with little time to adjust has forced me to adapt to the stress. I believe that each obstacle I overcome will put me one step closer to my goal. The purpose of this essay is to discuss and explain my mission to become a positive influence on society, while reflecting on the strengths/values that will help me succeed.

We met around noon and got the basic get to know you questions out of the way. This was to build upon the rapport Lisa had already established via email and phone calls. Earlier in the week Lisa had prioritized prospects by reaching out to business owners in the market for a new server product. Although there were many to choose from this was the first to set a meeting with because he had already flown over for another conference that happened to be close. During this time Lisa had researched him, found out what he did, and developed an initial strategy to go about the meeting. We learned the customer was from Taiwan where he had a small family of 3 in a downtown apartment. He had never heard of show cattle, never been on a farm, never eaten a carne guisada taco, and the cotton plant was very foreign to him. The fact that our family was involved with agriculture and the

I felt comfortable putting forth my needs as they were genuine and needed immediate attention. I was asked to wait for 15 minutes and that too played a vital role in me starting on a strong note. I was well versed with the norms of the bank and their regulations. It is always

The Sales Rep approached us and introduced herself as Amanda. Sales Rep, Amanda inquired what we were looking to purchase and what we would be the main use of the cellphone. After stating that we were not sure but the activities are texting, local calls, Facebook and google searches. The Sales Rep then because showing us other cellphones and telling us the features each phone provided.

It crazy how a minute detail can change the entire outcome a situation. Life has many hardships, I for one believe that it is these hardships that shapes us into what we are today. I was about ten years old but had the mentality of a four year old boy. Mostly cried when I was denied a toy or grounded for being mischievous. Like every other week I would grind my way into emotionally blackmailing my parents to allow me to go to my friends place and then go the extra mile to stay as long as possible.

And here I was in front of twenty five sets of eyes staring at me, judging my clothes , my hair, my facial expressions and of course my ability to demonstrate I’m capable of doing what I’m here to show them. How did I get here? I asked myself, I never thought I would be so brave as to do this, I never trusted myself or never imagined I would be in this place.

We looked at the tractors, disks, chisels, and all of the other equipment in the lot as he began his sales process. He told me that if I were a farmer that came in and knew exactly what I wanted, he would drive me right up to it and sell it to me on the spot. “But lets say that you are a farmer that wants to buy something that will get your job done and you ask him to find it for you.” That being said, we went through the process of getting me a sprayer for my property to put chemicals down.
