Personal Statement: Choosing A Positive Work Environment

A community-focused, dedicated and accomplished Disability Support Worker, I am actively pursuing a challenging new career opportunity where I can utilise my qualifications, skills and demonstrated experience spanning 12 years. Proven ability to deliver activities to enhance the physical, social, emotional and intellectual development of children, youths, adults, aged clients and families, with a strong emphasis on protection, understanding and support. Leading by example with compassion and professionalism, I possess strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to provide social and emotional support to wide-ranging clients whilst promoting independence and self-worth. I have demonstrated a high level of proficiency related

1. The most important issue in taking any form of employment is whether it will involve something that I am interested or was trained to do. Second, a salary that is reasonably related to the position and/or the work performed is important. Third, having the independence to work without constant supervision (as long as my responsibilities are satisfied) would be important. Fourth, the ability to have a flexible work schedule. Fifth, training and development opportunities that allow me to get better at what I’m doing would be important.

From day one, I noticed the relative ease of the course. The two friendly instructors welcomed the entire class, and they presented the material in a simple and comprehensible manner. My seven classmates and I bonded immediately. I recall

Growing up, I was a child who encountered many hardships. As I came to an age to begin realizing an underprivileged childhood I lived, I learned overlook it and live on. I began to ask myself “What does it take to live a lifestyle of true comfort financially?” This is a question which I reflect on every day and is one which motivates me to flourish. Raised by a single mother within a lower economic class, we often ran into very tough times. At one point we had to completely pack up and relocate and live in my grandfather’s house. Discomfort cannot describe the reality or feeling, however we were blessed to have Family, family that we could rely on. At the age of 14, I set a goal that would require my best work to become a successful financial advisor. I will not let my childhood define my future; rather I will control my destiny through my experiences and my accomplishments as a result of work ethic.

I see myself contributing to the fabric of University of Washington’s student body. We are a mixed racial family; my father is Hispanic, and my mother is Caucasian. The pillars of values that define our family and myself are: faith, family, community building, education and service. In that, I believe “you earn tomorrow’s opportunities today”, and that “everyday matters”. I hold a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and I am resilient. I volunteer in multiple organizations such as Bellevue Foursquare Church and district camps. I also volunteered with the Asian Language Pacific School, and took part in the Conversation Buddy Program, in which I used my background in Japanese to help the Japanese community. Additionally, I tutor my peers

Safe Risk Free Environment: As a teacher I would want my students to feel comfortable sharing their work and ideas. In order to have that occur my classroom will need to be a safe heaven. To have that everyone must trust, respect, and be willing to have rapport. When students feel comfortable sharing things that are close to them they begin to form a love for writing.

I come from a family where hard work and dedication runs through our veins like ants out of an infringed ant hill. From birth, both my mother and father have instilled in me the importance of getting a sound education while maintaining a positive relationship with my family, my peers, and with God. It was under the leadership and guidance of my parents that I untapped my thrill for learning and sought to go beyond any stereotypes or labels I was given. Overall, I consider myself to be an academically sound individual. Throughout my career as a student at Monroe High School, I have made an effort to exhibit a sustained, unrelenting work ethic.

I was a camper here at Mountain Lakes for seven years and each year I enjoyed it more and more. I really enjoyed the camps activities, the staff, other campers and everything about it.

In 2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, issued a call for academic progression with two specific goals for 2020: “The report’s authors reasoned that although associate degree nursing education is less costly and provides important upward mobility for diverse populations, higher degrees in nursing yield significant benefits for patients, employers, and communities” (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2013).

As educators is it important for us to teach necessary skills for our students to thrive in society and our curriculum should be based on these skills. In my current position I implement Positive Behavior Support Plans (PBIS) in schools, by having PBIS I feel we are teaching student’s the specific skills they need to be successful and helping teachers reflect on the positives. We have to strive to provide our students with skills that will not only enable them to obtain a career but also develop the skill in maintaining their career; we must also instill a sense of human decency, compassion, acceptance, respect, and global awareness. PBIS will help students know specific expectations and learn and understand that in life we have specific guidelines that we need to learn in order to receive the rewards of success.

I am Sravanthi Utpala, an international medical graduate, currently working as a volunteer research assistant in the Department of Family Medicine at OUHSC. I graduated in 2009 and I have completed USMLE exams in first attempt. I am highly interested in Family Medicine residency. I came to US in 2012 after my marriage and shortly after that I was blessed with a baby. My husband is a Psychiatry resident at OUHSC and our baby is 2 years old. I realize that my graduation year and scores don’t meet the criteria of your program. I happened to take my exams during the period of my marriage, transitioning to US, pregnancy and taking care of a newborn. I have done my best during this period. As soon as

In this season of my life, I find myself residing in the most opportune time to reflect on my managerial competencies, as my surrounding environment in which I now lead and manage, has taken a dramatic shift. The eight roles identified by the Competing Values Framework that are essential for effective management, do not make the smoothest transition from a multi until store manager in a retail environment, to a Director of Children’s Ministry in a religious institution. The competencies in which I excelled in Corporate America, I find are not the strengths I need to tap into to find success in my new role. Therefore, in order to achieve the vision of what comparable success is in my new role, I need to build on my competencies that display weakness in regards to the Competing Values Framework that will be the defining factor of my success or failure.

What I liked about the course were the discussions boards as I was able to learn other facts beyond my knowledge from other colleagues. It was interactive

I am currently a freshman majoring in Biology at Washington University in St.Louis. I’m an passionate about learning, hard-working, and caring individual who has always loved being involved in the community and making a difference. As a person who has spent much time at the hospital from my concussions and asthma, I have realized the importance of having people who work at hospitals who go over and beyond the call of duty to make the patient and family feel at ease. Something as simple as having a smiling face at the reception desk can make all the difference. For this reason, I would love to get the opportunity to be a person who puts the patients first, seeks to improve the hospital brand and provides the best clinical treatments available

I feel that collaboration with my peers throughout this course kept motivated and kept me encouraged during times in which I felt unsure of my success throughout this course. They provided strategies and solutions to some of my problems I faced in fiancé, production and in TQM. There was teamwork and constant collaboration.
