Friends Personal Statements Samples For Students

Certain experiences in one’s life can be counted as transformative experiences as they have greater meaning and impact on the future life of that person.

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, ...

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.

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 ...

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.

1) What are some of the most significant challenges you have faced to succeed as a student? –
In my work as a student, I have had to face many challenges, but none more so than finding a way of balancing work, school and my personal life. I work as part of the management support team at Verizon Wireless, which is a very fast-paced job environment that is very demanding and rigorous. A significant part of my job is dealing with escalated customers, which can add even more stress and frustration to my current responsibilities, which also include overseeing my own team and ...

My interest in Urban Studies started through a combination of experiences as a child and working adult. I grew up in South Korea in a Christian family and followed commandments from the Bible that were mentioned throughout my childhood. However, in the 11th grade my English teacher, Ms. Case, had Kohlberg’s Six Stages of Moral Reasoning posted on the board and I read it every class session. It gave me a different non-religious prospective regarding right and wrong behavior. At that time, I was at Stage Four: “Maintaining the Social Order”; but knew that I wanted to move to Level 3, Stage ...

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.

I was an 8-year old girl with big dreams of making it in the world of business and fashion. My friend and I opened our very own public shop. My playroom was transformed into my own dream business.

Imagine my excitement once we were able to open our shop! The shop produced paper doll packets, and I was able to design my own fashion for the paper dolls. Over ...

Throughout my professional career, many people have asked me the same question, “What motivates you?” My answer always begins in the same way, “When I was growing up, I never truly experienced childhood, or what most people would consider a ‘normal’ teenage life.” Through a series of compounded decisions by my family, at six years old, I started taking care of my younger brother and mother when it became apparent that she was mentally unstable and could not lead our family. I continued to care for my brother day and night in our small one ...

In today’s competitive environment where education has moved beyond the traditional sphere, the UCEAP Program offered by the Keio University in Tokyo explores the vast and growing field of Psychology. I have successfully completed a two year course in Psychology from a community college majoring in Psychology. I am passionate about pursuing a profession that utilises the diverse psychological streams. Growing up in Japan has acquainted me with the culture and society but only on a superficial level; the UCEAP course at the Keio University would give me an opportunity to imbibe the rich culture and values of Japan. Being a Korean, living ...

I have always considered that the person who invented society was probably the greatest genius ever living on earth. Social norms, human relationships, communication, collaboration, progress, society, they are all part of a political system. Excepting the abstract concepts such as love, happiness or virtue, everything in the world, locally or globally, at micro level, or at macro level, is political. The dynamics and particularities of the international political scene fascinate me. It is with great interest that I follow the socio-political concepts integrated in the speeches or strategies of politicians or in the pleads and defenses of the lawyers. ...

My intellectual love affair with chemistry and forensic science began in my high school years. I was lucky, during this formative period of my life, to have a series of excellent chemistry instructors and classes; my enthusiasm for chemistry grew throughout these years. I became more and more interested in the discipline; in my free time, I read chemistry books and learned the history of the subject. It was clear to me that I wanted to build a career out of this interest. After I graduated high school, I was accepted into the Abu Dhabi police force academy to complete a study ...

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 ...

Irrespective of what the scriptures prescribed, making judgments seems so common to many of us. Would you judge a person based preference to solitude instead of other people’s company? Perhaps you may claim that would not, but that is exactly what happens often in today’s world. Some people cannot comprehend, much less appreciate, that silence, meditation, and reflection can be just as invigorating, if not more, as the party or social gathering of loud screams and voices.
In an age where extroverts are extolled for their vibrancy and affable character, introverts tend to receive the well-known short ...

Through my friends enrolled in medical programs, and my parent’s friends, I have learned that medicine is a lifelong commitment to learning. Instead of going out to the party, evenings are spent revising material in order to benefit the future patients. Thus, in order to succeed at medical training there are several qualities that students must possess, namely: devotion, determination, and endurance. However, learning from books is not all it takes to be a good practitioner, and many years of experience are necessary until one actually becomes a master healer. The maladies of the patient have many nuances, and only a skillful ...

Personal Statement

A mentor of mine told me that dreams are not achieved by simply working hard—working smart is one of the keys to success. If this is true, then turning my passion into something lucrative definitely sounds like a smart thing to do. That is precisely why I intend to combine my love for computer science and programming with a full-fledged business.
When I was younger, my parents brought me a desktop computer that fascinated me to no end. My uncle was a computer engineer; he motivated me to learn how to use it. Thus, I taught myself strong computer operating skills and ...

Gender and Women’s Studies is a field that I would like to pursue. Gender equality and women empowerment are things that I consider to be of great importance, especially since there’s still a gender gap even in the 21st century. I greatly admire my mother who is very supportive of me, and my many experiences in volunteer work and other group participations have shown me that women are capable of making important contributions in our society. As such, I would like to be instrumental in some way in the elimination of this gender gap.

Needless to say, the freedom ...

When I moved to the United States, I faced a number of challenges, ranging from learning English to adjusting to the new culture. It was difficult for me to express myself and communicate with my classmates and teachers. It was also challenging for me to keep up with the cultural values in my new environment. This experience affected my self esteem as I felt isolated and out of place. Nonetheless, I had a clear sense of identity, purpose and direction. I had come to the United States to pursue the creative and inquiring education that is available in this part of ...

"Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life", - a famous philosopher Confucius once said (Career Wisdom). This quote was not really clear for me until the moment I started thinking about my future career. Luckily, it happened naturally and all I had to do in order to realize what I would love to dedicate my life to was going to cinema with my friends.
Who would have thought that a movie could have such a great influence on me back then – when in sixth grade I watched “Fast and Furious’ film with my ...
