Personal Statement: High School Goals

Goals
High school, one of the last schools you’ll ever go to (unless you want to go to college.) I will academically strive in my grades and I will want to make connections so I won’t be lonely and I want a car so I can travel. First of all you need to use all of your strengths to your advantage.

My strengths are good communication skills, good analyzer, good eye-hand coordination,card throwing,quick thinker and good note taking skills. These skills are very important to me because without these skills I wouldn’t be very successful. My skills I would need the most are quick thinker, good analyzer and good note taking skills to be successful in college. Like if I’m a good analyzer then I can quickly find little tricks in homework and assignments. If I’m a good note taker then in college I will be able to effectively take notes and maybe pass the final exam. Communication skills will help me with a job application when I want to get a job and I need to use my communication skills to tell the recruiter about all my good qualities so I may get the job. Card throwing may not help too much but, it’s a cool party trick.

This question has helped shape my personal values and principles and directed my path into the nursing field. Growing up in West Africa and witnessing firsthand the sufferings and impoverishment of the people around me, I developed a sense of compassion and willingness to make a difference and help alleviate their sufferings and put a smile on their faces. Healthcare delivery and poverty are two major underlying factors in the challenges faced in Africa, thus, when I got an opportunity to come into the United States, it was my golden ticket to finally give back to the community and make a difference. This led me into the nursing field; I started out as a Certified Nurse Assistant.…
