Personal Statement: Dunman As A Role Model

Of the many classes that I chose to take, my two favorites were an English course and Health course. I may want to be a K-9 Officer, and these have few things in common with that career goal, but they were my favorite courses because of the professors who taught the course. Janice (Meredith) Privott for the English course, and Matthew Harpold for the Health course. These two teachers helped push me to better myself in almost every way. Mrs.Privott helped me on a personal level with stress and trauma; from her support she made me a much stronger person. Mr.Harpold helped me with my self-esteem, he took the time to help me when I needed it, even when I wasn’t in his class, just as Mrs.Privott did.

When I first went back for my last middle school year, I secretly hoped that I would get a great English teacher, and I liked her from the first day. She had us do what is called Daily Grammar Practice (DGP), which greatly strengthened my grammar skills. Mrs. Dunlap also did a unit on World War II, which I loved, for it combined my two favorite subjects together: English and History. Her

I was very happy to see that she got the teacher I wanted. This teacher was the most popular and highest rated teacher in the school district. She won many teaching awards and was honored for her teaching skills by her peers and community. This particular teacher was also teaching at the same elementary school that I was attending when I was a child. I remember her because she was always kind to her students, not to mention very pretty and immaculately dressed every day. I never had her as a teacher for kindergarten but I remember walking past her classroom often.

I’m going to start by saying we have some very good educators at Durant Public School that, make sure we are well prepared for college. Here at Durant Public School have been wonderful, exciteful, and delightful, I completed ninth, tenth, and eleventh grade here at Durant Public School. I’m currently attending the twelfth grade. Now I’m about giving you a brief summary of my experience at Durant Public School.

We learned about space, atoms, and doing experiments with Bunsen burners, which made me excited to take chemistry in high school. Mr. Hovinen and Mr. Hageman were the most enthusiastic and amazing language arts teachers. In Mr. Hageman’s class, I remember reading Night and how he taught the value of reading books. Mr. Hovinen’s class prepared me so well for high school by learning how to annotate books, which is critical in high school and how to analyze texts. I remember the grammar lessons that he taught and watching Spirited Away and Edward Scissor Hands in order to learn how to read a film and directors’ decisions. I remember reading Zoe’s Tale and The Princess Bride and learning how to enjoy writing in his class. Overall, Manning teachers gave me the tools to be successful in high school and now onto college. I will be attending Colorado State University with a major in Biomedical Science and continue on my journey to becoming a surgeon. I will use the tools like annotating from my language arts classes, critical thinking from my math classes, and passion for science and learning from my science classes to help me through tough courses in high school. I look back on my Manning experience with many happy memories that made a solid

Attending this leadership program will allow me to sharpen and gain new skills which will benefit KPMG internally; I will gain skills that will allow me to perform as a better team leader, and provide more focused and relevant upward feedback to my leadership. This will also benefit our clients; having expanded my knowledge through others experience and perspectives, I will have the necessary tools in my hand and contacts in my network to provide viable leadership and solutions for any challenges facing our clients, as they arise. The ability to ‘step away’ from work, to network, and learn how to be a better leader is something I personally feel is essential in shaping more effective, diverse, and influential leaders which is my personal goal.

