Open Year Personal Statement

After attending the info session for Year Up, and looking over the website for more details, I am very pleased with this program. It seems like a perfect fit for a college student like myself to help enhance my dreams of becoming an accountant. Year Up can definitely move me up to a higher level in life. I know for a fact I will be a perfect fit for Year Up because I am a determined and motivated individual. I work hard inside and outside classrooms to conquer anything that I desire, no matter what it takes. Also, when it comes to the Year Up program, I am willing to put forth that same effort.

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.

With given a choice of what to write this paper, I could not get past the subtle nature of who we are as God’s creations. This fundamental truth of our identity is simplified with the truth of our identity in Jesus. We are created in God’s image with a purpose here on earth to display all of God’s greatness, His beauty, and to reveal all of His character aspects. Best of all, we are completely dependent on God. This new enlightenment of my identity in Christ as God’s creation will allow me to help people around the world become one with Christ by revealing the truth of their identity.

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

My placement year was one of the best things I have done during my time at university. Having the opportunity to gain valuable experience in an office has given me more opportunities than most when leaving university. I learnt a lot about myself and gained many skills that will be a key to success in the future.

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

The personal statement is very important to applicants who intend to be admitted to an undergraduate or graduate school. The role of a personal statement is to make applicants be different from other applicants. It mainly serves the purposes of persuading the admission committee of applicants’ great passion for the study field, explaining their experience that shaped their personality, demonstrating their longtime desire and commitment for the degree, and showing their life goals. What the admission committee is looking for in a personal statement varies from school to school, major to major. Art and Design is a unique program requiring its prospective students to be different in every aspect. The Art and Design Admission Committee is looking for a student who has creative potential in all respects. Hence, for those who want to apply to the School of Art and Design, they should understand how to present their stories, experiences, practice, goals, philosophy, inspirations, and aspirations in a creative way.

In my upcoming high school years I hope to try new things and push my comfort zone, strengthen my academic abilities, and make new friends, as well as strengthen my existing friendships. I look forward to attending Villa Maria Academy next year for high school. I am excited for all the new high school experiences, from the increased responsibility to the new freedoms gained. I would also like to attend Villa because I value my faith. Villa Maria Academy, founded in the same tradition of the IHM sisters that I experienced at Lower Villa, can help me to maintain my strong relationship with God.

I was born the fourth of December 1991 in Cranbrook British Columbia. I lived there for 18 years. Before joining the military I worked as a fry cook at a Burger King for three years and held part time jobs working for the College of the Rockies summer camp programs during the summer. My parents are currently living together in Cranbrook BC. My father works outside the province testing railway tracks for two months at a time, then returns home for two to three weeks. My mother acts as the main contact point of the family, she works as a financial clerk. I have a 22 year old sister who will be attending university in Calgary this September. I attended Mount Baker Secondary School in Cranbrook and graduated in 2009

The transition from high school to college is a notoriously daunting experience for students entering, arguably, the most important years in their lives. Everything that a student has come to know about academics, for the most part, are to be radically challenged. Many different factors go into the change, and any particular one can be enough to overwhelm any given student into becoming an emotional wreck. Whether it be living on one's own for the first time, drastic schedule changes, or becoming socially involved, these responsibilities are just three examples, among the seeming hundreds. However, a perfect balance between these responsibilities is a major key in not allowing the stressors to take one captive.

Thank you for this assessment, but has you know this was the year end assessment on how you did with the goals set out during the year. Your self assessment is missing a review of your team’s performance compared to the goals set out. It is also missing the level of professionalism I expect from all members of my team. I have also asked for new goals for 2017 and I did not receive them.

I graduated from UC Berkeley and majored in Political Economy. I am currently pursuing a Master of Professional Accountancy (MPAc) degree in The Paul Merage School of Business at UC Irvine.

Five years from now I will be a senior. I will most likely be stressing out about what college I will go to and if they will accept me. I will also likely be in Student Council, National Honor Society, Builder’s Club, and any other club that I may enjoy doing and that may be helping me with college. I will be in college classes and band. I will be preparing for college, and I will be preparing for my exams.

I have been interested in health and wellness for quite a while. I would like to live in this community because I am seeking new opportunities to better myself. I believe living in a community with people who are interested in health and wellness as well, will help me towards my goal of becoming a more active person. Living in the health and wellness LLC I hope to learn how I can fit being active and healthy into a busy and stressful schedule, ultimately resulting in a healthier more active

I am very hard-working and reliable. I work well under pressure achieving a high standard of work. I have practical and organisational skills and I can find solutions to problems and face challenges confidently.
