One of the most pleasant things to do on a hot California day is sit out on a patio or porch with a group of friends and enjoy a glass of beer or wine, and converse. Most people would look at their glass of beer and think nothing much of it. When I look at a glass of beer or wine I think of the complexity of it, the beauty and artistry behind it. I never imagined that yeast, barley, hops, sugar, grapes, and tannins would be words that get me excited. Yet, I find myself intrigued by the fermentation process; the idea that yeast can be added to a few simple ingredients in order to create complex foods is extremely compelling to me. It has been an interesting path to my decision to change careers and enter the brewing world, a bit long and winding, but worth it. …show more content…
In my early twenties I thought that a career in nursing might just be the career for me. I applied to an accelerated program, and was accepted. It was not unusual for me to wake up at four or five in the morning to drive 60 plus miles to a clinical site, work a full day at that site, drive home and study for tomorrows lecture or clinical exam. It was an endless cycle of definitions, anatomical terms, pharmacology, and nursing documentation. I learned how to manage my time effectively during my program, which has been very helpful for me going forward with my education. I have found it is a cornerstone to success, and will help me on my continued road to education at Colorado State University. Yet, as much as I have enjoyed being a nurse I have come to realize that I have not felt fulfilled by this career
For me accounting is personal. As an immigrant, life has seldom been easy. It has been marked by continuous sacrifice, unfamiliar settings, and unnerving trials. From an early age I witnessed my parents painstakingly keep track of their income and expenses in order to make ends meet. Such trying moments were the early signs of my inclination towards accounting. In essence, these painful experiences stirred something within me, something that culminated into a passion. After exposure to numerous accountants and academic courses, I was firmly convinced accounting was my calling. In pursuing my calling, I attended Miami Dade Honors College and earned an Associate of Arts Degree in Accounting. Afterwards, I transferred to Florida International University, where I hope to acquire my Bachelor of Accounting in April 2018.
I am writing to express my interest in the biology teaching position at Bard High School Early College (BHSEC). I am currently holding a New York City initial certification in adolescent biology education as well as a Master degree in Biology. I have experience teaching at a high school as well as a college level. I believe that my experience and qualification is a great fit for this position.
For as long as I can remember, I have loved numbers. Ever since elementary school, I remember explaining and tutoring my classmates in subjects related to math. Math was such a passion for me that in high school my professors entrusted me to provide supplemental tutoring to my classmates. Moreover, while in high school, I participated in math competitions and worked on research projects related to business. I always wanted to pursue a college education abroad because I believed I would be fully equipped to help others and to become a better professional. Therefore, when I graduated from high school I applied to a program to come to the USA. There is still a lot that the future holds and the Investment Management Fund program would provide me the opportunity to gain hands-on experience managing a real investment portfolio.
The first theatrical production I was ever involved in as a tech crew member, happened by pure accident. At the end of the school day, a group of friends whisked me away to their drama club meeting, and at the end of the week I was the only member of that group that remained. That accident was the genesis of a brand new passion. From starting off as an average stage hand to becoming a full-fledged member of the high-school tech program, I was hooked for life.
In my time at Albany University I have had time to mature and pursue my passion for serving people through medicine. One factor that has aspired me to study at Oklahoma State University is their emphasis on serving rural and underserved areas of Oklahoma. I was raised in a rural area of New York and really love the environment and people. One of the best parts about growing up in a rural area is the ability to getting to know everyone in the community personally. In high school I got to see the continuity of our community first hand when two of my fellow classmates passed away tragically. During this time our community came together to help our classmates families by holding fundraisers and holding gatherings to show our support. It was amazing to see continuity of our community during these tough times. Being able to form connection like these is main reason why I wish to support my community wherever it may be through
A core principle I live my life by is that I must continue to redefine themselves throughout my lifespan while maintaining true to the core values that have made me the man I am today. I take on novel adventures to expand my life’s experiences to become more whole as an individual. This is why I am applying for a Masters in Counseling Psychology.
