Miami University

The experience that I would use to display all of these personal qualities would be my first semester at Miami University. I chose this experience because it has taught me to become comfortable within the uncomfortable and create an environment where I am able to adapt quickly to my surroundings. My first semester at college has made me become more independent, willing to push outside of my comfort zones, open-minded, and able to persevere through isolation. Throughout my first semester at Miami University, I’ve learned to become more independent, through most of the daily responsibilities that I hold. My independence at school began when I learned that I needed some of the things my mom would purchase for me, like medication and school supplies. The independence of living on my own and being…

Sylvia Plath’s “Morning Song” explores a mother’s complex emotions towards her newborn child after giving birth for the first time. Although motherhood is often regarded as a joyous event that gives a woman’s life purpose and meaning, “Morning Song” instead depicts motherhood as a complicated event fraught with uncertainty and fear, but also with love and affection.

“So what is your story?”. It is such a trivial question, yet so commonly thought over. The truth is, there is not a single defining moment in my life that has led me to where I am today or finalized my decision in attending Miami University. Who I am, how I came to be, and what influences my choices in life is a mixture of moments, experiences, and relationships that has molded me into this person standing in front of you today. However, if I were to truly choose what or who is the biggest…

increasing due to many factors, but mainly is a socio-economic problem.

priced but came in a floral printed box that matched the bathrooms. “They probably don’t have this brand in Florida,” she said, completely deadpan. “We 're not moving”. Most of my other memories of the move are hazy, like images inferred from a retelling, a copy of a copy. But my memory of leaning over and looking out the airplane window and seeing Florida is one of my clearest recollections. I saw a sea of tiny orange squares and little blue puddles that were the stucco roofs and kidney shaped…

Just north of Key Biscayne in sunny Miami, Virgina Key is a protected barrier Island in the Atlantic ocean. Consisting of 863 acres of land, it was once much larger, extending into the Ft. Lauderdale area. Between 1835 and 1838 hurricanes eroded the beach, creating inlets and dividing the island in two. The other portion became Fisher Island, which sits at the southernmost tip of Miami Beach. Virgina Key was a part of the civil rights movement. In a time when blacks were prohibited from going…

I have selected the University Of Miami Miller School Of Medicine for my medical education due to the attainment of confidence; confidence not in the conventional sense, but, in many other respects. Firstly, something that dwindles in the back of my mind with many unfamiliar schools I apply too is the education. Will the education provide me with the necessary tools and resources to be a competent physician? This question has no merit when I considered University of Miami Miller School of…
