Coursework

strong desire to lead others for the greater good. Holding leadership positions in Student council, National Honor Society, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes for numerous years, along with horseback riding, basketball, and rigorous academic coursework have prepared me for the journey into becoming a successful and effective leader. Since childhood, I have raised and ridden horses on a regular basis. Competing in the rodeo arena and qualifying for the High…

Dirt covered children in tattered clothes ran towards us as we stepped off of the bus onto the dirt roads of Ticul, Mexico. No amount of reading about culture or news articles about current events could have prepared me for what I saw when I arrived to the small town Ticul with my mission team. For most of my life I presumed the closest I would ever come to a career in medicine would be basic first aid and an occasional CPR class. However, as I spent time in Mexico ministering to the children…

they are not legally allowed to do, that educator has a right and a responsibility to refuse to do that job. If teaching outside a license occurs, that person can be fined or disciplined. However, schools can ask teachers to complete additional coursework to receive another endorsement or license. Educators are expected to keep information concerning a student or a student’s family confidential unless they are required to give up that information by law. Finally, as an educator, they have the…

The student lies at the center of education. After all, it is the student who goes to class each day, applies the coursework to his or her life, and learns how to become an active member of society through education. Thus, it only makes sense that education should focus on the student’s needs rather than focusing primarily on the excellence of the curriculum. By no means does this mean that the education should not promote excellence. Instead, the needs of the student should be balanced with the…

Describe your rationale for seeking a graduate degree and the features that led to your choice of the Human Relations program as the right focus for your studies. At what age do most people begin looking at higher education? For me, the desire to be a lifelong learner has always been a driving factor. I caught the learning bug in 8th grade when I took latin at the community college. But how to be a lifelong learner? That was my struggle. I went through class after class, book after book, but I…

I have been mesmerised by the level of depth and complexity involved in the human eye. Being able to examine the retina alone can lead to the diagnosis of many life-changing illnesses from diabetes to glaucoma. This has left me fascinated as optometrists can come about crucial discoveries by just looking into the eyes, and therefore the work of an optometrist is somewhat similar to a detective’s investigation. Additionally the work of optometrists has resulted in shaping the lives of numerous…

professionals, involving me in important research of the socio-political concerns in the Middle East. The MLA program will provide me with an accommodating schedule to fulfill a degree that will integrate advanced Arabic language courses with political coursework on the Arab world. This, I believe, would be the ideal opportunity to further my passion for Arabic studies in the Ivy League. My recent experience studying Arabic on a David L. Boren Scholarship in Amman, Jordan, has allowed me to…

I recently read Building a Better Teacher by Elizabeth Green. Green’s main argument is that no one is born a teacher; teaching is an acquired skill similar to the skills developed by doctors, plumbers, and athletes. Teaching requires training, feedback, and constant revision. I not only agree with her position, I also believe it is the foundation of what a teacher preparation program should offer. The Master’s program at UW is best situated to provide me that opportunity. Both by reputation and…