A treasurable and reminiscent moment in which I made a significant contribution to society occurred this past summer. I had the opportunity to delve months and invest hundreds of hours gaining first-hand lab experience as an intern at Oregon State University. Helping conduct experiments to decrease the deglycerolization rate for cryopreserved blood in order for it to be prepared for blood transfusions; made me feel like a valuable asset to the world. I interned at the school of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering (CBEE) at Oregon State University through Saturday Academy and the Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering program. Overall, the program is highly competitive and provides an eight-week, full-time summer internship.
Emory University attracts me most for its abundant research programs provided for the undergraduate students. Personally, I like to do various kinds of research, including but not limiting to Mathematics. In Grade 11, I led a research project in respect of the negative effect created by the abuse of laser beam, which mainly focused on physics concepts. By doing a substantial amount of experiments and gathering related information from the internet, I obtained much more knowledge outside the classroom. As a result, doing a research program is one of the goals that I want to achieve at university. Regarding to the undergraduate research programs at Emory University, Research Partner Program (RPP) is an institution which supports students who interest in working on a research project with a faculty mentor. I find that one of the mathematics related research programs focuses on Algebra and Number theory, which is my favorite topics among all math theories. I hope that I could participate in this research program to train my analytical skills and presentation skills. Besides research opportunities, honors programs are also prevalent throughout the
My interest in the docent program reflects my passion embedded within the fundamental purposes of museums and libraries: preservation, investigation, and ultimately, presentation of knowledge to broad audiences in a unique, profound, and intimate manner. A scholar and storyteller at heart, I commit myself to intensive investigations – ranging from my studies with alcohol addiction in fruit flies, mythology behind Joan of Arc’s martyrdom, comparison of Roman imperialism to Neo-imperialism, and the history of AIDS socio-political discourse- and express my findings in the most creative and cohesive mediums possible. Driven by a desire to learn, I immerse myself in research on a daily basis, spending hours acquainting myself with books and articles.
I am very interested in attending Cornell’s College of Agriculture and Life sciences and pursuing a major in Biology and Society. Pursuing this major allows me to incorporate a passion of mine, Biology, in the context of the sociocultural forces it is sure to be applied in. This is not only intellectually stimulating but also relevant to my upbringing.
Synthesizing medicine from a leaf sounded magical when I was a teen. My passion for science began after watching a documentary on Discovery Channel.
Peering into the computer screen, debugging the last line of my programming code, I silently rejoiced as my research efforts came to fruition. During the last two years, my research team had been working on developing a tumor staging system for squamous cell carcinoma, one of the most common forms of skin cancer in the U.S. The new staging system improved the ability of clinicians and researchers to identify patients at the greatest risk for disease progression. The project required collecting and analyzing vast amounts of treatment and outcome data from thousands of patients.
Coming from high school with a passion for anatomy and biology and also a desire to study math and physics, it was difficult for me to pick a major. However, I knew I had to make a choice between studying a pure science or engineering as an undergraduate degree. While I was unsure of my undergraduate pursuit for a long time, I have been determined to attend medical school for a long time. My desire to study medicine has been driven by the desire to tackle challenging diseases. Through my knowledge of the medical field, I realized that combating diseases requires not only an understanding of the biology, but an advancement in diagnosis and treatment using applied sciences and innovative ideas. This is essentially the undertaking of engineers.
What motivated me to apply to NYU, is NYU’s mission to become a global university which matches my interest, goals, and ambitions.
My decision to apply to the Masters of Medical Sciences program at the Boston University is the most important one ever since I made the decision to pursue medicine as my future career. As a former lab manager who conducted various research on cell biology, I have learned that research alone wasn’t able to satisfy my desire to develop relationships with the individuals that I help. After learning about the program, its curriculum, and its countless extracurricular opportunities, I believe this Masters program will be my stepping stone to medical school.
