Rutgers University Personal Statement

The reason I believe I am qualified to be a member of Spanish Honor Society is because of the extensive amount of experience I have in clubs and groups very similar to it. Some of these include but are not only student senate, key club, National Honor Society, and the honor roll. Through hard work and always putting academics first I have been able to do well in my classes and competitions like BPA, and I know that I can be a good role model for other students academically. With my involvement in student senate and different sports and clubs I also have a very good connection with the rest of my classmates and can act maturely. Lastly through my time in National Honor Society, Key Club, and going to Xavier I have had plenty of experience doing service. Lately I have also grown an interest in taking the time to learn the Spanish language, and not just study little sections I need to know for the certain tests. I believe that my experience and ability to serve as a role model in several different areas qualifies me to be a member of Spanish Honor Society, and I'm hoping that through it I can expand my Spanish knowledge and use it to help

Out of all of the skin care products in the world, your bathroom cabinet needs to be filled with products researched and designed by me. When I entered high school, I discovered my passion for selecting lip sticks, lip glosses, lotions, perfumes, and makeup foundations. You name it. After learning about the connections between the information in my chemistry class and these items, a light bulb went off! I maintained an A average in chemistry throughout the whole year! Additionally, in 2014, I became a student in the Academy of Engineering and Technology, which also heightened my interests in chemistry. In a science fair at that academy, there was a chemistry course where we made colorful slime, and during that process, I learned that I get an adrenaline rush when I am mixing different chemicals together to see what the outcome is. Majoring in chemistry at Norfolk State University will definitely prepare me for a very successful future in chemistry! My ultimate goal is to conduct research and development for chemical cosmetics. I plan to obtain employment at the greatest companies in the world such as L'Oréal and Avon.

Looking back to all my rough patches, i infer, would i be where i am today; would i have been exposed to different lifestyles if i stayed in Brooklyn? Along this journey, the exposure i have been given, has enabled me to initiate the best of things. The move to New Jersey tempts me to make another move to maturity. As the next step, to grasp my dreams, I believe Rutgers will guide me into the destined

Through this university I have been able to become involved with various student organizations, including CEPA and the PILOT program. CEPA stands for the Club de Español Para Amigos. This club provides opportunities for its members to practice their Spanish speaking skills, meet and collaborate with organizations that support the Hispanic community, and volunteer in areas that support Spanish speaking community. This club has allowed me to combine my love for Hispanic language and culture, and do philanthropic work. As a Spanish major, it has provided me with the opportunity to network and practice the skills that I have learned in the classroom. Another organization I am affiliated with is the Pilot program. This is a leadership program on campus. As a member of this club I attend a variety of workshops in order to receive credit as a certified leader and then a master leader. These workshops cover topics including diversity, skill building, self- improvement, and leadership programs. This organization has allowed me to grow as a leader, and become a more well-rounded

Rutgers education will help me achieve my career goals or my personal enrichments by taking the courses they have offered and many extracurricular activities like business clubs. The courses they have offered are..This education help me achieve my goal by learning how to use the tools they offer or the professor’s experience will help pass on to their students like me to help prepare us in the real world.

Before I answer the questions posed, I believe an explanation is owed regarding this request for admission into Saybrook. I originally applied to The Chicago School of Professional Psychology seeking a degree in business psychology. Since the program was not ready to start for another year, it was suggested that I take courses in the international psychology program. I thoroughly enjoyed this new experience with an opportunity to “think global”. I optioned to remain in this program with a concentration in organizations and systems. As I sojourned through, I was always aware that there was still something missing. Although I loved being part of the IP program, my roots are deeply entrenched in the world of organizational development (OD).

As a graduate student in School of Media and Communication, Pan-Atlantic University, I have acquired so many skills ranging from corporate communications, public relations, brand communications, advertising, Search Engine Marketing (SEM), advanced writing, public speaking, just to mention a few.

In my highschool career I spent most of my time at the pool as a swim instructor and lifeguard and surprisingly this was what showed me that caring for children was my passion. By working with these kids and learning how to care for them it only gave me more confidence in my decision to become a pediatrician.This and my personal experience with children really opened my eyes to how what I truly wanted to do going into college was right in front of me. I plan to major in Biology and have a minor in Psychology.UNC Wilmington has an excellent Biology program that I would love to take a part of. Going this to university would be a fantastic opportunity because it is known for its diversity, affordability, and highly ranked programs. When I found UNCW I thought It would be a perfect fit for me.

