Being able to extend my hand to those who really need my assistance gives me a sense of personal purpose; this is why I have decided to pursue my studies towards getting a Master of Social Work Degree.

I would describe myself as a highly motivated, ambitious, and independent young adult. I am self-driven and always work extremely hard to attain the goals I set out to achieve. Furthermore, I am a very active young person and to that extent, I have participated in numerous activities beyond academics. For instance, I attended Fitness Fun and Games where I modeled.

It also equipped me with important skills of handling people ...

Each aspect of life and the application thereof is acquired via some form of education. A newborn infant cries out for its mother, learns her responses to instinctive demands, and thus will quickly formulate the knowledge of wants versus solutions. The young life develops its motor skills, initially applies them for the first steps, and then graduates to the upright gait to freely traverse any environment. In this way, the education process is applied and instilled in every life.
The diversity of language and its functional and often poetic usage define the varied world cultures. Each one is ...

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 think we need to prepare kids to be more competitive in this global economy. I think a prestige school like Greenhill School can provide more challenges to her academically. 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 ...

As a small girl, saving coins in a little box and spending the money on noble deeds that brought smiles on faces that hardly smiled inspired me to appreciate the substantial change money is capable of doing in an economy. It was the beginning of my long-cherished dream. I want to study Business management with specialization in finance since Financial Management entails numerous employment opportunities as economies continue to expand unendingly across the globe. Across the world, the Financial Services and Banking field grows rapidly with myriad opportunities for young aspiring professionals, particularly women. Banking field also provides a great deal of ...

My country has recently become independent and despite its fast development and constant improvements, the country still lacks the fresh blood educated according to the Western democratic values that are still to be implemented in its legislation. To gradually substitute the Soviet past with the democratic present, our youth needs to study in the countries that are the cradles of the democracy.
For this reason, four years ago I took the Foundation course at HEFP, holding the conditional offer from the University of Warwick to study business law. Due to personal circumstances I was forced to continue my ...

I believe medical school will give me the well-rounded education to fulfill my dream to become a Psychiatrist or Gynecologist. With the variety of programs, flexible schedules and affordable payments I will be able to pursue many options, but medical school is my dream and I believe medical school can make that dream a reality. To start experiencing the fun, yet academic, college experience, gaining knowledge and skills, and enhancing my career and professional life overall would mean the world to me. There are several things that shaped my decision to pursue my life long goal of practicing medicine; situations that ...

My passion for medicine was developed through the hope of a young girl. “Put on the scrubs,” the Psychiatrist told me as we entered the sterile hospital room of a sixteen-year old girl. I stood next to the doctor as she talked to the girl, a girl whose face and body were so completely wrapped in gauze it would have been difficult for her to cry. “Will my skin go back to normal?” she asked. The physician answered honestly, “I do not know for sure, even though the flesh-eating bacteria that deprived you of your skin is gone, it could leave scarring--but ...

I was born in 1983 and was raised in Saudi Arabia, which is my country of origin.I also graduated from high school there, earning as high as 87% in my overall grades. I really wanted to prove to my family that their efforts were not in vain. My family values a decent education; they are always supportive and they encouraged me and my two elder sisters to strive to fulfill our educational goals. From 2001 to 2005, soon after graduation, I successfully enrolled in the college of Arts and Education in Taif, Saudi Arabia. I finished a four-year undergraduate program in ...

If people look at my educational background and compare it to the program I am currently applying for, they have the tendency to look at my paper twice and wonder whether I am applying for the right program. You see, I have an undergraduate degree, a double major to be exact, in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. To make things even odd, I even pursued graduate studies for Chemistry. I was a promising young chemist who was fortunate to have published two researcher papers because of this I received a number of Ph.D offers. It was as if my future was laid down ...

New York University

In pursuit of greater professional achievements I am aware of the need to be educated by the best academic institutions. This is the primary reason for my decision to pursue my higher education degree in the United States, and in the process reach my best level of competence. In this regard, my choice for the New York University as the institution to apply for a Masters degree in Occupational Therapy is indeed understandable, given the said university’s high esteem in the academe that it is regarded as among the top ten universities in the entire United States. Prior ...

