I am interesting in applying to PLFSOM because I have a desire to ultimately become a primary care physician that works in underserved communities. Coming from a rural area, I know what a lack of providers in a region can do to a community. I have spent a lot of time in border towns since my dads family is originally from Mexico and I have been able to see first hand that even the biggest of border towns still has a very big proportion of their population that is underserved. Right now, I already use my Spanish to help the Spanish speaking patients that we see at our clinic but my Spanish medical terminology is not as strong as I would like. Being able to get my medical education from a school so close to the border would help me become the…
Senior Brag Sheet Career Choice: I plan to double major in mechanical engineering and finance, but still face some uncertainty in this plan. My interests developed mainly from the push of my parents. Ever since I was a child, the overarching career I was pushed towards was engineer or doctor, so I pushed myself to learn topics that would better support these ideas. Classes such as Scitech gave me an understanding of what engineers do which provided me with a great deal of interest. Other clubs such as Science Olympiad and TEAMS have also given me experiences that have fostered this interest in engineering with competitions and processes of creating something.…

Star Journal Year 1: Today my nebula started collapsing. A star a few light years away exploded in a supernova, which started my formation process. I’m feeling changes in my gravitational pull, I think it’s getting stronger. I’m so excited, in a few million years, I’m going to be a protostar! I can feel all of the gas and dust starting to form around me, slowly condensing.…
My stupid project. 9th grade the year we read books and write pointless papers so here is another one. This year the class of 2020 read mice and men. The book is when some big and little guy leave their home city because the big guy is not right in the head one day he grabs a lady's dress because it's pretty and she thinks she's getting raped.…
My Personal Goal Statement Every day I wake up, I ask myself how I can make a difference. 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.…
I believe in America. Here, Freedom rings, opinions run rapid and we are brave. That being said, in an ideal world there would most definitely be room for improvement. This country is not what our founding fathers envisioned two hundred twenty eight years ago. My vision for America would be complete equality, complete acceptance, and for everyone to be grateful for what they have, instead of worrying about what they do not.…
I have been Graphic Designing for about two months as of now, and I believe that I am on my way to becoming a good graphic designer. My journey as a graphic designer started when I wanted to make an aesthetically pleasing edit of a snow covered tree that I had stumbled upon on Pixabay. I put a Lorde song quote (sorry I love her work) in the corner and fixed up a few parts of the original picture. Though I do live on the virtue of originality, I understand that the original picture was not mine, yet I needed to start somewhere on the ladder of Graphic Design experience. I have recently been making posters and banners to prepare for this application process.…
For my final portfolio I decided to use a research paper I did for project one in the beginning of the semester. To begin with I wrote this paper without taking a careful look at what I was writing. I mostly let my thoughts flow and let my fingers do the typing. However once, we did the peer review in class I had noticed that my partner had a good amount of corrections written down on my paper for me to look at. After I got my paper back I looked at the revisions made and saw I had some sentences that would go off topic from what I was talking about, I repeated myself, and had a lot of grammatical errors.…
Statement of purpose -Nishita Vegi Ever since the fire, flight has been the most intriguing thing that evaded the grasp of man for decades at once. Soaring like a bald eagle on a bright summer’s day seemed to be the stuff dreams were made of, until a few decades back. Now, all of mankind dreams about living on stars. When you say flight, I think of birds.…
I began my career at a relatively early age of nineteen years old in the field of elevator maintenance and installation for Local 3 division of elevator union. Today, I work as a supervisor for elevator installation and maintenance for a well-established organization. While my technical skill has developed over time through years of experience, I find myself at a crossroads between advancement through further specialization or management. As I have progressed into a supervisor role, I am currently on a managerial path towards advancement and I see myself climbing the management ladder. As I go forward, I see myself pursuing a project manager role within the next five years and subsequently leading to upper management with a higher level vision…
Final Portfolio Introduction To be a good leader, one needs to be aware of themselves, have interpersonal skills like listening and communicating, and be aware of different leadership styles. All of these are intertwined, and lacking skill in one section does affect the other areas. I learned from this class that I want to be an authentic educational leader and the concepts that I have picked up from this class are related to this. For example, an authentic leader always needs to be self-aware and know that people and their values change over time.…
In 2010, I was a promising young professional leading public relations and marketing campaigns for clean technology companies. My career was thriving: I worked alongside the brightest minds in Silicon Valley, at a leading venture capital firm. The firm had recently doubled down investments in the clean technology sector and the solar, electric vehicle, biofuel and lighting technologies we invested in were poised to disrupt incumbent industries. My colleagues and I believed that these technologies would positively impact the world we live in by preserving natural resources and minimizing our environmental impact. The experience was incredible and provided me the opportunity to make a great living while working in a sector greater than myself, in something that I believed would change the world.…
As I reflect on my personal life I value life itself to the point I live each day not knowing what to expect the next day. Positivity is a major factor in all that I do to the point of trying to view all things in a positive way and leaving the negativity out the door. As a mother, partner, educator, and entrepreneur I strive to be mindful, spiritual, and conscious of all my actions. I value these things because this is what makes up my life and what I live for each day. My life is a fourth generation person and I relate because I “want to live, love, learn, and leave it like a seed with balance and joy" (Covey, 73) the quality of my life is more important than planning it out.…
Manifest Your Reality I think we humans create our own reality by our feelings, thoughts and our beliefs. We try to do what we think is right. When you want something in life you will do everything to get there. You will not let anyone get in the way.…
