I hope to get an opportunity to improve the University of Redlands community by getting the youth in the area schools excited about learning an instrument. It is my belief that playing a musical instrument brings out things in you that you never thought possible. If it wasn't for my joining orchestra in fourth grade, I believe I would be a completely different person than I am today. My dream is to make sure that I can help as many kids as possible find themselves through music.…
I am interested in volunteering at California Hospital Medical Center because it offers me experience I can not get anywhere else. As a minor in college pursuing a career in medicine, it is difficult to find a hospital that will allow me to watch the different specialities in medicine. At California Hospital Medical Center, I can watch doctors do what they are best at, and see the difference they make first hand. Additionally, California Hospital Medical Center offers a variety of services, and it is close to my college. Getting to California Hospital Medical Center will not take long, and I can get there by public transportation.…
There was never a dull moment due to the wide range of diversity, talent, and personalities of students. I made amazing lifelong friends that appreciated my presence, ideas, and personality. The entire student body participated in deep discussions over a wide range of topics including beliefs, injustice, and conflicts in our society. Everyone treated other’s contributions with respect and consideration of their ideas and views. Each discussion and activity opened my eyes to recognize meaningful things that society normally overlooked.…
On Wednesday, September 21st, the junior and senior class of my school went to Franklinton High School—where we were introduced to post-secondary institutions such as state universities and local community colleges. I admittedly already had a fair idea of what I planned on doing after school. My “carefully thought-out plan” was this: I would go to Northshore Technical Community College in the summer to get my CNA so that I can gain the patient-care experience necessary for my later plans for college. I would then attend LSU for four years and earn a bachelor’s in dietetics, and possibly minor in psychology. Afterward, I would attend a PA school somewhere within the US—possibly the one at LSU.…
The University of Chicago satisfies my desire for a particular type of learning environment, community and future in many ways. As Chicago native a biracial woman, I see the strides and succeess happening every day and can’t wait to take my part in that progress for equality, empathy and empowerment in my beloved city. It’s no secret Chicago has a history of struggle in the areas of female empowerment in the workplace, cultural acceptance and socio-economic segration. But it’s also true that Chicago also can stand proud on its reputation of effort and achievement. Chicago is a city that that dreams big and tries.…
When I was a young girl, I was always changing what I wanted to be when I grew older. I entertained several ideas ranging from princess to President. It was not until I came into adulthood that I realized my passion was with helping better our society; more specifically, bettering our younger generations. I went through several rough patches to come to this conclusion, but once my decision was made, I was convinced I had chosen exactly what I was meant to. I plan to pursue a double Masters of Social Work and my Juris Doctor so that I may become a Child’s Advocate.…
UWC is a one in a lifetime experience. I am aware that it values compassion, service, integrity, respect and difference. For that, i would be more than proud to be a part of such a community. UWC colleges offer a lot to ensure that the future is in safe hands, that we as individuals are driven by the need to nurse the earth’s wounds before they scar, to offer a hand to those in need, to be the pillars of the earth. I believe that i can fit into this community and that i can succeed in satisfying the missions and values of UWC, as i am hell-bent on making a difference in what our world has come to be.…
I’m always stuck by people working in health care profession because they make far-reaching effect on medical field and bring new hopes to people’s lives. Since there are still numerous unknown in scientific field, and a bunch of innovative people are highly needed to explore the mystery of science.

In order to graduate from the University of Mary with a psychology degree, students must take a Senior Capstone, during which a volunteer experience must be completed. Volunteer experience must be completed because one of the key elements of the human service field is social change, which can occur through volunteer work. Not only is volunteer work a key element of the human service field, it also allows students to give back to the community and to grow in a way that might be out of one’s comfort zone. While giving back to the community is enough reason alone to do volunteer work, there are also a few added bonuses like it allows the individual to gain experience in certain work and can help create networking opportunities. This paper will…
I want to see past the invisible confines of high school that have limited me from achieving more. Tulane's advising specialists can guide me in navigating how much I can undertake at one time while still exceeding the expectations I have of myself. I want to contribute something to the world, and Tulane is where I want to to start. At the root of global improvement in is public service, an facet of Tulane that is incorporated into the curriculum because of its value. Tulane is ideal place to discover how I can advance social movements to alleviate poverty and instill gender equality, both domestically and internationally.…
My education background currently consists of a High School diploma in June 2012, along with a Bachelor of Science degree from Kutztown University in May 2016. During my undergrad experience at Kutztown University my primary education of study was clinical psychology and sociology. However I was also involved in many activities that contribute to my learning along with additional extracurricular activities I roughly enjoyed throughout not only my college experience, but also throughout my high school education as well. Some activities I pursued within my undergrad career that interacted with my educational and academic interest included, becoming a research assistant for a professor on campus and joining the Kutztown University Psychology…
The University of Central Florida has provided me with many opportunities during my undergraduate experience. I have gained knowledge of crisis management, the power of mentorship, appreciate the effectiveness of a positive attitude and developed the desire to learn inside and outside of the classroom setting. I have been able to grow as a leader in Housing and Residence Life, Greek Life and Victim Services. These departments have taught me to be a better leader, but have also given me the skills to prepare for a Masters level education and to succeed as a student who has a love and appreciation for learning. As I move forward into my professional career, my goal would be to work for a department similar to Victim Services, working with…
Personal Statement #1 Los Angeles. When most people think of LA, they think of the Hollywood sign, movie stars, the pinnacle of pop culture, and beautiful weather year round. What people fail to realize is, what Los Angeles is really made of. Though this world within a world is mostly generalized as LA, it is a pretty broad name that really stands for many small towns or wide areas that make up the city.…
I want to be able to give back to the community I am a part of especially in a way that brings young girls into the STEM field. I have always been involved in volunteering, as the president of the Society of undergraduate chemistry students, I have had the opportunity to participate in many outreach programs that brought science and chemistry to grade school age children. As the daughter of a teacher, this is something that is close to my heart. It is also something that has attracted me to Duke. The outreach program developed by Dr. Kenneth Lyle is something that I would like to become involved in, as it is exactly the type of community involvement I strive for.…
It would be an honor to intern for the CIEE alumni program in 2016. I received information about your program from CIEE alumni informing me of the great opportunity of interning at Portland Maine. I believe this opportunity would provide me with experiences in constructing my senior thesis project, challenging strategic projects, and improving my leadership skills. I am a junior at Wesleyan College with a double major in Psychology and Philosophy and minor in Communication. My education at Wesleyan College has helped me develop a strong knowledge of independent research conducted with the assistance of my professor on “Distractibility of Sensitive Individuals when under Observation.”…
