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.

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

Lee University’ mission in scholastic curriculums is, “to develop within the students’ knowledge, appreciation, understanding, ability, and skills which will prepare them for responsible Christian living in a complex world.” In implementation, the practice of ethical action, redemptive service and responsible citizenship within the church, local community, and globally, are emphasized. As an older student at Lee University, I admit that these values were heavily communicated to me, by my mother, from an early age. After high school, I did not pursue a vocation and worked in a factory in Alabama for a couple of years. It was during this time, that I realized, that God wanted more out of and for me. I returned home to Tennessee, and by

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

If I were to choose an intended audience to target, my choice would be adolescents currently attending high school. High school students in this day and age have their plates full to the brim. With all the classes they are required to take, the pile of homework they’re assigned each night, and the extracurricular activities they’ve signed up for, it’s no wonder that they don’t have much time to think about the future. Despite having full schedules, I believe that a modern home economics, or life skills class, would be worth freeing up time for. My plan would be to create an impactful video and several different flyers to promote my idea and maximize its reach. The video would be distributed through social media platforms such as Facebook,

“Creative” is definitely an adjective that has been used by others to describe me and my aspirations. At the ripe age of five, I began to take an interest in the visual arts. This interest started with Play-Doh and Legos, then moved to drawing, crafting, sewing, ceramics, and then painting. Every day my mom would find me on my bedroom floor—in deep concentration—working on a new art project. She would simply smile and leave the room to wait patiently until I was finished with my new masterpiece. Each year, my talent increased and every art teacher I had could see something special in me. However, I always thought that my art projects were nothing special and just a result of my self-expression. It was not until I entered high school and was

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.

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 was born in a military hospital in Wurzburg, Germany. My father was a captain in the U.S. Army and my mother was a homemaker. I spent the first several years of my life living on an American military base, and attending German schools. My brother and I had many friends both native to Germany, and from the U.S. My father was often deployed; so many times it was just the three of us. My mother was very active in our lives, teaching us to ride bikes, taking us to school plays, and reading to us at night.

Now I’ve started a new life, I will not feel small or follow others steps. Each people in this world is different I just need to find what really suits me. Other people may become a doctor, a teacher, a scientist, or a lawyer. But I’m happy just as a hotelier and chef to be, I made people happy with my service and my food. I will become someone with my own way and I want to encourage people out there. That you don’t need to feel small just because you cannot reach the standard society has made, embrace yourself find what will made you someone in the future, no matter how long it takes for you to realize. What important is your own happiness and don’t regret anything in the

As a University of Delaware student, I am constantly learning about myself and my subjects each and every day. As a strong believer in the power of education, I also believe that many valuable lessons derive from out of classroom experiences. This has encouraged me to apply to this study abroad program, so that I can apply these lessons to new experiences. From my experiences, I have learned a little more about myself and how to bring these skills to new experiences, which will serve as great assets as I continue my education abroad.

The obvious element that adds to my identity is I am a female. Others see this is by my long hair, voice, and makeup. I’ve considered it could also be obvious that I deal with anxiety. I tend to exhibit a lot of anxious actions and I assume it’s fairly easy for people to see.
