Sports Personal Statements Samples For Students

Before I started running my own company, providing massage therapy and other alternative medicine treatment, I had to face different challenges and take major risks. Moreover, I had to overcome my own problems with health and become courageous enough to look into the depth of my heart to see what I really wanted to do in my life.
One of the first such challenging periods of my life started in the late September of 2004, when I got a work contract in the UK for an Industrial Project Management Company. I was very proud about working there, because it ...

After graduating from Medical School, I was given the opportunity to be an observer at a Sports Medicine clinic. I was always familiar with the many career paths Sports Medicine can take; but after working with a Kinesiologist, I was at awe of all the further possibilities which the study of movement could actually offer. The field of study actually complements one’s previous academic pursuit and serves the similar purpose of improving the quality of lives of people who practitioners get to eventually interact with. I was therefore allowed to use my knowledge of medicine and fuse it with facets ...

Having grown up in Russia, and having spent much of my childhood traveling to countries all around Europe (like Spain, Egypt, Turkey, and more), I have been raised to have a very continental, open-minded and free-thinking spirit.

At the same time, I became interested in psychology and sociology, and the ways communication can affect others. To that end, I chose to come to the United States in the spring of 2012 to attend East Carolina University, majoring in psychology. ...

Pablo Picasso once quoted, “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls”. Indeed, an art form, be it a painting, a sculpture, a movie, song, or a structure can be extremely rejuvenating to a patron’s mind and soul. I have been fascinated by the art of designing since my early childhood. I believe aesthetics and visuals are a crucial component of any entity as it helps personify the entity to a great extent. My passion and flair for designing earned me the prestigious task of editing and designing the yearbook at high school which I pulled off with great ...

When I was still in kindergarten, my mom decided that it would be best for me to skip the last year; therefore I entered primary school earlier than my friends did.

It was quite a shock to jump to primary school from kindergarten.
I had a tutor that would work with me in order to improve my learning skills, till the time I entered high school. Since then time, ...

Louisa May Alcott’s quote ‘It takes two flints to make a fire’ never seemed realistic to me during my early days. I never believed in working with others in becoming successful. This was until when I became a team captain of a renowned country volleyball team.

I used to admire the players as I watched every style, difference in the application of techniques, and skills. My passion developed with watching the team work depicted by my mother’s team until I ...

When I was growing up, I was unlike many children in that I always looked forward to my dentist appointments.

As I grew up, I started to conduct my own research at home to answer my questions about this field of medicine. From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a dentist and now it is my primary goal. ...

Since childhood, I have always kept abreast with major developments across the world. However, I had a bias for topics in relation to human rights, especially topics related to the underprivileged in the society at large.

Personal Statement

It is always normal for parents to tell their children what they them to become when they grow up and my parents were not different. My father was particularly determined to see me become an engineer. At first he was reluctant to tell anyone why he really wanted me to pursue a career in engineering. For most of us, including my mother, we were opinionative that probably it was due to the stipendiary nature of the engineering profession but as it would later turn out, his stance had nothing to do with the high paying nature of the profession, but ...

Throughout my life I have faced many challenges that took determination, perseverance, and discipline in order to overcome. During high school and throughout my undergraduate studies I dedicated myself to the ferocious sports of Kick Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts.

The recovery from this injury was brutal and I had to undergo four surgeries ...

I am one of the few Saudi women have graduated from law school in my country predominantly patriarchal.

As a Saudi woman, I have experienced injustice and discrimination firsthand due to my gender. Despite having attained the legal adult age, the system prohibits me from doing basic things such as studying, working or even acquiring a passport without permission from my father and or husband. My legal practice also suffered setbacks due to these backward cultural norms that prohibit interaction with fellow male lawyers. ...

“I'm thankful for the incredible advances in medicine that have taken place during my lifetime. I almost certainly wouldn't still be here if it weren't for them” Billy Graham.

1. Please explain your interest in sending your son/daughter to Greenhill School.
Generally, Joyce is doing very well in the current school. However, I feel the overall environment in public school does not motivate kids to compete.

I feel that Greenhill will give my daughter opportunities that would not have been available of receiving if he had attended a public school. Because I understand that private schools like Greenhill School ...

I admired the fact that Marks father was ...
