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. Both of my parents attended Tuskegee University and always pushed for me to consider HBCU’s for my education. 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.…

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to attend North Dakota State University. My dad and sister are NDSU alumni, so furthering my education where they did provides us with a unique bond. Additionally, not many of my relatives attended college, allowing me to see the difficulties in providing for oneself and family without a college degree. Although I know the next seven years are going to be challenging, extremely strenuous, and will push me to the edge of my comfort zone, the satisfaction of administering medical services to those who need them will make it worthwhile. Not only will I be able to care for others with a Pharm.…
Having lived in New York City for most of my entire life, I have adapted to its unique city life. People are always on the go - racing across the streets to their workplace, and yelling for someone to hold the subway doors. This fast-paced lifestyle of the city invigorates me. When it was time to start my college application, NYU was the first university I put down. I chose to apply to NYU’s Dental Hygiene Program in the College of Dentistry.…
My goal is to enter into TCU through the railroad mechanical worker track. I have a desire to create a career in the railroad industry. There is a high demand for skilled workers, and many young people are not pursuing this route, but instead opting to pursue college careers. I see this as a way to standout in the marketplace, and diversify my skill set allowing to be both a welder and a railroad worker giving me an even greater amount of job security as opposed to having only one trade. I have excelled in the use of computers since I was able to walk.…
I am a first-generation Latina student at The Ohio State University. Being from inner city Toledo, Ohio, I attended a public district where 80% of students received free or reduced lunch and the graduation rate was at an all time low of 49%. My parents had not graduated high school, therefore once college applications became relevant, they unfortunately could not help me. Through 25 different scholarships, I was able to attend OSU without any loans and truly believed I was on the right track to achieving the "American Dream". To my dismay, once classes began, I was lost.…
Personal Statement Almost everyone had a rod in hand as they walked through the main street headed for the pier or docks to try and reel in a tasty morsel for dinner. In my small fishing village surrounded by serene mountains and lush waters, I grew up distant from many of life’s amenities and creature comforts. Surrounded by family and relatives, I lived in a capsule of love. Little did I know that in several years, I would be on a plane bound for the United States, uncertain about my future but resolve in my dreams.…

She took along with her my brother Kenneth, barely two at the time, and my father followed suit a few months later after receiving his first job in Burlinggame.…
The Evolution of Higher Education Since the Nineteenth Century At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Americans viewed higher education as a vehicle for what Geiger (2014) calls “social reproduction” (p. 540). Cultural shifts and advancement in knowledge affected university’s curricula, mission, and student life (Geiger, 2014). Many of these changes allowed for colleges to advance and begin resembling institutions in the United States today. Scientific Knowledge…
True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…
