I want to be part of this program in order to expand my worldview, make new friends, and create new life experiences. I envision growing as an adult who will get to immerse himself as a truly citizen of world by experiencing the United Kingdom and Western Europe. I will take in new cultures, customs, outlooks, and activities. For example, when I come back, I will be able to hold a long conversation comparing about how Londoners procced their day, or even how they celebrate customs as opposed to Americans and Colombians. I see myself making new friends who will help strengthen my ability to adapt to different people, languages, and team-building skills. In fact, with my new friends, I see my networking expanding because I will be able to link …show more content…
I will change and bring back different outlooks of life to the different communities I am a member of. For example, I will talk to my friends in Colombia about how tall the London Eye is, or how much the Tower of leans, or even about how small the Mona Lisa painting is. I will go to museums, art galleries, attractions, and small street corners that will inspire me to enjoy my photography hobby. I will create memories through my camera lens of these attractions, and at the same time I will immerse myself in different cultural point of views that will help me expand my worldview. I will encounter all these experiences and at the same time, they will allow me to humble myself about the privilege that I have of traveling. I expect to encounter different challenges during my immersion. The challenges I expect are not grasping different slangs, not understanding how to get from one place to another, not understanding certain customs, and even being scared t ask for help. I will overcome these challenges by going up to people and asking them what the different slangs mean, how to get from one place to another, and what or why they have a certain

    One experience that shaped my character as a person was my part-time job in high school. I worked as tour guide in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Being a tour guide pushes a person to be open minded and curious about other people. I remember having a tour group from New York City, and we had a great conversation when we were comparing our respective Chinatowns. The conversation had me continuously think of questions and reply to their question with an answer to the best of my ability.…

    I exposed myself to new ideas and obstacles when I became an ocean lifeguard. Surprisingly, the hardest part about being a lifeguard is communicating with people from different cultures and backgrounds. For example, one beach has a large population of Spanish speaking immigrants. To communicate with them was a hefty setback for someone like myself who does not come from a Spanish speaking background. To adapt, I asked as many Spanish speakers as possible, how to say certain phrases until I was able to communicate with basic sentences to get my point across.…

    The sciences have been central to my life ever since I was a child. My mother is a veterinarian and my father a mechanical engineer.

STEM careers and education are promoted heavily in Huntsville, my hometown, as major tech companies and government entities such as NASA and Missile Defense are located there. I ventured out my senior year and took courses dealing with social sciences, both in my high school and at a nearby university.…

    As a Family Advocate, I work with families and children from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. It is important to focus on building relationships of mutual trust, confidence, and respect for diverse families. After completing the observations, the anti-bias curriculum is a must to reflect the culture and background of the families and children in the program. Many families I work with are low income.

    4-H, I learned responsibility not only for myself but to accomplish the task at hand, e.g. taking care, washing, cleaning pens/stalls for the animals at the fair. I may sound a bit redundant, but like in the FFA you will make the constant of friends and competition, and this friendly competition is what makes it fun to be in organizations like 4-H. I am currently the Secretary of the Rural Raiders 4-H club in Foster County, and I am expected to help record membership, attendance, and the meetings for my club. This last experience was an extension to responsibility, and responsibility is a lesson that nobody will not get enough of whether it is direct or implied. Some of todays kids do not know responsibility because they do not have the agriculture…

    I am a good friend of the Trossman family, but I am also a nursing student in my final year hoping to get a job as an RN in The Hospital for Sick Children (HSC) after I graduate. Over the past ten years I have formed strong relationships with families of children who require constant and complex medical care. Jacob Trossman and Taylor, Cole and Brody Florence are just the few I can name with permission. Prior to nursing school, the parents taught me the skills and knowledge needed to perform each child's needs in order to maintain safety as a priority during our outings. I was able to take them to the park, Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) and even sleepovers at my house without their parents being constantly worried how their children would manage without them nearby.…

    My pursuit of a medical degree is greatly strengthened by the Columbia University Public Health Scholars Program (SPHSP). Prior to matriculation from the program my source of motivation held no true direction, I wanted to simply “help people”. During SPHSP I was exposed to federally qualified health centers (FQHC) and my eyes were opened to new medium to help people. I admired the measures that FQHC put in place to effectively serve a population of people that, under normal circumstances, would not be able pursue healthcare. FQHCs aligned closely to the sense of equity that I began to develop as I was exposed to communities suffering from health disparities over the course of the internship.…

    I yearned to view the world in a different perspective. I aim far beyond just experiencing the world first hand, seeing it through multiple lenses, and watching how it runs in the background. In fact, what I desire is to see where I must stand to give my maximum contribution to the global industry and multicultural understanding--a purpose I know I must serve. And this was what drove me to fly 8,500 miles from the Pearl of the Orient to the Land of the Free.…
