USF Academic Affairs: Personal Statement

The significant academic challenge I have faced, is my learning disability. in all my life I have this challenge, and I can’t run from these struggles. The struggles are from reading to math, and from math going into memory issues that I have to struggle with all my life.

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.

Completing the Ph.D. degree in Public Health at the prestigious University of Florida would help my future endeavors in the healthcare field immensely. While attending UF, my goal is to conduct research in infectious diseases, focusing on how to reduce the frequency of their acquisition and transmission. My research would revolve around the patient’s safety; how to reduce the risk of patient’s becoming infected with diseases while in the care of healthcare professionals by looking at changes in the practices of the professionals and the facilities to reduce the risk of infections. After graduating from UF with a Ph.D. in Public Health, I have hopes of working in a healthcare facility, whether it is a private organization, a hospital, or a government facility. Ultimately, my dream career goal is to be a Public Health Program Supervisor or a Program Coordinator. Holding this title will allow me to work with other healthcare leaders on discovering ways

I want to major in Psychology at CSU Stanislaus. I plan to pursue a Bachelor's than afterward a Master's degree. My dream job is to become a Councilor. I want to make an impact on people as I move through life. I want to make a difference. Community Service to me is the selfless act to help out. Even in the smallest ways one can be making our community a better way! Just offering to help someone who seems to be struggling to put bags in their car is helping your community. I want to live and be in a community where people care about one another. I try personally to be part of the movement for a community that cares for one another. I like to do simple acts as the one given as a example above. I also volunteered at a local retirement home originally

Before I answer the questions posed, I believe an explanation is owed regarding this request for admission into Saybrook. I originally applied to The Chicago School of Professional Psychology seeking a degree in business psychology. Since the program was not ready to start for another year, it was suggested that I take courses in the international psychology program. I thoroughly enjoyed this new experience with an opportunity to “think global”. I optioned to remain in this program with a concentration in organizations and systems. As I sojourned through, I was always aware that there was still something missing. Although I loved being part of the IP program, my roots are deeply entrenched in the world of organizational development (OD).

As a graduate student in School of Media and Communication, Pan-Atlantic University, I have acquired so many skills ranging from corporate communications, public relations, brand communications, advertising, Search Engine Marketing (SEM), advanced writing, public speaking, just to mention a few.

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.

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

My goals at Appalachian State University are to gain education needed to become a superior leader and gain knowledge about other communities and groups of people. While at Appalachian State, I plan on pursuing a degree in Management with hopes of becoming a community leader in the future. Management will help me meet new people and explore how others think outside of Randolph County. It is essential to broaden your horizons and develop interpersonal skills to become successful in the future. I feel like a University such as Appalachian State is an exemplary institution for learning about management, the way others ruminate, and meeting new peers and sharing ideas. Appalachian’s diverse community will prepare me for a career in management and success in the future by enabling me to express my ideas and learn about others as well.

I want from my college experience is to become a biomedical engineer and to become a better person of great character. At WSU, I want to take any type of class that will help me become knowledgeable to become a biomedical engineer. I am determined to use any type of resources WSU can provide me, to achieve my goal. I also want to join any type of club/organization to improve on how to be leader, a team player and to help others. I have learned from high school how to become a leader, a team player and how to help others. I want to better improve my qualities, learn from others, and improve my knowledge at WSU.

My story is neither the most adventurous nor the most interesting. I grew up in an environment, where opportunities were almost non-existent; I quickly got exposed to the rigors and challenges of life at a very tender age. At age seven, I was already selling household items with my older brother (Bidemi) in a big African market as a way of contributing to the family upkeep. He actually taught me how to persuade people to always buy from me which I found very helpful. Before long, I had become so motivated to succeed in endeavor, especially my academics. I was among the top five in my school at the time and was also made the time prefect for the whole school due to my discipline, regularity and punctuality.

My experiences as a student at UC Berkeley have prepared me for success in Vanderbilt University School of Nursing’s intense accelerated program. As an undergraduate at UC Berkeley I persisted through semesters of full course loads while volunteering in two labs on campus and working late shifts as a barista. Although my lunch breaks at work usually consisted of a rushed croissant with my head in the books, I will never forget those days because they taught me to thrive in stressful situations. Despite the heavy workload and time commitment I earned a 3.65 GPA and never fell behind in my research assignments or coursework. My dedication to learning, a positive attitude, organizational ability and time management contributed to my success as

I am uniquely qualified to receive the WCU grant because of my dedication to academics, seminary involvement and pursuit of holiness.

I came to Texas A&M knowing that it had a great study abroad program so I decided I would use it as an opportunity to travel before I graduated. However, for mechanical engineering, is seems that most programs are reserved for students during their junior or senior year. Unfortunately, I was planning on using those summers to earn internship experience, so traveling during that time wouldn’t be very practical for my career. So I decided to look towards a study abroad programs this summer that were available to freshman within the college of engineering. The reason I chose to do the Hong Kong Exchange instead of another program was because I wanted to : transfer engineering classes to my degree, improve my international communication skills, and ultimately to gain a new view of how another culture tries to solve a problem. But I didn’t just choose this program for its convenient timing.

My plan is to complete my undergraduate degree in Communications/Mass Media, and pursue a career in Public Relations or as a Media Manager. I am applying to Hofstra because I believe this institution will help to set me up for the rest of my career. I believe Hofstra is the university I need to attend in order to receive the best training and experience.
