Personal Statement On The Community

My vision as an undergraduate student of the Haskayne School of Business (HSB) is to become a well-rounded influential leader and equip myself with a set of skills and values that will enhance me as an individual in my career. Thus, my goal is to succeed academically and socially, graduating with a distinction and having built strong relationships.

With given a choice of what to write this paper, I could not get past the subtle nature of who we are as God’s creations. This fundamental truth of our identity is simplified with the truth of our identity in Jesus. We are created in God’s image with a purpose here on earth to display all of God’s greatness, His beauty, and to reveal all of His character aspects. Best of all, we are completely dependent on God. This new enlightenment of my identity in Christ as God’s creation will allow me to help people around the world become one with Christ by revealing the truth of their identity.

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

Building relationships, developing leadership, and focusing on our school as a community will create an environment where students are building a future for themselves. By looking at what worked in the past while also looking at the future, our school community is more likely to be able to come together to create the school that our students truly need. As a school principal, I am dedicating myself to improving the educational experiences of my students and staff. I will constantly work to build a successful school community through collaboration, hard work, and

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

I was born the fourth of December 1991 in Cranbrook British Columbia. I lived there for 18 years. Before joining the military I worked as a fry cook at a Burger King for three years and held part time jobs working for the College of the Rockies summer camp programs during the summer. My parents are currently living together in Cranbrook BC. My father works outside the province testing railway tracks for two months at a time, then returns home for two to three weeks. My mother acts as the main contact point of the family, she works as a financial clerk. I have a 22 year old sister who will be attending university in Calgary this September. I attended Mount Baker Secondary School in Cranbrook and graduated in 2009

In these modern times, children spend most of their time in school, so a good school community should be available to them, the principal should be the one

After watching the film about the principals who ran schools in Chicago and Springfield, I truly felt uplifted. There was much sacrifice, tears, and years of developing all aspects of their school systems. However, knowing that the end result of the two principal’s work secured the future of the schools they touch, I felt very proud and happy for their dedication to the future society. Without people like them, the American education system is doomed to fail.

Lee University’ mission in scholastic curriculums is, “to develop within the students’ knowledge, appreciation, understanding, ability, and skills which will prepare them for responsible Christian living in a complex world.” In implementation, the practice of ethical action, redemptive service and responsible citizenship within the church, local community, and globally, are emphasized. As an older student at Lee University, I admit that these values were heavily communicated to me, by my mother, from an early age. After high school, I did not pursue a vocation and worked in a factory in Alabama for a couple of years. It was during this time, that I realized, that God wanted more out of and for me. I returned home to Tennessee, and by

Taking part in-group events throughout the campus is a key moment for most if not all-incoming freshman. It is a chance to find and make friends with similar interest or a time to get into something completely new and expand their horizons. Due to the knowledge I’ve earned during my University 101 It is apparent to me that I truly have a place in thee AASS which is why I have begun to look into the BSU and BMIM groups and through a few key presentations such as those by Brandi Wells and Gary Allison I can see my self in countless other programs as well.

I grew up in modest circumstances in a community rich with diversity. My father, a lifelong bus driver, is the person for whom I credit for my early obsession with public transportation. He and my mother earned their GEDs late in life, and I was the first person in my extended family to graduate from college.

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.

Growing up as a Vietnamese-American, my family emphasized the Confucian values of familial and communal support. This, coupled with the suburban setting I grew up in, instilled in me the value of community service. I desire to use my skills and knowledge to help those around me. As a physician, I plan to use my medical training to service my community, practicing within it as well as serving as a volunteer to treat underprivileged individuals.

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.

The principal’s role in developing positive community relations sets the tone for communication patterns, partnership formation and/or alienation (Fiore, 2013). There are many tasks that the principal has that is important to school and community relations. Some of those are being a good listener, diplomatic and tactful and all situations. They also have to promote the open door policy to be free to communicate with students, parents, and their staff. They also have to inform the superintendent and community about good and bad things that are
