Personal Statement: Process Journal

The personal statement is very important to applicants who intend to be admitted to an undergraduate or graduate school. The role of a personal statement is to make applicants be different from other applicants. It mainly serves the purposes of persuading the admission committee of applicants’ great passion for the study field, explaining their experience that shaped their personality, demonstrating their longtime desire and commitment for the degree, and showing their life goals. What the admission committee is looking for in a personal statement varies from school to school, major to major. Art and Design is a unique program requiring its prospective students to be different in every aspect. The Art and Design Admission Committee is looking for a student who has creative potential in all respects. Hence, for those who want to apply to the School of Art and Design, they should understand how to present their stories, experiences, practice, goals, philosophy, inspirations, and aspirations in a creative way.

I believe in the proverb ” the happiest moment for a person is when he find the one who has the same pursuit as he does.” I still can remember my feeling in that moment when I found a college called Sewanee - the University of the South- and our common pursuit of academics and cultural diversity.

Throughout the semester, I wrote about topics that I thought were interesting to me or about something I like to do. I wrote about hunting, baseball, fishing, and Pearl Jam. I liked writing about these topics because they all were fun to write about because I knew some of it already, but I also learned a lot about them. Such when Pearl Jam played certain shows, or when the Cardinals won their first World Series.

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

My name is Flavia Maria Tello Granados, I am applying for the Specialization in teaching and learning English as a Foreign Language. I have been an English teacher the past six years. I entered the teaching profession nearly by accident; I never thought that what I originally saw as another mean of living in the end would result as such a rewarding experience and an integral part of who I am as a person today. In 2003, I began a certification as a Bilingual Teacher in the state of Texas, USA. Unfortunately, I could not conclude my certification due to citizenship issues. However, from 2006 to 2011, I became a volunteer teacher in a variety of elementary schools in Brownsville, Texas. This experience allowed me to gain a lot of experience in the teaching field. Most importantly, it allowed me to expand my vocabulary, grammar, and speaking skills in the English language.

The University of Michigan offers a myriad of options for underclassmen to fulfill their goals. From the School of Kinesiology to Nursing and everything in between, it can be downright overwhelming. For me, however, it was easy. The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) is where I belong.

Organization: Your essay is well organized for the most part, but there are a few areas you could improve upon. For instance, your paragraphs don't appear to include any transitions between one another, which could easily improve the flow of your essay. Next, your body paragraphs should be more connected to the thesis of the essay.

I would love to become a staff member again on Viper as you can see from my extensive amount of applications. I feel like becoming a staff member will double the love I have for Viper. Also, of course, I have a great passion to help out on the server and help to clear out the server of cheaters and rule breakers as I believe these types of people ruin the experience for others by, as I say later in my application, using the skills I have learnt from previous experience and. Furthermore, I recently decided to stop cheating, something I had done for a very long time, without staffing or cheating I have no motivation to play and have been playing mini games for the last month. Also from this experience, I have gained a broad knowledge of the act of cheating and hiding

My family and I moved to the United States from Peru when I was three years old. Upon moving to the U.S., their initial intentions were to continue their education. However, both did not know English, and were poorly informed on the legal process of migrating permanently. Therefore, unaware of the need to renew their visas, our immigration status became illegal. Despite this, my parents decided to stay because they felt the United States could offer me a better education and opportunities when compared to Peru. Unable to pursue their careers because of immigration status, my parents were forced find employment in construction and babysitting respectively.

This past year, I had the opportunity to attend the Southwestern Ontario Industrial/ Organizational Psychology & Organizational Behaviour Graduate Student Conference and one thing stood out to me: the need to bridge the gap between I/O Psychology research and its application in the business world. My participation in the conference led me to understand that gaining personal experience working in the field before applying to graduate school would benefit me immensely.

My process record went well. I tried to be more present with the client in my approach. It was just obvious that my client was nervous and frighten. Since the main purpose of the home visit is to check on the reunification process with his kids. This can either determine if the client will have full custody of his kids or not. I really do feel for single parents, they have so many responsibilities, and sometimes the workload can become too much for them to handle. Due to their lack of supportive force around. I have seen some parents who are resilient, and willing to provide the best for their children, no matter the situation. This particular client I interviewed, understood that there are challenges in life, but one needs to be strong to

Katy we have a few things in common. I am also nearing the end of the Public History program, after this class, all I have left is the practicum. Additionally, I have noticed that most of my classmate have taken this class earlier on, yet I waited until the end. I also fear what to do after graduation. Because Public History is so broad, I have decided to apply to another university to get specific training in Library and Information Science and Archives Management with a concentration in digital assets management to build upon what I have already learned and to make myself marketable when apply for archivist employment positions. I love the American Civil War Era and one reason why is, it presented so many issues with visual propaganda. I

Whilst volunteered as an office assistant at Prime Tooling Pty Ltd, I developed an excellent working relationship with staff members and senior authorities. Along with my duties I was always pleased to help other staff with their specific work.I have been told that I am approachable and always receive thanks for helping them. My previous employment at a software firm as a web developer best represents my team spirit and ability to encourage team members to meet the best result .In my role as a team leader, I worked in a team of three people to create a commercial website for a particular builder.I thoroughly enjoyed the task and tried to draw on each member's strengths to get the best possible outcome. My ability to encourage and support team

All throughout my years of schooling, I’ve had just about, one paper that was about one page long, due every year. My papers never had to be more than one page in length. Therefore, I did not have to do much writing or do many essays. Surely not enough to remember any of the assignments. Writing has never been something I enjoyed doing, so I never bothered to many any memories of my writing experiences. I did not think it was necessary to remember any of them since I only had to do them to get a grade. The only writing experience I remember was the first assignment I had in this English 100 class about a writing experience. All week long, I sat there thinking about what to write about, but nothing came to mind as a topic. Then, one thing came to mind, but it was so very vague, I could not write the length that was needed for the assignment. I could only think of a few sentences to write for it. After sitting for a few moments longer, I thought, how about I write about how difficult it was for me to write this essay before it was due.
