Skills Personal Statements Samples For Students

Academic challenges must be met with an open mind while remaining grounded in intense discipline and focus. Three and a half years ago I came to the United States hardly speaking any English. I enrolled in my local high school in New York City where I was exposed to many people of diverse backgrounds. Initially, school was very difficult. The difficulty of making friends in a new language is only exceeded by the struggle to learn chemistry in a new tongue. Despite this handicap, through dedication and perseverance I managed to learn a new language and prepare myself for Continue reading...

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?

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.

My academic specialization is fuzzy logic, which isn’t logic that is fuzzy, but a worldview and method of thinking which is capable of coping with the world’s diversity. Traditional bivalent thinking, the belief that a proposition has only one truth value is, according to philosopher Mario Bunge, “primitive and inconsistent with how the social world is organized” (Winter, 2014). Most social phenomenon, including teaching, is not black and white, true or false, but full of interesting grey variables. I experience this when I’m teaching, because every student is different. My personal educational philosophy revolves around inclusion, Continue reading...

Once when I was a child, I spent a week in the hospital, and what impressed me most of all was the helplessness of people who experienced different health problems. Then I first thought about the way science can decrease the scope of human suffering.

During my aforementioned tour in Iraq, I was able to train at a major cardiovascular medical center, gaining experience observing procedures including diagnostic cardiac catheterization and PCI. While there, looking through the Continue reading...

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, Continue reading...

Being born and raised in Makkah Saudi Arabia, I can ascertain that the country is better off economically and most people don’t have a serious financial strain. However, the majority of the citizens lack education and better health services from one city to another.

However, I took a wider look at the various parts of the country’s education and health systems both in large and small cities. It was astonishing to observe Continue reading...

“Without inspiration the best powers of the mind remain dormant.

There is a fuel in us which needs to be ignited with sparks.”
Johann Gottfried Von Herder

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.

Financial mathematics uses applied mathematical concepts in the field of finance. Whereas an economist may attempt to understand the reasons that a stock is at a given price, in mathematical finances one is more interested in calculating values based on a given price. The basic work involves valuing derivatives as well as risk and portfolio management. This is a fascinating field that while technically challenging is very mentally stimulating. The recent financial crisis has cast doubts on the credibility of the derivatives pricing. It is certain that mathematics was never the problem that lead to the market disaster, rather Continue reading...

The educational process consists of someone (child or adult) being taught knowledge or a skill on various subjects using various media (e.g., lectures, books, Internet, tapes). The information is provided; reinforced through a series of activities, exercises, or demonstrations; reviewed and clarified; and then it’s tested to ensure that the knowledge was gained, competency achieved, or skill mastered. This traditional approach to human development has been used by the academic community for decades. Yet, when reviewing the research, there have been some revolutionary insights and changes in the understanding of education as a link to human development. First Continue reading...

The foundation for my zeal to study in business related courses grew up after my graduation from Bodwell High School in December 2011.

The course has a ready market in terms of employment and sole proprietorship.

As the first person to graduate from college in my family, I chose to vary slightly from the norm. I’ve always been something of an overachiever, throwing myself into the things I choose to do with definite zeal. I’ve always been passionately curious, so higher education always seemed like a logical choice for me. Pursuing that first Bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan wasn’t easy, but quitting was never an option that I entertained. I loved learning and Criminal Justice studies too much to ever truly consider quitting.
In addition to my extensive education Continue reading...