It gave me an outstanding education for my high school future. In Kindergarten, Mrs. Cordia taught me sight words, math, and Jesus. In Mrs. Cordia class she had Mrs. Cordia Corner, estimation jar, bad name book, and stuff animals that we could take home. I remember when I got the prettiest pink angel statue for her corner that i still have. She used to throw cheeto balls and candy at us while we were watching a movie;everyone would fight over them. She introduce me to celery and peanut butter together I love that snack! Everyone fought over who gets to sit next to her in church or the classroom. As I graduated and moved on to first grade I could hear Mrs. Cordia saying, “Good bye my little souls!”. In first grade, Mrs. Broshears taught me me how to use money with Broshear bucks. With those bucks you can get something from her treasure chest or if you reach a certain amount you can eat lunch with and a friend. I remember when I brought Ben Watkins and we got Mcdonalds and sat and watched sesame street in our classroom. We thought we were living the life. In second grade, my teacher was Mrs. Smith. We learned the start of multiplication, crusave, I started to read chapter books, and we received the sacraments of Reconciliation and first holy communion. Mrs. Smith was so fun, she loved Frank Sinatra so sometimes she would turn it on and the whole classroom would dance together to it. She introduced me to my favorite book, Because of Winn Dixie. If we were bad we would have to put our name on the board. One time she put me and Ben Watkins next to each other and we would talk so much so we had to put our name on board. We both started to cry and the next day me and Ben came back and apologize to Mrs. Smith and she erased our names. Out of nowhere one time she jumped on the table and started to dance and kicked all our books on the ground. She was so funny! In third grade Mrs. Resiak

few genuinely great instructors at this school that left a positive imprint on all of the students that

I have learned a lot these past four years at Union High school. This year, however, I was a student aid for Mrs. Bestgen, she is one of my favorite teachers here at Union High school. In her class, I helped several students a day and it really helped me learn a few strengths and weaknesses about me.

I began the Leadership MBA program this April because I wanted to obtain the skills to effectively lead in my field. I have primarily served as a Case Manager or as a Program Specialist in several non-profits and have seen many programs fold and/or fail the communities they sought to serve. I now want to use my experiences and knowledge working in and for several to help administer policy and business practices that will help an agency and community reach its full potential. Through this program, I expect to polish my

Gdovin was always there to help and encouraged people to come to his office to ask or discuss any topic whether they were understanding it or not. He gave us so many opportunities to help us in our class since it was so difficult. Information and has been always accessible because if he wasn't available there were always people in his lab that were able to help. Not only did he help me in his class, but he talked me through other programs that would be good for me in the future and strongly encouraged me to consider them. He was always enthusiastic and uplifting and made the class interactive and fun to be in. He has far been the best teacher as well as person at UTSA I have

I really enjoyed my time at Monroe, everyone was very welcoming. I made great relationships, and connections with the students and my teacher. Mrs. Nadeau was very helpful, she let me interact with the children and partake in lessons. She often explained why she was doing what she did and she loved to answer any questions I had. She took time during her breaks to speak with me about different techniques and behaviors around the school. She helped me learn a lot about the school system, and cleared any confusion I had. She was so helpful and wanted us to be in her class. Her helpfulness and success in the classroom made me that much more excited to be able to have my own class someday, watching how well she did with the children reassured my

My leadership can be seen in my experience as the Director of Resource in my school of 600 students, Preschool through the eighth grade. I supported parents, teachers and administrators as they maneuvered the obstacles involved in identifying learning needs as well as the challenges that follow after identification. I worked directly with teacher and families to complete the necessary paperwork and advocated on their behalf with the public school system. Under the role as director, I was solely responsible for

The first thing that made you stand out as an amazing teacher, for me at least, was your unwavering positive attitude that made me want to share your enthusiasm. There probably wasn’t a day when you didn't have a smile on your face and that really made me want to learn because there wasn’t any other teacher that I had met previously that had such a burning passion for their subject. Your classroom was probably where I learned the most due to you being very helpful kind to everybody. I remember one time when you realized that the few people didn’t know the meaning behind one of the songs we sang and you stopped everyone and then proceeded to explain the

Firstly, Dr. Shipman is really an intelligent professor who remembered all student names in the second day of class. This deeply impressed me. Truly, there are no many professors in universities care about students’ names but she did. Additionally, she made learning fun and connected all students with multiple levels in my class so that we could learn well and helped us have interest in learning. Although she motivated and cared about students, she is not easy. For instance, Dr. Shipman will take a roll of every day of class and she will count if students come late and also her test is not easy, too. For example, she gave us every day quizzes after lectures so it was hard for students to miss a single day of class.
