Purpose

I grew up on a bayou with a grandpa that hunted alligators and a mother that was a musician. From a young age I have been influenced by the rich culture of Louisiana. New Orleans was the first large city I visited, and Tulane was the first college campus I ever remembering seeing. I have since visited many other cities and schools, and feel that nowhere else is comparable. It is my desire to become a part of an academic community where I know I will be an engaged alumni for life. Tulane Law…

I have been a member of the Rosie Sorrells (ESSM) Mock Trial for about two years now. I never thought that I would be so involved and dedicated in Mock Trial as in now. I’ve transfer to my current magnet school after my freshman year. As shocked as I was, I made through the Varsity team after my first tryout. Mock Trial has transformed me into a versified student and person. By being an attorney on both prosecution and defense side, I’ve learned to be more well-spoken, approachable, responsible,…

I have had the opportunity to take two UCLA Extension courses and I have had this opportunity because my dad teaches for UCLA Extension. As a professor of UCLA Extension, he is able to take a UCLA Extension class for free each quarter and was able to transfer his free class to me. This opportunity has allowed me to take aerospace classes that have taught me skills that are applicable in industry. I took a systems engineering class and an orbital mechanics class. In the systems engineering…

Illnesses are inevitable. Meaning that medicine is a necessary part of life. Without medicine illnesses would eventually terminate humans entirely. Seeing as I am human, I am not too fond of that idea. Which leads me to why I chose to study medicine, specifically the area of physical therapy. I chose physical therapy because I love helping others and my personal experiences with a physical therapist. My love for helping others comes from people helping me when I was younger. We were lower class…

An important factor in deciding what career you are going to pursue is the job outlook of that specific career.

According to Choices Explorer, in 2008 there were approximately 661,400 anesthesiologists in the workforce ("Anesthesiology."). The job outlook for anesthesiologists is expected to have a growth rate of twenty-one point eight percent from 2008 to 2018 ("Anesthesiology."). Due to the…

I was introduced to programming during my high school sophomore year when I signed up for a C programming class. I remember asking the instructor why are we writing so many lines just to print "Hello World". She smiled and replied, "Ajit, the objective of coding is not just to print this line, but to teach computers to think like us to help us with our daily life." I still had my reservations about the programming, but as days passed, I realized what the instructor meant to say. We are always…

Mark Twain once said: “There is no security in life, only opportunity.” This statement, relevant to many great decisions made in life, shows the instability and uncertainties found in life. Although I have received many questions and queries about my major, I remain indecisive about the major I wish to have. However, I succeeded in whittling the log of choices down to fewer options. The same goes for the possible careers, though the list itself names fewer specific job opportunities than general…

If I was pursuing the psychologist career for the…
