Why I Want To Attend This Class

The subject of Chemistry is one that deals heavily with a comprehension of the natural world and the individual details that make up an entire system. I was introduced to this course my sophomore year as I took on Honors Chemistry. As a student who grasps material best with hands on projects, this class fueled my excitement to be able to understand a complex subject using planned out lab procedures. From titrations to calculating the amount of copper in a solution, Chemistry gave me an opportunity to bring my own speculations into a class rather than being told directly what is occurring in a scientific process. The fascination of this class is what directed me to take AP Chemistry my senior year of high school. Even with the difficulty of

Being able to attend this university, knowing that I am surrounded by other future chemists would mean a lot to me. Norfolk State has a legacy of African Americans excelling academically, starting professional careers after immediately graduation, and simply, being successful. I would be honored, to continue the legacy of African Americans striving for excellence in at Norfolk State University. Achieving wonderful goals in all that I do has always been the top priority of my life. I will always be dedicated to nothing but excellence, and I am more than ready to share my ideas of chemistry with Norfolk State University. Go

As a child I grew up in the foster care system. My formative years consisted of uncertainty and confusion since I was not able to express myself effectively to the state assigned child advocates. During my time in foster care I volunteered to care for the younger children who had special needs. As I began to care for the children especially with neurological brain damage I became intrigued by how little science seemed to know about Special Education or effective treatment. At the age of eleven I started reading peer-reviewed articles such as Neurology journal and Exceptional Children (EC) trying to adsorb everything science related that would provide answers. Several years after I aged out of the system I had a child of my own who was born with severe Autism and sensory integration disorder. My son Andrew was non-verbal for the first four years even after extensive

Of the many classes that I chose to take, my two favorites were an English course and Health course. I may want to be a K-9 Officer, and these have few things in common with that career goal, but they were my favorite courses because of the professors who taught the course. Janice (Meredith) Privott for the English course, and Matthew Harpold for the Health course. These two teachers helped push me to better myself in almost every way. Mrs.Privott helped me on a personal level with stress and trauma; from her support she made me a much stronger person. Mr.Harpold helped me with my self-esteem, he took the time to help me when I needed it, even when I wasn’t in his class, just as Mrs.Privott did.

My goals this year for attending cbk are to catch up on my credits and to graduate highschool.I would like to also attend cbk because it is a independent studies school.I feel like it is much easier to go to independent studies school to do my work.

I have had the pleasure of speaking with ABLE alumni and Quentin, a current ABLE student. These conversations reaffirmed the ABLE commitment and supportive environment for students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. This niche allows for a rare camaraderie amongst the participants as they share a collective experience and contribution to the greater community within medicine. The ABLE Program uses its resources on likeminded individuals accounting for the unique backgrounds of students. The record for success that the ABLE Program has had gives me the utmost

I want to attend Archbishop Mitty because initially it felt like the right place for me. From the day I took the tour and attended the High School Information Night, I knew something felt good and I wanted to explore it more. The excitement in the eyes of the students presenting, the joy they described and the opportunities available to them was something I could not stop thinking about. Coming from a small middle school, I wanted more.

I should be considered as the Shoals Student of the Year because I hold myself to high standards, work hard, and have a deep love for the Shoals area. My parents have instilled in me the need to always do my best, and I have worked very hard to do so. I believe it is important to do my best in everything. I have always given my best effort, whether it is a good grade, the position of drum major, honor band tryouts, or sweeping the floor. This is something I have done since childhood. I believe that this work ethic makes me an acceptable and exceptional candidate for Shoals Student of the Year.

job. This class has gave me so many tools that I can use in my everyday life.

Learning the different things in my science classes have inspired me to become a chemist and a pharmacist in the future. My teachers have a great impact on my decision that I have made. Mrs. Swiney was my Pre-AP Chemistry and Forensic teacher for two years and has taught me almost everything I know. She taught the subjects in such an interesting and exciting way that I wanted to learn more. The classes were easy to me as well, so it just made it better. Mrs. Smith, my AP Chemistry teacher, made me finally decide that chemistry is something I want to keep in my life in the future. I understand it very well and tend to help my classmates with the subject. In the future, I want to attend a college majoring in Chemistry, and hopefully I will go

Vanderbilt University is my first choice because I want to be a pediatrician. I want to be a pediatrician because I love to work with children. I have heard great things about Vanderbilt and I want to do great things when I get older. The reason I want to be a pediatrician is that they get to work with children all the time. I am extremely involved with my church and its youth group. One of the most life changing

The CES school I would most like to attend would be BYU-Idaho so that I am able to gain a better education and do great things like my siblings before me. I would also like to attend there because it will allow me opportunities that I wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else. BYU-Idaho also contains the schooling I will need in order to become an elementary teacher without going through a longer process than most colleges. I also agree with all the honor codes and the way the school system is set up so that you are able to do what is needed. I also strongly support the religious side of college and think that is a really great part being able to be with people who mostly have the same standards.

I am a Speech-Language Pathology/Audiology and Deaf Studies combined major. Throughout middle and high school I was fortunate enough to be able to volunteer in elementary school classrooms. Many times, I worked in the second grade special education classrooms. This experience engrained in my mind what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. My favorite part of volunteering was helping the children with special needs. Many of these children were isolated from their classmates as a result of what was described to me then as a disability. As I got to know a little bit about these children I saw more and more that the label "disabled" that society places upon these children was not applicable. Deafness is a difference, not a disability.

The classes I took as a senior extraordinarily impacted my life. The teachers in my environmental class and my English class focused on helping us find what we wanted to major in. In the beginning of the year, I wrote a research paper on the current innovations developed to clean oil spills. Oil spills have significant damage to ecosystems and wildlife. I enjoyed this assignment because it was the first topic that I discussed in school that dealt with fixing an environmental problem. My Environmental class had an even greater influence on me. It left me better educated and more interested in the topic. One of the greatest impacts I had because of this class was a trip we took at the end of the year.

I have always wanted to become a doctor. It 's been a great journey for me so far and I have been gratified by all the experiences I have encountered. When I was younger, I had a cousin who was diagnosed with Down 's Syndrome. I rattled the blue toy in front of my aunt’s son and watched as he sluggishly stared at my hand. The baby’s symptoms were hard to miss: weak muscles, flat head and nose bridge, short neck, slanted eyes, and abnormally low outer ears. My aunt was trying to cope with the situation while devastation, guilt, frustration, and grief weighed her down. During this time, I was attending my second year in high school and learned as much about genes and genetic diseases as a high school biology course would let me. Even so, I held on to what little knowledge I had of genetics and gave much thought to the baby I shared genes with who suffered from an extra chromosome. In the course of time, the investment I made in understanding my baby cousin’s illness nurtured my interest in human health and grew into a passion for the field of medicine.
