Essay on Personal Statement for Optical System Designing

As vital organ of vision, the eye, allows us to learn more about the world around us more than any other organ or senses. Sight, the physical sensory experience and vision, the metaphysical concept of how our brain interprets images both work harmoniously and play a huge role in our everyday lives. However, almost a billion people are either blind or visually impaired simply due to not having a pair of glasses. Being able to lead people in the direction of good vision is what developed my interests.

My undergraduate degree is from the University of Missouri-Columbia in graphic design. When I left the University in December of 2011, I had big aspirations to work in the field of graphic design and for a company I loved. I found a company I loved in The Scout Guide, located in Charlottesville, VA, but realized my heart was not in the work I was doing on a daily basis. I did not like having to sit in front of a computer all day long with little interaction between clients and myself. I also did not feel my work was truly making any sort of impact in the world and wanted a career that would fill be up with a sense of purpose each day. While in college I was an active coach for the Special Olympics in Columbia, and later while living in Virginia, I became an active volunteer in a number of animal nonprofits.

When I was on a softball team a few years ago, me and my teammates would communicate through the essentials of communication which are process, meaning, and symbolic communication both on and off the baseball field. In example, when we are on the field, we communicate in procedural ways in order to reach a goal. We were engaging in action when we were practicing and using our knowledge when implementing a strategic plan on how we would play the different opponents we faced especially in crucial games. My teammates were all different races so we all had different cultural backgrounds. There were people on my team who were of American, African American, Asian, Lebanese, Puerto Rican, and Dominican descent. Therefore, my language was constantly changing when communicating between my Hispanic and American teammates. Our interpersonal competence and determination to win depicted the outcome of our games. However, most of us shared the same desire and effort in helping each other learn and grow with the team.

Though the pterygiectomy was a simple procedure, I was inspired by the fact that it could allow the patient to see better, changing their life.

Being able to see clearly is one of the most valuable assets to have when living in this world because not only does sight constitute the majority of our perception of things, it also allows us to form a closer connection with our surroundings. For this reason, I have chosen to become an optometrist and improve the vision of others so they, too, can truly see all the world has to offer.

When people ask me why I went to school so far away, I generally stick to three answers. The weather is great, the sports are amazing, and the people who comprise the University are fantastic.
