Ten years ago if someone had told me that today I would be starting over in school I would have told them "you're crazy." Fast forward to real time and here we are.
Previous to being enrolled at RCC (this is my first semester as a transfer) I completed three (3) years at North Carolina State University. Go Pack! I was in the Poole College of Management en route to getting a Bachelors in Supply Chain Management. As I got further into the curriculum I began to realize that being a Business Major was not for me. I have always had a fascination with new technology and I finally settled on a different sea to set sail. I brought all my transferable credits here to RCC where I will complete my Associates of the Arts. I will then take this and transfer to a four (4) year institution to get a Bachelors in Computer Science; if I had to choose an institution right now I would either choose UNCG or head back to NCSU. I'm still

I am a salesman for a local beer distributor and my boss has ingrained it our minds that we need to treat each day almost similar to a self-assessment. If I'm performing a skill or task correctly, chances are it wasn't/isn't a fluke and I will repeat the success. If I am struggling with a task or skill, I've found that dissecting it and creating a process to help me complete it is the best way for me to improve on something. When an employer asks you to self-assess, they don't want you to expand on what you're doing correctly, they want you to focus on what you need improvement on. You are your best critic and you create your own standard. Self-assessments are accurate and successful when you put forth the effort to really dig deep for the truth on your strengths and weaknesses. These assessments are what you make of them; if you know you need improvement on A, B, and C and you don't take ownership of these weaknesses, then you are hindering your own professional development and future
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
Coming from a small town on the east coast, I would have never expected to fall in love with such a large and diverse college like the University of Michigan. The upbeat atmosphere of Ann Arbor alone was enticing enough before I even saw the actual campus. Upon visiting, I quickly realized the University of Michigan was a place I would not mind spending my next couple of years. From the countless students all around to the wide variety of shops in town, Ann Arbor seemed like a lively and exciting place to spend my college experience. While walking through the campus, I was continuously amazed by the large intricate buildings surrounding me. Some of my favorites included the Law Library, the College of LSA and the Michigan Union. While I do not plan on attending it, the Ross School of Business was also an incredible
The HLLC community not only provides students with accommodations of residential living but it rewards students with the opportunity to enhance their leadership capabilities and teamwork talents. By being a member of the HLLC community I will be guided as student but shaped into a student leader. I will be able to learn about the right ways of approaching and bringing awareness to social issues, An example in which would be my passion to increase cleanliness and education around the globe. I once saw a documentary entitle “On my way to school”, it featured 6 children and their daily difficulties. They lived in an areas filled with filth, but were happy and thankful to at least have a roof over their heads. These kids would also have to
As a child I learned about the world primarily by experimenting rather than asking someone. That being said, I have had my fair share of failures such as baking gummy bears in cookies. However, I have also had much success. While the rest of my class was growing crystals for our science fair, I was piecing together a coyote skeleton. In high school, I conducted scientific research on drought signals amongst soybeans at varying distances. This research not only took me to the State Science Fair, but the International Science and Engineering Fair as well. I fell into a fascination of science at a young age, and I have a desire to continue on this path. The REU program offered at Tarleton is not only superb in research, but a great fit to me as
As Ernie Harwell once quoted: “It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure.” This quote sums up the feelings that come to mind as I fill out this application to transfer to Rutgers New Brunswick. My experience so far at Rutgers has taught me a lot about myself, and the people around me. It taught me that I am a part of a bigger picture, and each of us as individuals have a huge impact on the society around us. However, I have come to peace that it is time to move on from the Newark campus and pursue my degree at Rutgers New Brunswick School of Arts and Sciences. New Brunswick would be a more logical option for my studies due to a shorter commute from home, and a better computer science program.
I believe that Northwest Catholic High School will be beneficial to me. I will develop interpersonal skills, emotional resilience, and have diverse experiences. I feel that these skills will pave the way to my goal of attending UCONN, UCLA, or Walden University in Minnesota. I know that Northwest has teachers and staff who will help me boost my self-esteem and confidence levels. By attending NWC, I will achieve a keen and steadfast mindset, and grow in my future profession as a counselor. I am persuaded that I will reach absolute educational greatness at Northwest Catholic High
I am interested in becoming a member of FLOC because I know I have the potential to succeed as a leader at University of Texas at Arlington. My skills as a speaker and a guide make leadership something I can utilize to inspire those who follow me.
Besides growing up in Colorado and considering this state my home I’m interested in RVUCOM because of the unique educational opportunities it provides to its students. In particular, I’m hoping to study in the Global Medicine Honors Track because I am interested in developing and furthering healthcare infrastructure in places like India, a country that is close to my heart. As the world becomes even more interconnected and easier to travel around, it’s highly conceivable to serve both the Front Range and places across the globe with the same high quality care. My superordinate goal in this area is to help develop cost-effective education programs and preventative methods that work well and improve quality of life irrespective of geography and
The question of why I should be selected for the RLDP-P can best be answered on two fronts. The first being attributed to my civilian education background and the second; by my Army background as an Air Defense Artillery (ADA) Officer. If selected for this prestigious program, it would allow me to bring back a strengthened understanding of the Indo-Asia Pacific region. Which, would greatly enhance my Brigade’s ability to understand the dynamic relationships we in the 25th Infantry Division are a part of.
Recently, as you may have been aware, school has become rather unstimulating for me. It is for this reason why I wish to switch to the private day-school GEMS World Academy where I will be able to embark on an independent study program. In this program I will be able to skip several grades to fulfill my goal of going to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Columbia University, Stanford University, Harvard University, or the California Institute of Technology at the age of 14(or possibly 15). With GEMS’ rigorous IB programs, I believe that it will be the best fit for an individual with the intellectual and cognitive abilities that I possess.
During my medical education, I had the opportunity to do two separate electives in PM&R. My first elective was at Kaiser Permanente Hospital working under the supervision of Dr. Michael Jaffe; a well-known PM&R physician. While working closely with Dr. Jaffe on many different and interesting cases, I was further drawn to the field of PM&R, especially due to the complex and varied nature of human musculoskeletal diseases, and PM&R’s wide spectrum of musculoskeletal disease pathologies, which involve many patient populations spanning from the younger to the older generations. This experience was both intellectually challenging and personally fulfilling, especially being able to establish extended relationships with patients, work collaboratively with other medical providers such as physical therapists and occupational therapists, to deliver skillful and thoughtful care to a diverse patient population, to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, and to pursue the understanding of the underlying pathophysiological events of musculoskeletal diseases so as to help patients transition back to accomplishing their activities of daily living. With this comprehensive perspective in mind, the PM&R specialty has become a very fascinating, challenging and fulfilling career path. For these reasons, I decided to further my goal of pursuing a specialization in PM&R, and continued
I would like to participate in GEMS because GEMS is a very educational program that allows students to have fun at the same time. It allows students to explore the different aspects of STEM. I enjoy STEM because it teaches me many facts I don’t know and it allows me to be “mathematical” My favorite subject is Science, and I excel in Math. I like to explore new things, and my favorite way of learning is by doing hands-on projects and labs. For me, doing labs is faster way of learning than reading and taking notes. I am very interested in the financial field, and last year I participated in GEMS, we spent an hour or so a day on money marketing, which I thought was very interesting. GEMS offers so many opportunities that regular public school
By participating in E-VOL10, I hope to further my knowledge, be challenged, further develop my social skills and teamwork abilities, and have fun experiences while learning about subjects that I love.
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.
