Chemistry taught me the importance of perseverance and hard work. When I first started studying chemistry in High School, I thought it was difficult and incomprehensible. I was fortunate enough to have an excellent teacher who made me want to work hard at chemistry and showed me that once you had a good introduction to a field, everything was possible.

The discovery of chemistry taught me patience and discipline and the importance of hard work to accomplish a goal and it changed my life.

One of the life-changing lessons that chemistry gave me was the value of a good educator. A passionate teacher ...

Philosophy of Family and Community

As a teacher and educational practitioner, my philosophy for working with families and communities is grounded by three basic principles. The first is by instituting a connection between my student’s homes and our shared classroom. Second is the nurturing of family involvement with my classroom and school building. Finally, I work to make my school a true community learning center which all families can utilize both during and after school hours.

It was during my school when I realized that my English language teacher was far from ordinary ones, she was a real talent, a person who does not only teach, but a person who explains all the nuts and bolts of the language. First and foremost, she gave me a very strong background, based on grammar and lexicology; and later her main goal was to teach me how to ‘feel’ the language – intonation, emphasis and subtext. Due to her methodology I have become a person I am now with a strong desire to teach. Moreover, she taught me that it is essential to ‘dive’ into what you ...

Looking back through history, there are hundreds of impressive men and women who immediately spring to mind who have left their imprint on world culture: Sir Issac Newton, Leonardo DeVinci, Cleopatra, Mother Teresa, Abū al-QāsimMuḥammadibnʿAbdAllāh, and Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) to name only a few. Each of these admirable people had one thing in common: they had a teacher or teachers who educated them and inspired them to greatness. My goal is to become a teacher of this caliber.

Question 1

My intended major is mathematical economics. As a child, it was intriguing to see that some successful people made predictions about potential risks in the economy, and the predictions came true. This sparked my interest in mathematics and economics. I came to learn that Mathematics plays a significant role in economics; a role that has been increasing in importance as the years go by. Consequently, I have come to appreciate the fact that Mathematics is progressively important in regard to the expression as well as communication of concepts in economics. Today, activity in financial markets is generally governed by mathematical models. My ...

Personal Statement: Make the World Move Forward

I have always studied hard, because I have a passionate ambition to study computer science at the University of Washington so that I can one day return to help poor children in rural China, who currently have little or no opportunity to obtain a decent education.

I am an immigrant from China, living in the U.S. with my mother who does not speak English, and have to work as well ...

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 ...

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 ...

I wish to apply to study Mathematics at your university. I have always had a keen interest in maths, and I feel I have the necessary skills, qualifications and attitude to achieve highly, both academically and personally.
