Being in NHS has allowed me to embrace what I like to do most – being involved. This has given me the opportunity to meet and bond with other students who share the same interests and ambitions as me. It has also allowed me to better my school and community by participating in service projects. I was asked to be a member of the National Society of High School Scholars, which gave me access to a community of students with similar interests and ambitions as me. Being engaged in my high school has not only involved participating in clubs, but also in sports and activities.…
Throughout the duration of one 's life, a person will face thousands of decisions. These decisions could be minor or major but nevertheless, could play a significant role in the outcome of their life. Recently, myself alongside my peers, were forced to make a multitude of choices that will dictate and guide the rest of our lives. These choices included: what college to attend, major, payment plans, housing, and rather to attend a higher level of learning at all. The idea of these decisions having a massive impact on our careers and lives is clearly perceived through the story of "The Other Wes Moore".…
It all started in senior year of high school, a moment where, because of my lack of effort at certain times of my teenage life, I was left with very few options regarding where I could go pursue my education after graduating high school. It is important to emphasize that although I wasn’t sure what exactly I was capable of, I was sure that I was capable of great things and high school failed to inspire me to become the best person I could be. I was disoriented yet self-assured. Luckily, thanks to some thoughtful people who guided me in the right moment, I was able to get in to the Macklin Business Institute at Montgomery College and I was given the opportunity to try out and get recruited to play for MC soccer team. The experiences that followed…
From this I also learned of a club called the National Honor Society. I discovered that this organization is really about volunteering for the local community. So I applied in my junior year but was denied for reasons unknown still today. However, because of this it got my head in the right place so I took it upon myself…
While on a tour I learned that during the school year there were always activities going on outside the buildings. I’m very involved in my high school and community. I have taken on leadership positions in a lot of my clubs to expand the student involvement. On top of involvement in my student community, I am also involved in my town’s communities. I have given speeches to politicians on behalf of my town and volunteered at places like my local nursing home.…
“No one has ever become poor by helping” quote by Anne Franklin. There is more gratitude and blessings in giving than in receiving and I have had the opportunity to witness this statement. My experience in the medical field has shaped my view of medicine and sparked my interest in becoming a Physician Assistant (PA) with a desire to help underserved communities, specifically the Latino community. From being a child to current day, I served as a translator for my mother whenever we had doctor visits. My mother would strive to search for providers who spoke Spanish; she felt more at ease when discussing her medical issues with a provider who spoke the same language as her.…
An unsuspected medical condition came upon me, which had me home and hospitalized, when most kids are trying to transition as smoothly as possible from middle school to High School. Then BAM I get hit with a medical condition that has since been resolved, but took away a big chunk of that year. Yet, I made sure that I kept up on all my studies and stayed on track with my class, even though it was advised I could take the year over. I persevered, but this experience made me want to become a Physician Assistant. I looked at alternative schools that could allow me to get some medical terminology and also EMT experience.…
Until I moved to the United States in 2011, I had spent my entire life in my home country. Due to this transition, I felt an immense amount of pressure since It was hard for me to immerse in a new culture, speak a new language, and build new friendships. But through these challenges, I constantly reminded myself of the reason I moved here and that is to attain an education and pave my way to success. So, I started looking for extracurricular activities that increased my chance of helping others, adapting to the new lifestyle, and developing new friendships that exposed me to many traditions and cultures I had been unaware of. Such opportunities have made me an open-minded person that helped me understand different perspectives that people have…
It didn’t take long for me to realize that high school simply wasn’t the right environment for me because everything they told me I wasn’t capable of, I thrived in at the college! I have held active membership for over a year at Phi Theta Kappa, Student Government Association. For my junior years of high school and 2nd year of college, I was part of a delegation that represented the school at the National Model United Nations in New York City! Community service was never a requirement at my high school, however after my summer internship at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, I realized just how important it was. The summer of my freshman year I was chosen to complete a prestigious paid internship at the Zoology department for the Denver Museum.…
Thank you for referring Margaret along for ongoing management with her airways disease. As you are aware, I saw her as an inpatient at Warringal when she had a left total shoulder joint replacement done in November and since then, she has done very well. She has continued on with her Seretide 250/50 via an Accuhaler, but unfortunately, is noticing the emergence of a hoarse voice despite good oral hygiene. Symptomatically, she remains very stable in that her exercise tolerance is well and truly greater than 1km on the flat, but she still does have trouble with any steep incline.…
My goal is to become a practicing Physician Assistant. My desire is to acquire the medical skills necessary to help people in maintaining health. I have done the research on the training required and I am aware that this requires a major investment of two and half year of study and practice. I am fully prepared to put in the energy and work required to successfully complete the program. I also know that it will need my ongoing commitment to professional development in order to hone my skills and update my knowledge as the medical science progresses.…
Career Field Report: Hospital Administrator At a young age, I can remember being set on growing up to be a doctor. The idea of working in a hospital was fascinating to me. I loved being around all the equipment and seeing the care of people who were at their worst, the latter of which being something I wanted to be involved with personally.…
The biggest struggle I’ve found myself facing in my years of high school is feeling inadequate. My high school is academically competitive, we host not just the creme de la creme, but the cherry on top. Teachers are constantly reminding me and my peers that this town is like a fairy tale, it’s a basket case, a rare occurrence. In my town, everyone drives Ferraris, Mercedes-Benz, Porsches, BMW’s, Jeeps, crazy expensive cars and everyone lives in crazy expensive houses and wear crazy expensive clothes. It’s always insane to drive to nearby towns like Dallas and Fort Worth and see homeless people or people not as well off as I am.…
1. Please elaborate on your past educational experience. What obstacles, challenges or relevant circumstances impacted your experience? In high school, I was far too busy with clubs, classes, and tutoring to get ahead to really cement relationships and go to parties.…
The factors that contributed to my academic difficulties were my family and my own personal situation. No one is smarter than me and I am not dumber than anyone would think. My family situation is very challenging. Not only we go through a lot of financial issues, but I am recently going through a phase that I feel like I suffer from my own mental health. My family keeps me busy and I appreciate what they given me and done for me.…
