Purpose

Franklin College is approximately thirty minutes away from my home in Indianapolis. With that being said, I am a homebody and enjoy being close to my family. I am currently attending Wabash Valley College in Mount Carmel, Illinois. It is a smaller Community College with a fair number of athletes and commuters. I enjoy Franklin College not only because of its location, but also the strong Liberal Arts program it has to offer. I am majoring in Elementary Education, and the program at Franklin…

Thank you for awarding me the COSI scholarship for the generous amount of $2,500. Your generosity is appreciated and I am humbled by your selection of me as a recipient of the scholarship. As an older non-traditional student who has decided to return to school after a two-decade absence, my background is a bit different than most college students. Setting a positive example for my 5 kids is a top priority of mine, therefore maintaining a high GPA, 4.0 at this time, while pursuing A.A.S in…

As one of the best businessmen alive, Warren Buffett, once said, "Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.” I find this quote directly relating to me, I found myself devoting energy on trying to fix a failure as opposed to moving on. I like to be hands on and pursue my interests, and one of my interests is business, specifically investing captivated me junior year. A bad…

Looking back into the past, there was never a time that I was not involved in music. Music, to me is a way of life and a gateway to express my inner most spiritual thoughts and emotions. I have expressed myself for years, I have utilized my musical talent in classical and jazz ensembles, invented numerous compositions in production programs, and created relationships with numerous instruments. In the past, I have always thought that music would pave its way through my life and provide an avenue…

The combination of modern technology and renaissance is what creates the essence of editing. It is what puts life into pictures. It is what sells products. It is what stimulates the mind while letting you be creative. Photo improvement is almost everywhere; however, the common person doesn’t realize it. The bright colors and beautiful people shown on advertisements are nothing near being close to real. It is all done through editing. Photo editing is the coming across of a perplexing math…

Growing up with scientist parents, I followed them around the world as they pursued their education and careers in scientific research. I was born in Shanghai, as my parents finished their post-bacs degrees, and moved to Japan at the age of two to accompany them as they obtained their PhDs. When I was seven, my family finally settled down in Seattle. These experiences growing up in the different countries and different cultures have broadened my perspective. Having gone to school in three…

I am a news editor at SINA English, an English destination for news and information about China. I write and edit news stories every day. Moreover, I need to select the stories with real news value to interest the readers. Currently, I am responsible for the section of China domestic news providing more news stories about hot social issues and key issues on people’s livelihood. Maybe it is a tough work for others, but it is the career I love. And I chose to step into the field of journalism,…

1. Describe your prior research experience, including duration, level of independence, and methods employed. How has your research experience prepared you for graduate studies in biomedical engineering? (maximum 50 lines, 12 pt font) “It always seems impossible until it’s done”, a quote written on top of my table in lab, is one of the elements that drive my commitment to my goals. This has always inspired me to work towards achieving the goals I set and define the research experiences I had…

Looking as “almost impossible goal”, I started this path when I was 17 years old. Medicine, a dreaded and admired profession. A job that requires uniquely indescribable qualities and skills. A responsibility that involves sacrifices. I 'm so pleased to say that Venezuela trains one of the most talented physicians who after studying hard for tests are exposed to knowledge through daily, direct contact with patients and their diseases. As a developing country, we don’t count on the best technology…

Animal Farm is the Orwell’s least personal of all of his writings. It is due to the unknown narrator who is notable for being prejudiceless and eccentricity. It is the only Orwell’s work where the author is not a major character or a narrator himself. The story is set in an unspecified time period and without many historical references but it is a short allegorical, satirical fable on the political situation around Russian Revolution which was, assumably, the time setting of the story, and it…
