Personal Statement : My Passion Project

I hope that you are doing well and thank you for agreeing to be my mentor. I am writing in regards to a project I’m doing for my English 2 Honors class. This project is called the Passion Project. For this project, we spent a year learning about a topic that interests us or something that we are passionate about. At the end of the year, we demonstrate the outcome of our project by presenting it to our peers.

I believe that education; preparation and planning are keys to success. My vision is to apply those principles to my work ethic and applies my knowledge and skills to my professional performance. Therefore, better my workplace delivering excellence in results and stand out as a leader. I strongly believe that the most important part of a business is its people, and example is the best way to express an effective organizational culture.

Passion Project was something I was scared for, yet I was excited to see what would happen in the year-long process. My Passion Project was Hunger in Northern Illinois. I wanted to know more about hunger in my community, and was eager to try to help solve the problem. My essential question for my research was, how can we decrease the amount of people suffering in Northern Illinois effectively? I chose this as my passion project because of my motivation to be able to directly help people in doing my food drive as my final product. I also have spent a lot of time in the city, and have seen many people homeless and hungry on the streets, so I wanted to be able to help them. I also had been to Northern Illinois Food Bank, the organization I donated

Throughout high school I participated in numerous volunteer opportunities. I had the opportunity to be my high school's basketball team manager my junior year of high school. As the lady blazers manager I was in charge of attending games, practices, recording fouls and games, as well as organizing the food for the players after their games. However, I also devoted my time to things other than sports. I also volunteered every year at my school's registration for new student. My school, IDEA Quest, places a lot of emphasis on new student registration because new students are given an opportunity to preview their life at IDEA. Therefore as a volunteer of the new student registration I would speak at the student panel about my experience as an

Sitting in a classroom during the first course for my Administrative Credential, I still clearly recall the moment when I first heard that quote. I had been a classroom teacher for over ten years and yet I had not necessarily thought of or articulated teaching and learning through this lens. This quote and the ensuing discussion I engaged in with my colleagues that evening, resonated with me so strongly that it forever changed and guided my vision of education.

This experience has given me more insight about addiction and recovery. I have more respect for individuals in recovery, individuals seeking treatment, and professional providing treatment to the addiction population. Even though I believe my addiction/habit is significantly less severe than addiction to drugs and/or drug, I feel this project has given me a personal perspective on attempting a behavior change. I can share feelings and understand a client’s perspective. The behavior I chose does not relate directly to substance and drug abuse, some people consider behaviors such as these behavioral addictions. This experience not only has help me better serve people addicted to drugs and alcohol but other addictions such as sex addiction, work addictions, and gambling. I will have more patience with individuals striving to change or stop a behavior because I see how hard it was for me to abstain from a simple

While doing this project I have learned even more about drugs and their effects than I already knew. I learned a lot and it has better made me understand the problems that come with doing drugs. This way I know even more not to do drugs. I think this project was interesting because I had the choice of what I wanted to do and what drug(s) to do it on.

“Matson Navigation Co. spent $14 million to make its diesel-powered ships more environmentally friendly. The Honolulu-based company goes through the Port of Long Beach to bring supplies to Hawaii.” Even though Matson Navigation Co. is trying to erase their environmental footprint many people go out into the world and pollute it, some do not know, do not think about it, or just do not care. If people think or try new ways to make the world a bit cleaner, or just lower the percentage of pollution each year the Earth could become so much nicer and cleaner. To work with energy, there are many ways people can, first they could help make cleaner

I would like to be part of IDEA because I believe that my cultural background, education and work experience would be able to provide a unique way of aiding, pursuing and achieving IDEA’s mission and vision. I have a strong belief that the primary goal of teaching is to foster learning. With my work and education experience, I’ve noticed that learning takes place in many different settings and circumstances. For instance, in my Biology lab courses, I conducted outdoor labs to assess water chemistry, catch biological specimens in the wild, and observe their interaction with the environment. In addition, performed chemical reactions and used microscopes to observe many specimens. These different types of learning approaches allowed me to recognize

Growing up I was always told to treat others how I would want to be treated; I've always been the type of person who looks out for others because I would want someone to look out for me and it's just the right thing to do. I've also always been the friend that is always there to listen and is willing to do what I can do to help and I guess one can say that I have a deep passion for helping others which is why I have such a welcoming personality. I think it is very important that the youth have someone that they can trust to open up to; someone that won't lead them down the wrong path because the results of holding things in aren't always good. I want to advise youth because I know what it's like to have so much on your mind that you think you're

This program has taught me many things about myself. I have been able to analyze my personality, my tenacity, and my ability to be patient and how I am able to handle conflict not only in my classroom but also in my life. The virtues that I possess can influence my teaching style and how my students perceive my class and are able to function and achieve. It is important for my students to be successful and this is something that I must work hard to instill in my students.

A personal mission statement is a philosophy or creed that one plans to follow in daily life. It is usually designed with positivity, purpose, and with personal goals for every aspect of life such as career, finances, etc. It also focuses on personality traits that one would like to possess and the accomplishments that one wants to achieve, both short-term and long term. It also houses the individuality of the person writing it. Every person writing a personal mission statement is will produce a different statement. This is primarily because people value different things, characteristics and have different goals. The purpose of this paper is to explore my mission statement (Covey, 2013, pp.113).

Since I was a child, I was always interested in how things work. I could spend hours observing and trying to figure out where the electricity comes from, how the stereo makes sound or how the TV screen shows pictures. As I grew older, I realized that science is my passion. I decided to major in electrical engineering. As I attended my physics laboratory in school with full of different electrical equipment, I found myself very excited and comfortable. I decided to create a smaller version of the laboratory in my house. My laboratory is located on the roof our house. If you walk into my lab, you’ll feel and see my passion for science. It has one sofa that lay against one of the four walls. The second wall has a big picture of Nicolas Tesla and under that picture a bookshelf with many electrical reference books and my personal notebooks. The third wall has a big window where I installed a solar panel, to supply my lab with “green” electricity. The fourth wall has a computer table with a little desk on the side. In the middle of the room, there is a big table where my thoughts become real. On that

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.

experience that I will learn and take the education to my country. My country where I came from is well known for having a poor medical treatment. Yemen my country where success and passing a course is based on how much money you pay to your professor or teacher to pass a grade level, which explain why we have a very poor medical treatment that leads to a lot of death. Educational material such as books is very good source for education but unfortunately the teacher are not qualified to teach, because they didn’t get the education that required them to became a professional instructors. During the time I was in Yemen My family and I was concerned if I would attend my education in my home country with all the corruption of the education system if I don’t get a chance to get a better education outside my home country. One of my main reason to be a surgeon is the death of my people with poor medical treatment the pushes me toward my goal, and earn my medical degree, which I am in the middle of my journey to helping and honoring my country.
