Personal Statement: Active

I have made a contribution to the AVID program by spreading all the wonderful things AVID teaches you to my friends and relatives also how it can change your life positively. I have spoken with many friends as to why they should be considering the AVID program in high school in order for them to gain knowledge and learn important college factors so that when they move on they won’t have a difficult time in college. This contribution may not seem as much but I have also tried my hardest to earn a good grade for all the years that I have been taken AVID not only for a grade in the class but for others to see what I have learned throughout all the years that I have been in AVID program and what it can do to improve high school students who want to attend college and become successful trying to reach their goals and dreams.

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

I am a friendly and respectful person and enjoy interacting with new people. I believe that a good customer service is essential in competitive industries, like retail and I am devote to working within a team successfully. I have a proven high level of creativity, initiative and enjoy a new challenges in my way.

Currently, I am employed with Covenant House Florida as a Life Skills case manager. My responsibilities include assisting youth developing vocational, educational opportunities through resume building proper interview and job searching techniques. Also, I challenge the

My strengths are being organized, friendly, and capable to train other people. I have worked in retail companies for more than ten years and tutor for almost four years. I have proved my passion to deliver excellent customer service and my ability to be a good communicator. My abilities of being responsible, flexible, and adaptable put me in an assistant manager position in Kmart and Fresh

I am responsible and turn my work in on time. I study and give my all to my school work. I try my hardest to maintain superior grades while living a busy life. I aspire to make a difference in my future and in order to do so I have to give school my all.

I want to work at camp because I would like to give back. I have attended MFU camp for the past 11 years and I want to give back to MFU and the experience that I had during my years at camp. I would like to make an impact on kids’ lives and help create amazing memories, just like how previous councilors have done for me. I want to help change kids’ lives and give them a week that they will not forget.

During the summer, I am a Basketball Camp Coordinate at the YMCA for children who are in Kindergarten to 8th grade. For the camp, I am in charge of how the day goes with certain goals from my boss. (Also, I assist with Lacrosse and sometimes Day Camps)

I am a diligent person, I tend to give all my work my 100% and try to perfect everything that I do. Whether it be school work, chores, or volunteer work, I try to complete the work on time and to the best of my ability.

I believe the experiences I have had throughout my childhood and now as a young adult would make me a great camp counselor. I have always enjoyed the outdoors. I often went hiking at Chestnut Ridge State Park and my family loved to go camping in Allegany. I’ve played many sports throughout my childhood including soccer, softball and gymnastics. In high school I started working as a gymnastics club leading workouts and creating circuits to build young children’s strength and abilities. I also became the captain of the varsity cheerleading team my senior year. Now in college, I am an early childhood/childhood education major with a concentration in math. I am a part of the education club on campus as well as Fredonia Greek Life.

I set forth a great deal of exertion into everything that I do. I do my best in any and everything. When I set goals for myself, I give it my best shot to accomplish them and on the off chance that I happen to miss the mark regarding my goals then I value realizing that I gave a valiant effort. I am exceptionally persevering in my studies and

I've done the science camp, starting last year with Nome Community Center and since 2009, I have been doing the camps for Nome Community Center, the anti-tobacco camps, they call them craves camps now. The last few years, they do three camps per summer for about four or five days at a time. One camp for the younger kids, I think it's 7, 8 and 9 year olds and the next camp is like 9 and 10 year olds, then 11 to 13 year olds, something like that. They are a lot of fun and I do all of the cooking and cleaning. I am kind of the camp director and they do hikes and

Out of the infinity amount of words in the dictionary, I would choose “creative”. In every art project and presentation, I love perfection. I love the way the colors swirl and dance gracefully with each other and the happiness when the project fits nicely together like a jigsaw puzzle when the finishing touches are applied. Since we are talking about schoolwork, this leads us to another world- “responsibility”. I not only give my best, I turn in all my work on time. I usually receive an A in all subjects, and I believe that responsibility has played a big part.

This job also gives me a chance to impact the lives of the campers I am working with. I am doing this by helping them have the experiences and memories every child deserves. They are learning social behaviors and how to interact and build relationships. This camp gives these kids a sense of normalcy and fun. I have built relationships with children who had started off not liking me but by the end of a week of camp they are comfortable and have fun with me. They know they will always have a place at Camp Munroe and I love being a part of that experience for

I have a wide range of skills and knowledge that I have acquired throughout my personal and professional life. I can communicate with different types of people regardless of age, race or class. I have accessed a huge range of courses that have enabled me to develop interpersonal skills including negotiation and dealing with different types of people and personalities. I also have the knowledge, drive and enthusiasm to work alone when required as I am self-motivated and can meet targets and deadlines. I believe that challenges are best met positively by developing and improving knowledge and skills and through professional reflective dialogue that leads to change. 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.