At Rutgers, I want to prove that a prestigious university will shape me into becoming an exceptional student. Rutgers signifies enforcing competition, it is the education I yearn to become successful. I abhor the feeling of not being asked to do better, in other words,

The belief that an education is valuable when it is used to serve your community was instilled in me at a very young age. Growing up in a small village in Nigeria, West Africa, I was surrounded by an African culture with a rural rustic lifestyle. I saw poverty, sickness, death and suffering on a daily basis. I learned to build deep relationships with people of all age groups; from kids who were my playmates, to moms whose babies I helped care for, and grandmas cooking over firewood or selling in market stalls. I learned to value and treat all people with respect, appreciate them, and to always take the time to help others.

I have been largely influenced by my first geology advisor at ASMSA, Dr. Lindsey Waddell, who strongly advocated for liberal arts education and a Keck experience. Because of her advocacy and outspokenness, I decided to attend Beloit College in an effort to obtain the best geology education possible, through both its curriculum and Keck membership. I hope to become a well-rounded geoscientist that is not entirely confined by their narrow interests, but one that studies the Earth as an integrative system through an interdisciplinary lens. After my undergraduate degree, I plan to attend graduate school and earn a Master's in Geology and a PhD in Oceanography or Marine Geology. Alternatively, I will consider other opportunities such as GeoCorps or Peace Corps. I aim to work as a researcher for Scripps/Woods Hole, but I am certainly willing to walk through other open doors should they present themselves.

I am a committed Catholic whose faith has been fostered by my upbringing and education. As a result of completing four sacraments as well as attending Australian Catholic University, my relationship towards God has strengthened throughout my life. After completing my Religious Education Accreditation, I believe I demonstrate the skills to competently teach the values of the Catholic faith with the hope of fostering students’ appreciation and understanding of the Church. I am an active member at St Columba’s Parish, where I have gained a deeper understanding of scripture, liturgy and my own faith development. I am committed to embarking on a life long journey where Catholic values are embedded throughout my personality and actions.

Some of my extracurricular involvements include interning with Junior Achievement of Delaware in their Marketing & Events department and working as the National Social Media Coordinator for my Fraternity Pi Alpha Phi Fraternity, Inc. My time spent managing the National Social Media accounts with Pi Alpha Phi Fraternity, Inc. produced noticeable personal growth in areas such as professionalism, time management, and the need for cultural awareness. These values were essential to not only my success but also our Fraternity’s visibility and reach on outlets such as the Presidential Blog on WordPress, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The time I have spent studying my culture has helped mold me into a worker that is willing to research and share information and stories to help fight for greater ethnic representation and visibility.

The humanities have played a vital role in my development in college, as they permeated my undergraduate studies. I am currently a senior at Boston University. I am majoring in the History of Art and Architecture, and I am double minoring in Medieval Studies and Classical Civilizations. These academic areas have shaped my outlook on the world, as I studied histories and cultures from different civilizations throughout the centuries. The humanities are the only field that allows this kind of introspection on a culture. I think this is a vital connection, as an individual can learn what to emulate from the past in order to have a better future.

With excellent academic performance and outstanding English proficiency, I was admitted by Michigan State University (MSU), whose accounting program is often ranked as top 20 in the United States. Although excited about the fact that I am part of the amazing business school, I was totally aware of the challenges ahead of me. To quickly adapt myself to the new environment, I forced myself to step out of my comfort zone. For example, I made an effort to make as many local friends as I possibly can. Also, I spent lots of time on learning more about American culture by watching American TV shows, listening American music, frequenting local museums among others. Meanwhile, I was actively involved in various extracurricular activities. For instance, I was a mentor at the Mentorship Program of MSU English Learning Center. In addition, I was also the orientation group leader for MSU Office of International Students and Scholars. During the summer of 2014, I interned at China Construction Bank, one of the largest banks in China, as a Personal Loan Client Manager Assistant. This work experience not only allowed me to apply the knowledge I learnt at school to the real world but also taught me how to communicate with different people effectively.
