Statement of Intent Dennis Hisamoto, Applicant for the School Psychology Program In third grade, my teacher suggested I be considered for special education. Fifteen years later, with the financial support from my scholarship, I became the first in my family to obtain a college degree. Some would call this phenomenon sweet irony. I, however, call it a rush to judgment due to a failure to acknowledge that issues outside of school could adversely bleed into the classroom.…
It felt like a race against time. I was pivoting around my bedroom at the speed of light. I had a million different thoughts running through my head. “I need my socks and basketball shoes for practice. I packed my student council shirt.…

Personal Statement Almost everyone had a rod in hand as they walked through the main street headed for the pier or docks to try and reel in a tasty morsel for dinner. In my small fishing village surrounded by serene mountains and lush waters, I grew up distant from many of life’s amenities and creature comforts. Surrounded by family and relatives, I lived in a capsule of love. Little did I know that in several years, I would be on a plane bound for the United States, uncertain about my future but resolve in my dreams.…

I am writing to communicate my interest in your Newborn and Infant Critical Care Unit. I will graduate from Mount Saint Mary’s University with a Bachelors of Science in Nursing this May.

Personal Statement Jonathan Johnson, Malaysia, English Teaching Assistantship Walking past the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue still feels surreal. I vividly remember sitting in my Grammy’s trailer watching Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, inspired by his journey and message of hope. His humble beginnings—being raised by a single, hardworking mother and grandparents facing financial pressures—partially parallel my story and continue to inspire my work as a community organizer, public opinion researcher, and educator. Unlike the rest of my family, I fortunately attended college, choosing the internationally diverse University of Rochester.…
True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…
Baylor Personal Statement I could hear conversation coming from inside the room. Confused and eager, I positioned myself behind the door. Why was no one excited? The faint murmur of the next sentence cut straight through my heart, “Due to the lack of oxygen during your son’s birth, there is a high probability of him developing disorders during his childhood.” This couldn’t be happening to my baby brother.…
Ever since I was a child, music has been a big and valuable part of my life. Not only has it been a source of my entertainment and ambitions. It has allowed me to express myself when I have been depressed or heartbroken from a past relationship in which words or feeling cannot explain. In addition, even when the flood waters were entering my home during the two thousand sixteen Baton Rouge flood, my first reaction was to protect my family and preserve my instruments. Nothing else mattered.…
In the world of education, school counselors are the building blocks. Without their guidance and advice, it is not possible for students to achieve their goals successfully. This quote by Bethany Hill says it all. He says, “Every child you pass in the hall has a story that needs to be heard. Maybe you are the one to hear it”.…
Wish this had been known sooner to just leave it at Pacific time vs changing to our time zone. I apologize that I was not able to be more proactive for all this sooner. I have now adjusted my personal schedule to accommodate aiding Piper to a more sufficient time management schedule for all her courses. All this as a first year full time student has been challenging. We were told it would be and I was unsure at the time how involved as a parent I needed to be.…
A distinguished student is one that places his or hers studies first and foremost. One that does not procrastinate when it comes to completing their assignments and makes sure they are finished, reviewed and turned in before the due date.

During my college career I have used the above three statements to give myself the will power to accelerate through my college career. It was my pure determination to make the most out of my studies and use them in the Safety Profession field.…

I try to be as committed as I possibly can in each of my involvements and always have optimism with everything I do. My mentality is to approach every obstacle as a way to grow and develop, bettering myself each and every day.…
