To be prepared to tackle the complex challenges of my society, especially now that we are being victims to lack of adept leadership, I should put in an extraordinary effort, and have access to proper education and valuable resources.

Ever since I graduated from high school in December 2009, or my first official employment as an ESL instructor back in 2008, I have been pondering about what course I would like to get a degree in and my expectations form college and college life. I took a liking in sociology, then international relations for a while, and business administration after that, but when I came to know about PPE, it changed everything. It is so perfect for me and to my liking that I cannot see myself majoring in any other course. Because I know for a fact that I want to serve my society for the sake of a better future because I know how it feels to live in a dark time; I want for the next generation and my children to see a light at the end of the tunnel, believe their smiles, and believe life is beautiful. What enables me to bring a positive impact on a greater scale is a great leadership. Therefore, I believe in this modern era and complex times, PPE, as an interdisciplinary major, can prepare me

    Army Warrant Application Essay

    I believe I am fully qualified to become an Army Warrant Officer for many reasons. The first is that I feel I have reached a rank that marks the culmination of my operational career. At this stage in the Army as a Staff Sergeant, I continually fulfill duty positions that are above and beyond my pay grade in both the garrison and deployed environments. This is best exemplified in my recent deployment with 1st Special Forces Group in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. As a Staff Sergeant, I served as the Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force-Iraq (CJSOTF-I) Counterintelligence (CI) Coordinating Authority, which is doctrinally a Chief Warrant Officer Three billet.…

    Martha Nussbaum's Education For Profit, Education For Democracy?

    The academic system of current society attempts to prepare students for working in the real world. The majority of students are encouraged to pursue studies in areas such as business and technology because it will ensure a high paying job and promote economic growth. Lately, students have begun to question whether studying the humanities are worth the tuition costs, and if a technical or science based major is a better option. Martha Nussbaum, in her essay “ Education for Profit, Education for Democracy”, brings attention to how “the current focus on education as a form of career training fails to teach students the skills necessary to participate in the political process” (61). Liberal arts schools aim to strengthen a student’s range of knowledge through the studies of arts and humanities.…

    Personal Philosophy of the Student Affairs Field Reflecting on my personal college experience and those of my peers, I believe that the field of Student Affairs provides a unique and even essential opportunity to help shape the experience that student’s receive within the university setting. I strongly believe that students gain more from their college experience learning and growing outside of the classroom rather than inside. Self-discovery and personal exploration through extra-curricular activities and interpersonal interactions guide students through their academic careers and develop who they wish to become as an adult facing the “real world.” Student Affairs professionals help to ensure that each student begins their track to self-discovery…

    Personal Narrative: My Experience With US Government Classes
