Personal Statement Questions

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.

A Community is like a family outside of home, and I always aim to do the best for it. I spent most of my time in the community at church and at school. At Church I assist in bringing planned events to fruition. I help create an environment in and out of school that is warm and welcoming, I accomplish this through music or actions. Tulare Western High School is a better place thanks to the joint efforts of everyone enrolled. At school rallies and football games wouldn't be same without people like me who love their school, and give it spirit. Without us they'd be nearly soulless, and erring. Not only do people such as I make school experiences more memorable, we contribute and thank others through our actions, for example in December our entire

I think that our school (John G. Diefenbaker) should contribute to make a difference in the lives of many families. Some change that we should make is using Me to We, books, manuals, and biographies to educate our students about the products, services and life changing experiences that have accelerated social actions. Also, Me to We clothing should be worn by all our spirit council members during our Diefenbaker fundraisers, and fun fairs, to motivate, and encourage students to take significant action. Our school can also donate some money

“Success isn’t just about what you accomplish in your life; it’s about what you inspire others to do.” Throughout my four years at Sartell High School, I have tried to do what I can to help others and inspire others to be better people and do great things. I have worked to do this through many aspects of my school life, whether it is through Student Council, on the soccer field, or in the classroom. I have also taken the time to mentor a student in Sartell Middle School through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and it not only made an impact on his life, but it also changed mine for the better. My experience as a mentor at Sartell Middle School has been long and enjoyable, and I believe that it has allowed me to grow into the person I am today.

Because of the imperfections evident in my high school and deeply rooted in the city’s and state’s allocation of education funding it has become clear to me why I love my high school community so much. It is not the material possessions that we have (because compared to nearby cities and town like Newport, Mansfield, or even North Attleboro we are definitely lacking), or the quality of education that we receive (because I was forced into taking more electives this year than I have over the past three years combined due to scheduling issues and overcrowded classes), but our ability to come together in times of need, put aside our differences, and facilitate positive change. Though we have our differences and fights break out or names are called, when serious issues

I established and founded 1506 in 2017. Having a 20 year background in business and currently a Certified Stress Management Coach , I decided at first to use 1506 as a platform for adversity and surviving it.  Then during a pivotal point in my life, figured its to grand to be boxed into those categories. 1506, means to me , to survive , to achieve ,and stand on purpose with the foundation of faith.

I have had the opportunity to be a participant in a strength-enhancing evaluation project with the California Distinguish School Program because my children?s elementary school had been nominated. Looking back at that opportunity I can see how the process itself helped the school community grow into a truly distinguished school.

As I gained a reputation within the school, I started making a difference, the overall mood within the school began to change in a positive way. I became well known and trusted by my council members and the student body. I listened to the concerns and brainstormed ways to address them, and I acted on those ideas. I was responsible in getting the school involved in events such as dances, carnivals and fundraisers etc. I was in charge of running weekly meetings to address issues raised by both students as well as administration and the rest of the Council members. I made compromises when solving current and future problems. I prepared speeches, explaining our goals as a school community and what was needed to be done in order to achieve them. We ran many initiatives within the school such as Karaoke Thursday’s, Semi-Formal, Design a Pumpkin, Door Decorating, Crossfit on Tuesday’s..etc. To minimize the costs of some of our healthy initiatives to the school, I set out to a few local grocery stores asking them if they were able to donate some fresh produce for the healthy

It was a cold autumn night in North Carolina when I realized that my youth was being taken away from me. I wanted to run away and go back to the life that I had known; where I had the opportunity to go to school was happy and understood the language. Instead I was in a foreign land with my family and we could not return for there was no future in my homeland. According to my father, we had to keep migrating because it was the best thing for our family. It was then when I realized that this is not what I wanted for my family and I asked my father that we needed to go somewhere where I can go to school because it was affecting everybody including my little brother. My father raised me to believe I could accomplish anything I set my mind to

How have I contributed to my School and Community? I’ve contributed in many ways for the school, but, not as much as I do for my community. I have done things for my community and my school that didn’t even have to do because I just wanted to.

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 practical and organisational skills and I can find solutions to problems and face challenges confidently.
