Perry Preschool Project Analysis

I plan to seize this immense educational opportunity with intellectual curiosity and maintain a high grade point average as I have done throughout the four years of my high school education of numerous honor courses in order to attain the knowledge to implement an organization to provide a positive learning environment for young children with special emotional, educational and financial needs. Using the knowledge I earn from a college degree, I plan to create a positive

Through experiencing social injustices, and making myself more culturally aware of inequality amongst social classes, I believe I have cultivated the leadership skills necessary for success. My willingness to reach out to the environment beyond me has exposed me to a career path that excites me and is my true passion. I plan to take action to improve the lives of the defenseless and those who are politically and socially disadvantaged. Through utilizing what I have learned by dedicating my time to service I know that I will truly make an impact on the lives of the helpless. During my years attending university I plan to continue a rigorous course load focused on a career path that truly intrigues me. I also plan on continuing to dedicate my free time to service and philanthropy. Overall, I have dedicated my high school career to becoming a leader in and out of the classroom. I hope that by attending University of Texas-Austin I will be able to utilize the resources provided to become a leader prepared to make worldwide change, continue on a path of academic achievement, and create a successful future not only for myself, but for those in generations to come as

The passion of education that my parents instilled as well as my cultural values drive me to pursue a Ph.D. I want to be able to give back to my community; I hope to fulfill this by conducting research in underrepresented populations, like the Latino population.

Upon review of your website, I was delighted to see the success you have had in preparing students to attend college. I was also impressed with the progress you’ve made in closing the achievement gap. I wish to help you to continue to achieve amazing results and see no better way to do so than through employment with you. My commitment to urban education is evident though my educational decisions (pursued a B.A. in Mathematics and M.S.Ed in secondary education) and experience working as a math teacher at La Granja School, a math tutor at Roberts Wesleyan College and as a student teacher at La Salle School.

Wayne's M.S.W. graduate students undertake the task of improving, spreading, analyzing, and utilizing the information learned through courses and field work to better the lives of disadvantaged individuals, families, and communities. Through hands-on experience within vulnerable, oppressed, and poor societies, they develop social welfare policy for urban communities. By committing to an intense graduate program, I expect to broaden my skill set and expand my ability to assist those in need. My leadership skills have found me, time and time again, standing up for the rights of the underprivileged groups. I am creative and can often think of out-of-the-book solutions to social problems.

I will educate younger African American children, becoming a mouth piece and passing on what I learned from the conference. This will in turn influence and inspire my peers to strive for greatness. In conclusion, my mission is to provide a message of fortitude to young African American children. I will to create an environment that exposes African American youth to the problems that we face today. I have the hopes of inspiring and motivating youth you reach their greatest potential and take part in things that may seem unfathomable and beyond their greatest imagination if they work hard for

Joining the HLLC Community will be a dream come through because it will give me the opportunity to achieve my dreams while pursuing my education. I would utilize the HLLC Community to address a social issue that I am very passionate about. Through HLLC, I would use community service, networking, voluntary services, etc. to bring awareness to the high cost of education in the country. I am fervid about education because with education, one can be able to elevate themselves. Everyone, irrespective of who they are should have access to any form of education. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The high cost of education today is disheartening. The amount of college dropout has increased. Certain societal issues such as unemployment, depression,

The first organization that was brought to my attention is Al’s Pals. I love the impact you can make on children's lives. It doesn’t matter if you are a mentor or helping them with their work, you will be that positive impact and influence in that child's life. All I have ever wanted to do is to be a positive influence and impact the lives of children. I hope that I get the opportunity to join Al’s Pals and have an impact on the Tuscaloosa community.

I hope to be granted and pursue the Education Studies Minor here at Gettysburg College for a handful of reason. Currently, I am a Political Studies major with a concentration in comparative politics and International Relations. While I not only enjoy the Political Science field, I have always had the rooted interest in the education field for many years now. Dating back to senior year of High School, one of the courses I took was a course called “Teachers for Tomorrow” which touched upon the basics of becoming a teaching both in a lecture and in classroom setting. Part of the course was a weekly visit to a local public elementary school in which I was able to work alongside a second grade teacher as her “teacher assistant”. I not only enjoyed this experience with the elementary students, but the class as a whole as well. Additionally, this past summer, I spend four weeks overseas at Arlington Academy of Hope, an elementary school located in the village of Bududa, in eastern Uganda. While at Arlington Academy of Hope, I worked alongside current Arlington County teachers as well as current Arlington County Principles, teaching these elementary students basic math and English, while also visiting satellite schools in the greater Bududa region. I was not only the youngest member of this trip by more than 20

I have a strong desire to work with the Migrant Leadership Institute for various reasons. The opportunity to participate during the Migrant Leadership Institute would be monumental. I believe that it’s important to assist populations that are underrepresented and it’s important to inspire these students to attain the next step in their journey towards advancing their education. As a child of parents who were involved in seasonal migrant work I know the impact that mentorship and programs like the Migrant Leadership Institute has on these students. Being able to assist high school students that may not otherwise see college as an attainable goal, would be truly gratifying. Instilling passion within others to pursue higher education and serving

I believe that your program will provide me with very vital and important skills that I can implement into my future career in social

I would love to continue working in an environment that provides resources to families who need affordable housing. Coming from a low-income family and having immigrant parents has made me a woman who appreciates the little things and is passionate about justice. After this internship ends, my goal is to utilize the training and experience I acquired to continue advocating for those who feel that their voice isn’t heard and creating justice for these families. Being who I am and knowing where I come from, I wish to make a change in the lives of those who come from low-income families, and ethnically diverse communities. The training and experience with the Rural West Internship Program will empower a woman who is determined to help her people, to help a community that is desperately in need, and a community that struggles everyday not knowing where they will live or how they will pay rent. I believe that every family deserves to have a roof over their head, and that no child should worry about where they will sleep or if they will even go to school the next day. I especially want to make a difference in low income families who come from diverse backgrounds and who have will little opportunities to succeed because of the injustices in today’s

I am the child of a teenage single parent and low-income household, the first in my family to attend college and graduate. Compared to my peers my academic background may not be equivalent, however, I make up for that academic shortfall with real world experience. I payed my way through college with a full-time job, while being a full-time student. Having to start from scratch twice helped builded character. I bring not only my academic skill set, but, also knowledge of what it is like being on the receiving end of public aid. I am the product of someone else humanitarian aid, which allows me to be able to relate and empathize on a personal level. With being from a low-income household I have been on the receiving end of outreach programs,

The agency where I am interning is Partnership with Children. “Partnership” as it is called, works to strengthen the emotional, social and academic skills of at-risk children to prepare them for success--academically, socially, and in life. “Partnership’s” programs aim to bridge the gap between those who have a vested interest in working within New York City’s highest-need public schools, and those in need. “Partnership’s” goal is to transform the overall culture of many of the city’s struggling schools by helping students cope with the extreme stress of living in poverty. Helping students thrive in safe and supportive schools that encourage

As a low-income student myself, I feel as it is my duty to give back to my community and inspire other students to reach success. Thus said, I plan on creating my own organization that will provide similar youth with access to resources that will help shape their future. I envision the organization offering college preparation information, career advice, health information sessions, and leadership workshops. With these aspects, I believe I will be able to help guide students onto a path of excellence, despite their social economic statuses.
