Personal Statement : The Foundation Of Me

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

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

My resolution to become a nurse does not hinge upon one pivotal moment in time. Rather, nursing always played a role that seemed larger than life when I was growing up. For instance, my mother attended nursing school at a time when students were not allowed to date, hence, she gave up college to become Mrs. Hubert Fritz. In turn, this inspired my two sisters, who were more than a decade older than I, to go off to college for nurse 's training. I could not help but notice how proud my parents were of Linda and Barb when they, each one in turn, were able to actualize a dream that my mother had of becoming a nurse. For I watched as my family celebrated each capping and pinning ceremony with delight. It was a

When I was between the ages of ten and twenty-seven, my mother managed to treat her cancer diagnosis as one of life's unique teaching

Looking back on my life then, I can see how some of my personal identities play into my missional calling. I am a person that really likes helping and taking care of people. I hate seeing someone in pain or having a hard time. It really plays a role on my emotions, so I always feel the need to help people in need. But I also really like taking care of children. Children are so fun and free. These identities all played into my missional calling to help people and be there for someone who needs support. I think I always wanted to help people growing up because I didn’t know how to help my dad when I was little. And I felt guilty about standing around and ignoring the problem. Right after I graduated from middle school I had the opportunity to volunteer for girls and boys club for the summer. With this program I got to be with children everyday and look after them. I got to take care of them and have fun doing activities that were carefree and life changing. This is when I knew I wanted to work with children when I got older.

According to my birth certificate, I was born Austin John Penny to my parents, Julie and Charles Penny. My birth occurred at 1:25 A.M. on April 19, 1996. I was born at Spalding Regional Hospital in Griffin, GA. My pediatrician who took care of me was Dr. Jim Dunaway, Sr.

If I were to choose an intended audience to target, my choice would be adolescents currently attending high school. High school students in this day and age have their plates full to the brim. With all the classes they are required to take, the pile of homework they’re assigned each night, and the extracurricular activities they’ve signed up for, it’s no wonder that they don’t have much time to think about the future. Despite having full schedules, I believe that a modern home economics, or life skills class, would be worth freeing up time for. My plan would be to create an impactful video and several different flyers to promote my idea and maximize its reach. The video would be distributed through social media platforms such as Facebook,

After taking the What Motivates You quiz I found out I am motivated the most by achievement and the least by affiliation. I was not surprised when I found this out. I’m not a person who needs to have friends or be surrounded to be happy. I am happy being alone or with a small group of people. I honestly don't want to form personal relationships with the people I work with because I feel like that could cause some drama. Achievement is definitely something I strive for, so I was not surprised when that was the one I scored the highest on. I am always striving to do my best at work. I want to achieve high level task. Power is something that I am unsure about. Part of me wants power because I don't like being told what to do and part of me doesn't

My family and friends would describe me as helpful, fun, and energetic. Life outside of school is pretty hectic working fulltime Tuesday through Saturday working as a department manager for Walmart. My job outside of work takes up most of my past time therefore fun does not happen to often for myself but when I do get a chance to lay back and have fun I enjoy shooting pool with my friends. I am most proud of my military accomplishments.my greatest fear is that I will not be able to get back into the military and therefore not be able to provide for my family.

One of my strengths would be my responsiveness to students’ individual needs. I understand that not every student is at the same level, and I try to do my best to check in with every student, and make sure that they are on the right track with their assignments. It is important to me to respect the dignity of each learner, while also challenging them and helping them to grow academically. On a ‘Get to know me’ questionnaire that I gave to each student, many students said that they did not feel comfortable speaking up in class. I had to find a way to incorporate oral speaking into my lessons because a part of the English nine B.C. curriculum is oral language speaking strategies. In order to prepare the grade nine students to read their poems out loud in front of the class, I scaffolded the reading process. I began the lesson by going over an oral speaking rubric, that I created to assess the poetry oral presentation, then I asked students to assess their peer’s poetry readings by telling them one thing they did well and one thing they could do improve upon, then students were given a few minutes to practice on their own, and then students presented to the class. Scaffolding the presentation process really helped to calm down the student’s nerves. I even had the principal come watch one block’s poetry presentations, and the students amazed their peers, the principal, and myself with their readings; this was definitely one of the highlights from my practicum experience.

I am who I am because of my parents’ influence on my life. Their strengths and weaknesses as human beings have profoundly impacted my personality and my world view in a variety of ways.

I would like to become staff on the mineage server as in the past I always have not been toxic towards players. I was once but it was mucking around with my friend in public chat and got muted for it as i remember typing this, but I have learnt from that and now If I ever want to muck around with a friend I will privately so no one else can see, in saying that if I become staff I will not muck around in any bad way what so ever. I have played mineage with my friend “21st”. As saying I have little to no past experience I am a very quick learner and only need to be told how to do something once and I will not need to be told again as I will be able to remember it. In saying this I am a good listener and will listen to any staff member that

I was born _name__ on _date__ in _place__. I am a son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend. I was desperately shy as a small child, but grew out of it. My teen years were happy times sports, friends, summers spent in __place_. It all helped shape me into who I am today. My interests are many. I have always enjoyed reading about history and follow the history channel faithfully. I love music. It's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I find it calming when life gets rocky.

In the 9 years I had being with my mom, showed me how much I want to be like her. My mom had stage 4 breast cancer for 7 years, she was diagnosed when I was 3. Since I was so young, I did not understand what
