Exploratory Personal Statement

Whenever the term legacy is invoked in conversation it elicits many different responses. What is it that makes a person have a legacy that will endure long after he or she has breathed their last breath? In my judgement there are several factors that enable a person to have a long lasting impact on others. There are several key attributes that I feel contribute in the greatest manner of developing a person into who they are and into the professional and the leader they were destined to become. As I take an in-depth view of myself and evaluate the abilities that I possess, there are areas I must identify to improve upon whether strengths or weaknesses. The strengths are my endurance, compassion, and leadership,

It is undoubtedly because of my parents, and their unwavering support, that I have decided to dedicate my energy towards helping others. Both of them inspired my love affair with science and medicine in their own ways, and not just through their support of me and my decisions. Before I graduated high school, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. Her doctors were amazing, and the support staff we met with were equally incredible. This positive experience during this difficult period cemented in my mind that whatever I did, I wanted to help people. For years, my father struggled with prescription drug abuse, before finally checking himself into a rehabilitation facility. His eventual triumph over his addiction has inspired me in ways he could never imagine. Discovering effective medicines that do not hold a risk for dependency is an issue that is very personal for me and is something that I am determined to pursue once I am finished my PharmD degree.

The date of the offense was July 19, 2014. It was a night full of mistakes and bad decisions, which I will never make again. The charges that I have been cited with are 1 Class B Misdemeanor (Driving under the Influence), 1 Class B Misdemeanor (Unlawful Consumption), 1 Class B Misdemeanor (Possession of Paraphernalia), 1 Class B Misdemeanor (Possession of Marijuana) and 1 Third Degree Felony (Possession). Since that night I distanced the people who were bringing me down in life and they ended up dropping out of my life as they only wanted to bring me down and I would not allow that any longer. Since the night of the arrest I have not participated in taking any narcotics or any illegal substances since. I have been extremely focused on my work and making

I bet almost all of the essay’s you read today will be chalked full of clichés about how “I hope to grow as a learner and as a person.”, “I want to learn as much as I can and get a good education”, “I want to expand my horizons.” Here’s the thing about statements like these they are all cliché and dull but they are all true.

Yellow sheets, a menacing term that I once thought would never become a reality, were first presented to me in 2016 in AP Calculus AB and have remained a constant presence throughout my AP Calculus BC and Multivariable Calculus courses. These have a reputation for being the most challenging questions you will ever face in the math classroom during your four years of high school. The yellow sheets were the first form of assessment that I had to complete that focused on my understanding of a concept and not just the memorization of formulas. This was a menacing task for me because I had never seen anything quite like these questions. These problems not only tested my academic ability but my academic perseverance. These multi-step problems encouraged

While writing a compelling college essay may seem to be a daunting task at first, I believe that the key to generating a unique and moving topic is dedicating effort early in the writing process to personal reflection on your goals and motivations. Often, in writing personal statements for colleges and other applications, I set aside time to dedicate to focused reflection about events or moments in my life that illustrate my values or identity. In terms of the mechanics of an effective personal statement, I typically utilize the “zoom in, zoom out” method, which involves recounting a specific anecdote early in the essay, and then demonstrating how this anecdote contains lessons that apply to greater aspects of your motivation or identity. Through

According to my birth certificate, I was born Austin John Penny to my parents, Julie and Charles Penny. My birth occurred at 1:25 A.M. on April 19, 1996. I was born at Spalding Regional Hospital in Griffin, GA. My pediatrician who took care of me was Dr. Jim Dunaway, Sr.

“Creative” is definitely an adjective that has been used by others to describe me and my aspirations. At the ripe age of five, I began to take an interest in the visual arts. This interest started with Play-Doh and Legos, then moved to drawing, crafting, sewing, ceramics, and then painting. Every day my mom would find me on my bedroom floor—in deep concentration—working on a new art project. She would simply smile and leave the room to wait patiently until I was finished with my new masterpiece. Each year, my talent increased and every art teacher I had could see something special in me. However, I always thought that my art projects were nothing special and just a result of my self-expression. It was not until I entered high school and was

You seem to have what it takes to meet your professional growth. The revelations your job's fulfillment needs, standard, and grow as a person what an awesome goal. You are a professional.

I have no previous ED experience, however, my knowledge and skills from ICU practice; especially detailed pts’ assessment, management of acutely ill pts, task management under constant pressure, together with my recent volunteer experience in street clinics in India would be beneficial for taking upon the post. I am keen to become a part in the A&E/ED and for the opportunity of career

I really want to start this off by saying thank you, Jenna, for being one of the greatest professors I have had at FAU and one of the greatest acting teachers I have had during my eleven years of theatrical training. During my last three classes with you, I have learned so much about acting and theatre, but so much more about myself. You allowed me to discover how much more there is to me than just what I originally thought. I was able to gain so much confidence throughout your instruction, and I am very grateful for that. During Movement this semester, I have experienced the same personal growth but in more of a mind and body connection.

I had experienced a lot of brokenness in my life until hitting a low point when I was 25 years old at which time I met Christ. This brokenness resulted from childhood and early life problems and from my own choices. I had encountered God at the age of 14, in a personal moment of crisis. During this difficult situation the Holy Spirit spoke to me, assuring me of the ability to overcome the situation, that God would not give me more than I could bear. I did not know it was the Spirit at the time, but I somehow knew that what I heard was true and that it encouraged and strengthened me to make a difficult choice in that moment. However, I did not become a Christian until 11 years later. As more evidence to me of God’s love, guidance, and power, I heard this same message after all those years and the Spirit used it to lead me to Christ. One day at work my supervisor, a female Pentecostal evangelist, was ministering to a co-worker, where she explained to her how God loved her, had looked out for her in all

I am a PhD student at the department of sociology at Loyola University Chicago. I am currently working on my qualification exams. I will take my exams at two subfields of sociology 1) sociology of religion and 2) social theory / qualitative research methods. I finish my first exam at Fall 2015, then the second exam at Spring 2016. I will defense my proposal at summer 2016.

In our lives, we have to make important choices, and sometimes our choices determine our happiness or sadness. As a Filipino, our families tell us to do well in school and to not make bad choices because they want us to be successful and to have ethical morals. Growing up as a Catholic, I was taught to be obedient and respectful to my family which has shaped who I am today. Yet, I too made some mistakes, and I learned from the consequences. From my failures, I learned to not belittle myself, but to grow.

I have a wide range of skills and knowledge that I have acquired throughout my personal and professional life. I can communicate with different types of people regardless of age, race or class. I have accessed a huge range of courses that have enabled me to develop interpersonal skills including negotiation and dealing with different types of people and personalities. I also have the knowledge, drive and enthusiasm to work alone when required as I am self-motivated and can meet targets and deadlines. I believe that challenges are best met positively by developing and improving knowledge and skills and through professional reflective dialogue that leads to change. I am very hard-working and reliable. I work well under pressure achieving a high standard of work. I have practical and organisational skills and I can find solutions to problems and face challenges confidently.
