Nasa's Curiosity Mars Rover Video Analysis

I share my story to demonstrate my commitment to be more and to do more.

Similar to many young people, I dreamed of leaving town and creating a big name for myself. After venturing through undergraduate and graduate school, I gained my first real job at

While I have been blessed with many opportunities that helped me grow by pushing me to new limits, my volunteer work at South McKeel Academy through National Honor Society is my most memorable. The way I was brought upon this experience was not with the average vote. One morning I showed up to the 7 A.M. meeting ready to hear about how all

This empathy and my awareness of injustice continued to grow over time. I fell in love with service work and continued to go on mission trips each year until I graduated High School. To me, it was what gave my life meaning. While I concede my input for a few weeks every summer would only temporarily treat the symptoms of the population rather than solve the problem, the experience would drive me to pursue a career where I could truly make a difference. I had come to realize that had I been born a different race, ethnicity, or in a different location, my experience would be vastly different. Because of this, I was interested in the people; I wanted to learn who they were, what had made them that way, and where they saw themselves going. I enjoyed working with children the most. They are the ones who still have hope, who have dreams, who do not realize

It was a feeling like I had accomplished everything I have ever wanted to do and some more.

I have now become more aware of my actions and am currently President of my school's Go Green Club. I have now become environmentally conscious of my habits and work towards spreading this. This experience has helped me realize how important it is to give back to the community and take care of the land. My career goal is to help others although my life goal is to become involved in more activities that strengthen me as an individual such as this experience

When volunteering for Trinitas hospital, it gave me a role to be in charge of equipments in the operating room. The motivation I had to lead other members during this experience, impacted our community. Leaders need wisdom and self-confidence to affect change in all aspects of their lives. I gave them motivation to do this as a team. It was the best feeling to help others do their best.

With each experience, I have particular expectations; however, it is what I do not expect and cannot see which drives me to serve others and continue my journey. Last summer I spent a great deal of time at the LUMC campus, and while most of my time was spent in a lab, I did venture out, particularly to Hines V.A. Hospital. Being back at Hines brought back memories from when my grandfather was an extended stay patient. I had a realization that many veterans, with the exception of those that make it to the movie screen, can be so underappreciated. This group of men and women are shinning examples of selfless individuals. I developed a desire to give back to our nation’s heroes and became involved with a program through the Disabled American Veterans

Sarah, Your Story Part 1 Video was intriguing and your overall theme centered on independence and tenacity. Sarah described her experience growing up home school, and how her experience prepared her to become successful in college. Sarah had trouble in Math, just like many people, but her troubles did not prevent her from passing her class; therefore, Sarah’s perseverance in math was an example of tenacity. Also, Sarah described in detail how her love of books originated. She read books that was on the state of New Mexico’s banned reading list; so, Sarah asserted her independence. Another example of her tenacity is when Sarah started a job as a temporary employee in San Diego, and through hard work and determination Sarah now is a permanent

Experiences in service offer more opportunities to be taught than for your deeds to make an impact. These experiences have established and strengthened the fundamental moral principles that I live my life by. Throughout my education, they have been challenged and developed by academics, missions, and cultural experiences. Education can only carry one so far if it’s lessons are not implemented in service to this world. Through fostering a love of people and the world, I have found that learning sparks curiosity, curiosity kindles exploration, exploration illuminates discovery, and discovery ignites

To be part of the IRUSA (SPELL OUT IRUSA) organization it has taught and made me more conscious about those who are suffering. An event that IRUSA helped organize for Syrian Refugees around 2016 gave me an immense chance to offer my service for the refugees. I was introduced to a famous Syrian Poet who revealed the trouble his family had gone through. However, my overall goal was to revitalize humanitarian response and aid as much as possible.

I have never felt so strong and motivated about something, I knew no matter what the outcome may be I was going to have to do absolutely anything I could to help contribute. If I needed to I was going door to door handing out brochures for the next few years, go to every meeting they had to support and give my beliefs about it

It’s 5 o’clock in the afternoon, and I find myself having that, “feeling” before something big; It happened to be a student council interview. When I walked in the room, I kept reminding myself about how I got to this moment, but most importantly why I lead:

I have given a great deal of thought to the next leg of my academic and career journey. As I reflect on the road I've taken to get this far, I realize that I have not only learned a lot there were many late night papers, team projects and plenty of reading I have also grown a great deal on a personal level. I think that the best part of reaching this juncture is the realization that I set a goal and achieved it. It is a good feeling of personal triumph. I know that once my degree is officially completed and conferred it will be an accomplishment that can never be taken away.

I get to share my passions with children and inspire them to pursue careers in STEM. I currently tutor math students at a Title I school to prepare for the Milestone exam. In addition, I volunteer and serve meals with my family at a local men’s recovery center, the Extension. Through the activities I lead and serve in, I’ve cultivated an appreciation for those in my community and learned to apply my ethic to help others. My determination to learn and serve will guide to me towards a future involvement and success in college and as I obtain my career
