Personal Motivation For The Hacu National Internship Program

Trying to achieve your dreams and reach your full potential in a town that has little to no guidance for youth, especially African American men, is a daunting task. Too often, young men from my hometown are given limited options for their future. The education system made us feel as if we were only created to work in trade career fields, or sign our lives away for four to six years to the various branches of the United States Military. College was a luxury that many, including myself, thought would never be an option.

I really think that I am very qualified for National Junior Honor Society. I have seen students of NJHS making things for the community and I always join or support them because I think that helping others is a need, not an option. I like helping people, I like taking leadership and I would like to encourage others to change the world, that’s why I think that I am eligible for NJHS.

I became interested in the STEM camp because I believe this camp will benefit me an enormous deal in the future. Attending the camp will support my future academic goals. In college, I intend to specialize in science, math, and technology. The STEM camp will help develop my educational interests and provide a glimpse into what I can expect from studying the areas of math, science and technology and engineering. I know that my future career will involve knowledge in these subjects and I want to do everything possible to allow myself to be exposed to whatever educational opportunities that can help me develop these skills. I would also like to have an experience at UTRGV because it is one of my possible college choices at this

An overall consensus based on this survey was that Latinos would have greater opportunity when educational and job-related obstacles were overcome thereby enabling this significant and increasing segment of the population to be supported and welcomed to be a full-fledged actor in every facet of life in the United States. The survey indicated that barriers to such opportunities frequently were conditioned on available social and economic resources, whether one is male or female, and the length of residency in this country. This survey constituted the second one conducted by the foundation to gain greater insights into the effects a slow economy, public policy decisions, and illegal offenses were imposing on the lives of minority families in various communities around the

I came to the United States as an international student on a student visa. Working with various student organizations as the president of Nicholls International Community, I have become more comfortable with working with those of all races. After graduation, I worked professionally for four years where I met people from all walks of life. During this times, I learned advanced techniques of performing whole genome and exome sequencing, trained other employees, coordinated projects and managed meetings. Additionally, I learned to manage work conflicts and become a strong leader through proper communication. These experiences have taught me to never stop working hard. Experiencing being part of the community in Nepal to New Orleans and to New York City has really broadened my view on the world. I will be able to share these experience and skills with the diverse student body of

If I receive a college education, I will inspire others in the Hispanic community to do so themselves. Education is a ripple effect, a ripple effect of success. By receiving a college education, I will help eliminate the stereotype that Hispanics are not educated. I will not be another statistic. I will serve as a symbol of progress. I will prove myself as a young independent and determined woman. I will be able to help others grow. I will be able to give back to my community. By gaining a college education myself, I can plant seeds in others and watch them grow and blossom into inspirations themselves. A college education will also help me in my profession of education. I will be able to teach children basic skills such as math and reading but also small life lessons each day like the power of kindness. A college education will help me help foster a young generation that will change this world for the better, as I strive to do

America possesses the necessary requirements for a country of well establishment, but there is always room for improvement. Each year, America attracts foreign citizens that lack the academic qualifications to climb the up the industrial hierarchy; this lack of education only enhances the need for more intellectual individuals. As a minority, I will proceed to better America by becoming a determined and educated African American female. The desire to improve our surroundings through innovative ideas and inspiration is there; however, people lack the drive to make these dreams happen. America needs more determined citizens, who see that this country has endless possibilities that need to be take advantage of. Through education, people can better

Despite their better standing, the research has surprisingly found that they are “only slightly more likely than those whose parents were first-generation immigrants to have had some education beyond high school or to report household or personal incomes above $25,000” (28). These differences in educational and occupational attainment may be attributed to the overcrowded, underfunded inner-city schools second and third generation Latinos attend or to the fact that young Latinos feel economic pressure to drop out of school to get a job and financially assist their families; thus, keeping them in lower occupational ranks since the well-paid professional positions require a higher educational standard. These results are a bit disheartening, but nonetheless, the educational attainment of Latinos is still in a positive trend since we are seeing a slow, yet gradual increase of educational attainment.

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

I’m interested in attending USNA Summer STEM because I have a strong interest in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. I plan on attending the United States Naval Academy and graduate as a Nuclear Reactor Engineer and serve my country for life. I have made strong connections with the staff at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and want to make great connections with the staff, cadets, and shipmates I’d be working alongside with at the academy. I hope to serve my country with Honor, Courage, and Commitment in the STEM field of the U.S. Navy.

The Hispanic population is increasing at rapid rates, thus providing many opportunities to improve the economy and local hispanic communities. However, with the sufficient low rate of hispanic graduates from college our economy are being damaged and hispanic communities are being denied the proper evolution to get out of poverty. Our hispanic youth need to start taking more action into getting a higher education, to help our economy and communities evolve and better themselves. Being a young hispanic, I’ve seen both sides of the rich and poor. Those who mainly live in poverty are those whom don’t have a high education with them. This matters to me because I 've heard and witnessed of all sorrow and suffering poverty brings. Also, it hurts to see we have got such a powerful way of making actual change but we get held back because people think education is too hard, expensive, and a waste of time. If more of our hispanic youth had a higher graduation rate from college then our economy and local hispanic communities would be improved.

Imagine a world where whites weren’t offered education. Not just the world, imagine instead if whites here in America, weren’t given access to quality education. The visionary and ethical leader this paper will discuss broke the barrier to quality education for the Latino Community.

The National Urban League mission grows out of a necessity in our country because too often Blacks have not been given the proper resources that can help them succeed. My diverse skillset as a leader, communicator, researcher, and writer can continue to help the organization live out its mission, which is more important than ever given the current indifference of African-Americans most pressing concerns. In fact, I enjoy using the jack-of-all-trades card. As a former member of the student government association, I am aware of the importance of researching initiatives and implementing them. Moreover, your emphasis of “empowering communities” is also consistent with the type of work I have done as a senator as I looked to empower students with creating positive change.

My first-year placement was in Case Management/Discharge Planning at a for profit hospital, Johnston Willis. What was I going to learn? How would theories learned in class translate almost exclusively to discharge planning? Wasn’t that just getting people out of the hospital and no proper clinical therapy would be involved? I felt the theories I was learning were for individual or group therapies, not for “treating and streeting”. How was I going to learn anything clinical or help therapeutically with patients? How would I serve patients will while being pressured from administration to make sure length of stay would remain low thus maximizing profits? Well, I was in for a great awakening.
