Statement Of Purpose: One Jersey

Show More
Three years ago I co-founded a non-profit organization, “One Jersey. One Goal.” (www.onejerseyonegoal.com), with my younger sister. I believe this type of initiative makes me an ideal candidate for the UC system. I am a go getter. I saw a problem (soccer jerseys being thrown away year after year), came up with a solution (donate them to underserved kids worldwide), and implemented my plan (started my own non profit foundation).
Networking has been my steepest learning curve. Discovering early on that collecting jerseys solely from my teammates wasn’t going to be enough, I approached other clubs, high schools, and colleges from around the Bay Area. I developed a website, used Instagram, and started a Facebook page. Utilizing social media allowed

    Statement Of Purpose: The Davidson July Experience

    I would like to attend the Davidson July Experience for three reasons. First, the resemblance to college life will prepare me for college by offering activities, and adventures that high school does not provide. College requires a lot of independence, and this program also requires independence in order to be successful, so it is a perfect learning experience for me. Second, I find the courses very interesting, such as the Hitler and Nazi course, and the Family and justice course.…

    Panhellenic Council Reflection

    For the past year I have been VP Programming for the Collegiate Panhellenic Council and at the very start of my term on the council a Risk Summit was called for by the University. The Risk Summit was called because of the number of sexual assaults and hazing cases reported to the University by Greek Members with the looming threat that the University would shut down Greek Life if we did not change and fast. I was extremely disappointed and disgusted by the issues that were made clearly evident in my community, but found the silver lining in that, due to the extremity of our case, change was forced and made a priority. I desperately wish the issues that infiltrated and still infiltrate my community were addressed earlier, however, I am proud to say I was and am a part of the change. As a part of the council I assisted and often headed the change, including our improvement of educational workshops to be more relevant and…

Throughout the recent years I have realized the gravity of what he did. Growing up, I have realized that living in fear and anger will only limit me and I want to have no restrictions in my life.…

As everyone has their own personal goals and desires, as well as their own personality, each person's mission statement will be different so the best changes from person to person. Two people cannot work towards the same goal with the same expectations as those two people are different from each other, which is why each of us students have created our own mission statement.…