With fascination I looked amazed at my mother’s first laptop as she brought it home in the first day she bought it. Although I was only four years of age, I understood back then that that was not a toy, but something very serious, something that attracted me. I was too young to understand its mechanisms, but I soon started to turn it on by myself and to enter in my mother’s programs. My fascination for my mother’s laptop grew so much that in my first day of school I told my mother that I want to ...

Curiositea Gift Company, the project that I developed together with other four girls, had the mission to sell affordable handmade vintage teacups filled with tea scented candles, shower gel or bath bombs, separately or as a gift. For this aim, we targeted as the end use women aged 30-50, with refined tests for home accessories and an interest in relaxation, harmony and aesthetics. The direct buyers, however, are much more varied, ranging from students to adults who desire to purchase gifts for their friends, mothers, and acquaintances. The main marketing strategy consisted in a combination of strong social media ...

When people think of China, I think they often think of places like Beijing and Shanghai, these sprawling metropolitan places packed tight with millions and millions of people. Or maybe they think of the cold, gray country that exists to the west. My birth city, Guilin, is nothing like these places. I come from the southern part of China, from the Guangxi province, where everything is warm, green, and beautiful. I was lucky to be born in Guilin. My family was lucky also, and were quite prosperous in the years before I was born. Still, I was the first ...

Admission Essay – Birmingham Foundation Academy

My decision to choose the University of Birmingham as the headquarters for my future education comes from a variety of factors. Having grown up in Nigeria, I have experienced a number of difficulties throughout my life, all seen through the lens of a young country that is still struggling to find its place in the world. The primary source of wealth in the Nigerian government today is oil, a substance which has caused quite a bit of strife and corruption in my country – the way it is refined, distributed and taxed still suffers from quite a few problems. To that end, I want to make a ...

A Global Leader in the Construction Field

I was born in Tokyo Japan and attended school there until age 17, when I came to the United States as an exchange student. After graduating from the Japanese High School, Kyoritsu, I attended Temple University to study and earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture. It’s through Temple’s rigorous curriculum when exploring ethical and social dimensions of architecture that my leadership interest peaked. Temple’s academic program develops an ethos of responsibility in its students and prepares us to “become effective leaders in practices and discourses surrounding the complex global and local issues of our time.”

Personal Statement

I have always been a determined person and always tried my best to accomplish my goals. Despite the fact that achieving goals brings satisfaction, my achievements have always made me aim even higher. Ever since I was young, I have always yearned to study at the Boston University. When I was to begin my undergraduate education, I applied to this institution and my application was accepted. However, due to financial constrains at that time, my family could not afford to facilitate my education at the university. I had to resort to other options, but promised myself that I would work ...

Medicine is a life long commitment to learning. The learning process that the physician goes through is for humanistic purposes and our calling is to tend to the ill and the most vulnerable around us. I began learning about peoples vulnerabilities at a young age. Growing up in India, I saw first hand the effects of dire poverty on an individual. Furthermore, I saw the consequences that poverty had on the health of an individual. I have tried to learn how to help people in need of assistance throughout my life and from a wide array of teachers.
My first inspiration ...

Personal Statement - Principal Discretion Program

Excellence has been a personal goal of mine since I was a child - ever since I recognized how good it feels to succeed, I have done everything I can to find and earn that success in whatever I set my mind to. In my career as a student so far, that success has been mostly related to my schoolwork and my sports experience, but I try to apply these principles to my life as well.
Currently, I am on the Honor Roll as a football player for the Calumet City Chargers (www.calumetcitychargers.com), an experience which has enriched me greatly. I have ...

The novel “Push” by Sapphire chronicles the life of a young African American teenage lost in a world fraught with desperation and abuse. The main character Claireece (better known as Precious) symbolizes a very stereotypical portrayal of life in the ghetto. Some feel that these stereotypes are too prevalent and are offensive to African American culture. However I feel that by analyzing these stereotypes we also gain a better perspective of issues that may face today’s inner city youth.

Instance of Stereotypes

There is no denying that many stereotypes persist within the text of “Push” Precious personifies many African American stereotypes by being overweight, on ...
