Personal Statement And Self Disclosure

As a recent graduate of the Johns Hopkins University and a new Research Technician at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, becoming more familiar with different healthcare settings and helping others in doing so have always been of my interest. From my experience of volunteering as a piano teacher for inner-city children in Baltimore, I have learnt that even a small commitment and emotional support can make a big difference in the daily lives and the happiness of those in need. I have briefly familiarized myself to the hospital environment by shadowing physicians and conducting biomedical research but have yet to translate my volunteering experiences and the lessons learnt from them to the healthcare setting. I am a friendly, optimistic,

My family and I moved to the United States from Peru when I was three years old. Upon moving to the U.S., their initial intentions were to continue their education. However, both did not know English, and were poorly informed on the legal process of migrating permanently. Therefore, unaware of the need to renew their visas, our immigration status became illegal. Despite this, my parents decided to stay because they felt the United States could offer me a better education and opportunities when compared to Peru. Unable to pursue their careers because of immigration status, my parents were forced find employment in construction and babysitting respectively.

Booker T. Washington, an American educator, said, “Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.” The “happiness” to which Washington refers, is shown to the Hispanic community through the nonprofit organization, El Centro Hispano. This organization cherishes volunteers who show an aptitude for learning and contributes to the community. Within five years of volunteering, I have developed into a mature young lady with a desirable passion for helping out the Hispanic community. I had the pleasure to volunteer at El Centro Hispano, which offers educational programs or financial assistance to those in need.

Katy we have a few things in common. I am also nearing the end of the Public History program, after this class, all I have left is the practicum. Additionally, I have noticed that most of my classmate have taken this class earlier on, yet I waited until the end. I also fear what to do after graduation. Because Public History is so broad, I have decided to apply to another university to get specific training in Library and Information Science and Archives Management with a concentration in digital assets management to build upon what I have already learned and to make myself marketable when apply for archivist employment positions. I love the American Civil War Era and one reason why is, it presented so many issues with visual propaganda. I

Identity criteria is a main component of who a person really is, central elements of how someone sees who they are and essential properties are argued to determine a person’s identity. How philosophers view the soul is essential one’s personality. The dualists believe that wherever the soul goes, that’s where the mind goes. The dualists view is based off of the fact that there is more to our brain and ourselves than just the physical aspect, the soul strongly supports this claim. Materialism argues against the dualists because they only believe in the physical component of the world, in their eyes a soul does not exist. Lastly, in the psychological view, John Locke implemented memory into personal identity. Leibniz and Reid challenged Locke’s ideas and came up with a reasonable conclusion.

For the young generation, in particular, the online relationships are as influential and evocative as the face-to-face relationships. In addition, as broadcasting and broadband technologies are being accessed by more and more people, the swiftness and suppleness with which the world inhabitants are communicating and socializing (both online and offline) is increasing day by day. As far as the virtual space is

Four words keep replaying in my mind, “Do not tell anyone”. Shocked and confused, with tears stinging my face; I can barely see her sitting across the table. “Promise that you won’t tell anyone” she begged. “I promise Mom, I promise”. Overwhelmed with emotions that are churning through by body, I’ve realized I’ve just made a statement that I consequently, would grow to regret. Feeling as though I can barely breathe, and knowing that I will betray her, the decision is made. Every part of who I am knows that I must find him.

Many ancient philosophers were fascinated with the idea of the personal identity. This is often referred to as the “self”. The “self” is considered to be something that is not physical, therefore the search to discover the “self” is not concrete. With the “self” being something that has no physical element, many philosophers have different opinions on what the “self” is and how it functions. “Someone 's personal identity in this sense consists of those features she takes to “define her as a person” or “make her the person she is” (Eric T. Olson). John Locke was a ancient philosopher who believed that the ‘self” came from memory rather than the body. René Descartes was famous for the phrase, “I think therefore I am”.

I am a Muslim Palestinian-American. My parents are Palestinian refugees who came to the United States to secure a future for me. I have been granted access to education, a secure home, and a future because I was fortunate enough to be born in the United States. Knowing that I could have lived a life where my rights would have been stripped from me, I feel that it is my responsibility to devote my life towards helping people who are oppressed whether they are in the United States or abroad.

What makes one the same person as one was ten years ago? What is it in virtue a person can persist over time? In discussing these questions, we are approaching the subject of personal identity. Philosophically speaking, personal identity is concerned with the qualities that define and make up the persistence of our personhood (Olsen, “Personal Identity). In An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, John Locke offered his theory of personal identity. In which, he believes that consciousness alone, not the soul or the body, constitutes self-identification. In the following essay, I will argue that that while consciousness plays an essential role in understanding personal identity, it cannot sufficiently establish a criterion of personal identity due to its transient nature.

In order to develop a personal ethics statement for Simply Special, I need to discover what it is that I want to accomplish within this organization. Through the process of discovering those potential accomplishments, I must be realistic and consider the pros and cons. As I have learned it takes dedication, determination, and will to reach ethical goals and statements for Simply Special to succeed. In addition to taking pride for our work, we want to stand behind our productions with enthusiasm, excellence, and motivation.

The second concept I want to talk about is virtual communities. Virtual communities are social groups whose interactions are mediated through information technologies, particularly the internet. Like modernism, virtual communities are very dependent on technology and the internet. Since science and technology has advanced in the past decade, people don’t need to go to different places to meet different people and can meet others over different social media platforms or even video games. Sometimes, those people met over the internet can become very close friends. For example, I play a lot of video games and I have acquainted myself virtually with many people playing those games. Some of them I even ended up meeting in real life and are still friends with today. Virtual communities have become such a social norm, that soon, people will have friends all over the internet. I think the aspect of virtual communities is good for society, because it allows people to have a greater awareness of other cultures all over the world. With more insight of how other societies and cultures operate, there is a greater chance to expand one's own social

Social networking is a way of connecting people in the virtual world. Social networking websites have exploded in recent years,

Social network sites (SNSs) such as such as Friendster, CyWorld, and MySpace allow individuals to present themselves, articulate their social networks, and establish or maintain connections with others (Ellison, 2007). These sites could be used for work related situation, romance, connecting with individuals with shared interest, or creating a connection amongst college students. Facebook enables its users to present themselves in an online profile, accumulate ‘‘friends’’ who can post comments on each other’s pages, and view each other’s profiles (Ellison, 2007). Individuals can write on the wall of friends, send private message, comment on posts, as well as chat via instant messaging. Much of the early research on online communities assumed that individuals using these systems would be connecting with others outside their pre-existing social group or location, liberating them to form communities around shared interests, as opposed to shared geography (Ellison, 2007).
