I feel that by attending post-secondary, selecting and building a career would be much easier. After receiving a degree, chances of obtaining a good job with a well-established company will be greater and I hope to one day work as a software engineer for a major company such as Google or Microsoft.

College is often a word that can bring positive or negative thoughts depending on one’s experiences. The process of being accepted, maintaining high standards once accepted, and then paying off debts is stressful. Once adapted to college, the most important task is determining what you want to do with your life. Dan Rather once said, “A college degree is the key to realizing the American dream, well worth the financial sacrifice because it is supposed to open the door to a world of opportunity (“Quotes about College Students”).” The biggest question a student must ask themselves is “What door do I want to open up for the rest of my life?” For instance, two characteristics that describe me are athletic and business minded. As I searched for

I have a strong work ethic, the ability to encourage others and articulate ideas confidently. I embrace challenges and understand that the ability to learn from mistakes is a growth opportunity. There is always something to learn from others and it is important to welcome new ideas. I strongly believe these combination of values and traits underpin who I am and play a crucial role in how I interact with people, develop ideas, and address challenges. As unique as my fingerprints, the combination of the character traits that I have gained from my experiences propel me to strive to overcome obstacles, accomplish goals, and position me well to make significant gains and contributions as a student at Towson University and

Hello, my name is Samantha Bratton-Byrd. The reason I'm emailing you today is to tell you why I believe I deserve to attend classes at ATU this spring. My first year of school was anything but easy. I got married the month I graduated high school and have been on my own ever since. I've learned a lot about life and what it takes to make it. My first semester of college I was living and working full time in Russellville while going to school full time in Clarksville at University of the Ozarks. This was a challenge on top of an increasingly unstable living situation. My relationship with my husband didn't last long and I moved out early into my second semester. I was homeless and had lost my job. I stopped attending school without formally withdrawing;

Since the beginning of my bachelor’s degree, I have been part of the American Medical Student Association which has provided me with many opportunities that have been complementing with my pre-med studies. The contribution it has with conferences and workshops about the health field, being a volunteer at the VA Hospital as a translator between the physicians and the patients, the community service activities and the 3 programs part of the Rio Piedras Chapter; Dr. Clown, FREMS and Shadowing a Physician, made me realize how much I want to be part of the health care field. This Association also gave me the opportunity to become part of the committee as a leader of the Premedical Leadership Team which help me broad my experience in the health field while also learning about public health since this position works with the student community with volunteer service and improving health education. Involving my leadership, on 2013 I became part of the Air Force ROTC program which sharpened my leadership and communicating skills while giving me some of this experience within the program throughout the year that I stayed.

Growing up I was surrounded by my parents’ love and encouragement, as well as their wisdom. My family has been the biggest influence on how I view the world. In this part of the world I feel safe. I know however, that there are places where people do not live safe and children live in fear. With my education I will learn how to help these communities. I believe that St. Martin’s mission to teach students how to make a difference in other’s lives through the interaction of faith, reason and service could help me achieve this.
