Personal Application Essay Examples

I was pleasantly surprised when I received my letter informing me that I was eligible to be part of the NJHS. Once I looked it over and saw that there was an essay part of the application, I thought it would be difficult to “brag” about myself considering I’m just a normal twelve year old who likes to sing, swim, and ride horses. While I was thinking about what I do to be an active part of the student body of Schindewolf Intermediate, it became a little less difficult to picture.

On July 6, 1999 a future Clemson Tiger was born, me. As the son of two Clemson alumni, it has been the overall goal of my life to attend the beloved Clemson University and follow my parents’ legacy. Experiencing football and baseball games, caressing Howard’s Rock, and making many everlasting memories has enticed me since I was a young boy. I have considered the university to be my number one choice when picking my future college since the first time I stepped foot on the campus. Knowing that I was initially not accepted into the undergraduate program urges me to prove myself and show the staff of Clemson all that I can bring to better further the reputation of the university. I have worked extremely hard to get to where I am today, but all I can do is get better and I will do whatever it takes to help guarantee my success as a student at Clemson University. I intend to live on campus to help ensure exemplary grades, attend all classes whether attendance is mandatory or optional, and lastly, I have an strong and supportive family of successful alumni to push me to be a prosperous student. My family deeply believes in a Clemson education over another because it has enabled them to be successful in the business world and obtain the high ranking positions in their companies that they possess today. Their success with their Clemson degrees inspire me to obtaining the cherished honor of a Clemson graduate and grow the highly respected reputation of a

I am writing to express my interest in the biology teaching position at Bard High School Early College (BHSEC). I am currently holding a New York City initial certification in adolescent biology education as well as a Master degree in Biology. I have experience teaching at a high school as well as a college level. I believe that my experience and qualification is a great fit for this position.

Knees weak from climbing a flight of stairs or the anticipation of meeting Brian, I walked into his office announcing my presence with a raspy, delayed voice. Upon flinging open the door, his face lifted of his desk and stared at me with a distant expression. My first take of Brian caught me off guard, with his apple red mohawk, wearing his branded castle racing jacket and pants. Looking at his appearance you just knew he was into racing. After building up the confidence to murmur good morning we left his office to his own personal race track he made at his house. “There is more to just sitting down on a vehicle and holding down the throttle. If it was that easy everyone would do it.” For Brian racing has come at a cost and has been through adversity on and off the track.

In many moments of my life I have felt small. Even within my brazen fantasies of changing the world I would often snicker and ask myself, "Who are you to be able to do such things? You are only one little person!" It was with this feeling of doubt that I headed to Girls State in the summer after my junior year.

I would be a great candidate for an officer of NJHS because I know how to stay organized and on task, I can communicate my ideas to others effectively, and I have great leadership skills. For example, in 6th grade, my friends and I volunteered during an 8th grade lunch hour to sell lemonade for a charity called Alex’s Lemonade Stand, which is a foundation for childhood cancer. Even though the 8th graders were extremely loud and distracting, and often tried to get lemonade for free, my friends and I stayed on task. As a result, we sold so much lemonade that we ended up having to refill the 5-gallon tank of lemonade before the lunch hour was over. Had we not been able to stay focused on selling lemonade, we could have easily forgotten orders

Embedded in my psyche as a child was the fact that college was my only option after high school. This parental sentiment was synonymous with a phrase as simple as “tie your shoes.” For me, high school graduation would be a standard occurrence, but my college graduation would be celebrated. The college I would attend required thoughtful consideration because it will be my rite of passage. When I dreamt of my intended college, I knew it would be set in a beautiful city, bustling with energy, and full of consciously creative people. I didn’t know if my university campus would be urban or suburban, but I knew it would spark excitement, fulfill my need to connect with a global community, and offer several opportunities to propel me to the top of

Growing up, I did not really understand the importance of education. It was only until high school did I begin to realize that education would determine my future. As I realized my passion for medicine, I realized the immense amount of studying that I would need to do. I had not really studied in the past but I finally began to focus heavily on my studies in high school. As I learn more and more I realize that I have been generally oblivious to how certain subjects guide the world that humans know.

On May 27, 2011, I sat in the crowd of thousands of people waiting to see the cheer from the football field. No, this wasn’t a professional football game, or even a college game. This was the graduation and commissioning of 1000 men and women from the United States Naval Academy. As the covers of all the former midshipmen went into the air, and the crowd went wild, I stood in awe, speechless. Even as an 11 year old boy, I knew that I wanted to be that young man standing on the ten yard line, in an immaculate white uniform, jumping up and down and hugging his buddy next to him. As I read stories and biographies of men like Marcus Luttrell and Chris Kyle, some of the most courageous men in the world, I realized my calling in life. I was to be an officer in the United States Navy.

A variety of texts and articles over the past few years have argued for the use of an alternative approach to teaching organizational behavior, one that emphasizes experiential learning. This approach "emphasizes an existential, emergent view for learning organizational behavior" (McMullen, 1979), where the role of the instructor is that of learning facilitator, responsible for designing experiences for students to base learning upon, rather than as teacher, responsible for lecturing on theory and concepts. While gaining wide acceptance, this approach has nevertheless created problems in the assessment of students' performance. Significant learnings in this model of teaching occur not only

In Argentinian culture, soccer (football) is not only a sport, but a common passion that supports social gathering and interconnectedness amongst people from different backgrounds. Due to this, and the enjoyment this sport gives me, I have played competitive soccer my whole life. I worked tirelessly over many years and eventually, my hard work was acknowledged when I was scouted to be a trialist for the new professional soccer team, FC Edmonton. I knew this was my chance to finally make not only myself happy, but my parents proud. They sacrificed their hard-earned money, down time, and personal hobbies for my soccer endeavours.

Endless possibility through an unrestricted array of enriching knowledge, critical inquiry and application skills is personally one of the most valuable aspects which have driven me to succeed academically in the realm of arts and sciences. From the emergence of the literary masterpieces of Mark Twain to the critical examination of the American and international political arena, I excel best in this realm in terms of grades and application to such subject topics. I can attest that the examinations and challenges in such classes have established within me a drive for excellence and the capability to apply my knowledge to the world around me. Personally, I excel, however (continuously improving upon) leadership skills. Through my community and my school, I am driven to make a
