Personal Statement Essay

Last year I was solely set on majoring in computer science and being a programmer for a living and making millions while working at home by creating genius apps that would change the world. It sounded like the perfect plan because it would incorporate my love for technology and my creativity into a career that would not have me staring at four walls everyday questioning why I chose this job. The future is frightening, without a taste of what computer programming is, how am I supposed to know if…

For years I fell under the falsified vision of wanting to become a doctor. I anticipated myself studying for the MCATs, attending medical school interviews, and fretting over my application until it was perfect in every way shape and form. Why a doctor?

As I open the letter, the first words my eyes came across was "Congratulations on your acceptance to EWU Fall quarter 2014!" I remember being extremely happy. I accepted to attend EWU. In August, a month before move in day, everything changed. I wasn't going to attend EWU anymore due to financial reasons. I remember being extremely upset over this.

Simply put it, my biggest fear is seeing someone in pain and knowing that I can’t do a single thing about it. The feeling of sympathy, if held in long enough, will drive me to the point of insanity. This is a major driving force for me to become a physician specializing that specializes in internal medicine. By being such, I will have the knowledge to relieve the pain. Because of this desire, I will need to attend med-school, where I will ultimately sleep, breathe, and bleed medicine in order…

of public health and how its inclusion of pharmacists has increased over the years. I would love the opportunity to reach out to small, underdeveloped communities like Smoaks, SC where I grew up. The idea to speak about prevention sprang from my personal struggles with asthma, high blood pressure, and being labeled as "pre-diabetic". Each of these were made worse by my battle with obesity. Over the last year, I have lost almost 70lbs by eating healthier and exercising, which has greatly…

From an early age I have been intrigued by the human mind and how it works. This interest has been enhanced through my study of psychology.

I have particularly enjoyed studying comparative psychology because I am interested in how the human mind can be explained in evolutionary terms and how we…

I have always been an advocate for young children learning other languages, especially Spanish, because I feel that they will have more career opportunities since they will be able to communicate better with everyone. From the time that my daughter was in kindergarten through third grade, every child had Spanish as an Encore class. Unfortunately, when Congress felt that children were not getting enough physical activity, this class was cut from schools while adding an extra physical education…
