Virginia Tech Personal Statement

When I was five, I didn't truly know what being a veterinarian entailed. As I have matured, I have done my best to ensure that this career path is right for me. In addition to taking agriculture classes to further my education in animal science, I have taken science-oriented classes such as anatomy and physiology and AP biology to learn about the medical aspects of the body.

Out of all of the skin care products in the world, your bathroom cabinet needs to be filled with products researched and designed by me. When I entered high school, I discovered my passion for selecting lip sticks, lip glosses, lotions, perfumes, and makeup foundations. You name it. After learning about the connections between the information in my chemistry class and these items, a light bulb went off! I maintained an A average in chemistry throughout the whole year! Additionally, in 2014, I became a student in the Academy of Engineering and Technology, which also heightened my interests in chemistry. In a science fair at that academy, there was a chemistry course where we made colorful slime, and during that process, I learned that I get an adrenaline rush when I am mixing different chemicals together to see what the outcome is. Majoring in chemistry at Norfolk State University will definitely prepare me for a very successful future in chemistry! My ultimate goal is to conduct research and development for chemical cosmetics. I plan to obtain employment at the greatest companies in the world such as L'Oréal and Avon.

Speaking is form of art that can either be a natural gift or a practiced talent. Much like there are several different ways a person can draw: cartooning, free hand, or realistic, there are many ways in which a person can speak. Nikki Giovanni’s speech “We Are Virginia Tech” makes people cry, rejoice, and move on. A speech is one form of art that can evoke these types of emotions from people.

I have an interest of being at a school where I want to be a vet tech. I would like to learn more about animals than I am now at the career center being in a animal care class. That would make my application complete trying to get into a school with vet tech classes. I would like to learn how to take care of sick animals and how the vet tech does x rays and all kinds of experience that I would like to see because i’m not getting that kind of experience at the medina county career center. Or to be a vet tech assistant because I love working with animals and it’s a type of career field I would really enjoy. I think really looking into the kind of hands on training with learning more about the animals I will really get a kick out of because that

I chose Virginia Tech for a few reasons which included The College of Natural Resources and Environment, the Appalachian Mountains, and being known as Hokie. The college of Natural Resources and Environment is nationally ranked and known worldwide for their academics and field studies. Virginia Tech was one of the few colleges in the area that offered Wildlife Conservation as a major and I was set on my major since freshman year of high school. My cousin, Mark Jones, who is the head biologist of the Black Bear population for the East Coast attended Tech and I am striving to follow in his footsteps. I enjoy how the programs is hands on and competitive to all students in the program. I am alongside of students, graduated and not graduated, who

I am passionate about ensuring animal wellbeing, have a strong aptitude for scientific study (having chosen to study all three sciences; biology, physics and chemistry in high school) and am up to the challenge of dealing with all kinds of creatures, especially farm livestock and horses, companion animals and wildlife in rural and regional communities. The variety of animals I encountered at two local vets and at RDA Australia: a baby brushtail possum, wallaby, red-tailed black cockatoo, lorikeet, rabbit, dogs, cats and horses helped me determine where my interests lie. I am interested in everything from preventative care to psychological analysis and complex surgical procedures with emphasis placed on commitment to farm animal production to address the current shortage of rural veterinarians.

There are a multitude of reasons I want to attend Virginia Tech, but being reduced to five, I would have to choose the college atmosphere as my top reason. I would love to participate in and enjoy Virginia Tech’s massive football games that are full of life and excitement. The school spirit would truly enhance my experience around the campus and in my social life as well. The second reason is because I want to major in an engineering field, and Virginia Tech is a stellar school for this aspiration. The college’s prestigious ranking in engineering fields is more than enough to convince me to attend. Another reason I want to attend Virginia Tech is because it is my ambition to genuinely love my career path, and I think Virginia Tech is an ideal

Born and raised in the small town of San Benito by a single mother, I graduated from San Benito High School in 2017 as a first-generation Mexican-American high school graduate. I am currently enrolled at Texas State Technical College pursuing the completion of my General Academic Core as also a first-generation college student.

I am a senior at Ontario High School and am expecting to graduate this May. I was born in Querendaro, Mexico and then moved to Ontario, Oregon. While in high school I have already obtained a few college credits at a reduced price, but even though I obtained them at a reduced price it was still challenging to pay for them. In my house, there is my two parents, my two sisters and myself, all living with one parent household income and some help. I also had the advantage to complete the Certified Nursing Program as a high school student through the Allied Health. Since I got the opportunity to obtain these college credits and complete the CNA program while in high school, I took the fullest advantage.

I would love to be a part of Central Michigan's athletic training program. I have a deep love and passion for sports. After High School I would still want to be in the sports field and I also like caring for people which would make Athletic training the field for me. I am currently a captain on my basketball and track team. I make others around me better and take on the role of being a leader. My goal is to graduate and get my degree. After that I envision myself being a strength and conditioning coach or an athletic trainer. I want to be a good athletic trainer at a college or pro level.

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

I do not have any experience in health care or veterinary medicine. A hobby that I feel like helped me gain skills that could easily transfer over to helping animals would have to be helping out at my local elementary school with the young children. Children and animals are alike in that they make noise when they want something, love attention, and enjoy being praised when they have done something good. They are different in the fact that children can verbalize with words what they want while animals can only make sounds to try and show you what they want. I have personally first hand seen how much joy and happiness animals can bring to society as the local elementary school has had dogs come in and listen to the students read to them causing the students to not feel any pressure or worry. I heard about Black Hawk College’s Veterinary Sciences program through Black Hawk’s website and word of mouth. Just knowing the basics about taking care of animals and children can really help me succeed. By completing this course, I hope to gain a deeper insight into Veterinary Medicine and helping animals thrive as best as I

After high school, I am going to attend Texas A&M to get an undergraduate degree in public economics and after that I will pursue further education at the Texas A&M Law School. I am going to get a degree in law so that when I graduate I can be a partner in my family's law firm. For the past couple of years I have toyed with the thought of either going to join the marines or being a lawyer but in the end I came to the conclusion that becoming a lawyer was the best bet for me; three generations of my family have done it and I would like to fill their shoes and carry out tradition.

Georgia Tech is the name I’ve heard throughout my family whenever the topic of universities come up. Many relatives have gone there, and several currently attend. In a way, it’s a big part of my extended family. In other words, I am interested in attending Georgia Tech for the moral and family support that I can’t get anywhere else. From relatives, I have heard that Georgia Tech offers a unique university experience. From extracurricular clubs to education, it helped find the right balance and also helped students fit in among their peers. Campus life is a very important factor to me, and will most likely be a deciding factor between universities. Despite the university’s location, rankings, and athletics already being strong reasons for attending

For as long as I can remember i've always had an innate passion and fondness for and with animals. In nearly all my photos as a child i'm always holding a kitten, cleaning a rabbit cage, holding a newborn goat, or sitting on a horse. My parents joke about how I learned to ride a horse before I learned to walk...it wasnt far off though. I always have known one thing though as that my passion for farming, 4-H, and animals would be apart of my future and career. To fulfill my passion and goals throughout highschool I have always been an active member of 4-H showing horses, dogs, goats, as well as being a member of the Junior Leaders 4-H club, horse judging team, and participating in non-animal projects such as sewing and photography. Through these programs I have met many people who have helped guide me as I have made my future decisions as well as developed many skills I plan to take with me to college.
