Personal Statement: Self Assessment

Whenever the term legacy is invoked in conversation it elicits many different responses. What is it that makes a person have a legacy that will endure long after he or she has breathed their last breath? In my judgement there are several factors that enable a person to have a long lasting impact on others. There are several key attributes that I feel contribute in the greatest manner of developing a person into who they are and into the professional and the leader they were destined to become. As I take an in-depth view of myself and evaluate the abilities that I possess, there are areas I must identify to improve upon whether strengths or weaknesses. The strengths are my endurance, compassion, and leadership,

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

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

Thank you for this assessment, but has you know this was the year end assessment on how you did with the goals set out during the year. Your self assessment is missing a review of your team’s performance compared to the goals set out. It is also missing the level of professionalism I expect from all members of my team. I have also asked for new goals for 2017 and I did not receive them.

What area do you want to focus on? What are your learning needs based on reflection and self-assessment?

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 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.

While writing a compelling college essay may seem to be a daunting task at first, I believe that the key to generating a unique and moving topic is dedicating effort early in the writing process to personal reflection on your goals and motivations. Often, in writing personal statements for colleges and other applications, I set aside time to dedicate to focused reflection about events or moments in my life that illustrate my values or identity. In terms of the mechanics of an effective personal statement, I typically utilize the “zoom in, zoom out” method, which involves recounting a specific anecdote early in the essay, and then demonstrating how this anecdote contains lessons that apply to greater aspects of your motivation or identity. Through

When defining myself, I took the Myers Briggs personality test online and the results were that I am an INFJ (The Advocate). From past experiences in my opinion my strengths are that I have a very strong work ethic, which I believe I inherited from my dad. Also I feel I am a very organized person when it comes to certain things. For example, I get very upset when a pen is not in a certain place on my desk. I feel most of my success from school comes from being organized and on top of my studies by managing my time efficiently. My last strength that I feel is unique is my everlasting patience with people. This trait of patience has developed over time because I grew up with a little brother that was diagnosed with autism at an early age and

Born as a South Korean, but lived in various places around the world. Blended with people who did not share the same culture, language, race, belief, and tradition - which an elementary girl had to take in a lot. Growing up in Pakistan and living in an International Boarding School was not an easy life. Having to acclimate with various types of nationalities, I had to go through many clashes and conflicts. This is where most of my experiences came from - struggling with students and adults at my high school. For five years studying in Pakistan, I went through moments when my life was falling apart and moments when my life was going smooth. These stages of my life gave me so much agony, pessimism, despondency, and blinded me from seeing the purpose and meaning of life. On the other hand, it also did give me laughter and happiness. However, under those circumstances, I strived to fight with differences and problems that I had to come across with, but the hardest part was when there was no one there by my side. Nevertheless, because of my unique lifestyle and experiences, it persuaded me to have a passion for helping teenagers. The reason is because there will and there are people who are going through the same situation as I went through. As for this, I want teenagers or anyone to know that there is someone who is always willing to reach out. Someone who can be reliable. Someone who can listen. Someone who can advise. Someone who can care. Someone who can influence. And these

I’m a self-motivated and intelligent female who is capable of juggling many responsibilities. Currently, I’m the Public Relations Chair for the Society of Women Engineers, a member of the Robotics Team and Quiz Bowl Team. In the past year, I completed a study-abroad in China, where I immersed myself in the Chinese language, and culture. Additionally, I worked for the College of Engineering as a camp counselor for incoming freshman. I guided them through their first college experience so they could not only ace their classes, but be sure about their path in life. I also shadowed the SWE president. This gave me opportunity to lead meetings, host events, and lead others. I learned the ropes about how to properly run
