Statement Of Purpose: Addey And Stanhope

Academically, I want to make the most of the incredible opportunity of receiving a higher education; however, I also hope to grow and develop as an individual. I will be also be joining the men's soccer team at Wofford College, which will present additional challenges as well as opportunities. College will undoubtedly present a plethora of new experiences and open a number of new doors and opportunities. I want to soak it all in and make the most of every minute. My ultimate dream is to work in a career that I feel passionate about. Ensuring that I feel strongly about my work is very important to me and I believe it is pivotal to maximizing my potential contribution to society. My greatest interest and passion currently lies in learning and better understanding politics, economics, sociology, and other social sciences. A career in public service is where I believe I can thrive and flourish. Whether it be in education, economics, healthcare, or any other outlet, I have no doubt public service is where I belong. Throughout my life, I have constantly looked to fulfill positions of leadership and I plan on continuing to do so in my professional life. As my generation becomes the leaders of America's future, I hope to be a leading figure that can assist in moving us in a promising

Thankfully, I stumbled across Acton Academy, which has treated me well for the past four years. It’s been a far more positive experience for me because I feel like I can work on what matters to me so long as I continue to work on the essentials. Because of this, I’ve learned to be a leader, a quality I feel like I’ve always had but never knew how to unleash. Something else that has been extremely helpful is how Acton has led me to become more independent since I have to figure things out on my own and I no longer have a teacher who will

I am presently a student at Buckingham Charter Magnet High School. I have obtained many experiences and skills throughout my time in high school. Taking several different Art classes provided I was able to express myself and show my creativity. Through my History and English classes I gained knowledge of the past that I will always consider in my future.

I hope to take what I have learned about the political system at Miami University and strive to get money out of politics, so the average person can voice their opinions just as much as any wealthy corporation or individual. When I run for Congress I want to fund my campaign entirely on low-level contributions from everyday citizens, to prove to the public and other government officials that they do not need to be controlled by lobbyists and special interest groups who have the power of the purse. My greatest aspiration is to be apart of a truly democratic society that represents the interests of everyone, even those who cannot afford to donate large amounts to their representatives. If I make it to the House of Representatives, I hope to bring about lasting policy changes similar to the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act, and I would like to see the Citizens United decision overturned. My education now will help me achieve these goals and be a mouthpiece for all those who will not get the same educational opportunities I have been

Opportunities I have been lucky enough to have. Currently I am president of The National Honor Society, Environmental Club, the Yearbook editor and Debate captain as well as a commissioner for the Bergen County Status of Women. All of which I treasure with my heart. In each and every one lays my blood, sweat, and tears. Those hallways have seen me endeavour some of my greatest successes and my even greater failures. But that's just the surface of what this school symbolizes and represents. Yes, I love participating in every single activity I do and prosper in, but it's beyond that. It's about walking through the front doors in the morning, opening my locker, and Mr. Colarusso announcing the designated block letter for the day even though regardless he knows I'll ask again at least three more times. It's about truly knowing my teachers, my coaches, and my advisors. As much as they have seen me mature, they have also been on the journey with me. It's watching Ms. Barrow's be promoted from Guidance Counselor to Vice Principal and still be so dedicated to my college

My interests and passions supplement my education in high school in a variety of ways. Show choir, musicals, plays, chorus, band, jazz band, and so much more allowed me to use my creativity everyday in multiple ways. All of these arts opportunities added to the excitement of coming to school, which naturally helped me succeed in my academic pursuits. Not only do I enjoy high school, but many weekend days have been spent waiting to go back to school so that I can sing again, or play my trumpet again, or just learn something really interesting.

I’m Breicen John Medina, I’m currently a Cadet Corporal and participating in Drill Team, and  also a Co-Commander for Color Guard for the Waimea JROTC program. For this coming up Promotion Board I’m going for Sergeant First Class as a LET 2. Being in these active teams it has taught me many things, being able to work with other cadets, and leading my peers. My accomplishment from the past year has led me to earn awards and also an increase in my knowledge of leadership and being a responsible person/cadet.

It is my hope to attend law school after I complete my undergraduate studies. I am also enrolled in Air Force ROTC. Experiencing life as a military dependent gave me an up close and personal look at what it means to serve our nation and I am confident in my choice to join the ranks of those brave men and women who have sworn to defend and protect the Constitution. It is my goal to join the Air Force as a Judge Advocate General and one day after serving my country, I plan to enter politics.

The lunch room microphone turns on.. BAM. Pizza Friday! The day that brings lunch tables together regardless of past conflicts or bickering. This seemingly insignificant event has become the most important part of the Anderson Achievers program. Many people I wouldn’t normally interact with have become close friends to me through small interactions, such as Pizza Friday. Anderson Achievers may not be changing the world, but it’s still a neat program.

Thank you for the opportunity of allowing me to be a finalist for the Daniel’s Fund Scholarship. I am a high school senior enrolled as a concurrent enrollment student at the Community College of Aurora through my high school, Vista Academy. I am also a first generation prospective college student with a Mexican background. Neither of my parents went to college, though, I know in my heart I need to earn a college degree; they are my motivation. I also know in my heart that I will be a great Daniel’s Fund Scholar because I possess maturity, strength of character, leadership, a well rounded personality in one way, shape, or manner.

My name is Tincye Edwards and I live in North Carolina. I am pursuing a degree in Masters of Art Degree in Human Services Counseling with a concentration in Crisis Response and Trauma. I currently work as a Registered Nurse at a local hospital. I would like to how to apply spiritual principle with holistic techniques in counseling and health care fields.

To being, I am in the TRIO Upward Bound program, and before I was in the program I did not know about anything dealing with college, I did not even know how to apply, or choose which college to go too. With the programs help I was able to learn about college by taking part in the Upward Bound summer program, which really prepared me for college. Without the program I would not be as prepared for college as I am today, I learned that I was going to need to think about myself and go where I want to go. Without the program I would not know that the college I am dead set on going to even exists. The program prepared me for the rest of my life, more than my parents ever had.

I plan to major in political science because it is something that interests me and I have a passion for helping people. However, in order to help people and effectively create change, you must first educate yourself and understand how the system works. My overall goals are to first earn my degree in political science. Then to complete law school, become a lawyer, and specialize in civil rights. As a lawyer, I will speak out against social injustice and provide legal aid to those who need it.

At the start of my junior year, I moved home and transferred to Woodlynde, a school for kids who learn differently. At Woodlynde, I am happy and feel like I belong. I’m in challenging classes. I have great friends who accept me for who I am. And I’m involved in several activities, including taking photos for the student newspaper and assistant teaching at my religious school. I also had a fantastic experience playing a lead role in Woodlynde’s musical, The Addams
