Personal Statement: How I Will Impact The World

"Like many young people, I believe I have potential to make a positive impact in the world." (Cameron Russell). Everyone has the potential to do something that can impact a person or even the world, but not many people do. People get told by other people that it is difficult or impossible. Someday, I want to start a non-profit organization for teen parents and their children. Of course, it will be difficult, but difficult does not mean impossible.

For my “Change the World” project, I volunteered my time with the SPFGA (Sherwood Park Fish and Game Association). My family and I have been long-time members at the outdoor range owned by the association, and many of my best memories were made there. They are a volunteer run organization dedicated to providing safe and protected environment for appreciation of the outdoors. This is an organization I’m dedicated to and interested in helping because I strongly support education and respectful appreciation when it comes to nature, and the SPFGA is a community full of like-minded people.

I want to improve my current piano playing skills by advancing at least two levels and be confident in playing in front of a large audience.

I bet almost all of the essay’s you read today will be chalked full of clichés about how “I hope to grow as a learner and as a person.”, “I want to learn as much as I can and get a good education”, “I want to expand my horizons.” Here’s the thing about statements like these they are all cliché and dull but they are all true.

Since I was about four years old, I have been singing in church. I joined the adult choir when I was about twelve years old. I am in the high school choir as well, and I am the first chair clarinetist in the symphonic band. I am also learning the piano. I enjoy making music and seeing how it impacts people and moves them. Music itself has power to change people and their perspectives. It takes great concentration and knowledge to sing and play instruments. I could not have learned to sing or play these instruments without God giving me the ability, or without great teachers. Almost everyone in my family can sing and play at least one instrument. Music is a big part of who we are.

The community that I am currently living in is not the best it's run down and over populated with people who have drug addictions or are homeless. Not many people try to help these people simply because they believe they're in a higher class. What have i done for the community?

Throughout my life, I have always wanted to help people in any way that I can. That is why since i was young, i have done anything I can to help those in need. My earliest memories of volunteering is when i was 7 years old, I went with my dad and other people from my church to give the sacrament to people in a old folks home, sometimes having to help feed it to them because they were unable. since then, i have tried to keep that spirit of volunteerism going. Another example of how I helped volunteer was after the oil spill in the gulf of mexico. When i was ten my boy scout troop went down to Galveston beach and spent the day cleaning plastic and other waste off the many beaches there. Two years later when I was twelve, I went again with my boy scout troop and we spent a few weekends in a row doing various

I have always been a person open to new ideas that promote social change in a positive manner. My positive way of making change is through education. I believe through education a teacher can greatly impact student life in a present and future. I'm MSED program specializing in Special Education. I'm currently working in the special education field and Sped Certified by the state of Texas. In my school district, I work as a Special Education teacher in the alternative education program. and I have the opportunity to work with number different type of student to of kids, mostly students with a behavioral issue in which affect their ability to learn effectively. In most cases, a lot of teachers that wouldn't even begin to make take an attempt

During my high school career, I have been a participant in the National Honors Society, the Beta Club, the McIntosh band program, and the Peachtree City recreational soccer league. I am also currently an altar server team leader at Holy Trinity Catholic Church. I joined Beta Club in the spring of my freshman year, and I currently maintain my membership. I also joined the National Honors Society in the fall of my junior year, and I am also currently maintaining membership in this club. In both Beta Club and National Honors Society, I devote my personal time to helping others in my community in order to create a better society. For example,

My vision in how I will take this opportunity and pay it forward to others would be sharing my own experience with others. I would want to allow others to learn and grow from me. I want to be that individual that passes on my knowledge and provide coaching so I can encourage other people to achieve their own goals. I have come across many people who not only have a single parent but financially it is difficult for them since that parent does not really have a high paying job and being a graduate of SCSU I can be a role model for those individuals.

Faithful followers of our congregation, long have I spoken of the danger of complacentcy, of sin, of appetence, of divine status, the list goes on. However, it is my duty, as shepherd of our flock, to warn you of the severity of matters of artistic endeavor. For God not only oversees your interaction of the world around you, but how you interpret this interaction into music. Music is a pathway to the soul. Shouldn't it be paved in love for our lord and savior?

Music is one of the most inspirational things in the world to me. When I hear a song on the radio, I feel like the artist is singing directly to me. Whenever I’m alone or listening to the radio in the car, I let loose and sing

It is our responsibility as educators to teach our students how to be socially responsible adults. “The ability of the adolescent to identify and define social responsibility is important in defining who they are, where they fit in the social world, and building confidence in their sense of agency.” (Polk, nd) I want my students to be confident in who they are as individuals, my goal will be to nurture and push them to be all they want to be. One of the ways I can help students with social responsibility is to put them in social situations. Field trips to places that would force them to be social will teach them in a hand’s on approach. Places like

I was born _name__ on _date__ in _place__. I am a son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend. I was desperately shy as a small child, but grew out of it. My teen years were happy times sports, friends, summers spent in __place_. It all helped shape me into who I am today. My interests are many. I have always enjoyed reading about history and follow the history channel faithfully. I love music. It's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I find it calming when life gets rocky.

I have always been a very driven person in all aspects of my life. I have tried to exceed standards, going above and beyond expectations by pushing myself to do my best. There are several factors that have contributed to my academic performance including involvement in events and activities dealing with the Spanish language and culture, past job experience, participating in Educators Rising, and sibling rivalry.
