Statement Of Purpose: Mara American Degree Preparation Program

I have attended the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh for the last two years. I will be entering my junior year pursuing a Bachelor Degree of Science with a major in Environmental Studies. My career interests entail green energy and natural resource management. I was a young child when I started attending a summer camp program that emphasized nature and environmental conservation—ever since I have made outdoor activities into hobbies and continued interest in environmental sustainability. The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh focuses on sustainability through green building, alternative and solar energy, and curbing pollution.

I chose this program as my research because it is related to my major, and I can use this knowledge to further my mastery of environmental engineering. Nowadays, many people have a responsibility to take care of the Mother Earth, and “green” activities must take action from now onwards because actions speak louder than words.

I am confident that I am a highly motivated candidate for College of the Mainland’s Collegiate High School program. I want to challenge myself in my education as well as strengthen my character. Education is very important to my family as well as myself. I have grown to be much more motivated, focused, and determined in the past year. My grades have improved immensely, as I’ve personally realized how important and necessary it is in today's society to have a good education.

My attention was to search about universities and the opportunities they provide for their students. I looked for college that makes me feel part of a something big and not about me graduating from the university. After researching on a couple of colleges, I chose Texas A&M as my top university to enroll in the coming fall semester. I have always had an interest in engineering majors, especially chemical engineering, because of laboratory experiments and learning about new chemicals. I have always been waiting for the day I could become a senior to be able to apply to the university I had always dreamed of enrolling. Chemical engineering brings out one's critical thinking and problem solving skills. Texas A&M University is the best university

The pursuit of knowledge helped me love books and which brought me to Creighton University. Since my childhood I was eager to learn as much as possible, specifically the environment. I was fascinated about wildlife and how beautiful it looked. Being a native from Nairobi, Kenya; I was able to go to the safaris and learn about the different animals. These are the memories which I vividly remember and keep close to me. When I went back many years later, I was disappointed to see how my city has changed. This was disheartening because the city didn’t change for the best. This caused me to go for a minor in Sustainable Energy. The Energy department at Creighton is being cut back on and is limiting our class options to learn. Northeastern University

I have always cared about the environment, even from a young age. I am hoping that this course can further explain to me how the environment works, what problems the environment is facing, and what I can do to help.

At this point in my college career, I have reached the limit as to what the Miami-Dade Honors College can offer me. So far I have pursued an Associate in Arts degree in Biology and am looking forward to the next step in my education. My experiences here have allowed me to grow heavily both as a student and an individual, but I am limited in the amount of resources currently available to me. For example, I do not have the variety of courses and study abroad opportunities that four-year college students have. Hence, I have taken all the science and math courses towards my associates degree at Miami-Dade College, but I am left to explore other options to continue to advance my preparation for a career in the science field. This is because I have

I entered the environmental field because I recognize the importance of conserving the resources that have sustained my family and the members of my tribe, both culturally and economically, for many generations. As the oldest of five children, I feel that it is my obligation to not only demonstrate the importance of an education, but also teach my younger siblings the tribal traditions of Santa Clara Pueblo. Remaining at UNM for graduate studies has allowed me to focus on local environmental issues that involve different aspects of hydrology, and has also provided me with the ability to address widespread issues pertaining to climate change and water quality.

Education is a very important aspect to many people. For me, getting a well-rounded education will help me reach my lifetime goal of being happy and bringing that happiness to people by helping them. The spark of motivation came in a very unusual way. It happened when taking the mandatory Chemistry class sophomore year of high school. This class was interesting and eye-opening to me because it provided a different look on life. I knew after completing the class that I wanted to pursue a career in the medical and science field. Texas A&M University is my top choice school because I know that attending this school will give me the best education and it will also help me reach my goals in the future.

Even in my youth, I was concerned about the environment and humanity’s impact upon it. That concern developed into an ardent passion to fix or mitigate the issues we are bringing to our world. Thus my resolution to become an environmental engineer was born. However, most schools do not offer this program, and it has considerably narrowed my options. My search has led me to Rensselaer, the first college to establish an accredited Environmental Engineering program. While visiting Rensselaer, I spoke with an environmental engineer major, and she described her research and internship experiences. She specifically mentioned class lessons devoted to water quality. I have been doing research on this topic for the past two years and find it fascinating. Therefore, I was glad to see that I could use class instruction to build upon my prior knowledge. During

However, while many small efforts are necessary, large changes can be accomplished when individuals have the intent, knowledge, skills, and credentials to initiate, plan, and carry out projects designed to solve these issues. Environmental Studies would prepare me to be one of those people. After completing my degree I will be able to participate in efforts to solve many of the environmental problems Hawaii now faces.

Lifelong learning is a requirement for environmental engineers as technology is changing daily, more efficient ideas are being introduced and the demand on a greener environment is increasing.

I am particularly interested in attending Rutgers because it has a rich history of educating students in the field of Environmental Science. In addition, the Center for Environmental Prediction is an organization that shares my concern and commitment to the environment. I am hoping to become involved with the CEP and conduct research and lobbying in conjunction with them. I am also attracted to Rutgers because it has the best of both worlds from a campus standpoint. I can enjoy the more rural Cook/Douglass campuses and truly experience nature at places like the Bamboo garden and the log cabin hiking trails. Yet, just a bus ride away is the hustle and bustle of George Street and the College Avenue campus. I believe that by attending Rutgers, I can learn in a professional, experienced environment with access to knowledgeable faculty and leading edge technology and research. More importantly, I believe that the Rutgers Curriculum can allow me to develop the skillset I need to actually make a difference. Classes on solar energy and environmental tax policy serve as the environmentalist’s weapons in the fight for our planet. I want to use Rutgers as a resource to help not only myself, but the entire planet. When I think about the term “world-changing”, I think free clean energy for a nation, zero dependence on fossil fuels, and stopping the extinction of several keystone species. The world is in a delicate balance now more than ever. With the geopolitical scale shifting the way it is, environmentalists will face the greatest challenge yet to protect and preserve. Now it is my time to step up and do my part, all I need are those willing to teach me

Washington itself exudes an unexplainable feeling that draws people back to their roots, whenever I am there my relationship with nature strengthens. Furthermore, the area directly surrounding WWU will aid me in my interest in the environmental sciences; from mount baker (which I have tattooed on my side) and glaciers of the northern cascades (which I backpack through annually), to the marshy Lost Lake and the calm waters of Puget sound, Bellingham has a such a fantastical range of natural settings that my heart soars and my soul sings a heavenly song. This location indubitably harbors an environmentalist-minded community, so I feel that I’ll be able to make connections with others who share the same passions, as well as be able to actively participate in volunteering projects (and get some good vegan grub). Ultimately, my career goal will be realized in a place such as this, while feeling very comfortable and at peace with my immediate

When my family decided to move here, everything happened so quickly; my dad got a transfer from a bank in Venezuela to take a job here at Mercantil Commerce Bank. When he gave me the news, I only had roughly three months to organize my studies somewhere here in Florida. Moreover, it was difficult for me to accomplish such an extensive task, because I did not have any SAT scores, and the universities’ deadlines were already due. Also, my English was not elaborated enough to study; in turn, I needed time to improve on that subject first. That’s why I saw Broward College as an opportunity to start my academic path. I started practicing the language within their English Program and then started an AA degree so I could transfer later. This plan
