UNM Personal Statement

Balancing the vital need for water and related resources with an obligation to protect environmental and ecological health poses an increasingly complex challenge. The Bureau of Reclamation manages CRSP and other Colorado River projects to develop and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner for the American public. It works actively with federal, tribal, state, local and non-governmental partners to adaptively manage the river system with an eye toward greater societal awareness and the importance of healthy ecosystems – particularly downstream of the dam through Glen and Grand

Over the past four years my studies and experiences have focused on issues surrounding water conservation. During the summer of 2016, I interned with the Department of Natural Resources and Parks (DNRP) in downtown Seattle, WA. I spent ten weeks learning about river and stream hydrology, including methods for measuring discharge and how human activities can change flow patterns. I analyzed multiple years of stream flow data from

Some people might view Cortez as a dead end town but Cortez has actually been the best possible place for me to be. I was in the 21st Century program at the Cortez Middle School, where I participated in curriculum focused on critical thinking, group projects, and presentations. Being accepted into this program propelled me to push myself out of my comfort zone and grow as a person which I have been continuing to do ever since. I interned for two months at Southwest Memorial Hospital, shadowing doctors, nurses, and hospital staff. Then I was accepted into Pinhead Institute which allowed me to do an environmental science internship at the University of Arizona in Tucson. I lived there with my host family for six weeks while I helped a graduate student of the university complete her final research project. My most recent endeavor I was fortunate enough to be sponsored by Empire Electric in the 2016 Cooperative Youth Leadership Camp in Steamboat Springs. I have been constantly pushing my limits and I plan to continue this path by going to college and becoming a forester.

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.

I am currently receiving my Bachelor’s of Science in Geographic Science, with a dual-concentration in Environmental, Conservation, Sustainability and Development (ECSD) and Applied Geographic Information Systems (AGIS). While James Madison University did

My enthusiasm for hydrology began when I worked with a hydrologist as a student in the NASA Girls summer program. STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Every Thursday for five weeks my mentor, Miss Aimee Teaby, and I would do something related to STEM. For example, the one week we would performed a science activity such as extracting DNA from spinach, and the next week we would do something related to technology, and so on. During these meetings, Miss Aimee and I would discuss what her job was as a hydrologist. She told me about how she was working at Yellowstone and the geysers. During one experiment, she explained to me that when ocean water changes PH, she saw that the ecosystem changed because fish died and animals and people can not eat them. This got me interested in hydrology, and over the weeks I asked her a plethora of questions about what her profession was about. I am very excited about this search because I want to learn more about what she does.

I chose my pharmacy program at OSU because of its well-known reputation in the field that has a long history of more than 100 years in preparing world-class educational opportunity, and educating pharmacists to serve with the best medical care in health communities, which is what my career focuses on. By attending OSU, students in pharmacy program will have a chance to work closely with exceptional faculty who care about interests and professional development, where the staff are willing to support and help their students with any issues, from classes to finances to personal. It is the open doors for any of it students interested in the career to advance along with the renowned Oregon State name. The curriculum at OSU is diverse. OSU offers a wide range of electives and countless opportunities for community outreach, leadership development, hands-on training, research and collaborations at Oregon State and Oregon Health & Science University to help achieve specific goals and gain

It was a great position that gave me necessary experience on how to manage my time as well as corresponding with others to plan the best event possible. Also during my junior year, I was initiated into Tri-Beta which is the biology honorary on campus where we have events that clean up local areas in Ashland. In my senior year, I joined geology club where we discuss current news and go on trips that allow us to further our knowledge of geology. Also in my senior year, I was awarded the Ohio EPA’s Environmental Education Fund scholarship to continue with my education in environmental science. It was a great honor to receive this scholarship and allowed me to continue with my environmental science and biology double majors that I am so passionate about. I am a recipient of the 2015 Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges as well. When I am not spending time in these organizations or working on furthering my education, I volunteer. I have walked dogs at the shelter, assisted with sorting items at Goodwill, assisted with the canned food drive, made toiletry bags, and picked up litter in the creek behind Fraternity

In addition to that, with the guidance of my Organismal Biology instructor, I was able to complete a research project in aquatic ecosystems, where I tested the effects of algal bloom in freshwater organisms. From this project I gained real-life experience of what it is to work in science and allowed me to observe the diversity of life in a dynamic environment. I was able to demonstrate my capabilities and knowledge; and in return, I learned essential skills like commitment, patient and

I have a passion for learning, which has been inspired by my undergraduate studies at UCSB. I came into college thinking that I would feel the same about my classes as I did in high school. Most were interesting, but nothing really made me feel inspired about learning until my first quarter Sociology class. I am currently a Sociology major and plan to double major in History, as well as minor in Applied Psychology. These three subjects have grabbed my attention and have made me truly passionate about learning new things. I am working to achieve a high GPA during my undergrad at UCSB so that I can get into a good Graduate School to obtain a Ph.D to further the passion I have for education.

As a nontraditional undergraduate student, motivation for pursuing an MBA at UNK has always been an easy subject to explain. I grew up in a small farming community with neither parent ever having a college degree. My mom stayed at home with four kids so the primary model was how to be a good mom and wife. After attending Mid-Plains Community College, I received a degree in dental assisting, got married, had three girls, and stayed home to raise them in the same small town I grew up in. It was during this time that realized the potential influence I could have on my children. I wanted to prove to myself and my girls that you can be from a small town and be academically successful.

UMI has it all: spirit, action, academics, athletics and social lives. That is what makes UMichigan so “grrrreat” (Think Tony the Tiger, speaking of Michigan)!

“Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is your best,” says five-time NBA champion, Tim Duncan. This quote accurately summarizes my aspirations to become the best physician I can. My passion for medicine was enhanced during my Cleveland Clinic internship this past summer. I seek to begin my undergraduate studies at a university that can nurture this passion and help me reach my full potential. Northwestern University (NU) certainly fits these criteria. NU is built for excellence by providing its students the resources and tools needed to succeed. NU would challenge me with rigorous courses instructed by dedicated professors. I am particularly fond of the small classes at NU because they tend to cultivate an interactive and engaging learning environment.

As a curious and excited student, my dream is to enrich myself in an education that is undeniably diverse and rich in culture. The epitome of what I am searching for is found holistically at New York University. I am a person who becomes inspired while being around others who illuminate that inspiration. After learning about NYU, it is clear to see that each and every person is invested in their future and they take pride in their school, which is what I strive to do. I believe inspiration comes from within, but when it is ignited it cannot be stopped. If I am given the opportunity to be apart of the incomparable experience that NYU emulates, I plan on being the best student that I can possibly be. I will work efficiently and diligently, but
