Piled Higher and Deeper

Dear Members of the Review Committee: I am writing this letter on behalf of Neil Chappell, MD, in order to convey my strong support of his grant proposal entitled, “Hyperandrogenemia alters ovarian mitochondrial function and subsequent oogenesis and embryo development in a PCOS mouse model.” As his mentor and principal investigator, I am committed to the development of his career, and will assist him in any way I can to ensure his success in all professional endeavors. To date, Dr. Chappell has accomplished many significant achievements, and I believe in his capacity to continue to grow as a clinician scientist to become a prestigious example in this field as a well-respected independent researcher. Dr. Chappell completed his medical school training at University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, and subsequently completed a four year residency program in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. During his training, he regularly received awards and recognition for his academic achievements. While in medical school, he illustrated robust interest in the field of reproductive endocrinology, earning the Outstanding Medical Student in Obstetrics and Gynecology and the National Endocrine Society Medical Student Achievement Award. In residency, he was also well recognized for his clinical skill as well as his interest in academics, receiving the Special Resident Achievement in Minimally Invasive Gynecology two years in a row, the Resident…

Graduate Record Examination (GRE) V+Q 307 (1200), that means, I have to work really hard to get accepted into this kind of graduate program. But, at some schools that offer this program, GRE scored is optional especially for PsyD programs that are not part of a college, or known as free standing. The acceptance rate for this program is less than 10% for research oriented PhD, 15% for practice oriented, 25% for university department PsyD, and about an estimation of 50% for a free standing PsyD.…

general populace and overarching atmosphere. I have been attending gyms regularly for approximately three years now, and while working out and especially while resting I have had the opportunity to partake in one of my favorite idle activities, people watching. The gym provides an environment that is unique in that it is centered around self-improvement and so theoretically carries a higher degree of self awareness with it as well. While one is working on their body’s image I believe that they…

Grenville Belt, there was another land piece between Proto-North America and Baltica. This land piece was called Avalon. Avalon was believed to have broke apart from Proto-Africa. When Baltica hit North America, the mountain range created when the Avalon and the Iapetus Ocean rocks got piled up was located in the northeast. The collision of the Northeastern part of North America and Baltica didn’t really affect the southern coast until part of Avalon called the Carolina Terrane hit the…

ideas are nearly erased from existence, where a spirited generation full of brilliant colors is dulled to a dreary black and white. Sadly, that is this generation. Furthermore, the school systems are beginning to strip away any creativity and love of learning that students may have. Now students regurgitate material at hand and do not engage in the deeper part of thinking. From personal experience, many peers can explain in depth the reality of the boredom for academics in the school system.…

topic of causes, the most common cause of atherosclerosis is genetics. Many times when it is diagnosed, the main reason is from issues from their family. It is recommended that one looks at their family history to see if this disease runs along from person to person. There are many ways of lowering the chance of atherosclerosis occurring, but sometimes it just isn’t preventable. Another way of getting this cardiovascular disease is by having a high level of cholesterol in the body. Over time,…

period have extremely morbid accounts of the sheer number of deaths. According to an article from History Times, Agnolo di Tura, a chronicler writes, “...in many places in Siena great pits were dug and piled deep with the multitude of dead…” (“The Black Death: The Greatest Catastrophe Ever”). Mass amounts of people had been dying, but this did not just harm the population. This also crippled the economy and well being of other areas because most of the laborers and farmers in Europe had died.…

mercy dwindles, does it? Must you bring me words That crush me utterly? I was dead, and still you kill me. Slaughter was piled high, Ah, then, do not tell me you come to pile it higher: A son dead, then a wife” (385). The personification of Death indicates that Creon is being judged by unstoppable forces and the fact that Death has taken all those he loves but not Creon himself reveals that his punishment is to spend the rest of his…

the Bible, to show many of the same values that seem to shine out in the poor. He demonstrates compassion (Matthew 9:36) , love (1 John 4:7-8), and a servantship to those around him (Mark 10:45). The poor obtain these values, and the rich have received warning about the consequences of their self-indulgence (James 5:4-6). The greed displayed by the rich has pulled them farther and farther from a Christ-like image. Matthew 25:40 states, “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did…
