1) Throughout my high school and college career I was always involved in a minimum amounts 0f clubs and organizations always believed I was best to be fully dedicated to a few organization then to just be another member in hundreds of clubs.

While all the other children cried about the math saying it was too hard or boring I on the other hand enjoyed it. This followed me to high school and even then nothing changed. Not even the crying everyone still fell over at the site of a big math formula or equation. But it wasn’t until my junior year of high school when I met my physics teacher who is still my mentor to this day. He truly showed me the wonders and joy that math could offer. We taught me more than I could have ever imagine. We not only talk about what all the formulas and equations meant but after class, we would spend our lunch period solely discussing how those formulas and equations were derived which typically meant higher level math upwards of calculus 1 and 2. All of this while a junior in high school. This really motivated me to want to learn more. I grew to become a student who didn’t just want to know all the formulas and equations but to have a fundamental understanding of how they were derived and used. Even to this day I’m learning new and amazing thing about math every day and to be perfectly honest am not sure how I would like to utilize it. The thing with math is that it’s a very big field and I enjoy all of it so narrowing down a career is hard but what I know for certain is that it’s going to be in the stem

    Many people have different opinions about what they think about math. For instance, I looked up opinions people said about math and most of them were negative. One person stated: “I know a lot of people don’t like it. For me, I was good at the subject, but I didn’t really enjoy it.” In the story “Why is Math so important for kids to learn?” by Elise Wile, the author’s attitude toward Math is interested for these reasons: (1) she explains how it teaches logical and critical thinking, (2) she explains how it teaches life skills, and (3) she also explains how it supports continuing education and careers.…

    Before addressing why Pitt is a good choice for me, I would like to review why I am a good choice for Pitt. The University of Pittsburgh values their “talented, diverse and high achieving students”, their “safe and healthy campuses”, their unique balance of “fun and camaraderie with internships and other learning opportunities outside the classroom”, and their focus on “developing students into global citizens” (University of Pittsburgh webpage, ‘Prospective Students’). I am a well-rounded student who places priority upon academics, as well as a broad array of performing arts extracurricular activities, over 300 hours of community service, several job experiences and religious organizations. Therefore, if admitted to The University of Pittsburgh, I would fit right in with the ardent and accomplished student body, just as I would benefit as a person and as…

I decided to join clubs, be an active member of my schools’ s events, and give back as much as I possibly…

    Leadership is imperative to supporting the foundation of succession in our society. It is important that we exercise our God given right to utilize our sphere of influence to the best of our abilities. Although leadership may gain you more recognition throughout society it is not about the affluence one can acquire; leading is solely about guiding others down a path of success so that future generations can more easily learn from our mistakes to pass down to the next generation. That is why I believe mentoring and any position of leadership should be central to young adults to set the example for the impactful youth. I found my sphere of influence to be within the academic driven chapter of the National Honor Society which in my senior year I was elected president.…

    Frederick Douglass once said “It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.” This means that difficult circumstances are needed to become better versions of ourselves. As someone who overcame the difficulty of balancing academics, athletics, and involvement with clubs and organizations on campus, I personally agree with this statement. Based upon the qualities I developed during these difficult circumstances, Frederick Douglass would believe I’m deserving of a scholarship bearing his name.…

    My parents, facing many difficulties, had to make a choice: stay in Iran and attempt to survive the war, or immigrate to the United States to create a better quality of life for themselves and their future children. They chose the latter and, with much toil, travelled to the United States and began a new life. Growing up, a huge motivator in my life was the constant reminder of the sacrifices my parents had made. I have always tried my hardest to live up to my parents’ expectations; it only seems right, seeing that they left their lives behind to give me opportunities that they didn’t have growing up. I’ve made it a priority to repay them by dedicating my utmost to all that I do, but somehow my utmost is never sufficient and I feel that I am…

    For every organization that I have worked for both paid and unpaid, I have committed at least one year. Beyond any networking opportunities, I believe that building relationships with whom we have shared passions can lead to amazing collaborations and change within our society. It took me a little bit to understand the difference between being a member and being an active member because I can be a gym member without ever losing any weight! My first year of high school I was so excited to be part of the National Honors Society but upon reviewing my application they decided that I wasn’t a leader and thus rejected my application. At first, this was discouraging and I found myself contemplating the idea that maybe I wasn’t a leader but just two weeks later I was invited to join Phi Theta Kappa National Community College Honors Society!…
