Personal Statement: A Self Analysis

Whenever the term legacy is invoked in conversation it elicits many different responses. What is it that makes a person have a legacy that will endure long after he or she has breathed their last breath? In my judgement there are several factors that enable a person to have a long lasting impact on others. There are several key attributes that I feel contribute in the greatest manner of developing a person into who they are and into the professional and the leader they were destined to become. As I take an in-depth view of myself and evaluate the abilities that I possess, there are areas I must identify to improve upon whether strengths or weaknesses. The strengths are my endurance, compassion, and leadership,

Hmmm………What shall I tell you about me? You, the person who will decide my fate, my fate as to whether I would go to CU-Boulder, go live in Colorado, go snowboarding in the mountains, meet lots of interesting people, and have the most wonderful experience…I better make myself sound worthy. First off, I want you to know that I'm an unparalleled individual, whose outlook on life is of total optimism. Through out my 18 years, I've become freinds with people from all walks of life. I've learned to empathize with just about every one of them, gaining the greatest understanding in a variety of remarkable characters. One of my favorite, a homeless lady who's called Polly, tells the most incredible stories of love and the many

I am a motivated finance and management professional that is eager to acquire additional knowledge and experience. My self-determination and fortitude has made me an asset to my organization. My finance skills include the ability to accurately formulate budgets, analyze trends, and effectively track sales. In a management setting, I am experienced in creating marketing plans, building relationships with clients, and supervising a moderately sized staff. I am often acknowledged for taking the unconventional route in management. Co-workers and supervisors recognize my extensive attention to detail, while being accessible at all times. In addition, I excel at troubleshooting and adapting to change in a dynamic industry. Furthermore, I approach

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

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

I have been a communications officer in FCR for 8yrs, I was also a special constable for 7yrs, during my time as a comms officer I have progressed through call taking and dispatching. Last year I was successfully promoted to scale 5 and have been working as a senior comms officer since that time.

I have completely rewritten the health and safety book to bring it up to date, I have

Unfortunately, my family cannot afford to pay for my education,However I plan to continue applying for financial assistance online , work part time, whether it's delivering pizza,helping clean up around the gym,or doing local yard work, also maintain a good academic standards, although I haven't had the best of grades years past,slowly but surely I will get on the right track. It is my hope to receive a sports scholarship playing football and hopefully getting accepted into EIU,within time it would benefit me greatly.

I grew up in modest circumstances in a community rich with diversity. My father, a lifelong bus driver, is the person for whom I credit for my early obsession with public transportation. He and my mother earned their GEDs late in life, and I was the first person in my extended family to graduate from college.

I am not a professional writer, but I am a writer with sufficient imagination and positive attitudes. Through last two-semester-writing training, I understand the basic requirements of academic writing, such as the format, the citation and so forth. However, there is still an extensive space for me to improve my skills in both reading and writing. As a reader, I enjoy appreciating masterpieces and I am good at thinking through reading, but sometimes either cultural shock or linguistic barriers limit my reading speed and reduce my interests.

I started my career in an unorthodox way: delivering science and technology news directly to

Over the past summer, as well as the past 5 summers, I have worked at a place called Camp Vineyard. It is a fantastic summer camp run out of the Vineyard Chattanooga church where they bring in kids from over 20 different churches across the southeast and give them a place where they can experience God in a traditional overnight summer camp way. From the many fun activities such as the ridiculous games such as giant multi-ball soccer to the neat groups, which allow kids to build rockets and shoot them into the air and archery, there is never a dull moment throughout the day. In both the mornings and the evenings we have sessions where kids learn from a couple different speakers and have a time of worship. Finally, one night every week we also have a ministry where in the past kids have learned how to pray for others, sought both physical and spiritual healing, and have been spoken to by the other kids around them. It truly is quite an experience to see over 400 kids from 6th grade to 12th grade praying for each other and speaking into their lives who some have been changed forever because of this.

My results after taking the o*net interest profile test I have found that my results lead to artistic, social and enterprising as my highest ones. When I read all three of them I mostly agree with the artistic and social portions. I've always had a big passion for art, when it comes to making something boring too great i find alot of intrest. When I think about doing anything art related I think about doing it as a side job, I don't think I would like it much as an everyday thing.

Ever since I was young and herd about the mission trips at my church, I have had the constant desire to take part of at least one. I am very blessed to have gone on three mission trips so far, one each summer for the past three years. The summers before I entered my freshman and sophomore years, I was able to serve with an organization called Appalachia Service Project (ASP), whose statement is to “make homes warmer, safer and dryer.” I worked on homes and with families in Tennessee as well as West Virginia. Through giving my time to help give Sherri, an elderly woman, a deck to safely exit her mobile home, as well as repairing Mary and Allan’s rotted siding, I learned many home improvement skills that will be useful for me in the future.

When defining myself, I took the Myers Briggs personality test online and the results were that I am an INFJ (The Advocate). From past experiences in my opinion my strengths are that I have a very strong work ethic, which I believe I inherited from my dad. Also I feel I am a very organized person when it comes to certain things. For example, I get very upset when a pen is not in a certain place on my desk. I feel most of my success from school comes from being organized and on top of my studies by managing my time efficiently. My last strength that I feel is unique is my everlasting patience with people. This trait of patience has developed over time because I grew up with a little brother that was diagnosed with autism at an early age and

Ever since sophomore year in high school, I have always wanted to pursue the construction industry. A big reason why I became interested was when I went to Try-A-Trade, which is a program where New Market puts on to try to get people interested into high-paying trade jobs. In 10th grade I talked to a man who was volunteering at Try-A-Trade, He explained to me that there is an apprenticeship program that will teach for free and even better pay you while you getting 4000 hours of training. So then I choose to take up the New Market class, Construction Trades. The man who runs the class, Adam Shell, has been the biggest influence on me in the decision of what I am going to be doing when I finally get out of high school. I have had many conversations
