Texas A & M Personal Statement

The very moment I decide to apply for a master program in biomedical sciences, I have concluded that pursuing a career in biomedical science is my life’s main goal.

“CLANG!” The cell door slammed open, snapping me from my dazed state. Two years ago, I was intoxicated to the point that I fell asleep on the basketball courts adjacent to my apartment, was arrested, and in the process of that arrest, ignored the lawful requests of the arresting officers. That night and the following morning I found myself alone in a cell with nothing but thoughts of incredulity, self-disappointment, and regret running through my mind as my future at Clemson University remained in question. In the morning, as I was being processed, one key idea, like a lighthouse’s beacon, flashed through my mind; that I was solely responsible for my decisions and the consequences they wrought. This is a fact of life that we are all taught from birth, but it was one I never fully appreciated until there were real-world consequences. That realization,

The transition from being a child, dependent upon parents for everything, to an independent adult is one of the most stressful times a person will endure. Legally speaking, 18 is the age when you become an adult but the number doesn’t describe the responsibilities and independence you must take on. College is seen as the “big step” into the real world and many people struggle in choosing where to make their transition. I would like to take my “big step” by attending Florida Atlantic University.

As a pre-med hopeful, my criteria for colleges has been the following: the college must have a strong biology program, particularly in genetics, as I plan to major in biology with a concentration in genetics and biotechnology. My ideal college must have a plethora of research opportunities, and it must be affordable for my family. Middle Tennessee State University has met and exceeded all my standards. After applying to colleges with steep tuitions, I realized that I needed to choose a university that would allow me to graduate with little to no debt. My mother had taken courses at MTSU, so I searched the college online and discovered its exceptional biology program. No other Tennessee state school I had researched before had as many in-depth classes as MTSU has.

Ever since I was a little boy that I knew about the value of education. Unfortunately, neither of my parents had the possibility to attend college. As I grew up, I became aware of the difficulties my parents passed by to raise me and I realized that this is not the future I wanted to have. From this moment, my focus on education emerged and became solid. With their love, sacrifice and time, I was able to graduate high school and get into college, even though money was always tight. Now, I am a hard working student that strives for his objectives with excellence. Texas Tech Honors college has a great reputation in the U.S, and around the world. Being part of the TTU honors college would be a dream accomplished. This would increase my opportunities

Trinity Washington University is like a train full of dreams, adventures, emotions, and fears, where the goal is to reach the final destination with the knowledge, maturity, and experience to change the world. I’m getting close to the last stop, even though, I’ve had many obstacles in my way, my self-confidence and perseverance has kept me on the right track.

Who we are is a concoction of our life journey, relationships, tastes, goals, and countless other things. I am a family girl from Mexico who is a first generation college student. My family is the greatest part of who I am. They would give and do anything for me and vice versa. Life has brought me to the construction science program at Texas A&M and I could not be more excited to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

The University of Mississippi is a second home to me, but also a place that continually challenges me on a daily basis to be better, to think outside of normal constraints, and to become a more effective leader. Serving Ole Miss as a student, and eventually as alumni, is so rewarding.

Going to college will be a massive step in my life, even graduating from high school. First off, I plan to major in Accounting and become a Public Certified Accountant. I have been told that it will be hard, just going to class will not cut it. You have to be on top of schoolwork making sure you have it turned in on time and more. I chose K-State University because I could see my future there on campus getting through it all. I thought K-State had the best Business program and so much more. Looking at other colleges wasn’t a bad choice but I couldn’t see myself on their campus as much as I did with K-State. Second, I want to get involved in groups that would be good for me. I do not know all the kinds of groups are on campus but I’m sure I will find out. I hope to start off with

Lamar County, Alabama. It is a place that many people have never heard of, but, to me, it is the place that I proudly call “home.” Lamar County is one of the only counties in the entire state of Alabama that without a Wal-Mart. The town that I live in is simply tiny, with one store and one caution light. Despite that, Beaverton, Alabama has transformed me into the young woman that I am today. By going to college and furthering my education, I will be able to bring hope, vision, knowledge, and financial prosperity back to my community.

The transition from high school to college is a notoriously daunting experience for students entering, arguably, the most important years in their lives. Everything that a student has come to know about academics, for the most part, are to be radically challenged. Many different factors go into the change, and any particular one can be enough to overwhelm any given student into becoming an emotional wreck. Whether it be living on one's own for the first time, drastic schedule changes, or becoming socially involved, these responsibilities are just three examples, among the seeming hundreds. However, a perfect balance between these responsibilities is a major key in not allowing the stressors to take one captive.

Baylor offers an ambiance where I can gain an exceptional education, participate in the community, and grow deeper in my faith— building the foundation for me to be an effective part of the society and world. Becoming a Baylor bear would open up a world of opportunities that will prepare me to gain a rewarding degree in the school of Engineering. While researching online I discovered that the classes are small so the students are able to engage in close working relationships with professors and other faculty members. I think I would benefit from this environment. When faced with educational problems I have always found it helpful to attend tutorials or discuss one on one with teachers or groups to resolve the problem.

My career objectives and aspirations include successfully graduating with honors from North Carolina State University with my bachelor’s degree, attending a prestigious law school specializing in business law and/or international law, and earning a well-paying job to match the skills I learned and developed. In preparation to attend law school and in attending law school, I aim to have the opportunity to shadow or intern a lawyer in the fields of law that I am interested in. While in law school, or upon graduating, I would love the chance to clerk for a Supreme Court justice. My decision to pursue law school is influenced by my desire to have a career that benefits society. There is a lot of confusion today on what is legal and what is not,

Becoming a lawyer has been a dream of mine since I was about seven or eight years old. I always knew that stopping at a bachelor’s degree was not an option for me, and that law school or medical school would be a part of my future. After doing job shadows at doctors’ offices and realizing I didn’t like blood or needles I soon
