Spc Personal Statement

I can proudly say aside from academic and personal accomplishment my greatest honor has been being a member of EOF. I can whole heartedly say that My former advisor Miss Cheryl Smith saw something in me that I at the time did not see myself. The fact that despite my present circumstances I was capable of shattering all the low societal expectations placed on me. Statistics claim disabled people are not viewed as valuable as other non-disabled individuals. Statistics also claim teenage mothers will be low wage earners due to their lack of education. However thanks to my advisor Daniel Langford I am now a part of a different statistical group. The individuals who despite the obstacles, hardships and adversity have managed to beat the odds. Beginning in May of 2017 I will officially beat the odds by walking with my fellow peers as a proud graduate and representative of the EOF program and the many marginalized individuals who were once shunned by society. Moreover, I will be pursuing my bachelor degree in Human Services so that I may dedicate myself to helping those who are most

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

Today, on November 10, 2015, I had the opportunity to attend Hopkins County Central High School and the privilege of interviewing Mrs. Kelly Grimes. Mrs. Grimes went to Murray State and obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture/Business. After obtaining her degree, she worked one year and then was laid off. Mrs. Grimes later pursued the Nursing Program at Madisonville Community College. Two years later she acquired a Staph infection in her leg and almost lost it. A year and 11 surgeries later she was told she couldn 't be on her feet so she went back to obtained her first Master’s degree in Mild to Moderate Disabilities. She then obtained her Rank 1 in Moderate to Severe Disabilities. She worked as an Assistant while finishing her degrees. I feel that Mrs. Grimes is a prime example of a great teacher and very great candidate for these following questions. And here are the answers she gave me:

I plan to continue the mission of the National Health Service Corp (NHSC) by serving those most in need. Ever since I was in nursing school, I have had an interest in helping those most in need. I worked in a hospital setting after graduation and found myself being pulled to find help for patients that did not have access to basic needs. Soon after, I worked in home health. This was an opportunity to see patients in their home and I found out quickly who the most vulnerable of our patients were. I loved being able to assist my patients in finding resources to pay for medications, wheelchair ramps, and even heat during the cold months. A couple of jobs later, I found out there was a medical ministry in my community and decided to volunteer.

This prestigious $500 award is given to students eager to obtain the ability to think critically, possess effective communication, exhibit integrity and demonstrate preparedness for success.

I am currently a sophomore undergraduate Marketing major and Digital Studies minor. If I receive the scholarship the financial contributions NSCS has provided will be of great assistance in paying my educational expenses. I plan to study aboard in Spain over the summer to study Spanish and International Business. With help from the generous scholarship, I will be one step closer to achieving my educational and career goals. I believe I deserve to earn the scholarship because my involvement at the University of Mary Washington depicts my dedication and persistence in giving back to the school and the community while putting my education to good use. One way in which I am using my education to enrich my time at UMW is through my work with Community Outreach and Resources. My time at COAR has given me a deep appreciation for how volunteerism

? My life experiences have molded me into a patient, emotionally matured and readily ready to, not only, sympathize with people, especially the disabled, but to also genuinely empathize with them in their daily struggles to live their dream life.

My family has always fostered the importance of community within me. Every week for Sunday dinner my entire family gathered at my grandparents to eat, catch-up, but most importantly reflect on current events. This tradition brought my family together, and when I was ten we decided to turn our tradition into service. As our way of giving back we chose to cook meals at the Ronald McDonald House Southern New Jersey because it allowed us to reinforced our sense of family. The service was more than providing a meal --it was our way of extending our family’s love and compassion to others all across the world who came to the Ronald House.

Having a keen interest in science subjects, I am very much motivated to pursue my higher studies in Science and eventually would like to pursue a career in Medicine in order to serve the community. It is with the encouragement of my excellent teachers at James Ruse, I have achieved a few awards on the way as I prepare to face my HSC exams. Here are a few of these stepping stones:

Look at a tree and tell me what you see. I see branches, I see the color green, and I see a brown stout trunk. If I feel pretty inspired, I will tell you I see the phoenix of the plant kingdom with its tall branches reaching out to the magnificent sun for its rays of love and wealth. Now if you tell me to study a person and tell you what I see, I could talk eagerly and most enthusiastically for hours. Believe it or not, there is no such thing as a boring person. People think differently, act differently, and survive differently. Some thrive on social energy and others from a quiet book and personal space, void of any social contact. At the University of Pennsylvania, I hope to study both deceased and living people. I want to major in Medical Anthropology and Global Health in the College of Arts and Science so that I can learn about culture and interaction in the globally interconnected world as a future health professional.

I was apprehensive about this exercise. I did not want to trivialize what it means to be living with a disability. I wondered; which disability am I comfortable doing? Do I have the resources? Am I capable? Nevertheless, this appeared to be a simple task and I have plenty of experience working with people with disability. I thought,

During high school my mother suffered from two minor strokes, a benign brain tumor; she still has slight paralysis. When this occurred during my junior year of high school my grades didn't turn out as well as I wanted them to. I made my mother's well-being my main focus. I knew that my half-brother wouldn't be able to help take care of my mother since he worked and lived in Texas. I took on the responsibility to take care of her and the two flat income property that we live in. I still take care of her presently and that is why I chose to attend Oakton Community College, until her health stabilized. I have been able to stay focused at Oakton with the help of the staff at Oakton and my mother’s health improvements. I have learned from the faculty

My pathway to educational leadership began in 2008 when my desire to use education as a tool to affect societal change inspired me to join the Mississippi Teacher Corps (MTC). MTC—one of the most selective alternate-route teaching programs in the nation—gave me the opportunity to spend two years teaching biology to inner-city minority students. During this time, I was also able to mentor first year teachers and obtain an M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Mississippi. The enjoyment of succeeding in both graduate school and in the classroom was tempered by a growing understanding of the harsh realities that many of my students faced. I witnessed the important role that administrators played and the challenges they encountered

218,390 dollars, the staggering amount of money raised my sophomore and junior year through SMAC. SMAC, or Stillwater Makes A Change, is an annual week long charitable fundraiser led by Stillwater high school students. Being a part of SMAC, through things as simple as constructing decorations, and attending events to helping organize a color run in my senior year, has given me an appreciation and awareness of the impact that everyday people can have on their communities and people in need. It is this appreciation and awareness that drives me to change the world for the better, specifically in a way that reflects my passions and talents.

I am currently working at Via of the Lehigh valley. I am an employment specialist that seeks employment for people with special needs. My life has changed for the better since I started working for this company. Working at Via has made me want to continue my academic career, and to concentrate on helping others. Making an impanct on someone who has a disability is something I believe that will be my dream job, and my dream career. I love working with individuals who have disabilities, and I love to make their life easier by allowing them to succeed in everyday life. I am a passionate person who was blessed with a gift, that allows me to work with individuals with disables that others may not have. I want to continue my Albright academic career and receive my degree because I know I will make a difference in the world, because of what I do. I will feel valued, and feel forever rewarded by helping make a difference in someone’s life. I also like the coaching/motivating aspect of the
