Before addressing why Pitt is a good choice for me, I would like to review why I am a good choice for Pitt. The University of Pittsburgh values their “talented, diverse and high achieving students”, their “safe and healthy campuses”, their unique balance of “fun and camaraderie with internships and other learning opportunities outside the classroom”, and their focus on “developing students into global citizens” (University of Pittsburgh webpage, ‘Prospective Students’). I am a well-rounded student who places priority upon academics, as well as a broad array of performing arts extracurricular activities, over 300 hours of community service, several job experiences and religious organizations. Therefore, if admitted to The University of Pittsburgh, I would fit right in with the ardent and accomplished student body, just as I would benefit as a person and as…
I'd like to work at NCG because I'm an outgoing person and I enjoy being around people. Therefore, NCG appeals to me because in my experiences the theater is always busy. I also like the fact that there will always be something to do because I dislike being idle for too long. Another reason I'd like to work at NCG is that I'm a member of the magnet program at Kennesaw Mountain and a job here would still be possible for me during the upcoming semesters.…
I already do a lot in the community and I am always trying to better myself and others. I believe that my membership in a prestigious organization such as NHS will not affect my willingness to serve others before myself. I hope it will only assist me in being a better role model for my peers and that it will expand my opportunities to be a leader and that I will learn how to improve my service towards my community. I plan to be an active member in NHS and possibly someone that others can always go to for guidance and…
I am from a religious, Catholic, working class family that immigrated to the land of opportunity in the 1980s from Cuba. I am considered a Hispanic Latina even though I was born in America. I am an only daughter and granddaughter, who grew up in a suburban part of Miami; Hialeah. I learned English as a second language in primary school and was labeled gifted and talented after completing assessments. I am a young adult first generation college student at the University of Florida; Go Gators.…
I was born in Mexico 22 years ago and brought to the United States at the age of 10. Even though, I lived in Mexico for almost half of my life, sadly, I do not feel connected to my country as I’d hope. This is the reason that I like to be involved with my community. I understand the struggles faced by immigrants in this country and it motivates me to create dialogue and opportunities for others. At work, I often help with translations, it is something that pleases me because it allows to help others communicate and have their ideas taken into consideration.…
When imagining my future, I picture a long road of education before I have the opportunity to work in my desired career. In college, I will complete activities that will allow me to stand out to dental school admissions. I plan on majoring in biology, minoring in one or two additional subjects, and participating in various volunteering activities throughout college. I believe I have a head start on other pre-dental students because I will have completed at least nineteen college credit hours before my high school graduation. These credit hours demonstrate dedication to education and prove I have the mental toughness necessary to complete herculean college courses.…
I want to attend Sno-Isle TECH for Cosmetology to start forming a solid foundation for a career in cosmetology. Ever since I was younger, cosmetology and beauty have sparked my interest. Being raised in a home with all female care-givers, I was intrigued by the vanity and self-care they would provide themselves. From freshly bleached hair to acrylic nails, I've seen a lot of different styles walkthrough the doors of my house. As I matured, I wanted to experiment and starting doing my own hair.…
Being a Mexican-American and a child of illegal immigrants has allowed me to have a perspective on life to differ from some of my peers. My Mexican background has brought much diversity and openness to other cultures and beliefs. Being born in the U.S has provided me with countless opportunities and has greatly increased my patriotism for such a special country. Both of these background qualities, made me face much discrimination and only inspired me to seek full equality without discrimination. The aim of balance and peace has influenced me to help those around me.…
I deserve to have the opportunity to have this scholarship because I have pushed myself over the limit to get as much college credits to graduate my senior year not only from high school with all the high school requirements but to have the privilege to graduate from Lenoir Community College with my Associates in Science Degree. To have taken continuing education classes to advance my knowledge about nursing, or be a Spanish interpreter and to even take another language course. I want to be able to achieve to the point of getting my masters and becoming a Radiologist specialized in ultrasound but also an interpreter in more languages other than Spanish but for American Sign Language (ASL) and once fluent in ASL then learn Spanish Sign Language.…
I am, in all aspects of the word, a Mexican. My skin is brown and my family is large. I've done more physical labor in my life than most people I know will ever will. I speak both English and Spanish fluently and although I was born in America, I am a minority. Much like every other immigrant, my parents came to America because they wanted me and my siblings to have the lives they could not.…
Before I started my summer practicum, I attended counseling with Beth Budesheim. From here, she helped me gain more self-awareness from my past, my current thoughts, and future goals. Based on my past situations, she assisted me in becoming aware of how my dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and past childhood experiences can help me provide empathy for children, adolescents, adults, and elderly, who are experiencing the same learning disorders, anxiety/depression symptoms, Depression, and negative experiences. More importantly, Budesheim pointed out how my love for the profession will benefit me in my future goals in becoming a stronger counselor. She pointed out how I become depressed when…
I believe a bachelor's degree from New England College of Business can do more than shape my career; it can help me realize a life-long dream. Because I hail from a long line of military members; I know first hand the true meaning of self-sacrifice, duty to country, ethics,and courage. For a long as I can remember, it has been my life's mission to help our nation's veterans when they are unable to help themselves. For this reason, I plan to use the knowledge gleaned from my studies at New England College of Business to build a solid foundation in which to start my own business. Every veteran, service member; and their families, who so desire, should have the resources to live the "American Dream" of a solid education, home ownership, and the…
My first choice would be SAFN (Society for Anthropology for Food and Nutrition). The reason why I chose this to be my first choice is because food is important and different meals we eat do not just appear. My foods that we eat come from different cultures around the world and are from different time periods. The reason that I chose AQA (Association for Queer Anthropology) to be my second choice is because gay marriage has been an important topic lately. I would join this group because it is something that should be studied into.…
Ever been asked to argue why you would be the best person to hire for a job during an interview? If you have ever been in an interview most likely the answer is yes. When this question arises, you need to be prepared to respond confidently with a good argument explaining why you should get the job. A great first step in preparing for this is to take a class that studies argumentation. I carefully picked my visuals, layout, font, and other aspects of my advertisement to persuade people to study argumentation which will lead them to the end goal of conquering an interview.…
The life of me Why I choose to live they way I do and what caused me to do so. From a young age I always had to deal with fighting from everyone, being lied to, and most of the time forgotten by my family. I never really got to stay in one school for to long because of a court case with my parents and there constant fighting. My family is a little messed up no one ever really takes responsibility for something bad that happens but they jump right on it and take credit for it when in reality they had nothing to do with it. The main reason why I chose the life I have is because I never want to see my kids grow up the way I had to dealing with not knowing where your going on the weekend who really cares about you and who doesn 't weather or not there going to see the other parent or not because of drugs or other reasons I just want to make their life better then mine has been.…
