Personal Statement: The Yellow Sheet

I feel that I would gain the most and also be most passionate about the mental health challenge. For a long time the functions and processes of the human mind have fascinated me as I have learned about them not only in the classroom but from first hand experience. Psychology was my favorite course that I took in high school and although it is known to be difficult, I did not struggle with it because it is easy to learn something that captures your interest so deeply. And personally, since I was young I have struggled with and worked through clinical depression, working with therapists and psychiatrists to understand the inner workings of my own mind, and I learned how to cope with and overcome my own mental disorder. Learning about other disorders

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

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

I did not file a Federal tax return for the year 2014, because I have not worked during the year. I am retire and my only form of income is Social Security. Since I made no income for the year of any type, I was not required to file an income tax return with the Internal Revenue Service.

Ever since I was a young child, writing has been my passion. I knew I wanted to major in English at age seven, and since then, I have been excited to attend college and begin my career. Next year, I will be apart of the "AHEAD" program, or "Alaska Higher Education Admission Decision" program. This program allows high school seniors to attend college a year early, so they will earn dual credits. Unfortunately, my school district does not fund this program, so I am responsible for financing the entire in-state tuition. Due to my unique status, I am not eligible for many scholarships; however, this $3,000 scholarship for education will allow me to participate in the AHEAD program.

I have wanted to work in the medical field since I was little girl, but just recently grew sure in what I specifically wanted to do. I have chosen to pursue a career in healthcare administration. I know that that there are a lot of preparations to do to get there, but I know that I can make it. My decision to attend Kaplan University is just one of many steps to take to achieve my goal. Kaplan is going to help me to earn the degree I need, but I am the only one in control of the personality traits and skills I need to obtain the position I seek. In this paper I will address all of these things including where I see myself in 5 years.

A year ago the Harvard Business School Executive Education programs dominated my thoughts. Somehow thanks to Google, data mining, and a few powers at be, an ad popped up about the Harvard Extension School. Naturally I clicked on it and was astonished by what was available. A Finance degree, that sounds like a path to grow my business. However, my love for science cajoled me to take a look at what was then the environment science sustainability program. Not only could I take some management classes to fulfill my degree requirement, but also I could extend my financial analyses to include social and environment impacts. Moreover, in my daily reading of the Bible, I came across a verse: And the work of righteousness shall be peace; And the

My guidance strategy is to use is a corrective consequences with Sam. I will start with using a logical consequence when Sam first hits his classmate for not getting a toy. When I see Sam first hit his classmate I will go over to him get on his eye level and explain to Sam that we do not hit and if he continues to hit he will have to have to take a timeout during playtime. I will also give Sam a chance to explain himself as well. I will be clear about what is expected from him. I will not use an offensive tone with Sam.(put in book info) I want him to fully understand me so there is no confusion. The second time I see him hit his classmate I will follow through with the punishment of being sent to timeout and losing play time. I will again

I have no previous ED experience, however, my knowledge and skills from ICU practice; especially detailed pts’ assessment, management of acutely ill pts, task management under constant pressure, together with my recent volunteer experience in street clinics in India would be beneficial for taking upon the post. I am keen to become a part in the A&E/ED and for the opportunity of career

I always wanted to serve the community in terms of health care. Admission to this program has aided in strengthening my determination and given new meaning to my life and the ones around me. Every day in the program has made my dream come to life. I was lost before I came to know about the program, and now as each day goes by it feels like the destination could be seen at the horizon.

I have always struggled with loving myself, because I am too concerned about seeking love from others. I believe this controversy is created by myself attempting to become suitable for society 's standards. Changing hairstyles, buying expensive clothes and accessories, and keeping up to date with the newest technology is only a few of the many deeds I have performed in order to gain societal adoration. I am constantly going out of my way to ensure that my peers will accept and love me. Therefore, I am often too over-run searching for love rather than simply granting it to myself. I desire to love me for me and not for what I have been attempting to be. I believe that my current actions towards my personal wellness will positively assist in the love and appreciation I need to provide for myself. In addition, I understand that I must stop worshiping the world and its requirements and start focusing more on me. I am someone who has concentrated on searching for the love and acceptance of others, but is realizing that I, too, need to love and accept myself.
