since. Specifically, I enjoyed the developmental unit, which stressed the importance of a stable environment for a child’s wellbeing. Growing up, I was fortunate to have two loving parents whose support gave me the confidence to try new things and strive for academic success. The contrast of my own upbringing to the unstable environments many children experience fuels me to help children have the same nurturing environment I had. With a bachelor of science in psychology, I believe that I will be
The experiential exercises conducted in the classroom all encompassed a social element of communication, a collaborative approach, and a process of maintaining an internal monologue, a sense of self-expression, self-realization, and self-reflection. These unique exercises, albeit, very different from one another, all effectively gave the participant an experience that stimulated thought, challenged the persons comfort zones and familiarity, as well as forced each individual to deeply compare the
Because of my history of academic achievement, I believe that I am a deserving recipient of the IIAM Foundation’s scholarship. Throughout my entire life, I have always strived for academic excellence, putting in the extra effort needed to rise to the top. The effort that I have put forth in school has perpetuated my understanding of the importance of obtaining a quality education after high school graduation. Unfortunately for the individual looking to push forward in his academic career, a bachelor’s
individual. Throughout my childhood, I was fortunate enough to be exposed to a variety of activities in different environments. As a result, my passion for physical activity has influenced me to become a health and physical educator because I want to coach others on the importance of being active. As I think about my future practices, the one burning question I have is: How do I engage and help my students who consider themselves as ‘non-athletes’ or ‘non-active’ to grow a passion for physical activity
My grandfather was in the construction industry; therefore when I was a child, I had many chances to stay in a huge space surrounded by rough cement. Even I was such a little kid, I would look at the space and think about how to plan and arrange the layout of it. That is the beginning of my lifelong love of interior design. As I grew up, I gradually discovered that a space should not only be a place that provides a comfortable shelter, it also should be a mind relaxing and exploring place that makes
that approximately 12.6 million people died as a result of living or working in unhealthy environments. Access to safe and clean energy is another challenge the world is facing today. Many rural regions in India and many other countries still lack access to usable energy. Since my early days in college, I have made an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of these problems. My love and passion for the environment grew as I kept learning and as a student of engineering, I was determined to come up with
progress in my undergraduate studies, I find myself growing an appreciation for education and lifelong learning. I did not always know that I wanted to be an educator and perhaps I did not initially choose this path for the right reasons, but throughout this process, I have found that I have had a change in the source of my motivation. When I first stepped foot into the classroom as an educator, I was intimidated, I was nervous, and I had doubts in my decision to spend the rest of my life standing
My true passion is science and I believe I contribute most to my community by helping to further science and to make it more understandable and inclusive to youth and the public. In my sophomore through senior years, I worked at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science as an intern in the paleontology department. As part of this internship I helped to catalogue fossils, transport and store them, work in the field discovering fossils, and gave tours to visiting museum patrons. It was one of the most
of finding things we didn't know we were already unconsciously looking for", has meant a lot in my life. My decision to pursue the career in the field of medicine was a mere accident. This serendipitous accident triggered the latent passion that I actually had in the field of medicine. The more I was exposed to the complex fact of the human body, the more my hidden zeal ignited. Finally, this passion led me to the journey to residency where I hope to enhance the skills required for being a good physician
check on my struggling bee hives. Once I had gotten into my hives, I realized my hood strap wasn’t closed. It was too late. The next thing I knew a bee had started to crawl inside my hood. I immediately took off sprinting, at full speed, while trying to rip off my hood. Unfortunately, the bee had caught in my hair and the intense buzzing was ripping through my ear drum. After removing the bee from my hair, I listened to my dad burst into laughter. Even though I prefer to keep the bees out of my hood
