Personal Statement On Family And Friends, Knowledge And Success

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

When searching for board members, hand-pick individuals who are willing to attend committee and board meetings. In addition, limit member selections to those who will complete assignments and become active in recruiting future directors. Customarily, the board maintains recurrently scheduled meetings bi-monthly and executive committee meetings monthly, or as required. Other committees most often meet ad hoc. In addition, board members are expected to volunteer at special events as required. Select individuals who are enthusiastic and flexible with their time commitments.

I gained project management experience by organizing weekly events, and I was trusted as an intern to independently complete client consulting reports. These reports were extensive and provided the client with strategic communication plans, social media and website audits, an analysis of their digital footprint, media outreach strategies, and more. When coordinating events, I was responsible for managing 12 concerts over the course of 3 months with over 20,000 total guests. I acted as the head liaison for these concerts where I oversaw all the event details, including planning, coordination, client management, and integrated marketing strategies. My experience working in a fast-paced environment has been extremely beneficial to my professional skill set because it showed me how to pay close attention to detail and stay organized while also being attentive to others and their needs. I hope to gain similar knowledge and skills at APCO

What do you see as the ideal relationship between the board and the executive director?

I was on the leadership team for Intervarsity Multiethnic Christian Fellowship from sophomore year through senior year in college. During my senior year, I also served on the executive board of the Inner Strength Gospel Choir, which was the most challenging — and at the same time, most successful — management experience. It was challenging because I served on the board while studying for the MCAT, which entailed that I had to practice very efficient time management while leading this position. The executive board consisted of six members, all from different colleges and majors within our school, so there was an element of inter-professionalism attached. The scope of the executive board was managing weekly/monthly/yearly promotions/engagements/practices/announcements

Recent major life changes have likely changed my values, but I have ignored those changes because I did not focus on my own feelings. If I am more aware of my own values, I can become a better leader and instill strong values in others. To become more self-aware, I will wake up twenty minutes earlier each day. During that time, I will write down what I look forward to and what I dread each day. At the end of each day, I will record three ways I felt effective, and three areas in which I felt unsure. If I notice recurring themes, I will identify them as new values or areas in which I need to make

I am not a professional writer, but I am a writer with sufficient imagination and positive attitudes. Through last two-semester-writing training, I understand the basic requirements of academic writing, such as the format, the citation and so forth. However, there is still an extensive space for me to improve my skills in both reading and writing. As a reader, I enjoy appreciating masterpieces and I am good at thinking through reading, but sometimes either cultural shock or linguistic barriers limit my reading speed and reduce my interests.

In our lives, we have to make important choices, and sometimes our choices determine our happiness or sadness. As a Filipino, our families tell us to do well in school and to not make bad choices because they want us to be successful and to have ethical morals. Growing up as a Catholic, I was taught to be obedient and respectful to my family which has shaped who I am today. Yet, I too made some mistakes, and I learned from the consequences. From my failures, I learned to not belittle myself, but to grow.

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.
