Personal Statement: My Visit To UW-Oshkosh

Decent Essays
Ever since I was a little girl, I have had dreams of going to college. I asked myself; where would be the best place to go with a great community and learning environment close to home? UW-Oshkosh was my first choice. Throughout the years, I have been able to express myself and learnings through music, art, sports, and more. If I were to get accepted, it would be such a great opportunity and I would not think twice about going. When I think of myself being on campus, I feel like I would be able to express who I really am, and help others find themselves as well. I feel like the campus would be a great place for me because, it's very much like home. When I had gone for my campus visit, I had instantly fallen in love with it! Not only was it beautiful, but all the people you're surrounded by being absolutely wonderful, I felt as if I would fit right in. …show more content…
Teaching and tutoring is one of my interests and skills that I have been doing since I can remember. I know UW-Oshkosh has a wonderful teaching program and I hope to find myself enjoying and maybe even working with others who share the love for teaching as much as I do. I have also found that you can connect with others, and make a larger impact on someone if you teach them personally. I have always dreamed of having my own classroom filled with students ready to learn. I hope to teach secondary school for either history or biology, I find that if you enjoy something so much, why not help someone else understand it as

The first job was a summer camp in Massachusetts called Greylock. During my time there, I was a camp counselor in a sleep over camp. I was in charge of a bunk of nine twelve year old boys.…

    I was slowly starting to fall in love with the atmosphere of the campus. Wayne State has such a unique atmosphere because you have a major city and a major university all in one. Just walking around the campus and see others walk around gave me a very different perspective then I was used to living in the suburb of Novi. In Novi I wasn't exposed to the amazing diversity of Wayne State's campus! Seeing all different kinds of personalities, clothing styles, and smiles made me feel like I would be accepted as soon as I started the fall semester.…

    My parents had this motto that stuck with me ever since I was a child: “you can either relax now and struggle later, or work hard now and relax later.” To me, this indicated that I should work hard in school to make my life in the future slightly easier. Throughout school, I respected their motto and I always tried to push myself in school. Getting straight A’s and taking as many advanced/honors courses as possible became the norm. So, attending a university that could continue to challenge me was always a no-brainer, which is why I want to attend the University of Chicago.…

    Becoming a teacher is a career path I came across while working for the Realizing Amazing Potential (R.A.P.) before and after school program. In my undergraduate program I always knew I wanted to working with children, but it was a challenge for me to choose one career path I felt my work would make a difference. The defining moment for my career was the passion I found working with special need students, and the hard work to help them succeed academically. Being part of the education growth for students with special needs helped me find the career path I fell in love with, and knew I wanted to continue to advance my education in the field. The passion of helping students with special needs is a career I love and allows me to want to continue…
