Why I Want To Pursue My Bachelor's Degree

I wish to be involved in any way I can with this outstanding group of individuals that help make medical school organizations function in the most efficient and professional manner. I chose a variety of positions because I feel that in each of them I am fully capable of fulfilling the responsibilities set forth. If I had to rank the priority of the positions I would hope to be Junior Treasurer, Philanthropy Chair Assistant, then Social Chair Assistant. I am qualified for these positions because I am diligent, passionate, and communicative. This is exemplified with my positions like School of Medicine Student Ambassador, Student Council Representative in high school, and my membership in various organizations. Currently, I am member of African

I have been very involved in HOSA (Future Health Professionals) which has allowed me to discover and pursue my interest in the medical field. HOSA has health career competitions, where I was able to compete at the state level in Sports Medicine, win 2nd Place in state level Pathophysiology and compete internationally in Pathophysiology. At HOSA conferences I have gotten to meet professionals and learn more about their fields, ranging from cardiothoracic surgery to chiropractic medicine. HOSA has influenced my future in a way that inspired me to help others pursue their interest in the medical field because of that I became the VP of Service. As VP of Service, I lead volunteer activities including the school blood drive and decorating the Northeast

My plan right now is to work on my bachelor’s degree. That is the first priority in my life. Currently I am an E-5 in the Navy. I have a year left at my current command. I have a goal to finish my bachelors in the next two and a half years. I have a year left on my current contract now. In the service, we call the number of years we have enlisted for contracts. I signed up for 3 years and February of 2017 my contract will be up. I plan on reenlisting for another 3 years to finish up my degree and save more money. My job I am doing right now involves Intel. I have been doing this for the past 6 years that I have been in the Navy. I am currently trying to rerate. Rating in the service is what we call our jobs. Each branch of the service has a different name for it but the navy call what our jobs are

When college started, I didn’t know anything about how life was going to be or how much work I would have to put in, but I think I’ve progressed a great deal towards being the person and professional I want to be since then. There are many things I’ve learned since the beginning of college like programming and handling responsibility. This has been a short semester, but I’ve come a long way in my life.

Throughout my life I have noticed the increasing importance of a college degree. Without knowledge or the luck of being born into wealthy/famous family, I would get nowhere and face the same struggles as my parents and many other Americans. Furthermore, my willpower, determination, and want of knowledge have led down this path. I am furthering my education to one day become a person that can heal the wounds of others while making them to be more accepting of others.

As a transfer student, I took the required classes for my major that are equivalent to the universities’ classes and even decided to stay another year to finish all the classes to better my chances when applying. But this will only really help my admissions, not my major. What really helps prepare for my major is observing and making connections with the people around me. All around, I can see all sorts of people working hard in order to achieve their intended goals; whether it's the shy guy in the corner contemplating the report we got back, or the engaging girl scribbling the lecture on her notepad. These people are my inspiration and my support, these people reciprocate their knowledge to me, whether it's studying for the next exam or sharing ways to ease anxiety. This is science; anatomically we are all quite similar but the difference is within our genetics, experiences, and ability to physically function to make each person distinct from one another.

“Estudia,Estudia aunque el estudio te abrume porque una mujer ignorante es como una flor sin perfume.” (Study, study even if studying overwhelms you because an ignorant woman is like a flower without fragrance.) Throughout my childhood, my mom repeated this saying to me. My parents know how hard it can be to live in a society without a college education; they never attended college. This saying has influenced me to later on in life to excel academically.

Currently, I just finished my first year of my studies at University of Toronto, Mississauga. During my first year, I have found myself most interested in Sociology (especially in inequality and social movement topics) and English (because I love exercising my reading and writing skills). I graduated from Philip Pocock CSS in 2014 with top honours as an Ontario Scholar, and with Proficiency Awards in Canadian and International Law, English, and Philosophy, as well as with an Extended French Certificate. I am of Polish descent, I speak English, Polish, and French, and I identify as queer. I am a feminist in the purest definition of the word, in that I believe in "the advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men" (Oxford English

Before I left the military, I was hired by the Department of Justice FBI as an Intelligence Analyst and transferred to the office in San Juan, PR. I completed two different schools at the FBI Quantico Academy and several courses and certifications. After 6 years at the agency I decided to leave my job to complete my Master’s Degree. At this moment I have 3 courses left to complete the Master’s Degree in Human Resources

Business appealed to me from a young age. As I grew up my parents and Grandfather were very involved in business, each having their own businesses. Over the years I have been lucky enough to work for them in their companies, which has enabled me to get a better and closer look at some of the aspects which are involved in running a business. Last summer I was able to work as a Purchase Ledger Clerk in my Grandfathers company due to one of the employees going on maternity leave. I really enjoyed this as it granted me invaluable experience and also boosted my determination to study and involve myself in the world of business.

I have chosen to obtain a degree in computer science at this point in my life to gain the competitive edge and secure my future in my current career. I was raised working class poor my entire life. No one encouraged or put emphasis on getting a college education or for that matter even good grades. The expectation was that you just worked hard to get by. When I was 18 I began working at an electronics manufacturing company. I worked my way from the assembly line to my current position of Systems Technician for the company. My co-workers are all college graduates so I decided rather than to feel ashamed for not having a degree, I would take that challenge and get my degree. So at 41 here I am attending my first college class. Obtaining a college

Another motivation was when my neurosurgeon speculated my ability of returning back to school to complete my bachelor’s degree. My family has always been supportive and I credit their unconditional love and support to face my injury and to believe in myself. In 1996, my mother and sisters went to my graduation to witness me receiving my bachelor’s degree.

Building upon this framework, I continued being a leader throughout medical school. My medical school class elected me as president each of the four years. In this capacity, I worked tirelessly to foster an attitude of purpose and service among my classmates, ultimately helping my class to raise over $60,000.00 for a hospital in Liberia. Over time, I became involved in significant projects with the University administration, such as chairing the Liaison Committee on Medical Education Independent Student Analysis Committee for Loma Linda University’s 2016 reaccreditation

As time has passed, my passion for the medical field grew and I’ve understood what being in this field really means. It means knowing how to take charge helping and caring for those in need. The opportunities I’m receiving in high school and will receive in college will help me obtain my primary goal to help others in need through the

The future will inevitably bring many changes. Changes to our daily lifestyles as well as the workplace. As a first year college student it’s a distant concept to think of your life after college or even in ten years and accept even the changes we can foresee. Pursuing a degree is only the first step to working in a career we feel will satisfy us for the rest of our lives. As Even Brande pointed out during the lecture if you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life. To accomplish this during our lives, he a posed the questions: “what are you passionate about, what are you really good at, and can it make money?” As we aim to peruse a degree and attain a career in our field of choice these prove to be important questions to ask ourselves at this point in our life.
