Personal Statement : My Personal Experience

Pursing a career as a medical doctor is an opportunity for me to mentor youth in underserved populations. As a child, I was raised in the low income, urban community of Roxbury, MA. Although not as notorious today, the neighborhood had garnered negative attention for its high crime rates. My mother emigrated from Haiti and raised me as a single parent. Due to our financial circumstance, Roxbury became our permanent residence. I have always felt there was something lacking in Roxbury in comparison to other towns I visited. My teenage years were largely spent in the suburban town of Stoneham where I attended high school. There was a literal difference in air quality and a psychology contrast in future prospects. While native students of

Outstandingly, American Non-commissioned officers have performed commendably in their discharge of their duties worldwide. Every soldier is entitled with NCO who ensures that all soldiers get good and professional training from experienced and qualified experts. NCO is also mandated to identify leaders from soldiers who can effectively perform in small-units. Hence it is very essential for the non commissioned officer to be empowered with knowledge and technique on how to carry out these duties effectively asserts that excellent leaders understand their soldiers' strength and weaknesses Basically, it is the role of non commissioned officer to employ knowledge and skills they have acquired through the many years of service in planning and decision making stages in the Army. In line with this, the US government is taking initiatives to empower the non-commissioned

There are few certainties of what one will encounter during life. A common joke names two: death and

Over the past summer, as well as the past 5 summers, I have worked at a place called Camp Vineyard. It is a fantastic summer camp run out of the Vineyard Chattanooga church where they bring in kids from over 20 different churches across the southeast and give them a place where they can experience God in a traditional overnight summer camp way. From the many fun activities such as the ridiculous games such as giant multi-ball soccer to the neat groups, which allow kids to build rockets and shoot them into the air and archery, there is never a dull moment throughout the day. In both the mornings and the evenings we have sessions where kids learn from a couple different speakers and have a time of worship. Finally, one night every week we also have a ministry where in the past kids have learned how to pray for others, sought both physical and spiritual healing, and have been spoken to by the other kids around them. It truly is quite an experience to see over 400 kids from 6th grade to 12th grade praying for each other and speaking into their lives who some have been changed forever because of this.

The Creed of the Noncommissioned Officer states, “No one is more professional than I,” “I will strive to remain technically and tactically proficient,” and “All soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership.” As America transitions from a nation at war to a nation at the ready, it is imperative as noncommissioned officers, that we remember those responsibilities set forth in the creed in which we live by as we forge our next generation of soldiers and leaders. How we forge our future leaders, train our soldiers, and how we develop ourselves as noncommissioned officers is outlined in Army Regulation 350-1, Army Training and Leader Development. From

I have been in army almost 3 years, I experienced army mission and SSA job with my Non-commissioned officers. They are expert and have good leadership. They always give me motivation for army life. They are my roll models. now I have desire become like them. when I become NCO, I want to lead my solider as my NCO leads me.

I was born and raised in Spain to British parents. After completing my Licentiate in Psychology with the University of Valencia in 2009 I moved to London. I also temporarily moved to Barcelona for my MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology.

In my Personal Statement of Experience (PSE), I have mentioned about a lot of activities and if I am being honest, each one of the activities taught me something. For instance, accumulating clothes for the poor in winter taught me how to manage and work in groups and realize the importance of a group leader. But what changed my entire perspective of things was the honor of being a teacher. I have been tutoring students privately ever since I was in grade 10 and what started as something to earn my allowance, soon became a dear hobby. Since I was a student of science my own, I taught all the science subjects along with Mathematics and Statistics which is why this venture was academically beneficial for me. For example, teaching Mathematics

I became interested in cancer research after working in Dr. Barcellos-Hoff lab during college to help pay my bills, helping with husbandry support.This involved palpating the hundreds of tumors.It was fascinating being able to track the growth of a tumor. Seeing the tangible effects of our manipulations,I have developed an appreciation for our research and its medical implications. After college,I came to work at the lab full time,I was excited to learn and better understand the experiments.Quickly I gained the necessary technical skills to work in the lab,and I developed lifelong skills such as critical thinking, problem solving,and teamwork.When a problem arises,I have come to enjoy trying to solve the mystery as to

Eager to see my SOL scores, I tore open the letter, as if an excited tiger would to its prey.

I went through several stages of development as I transitioned from a TLC to a MLD and finally to a Data & Information Technology Director of Operations. When I entered the role, I was extremely charged by the work of bell hooks. My worthy aspiration was to coach to transgress because I am compelled to believe that education is a practice of freedom. To be plain, I envisioned a place where students and teachers are mutually empowered by each other and the experience. My first manager Robert France really pushed me to insert my sense of self and this charge into the center of my work. I honestly did not understand what this meant until a few weeks ago. However, I do remember him pushing me to be my authentic self. My management experience

This whole summer was the worst summer I have ever encountered. I learned many different lessons and the whole experience taught me a lot. It all started in the beginning of May 2016, when I first ever talked to Raf, the new foreign exchange student, over Facebook. We talked and Facetimed several times throughout the summer. Most of the time I could not understand what he said because his English sounded truly horrendous. His bad English and his accent would be difficult to adjust to.

Throughout my childhood, there were many different places I considered home. From the southeast to the northwest I have lived in various environments and experienced different cultures and types of people. It started when I was born in Jacksonville, Florida and after two months my parents moved my brother and I to Chamblee, Georgia to be closer to family and out of the countless hot days in Florida. We were there until i was six years old, after I had developed good friends and had a solid community surrounding me. Moving out of Chamblee was not the worst, but it was hard because I was little and did not fully understand why we were leaving. From Chamblee we went to Vashon Island, Washington, across the country. My parents fell in love with Vashon after visiting during the short period of its sunny days, so they decided to move us out there. Vashon was my favorite place ever and it still is. I was there from six years old to ten. It was not the longest amount of time I’ve ever lived somewhere but it was the place I grew out of my shell, met lifelong friends, and started swimming. After the crash of 2008 hit, my parents lost almost everything and we had to move out of the place I thought I would live forever. We moved off Island to University Place and were there for only my 5th grade year. It was a hard year, but I swam again and met great friends. After a brief year in University Place, my parents decided to move back to Georgia to be close to supportive family, and that

The water was hitting my face, as steam blew of my body, I changed the hot water to cold. The shower was refreshing me, but I couldn’t stop thinking about all the hardships and obstacles I faced to get to where I am now. The vivid images of all the negative things I went through and a few positive were filling my head. I couldn’t stop comparing the past to the present I was in right now. Even though I lived through a lot of crappy periods in my life, I ended up learning that through pain we gain hope. All my problems started in elementary, the place I considered living hell.

If you asked me to describe a moment, a specific period of time in which I faced a challenge, setback, or failure, it would be impossible for me to answer. The challenge I face, unique to less than 13% of the population of America’s school-aged children, is something I contend with on a daily basis. One wouldn’t know by looking over my academic records, looking at me, or by speaking to me that I have a comorbid neurodevelopmental learning disability. When I was seven years old, I was diagnosed with ADHD without the Hyperactivity and a Sensory Processing Disorder. Essentially, I have considerable difficulty blocking out any and all audio-visual stimuli and trouble with organizing and processing the information I receive from the outside
