Ever since I have known, I was fascinated with things around me, always inquisitive and famished for knowledge, for personal progress and opening new horizons. This has proven to be one of my major traits, molding my personality into that of an extremely curious human being, who treats others as he himself would like to be treated and always desiring to know more.

For the person I am now, I have many people to thank. I come from a close and loving family, who offered unconditional love and support to me and my siblings. My childhood was one filled ...

In my third year of medicine school at Ross University on November 2008, I was intrigued by a class on open heart surgery of a patient suffering from myocardial infarction. The video documented of each step and explained the logic behind each incision of a heart vessel. This was intriguing to me as what attracted me was the mechanics of the cardiology system. It was like a complex wire system in a machine and an electrician was exploring each wire to find fault; except this time the electrician was a cardiologist. This was even better as the cardiologist was ...

A sports injury I had in college sparked my interest in the field of physical therapy. I was greatly fascinated as my physical therapist evaluated and treated my injury within the span of several weeks. The explanations he gave me about my injury and the techniques he used for treating me brought my imagination to life. They allowed me to visualize everything that was happening inside my body. Every therapy session was a learning experience, such that I decided to take my interest one step further shortly after I recovered from that injury. I volunteered at a physical therapy ...

In 1929 my grandfather took the train that runs along the Mediterranean coast from Haifa in the historic Palestine, to the city of Beirut in Lebanon. He did so to catch a ship taking off to Brazil, the New World. There was a strong wave of migration to the new world, even though the only way of traveling at that time was by ship, and this took over three months to reach the port of Rio de Janeiro.

Once at the new land, officials referred to my grandfather as the Turku, even though he was, in fact, Arabic. They ...

The medical field to me represents an interesting field with immense possibilities. My journey in the medical field started out with a bachelor’s degree in biology from the Milkins University followed by another degree in clinical laboratory science from the Illinois University. I had made the decision to be part of the medical world after my mother had a brush with cancer. Prior to that, I had weighed several options but none had particularly impressed me. Watching her recover fully and later on become cancer free was proof to me that being involved in the diagnosis, care and ...

Challenges make life interesting. It is these challenges that make success a journey rather than a place we arrive at. I was born in Hong Kong, a part of the People’s Republic of China. Growing up I faced several challenges such as raising my school fees, and common adolescent problems such as trying to fit in with the rest of my peers. However, my parents have taught me never to let my challenges make me consider myself as weak or worthless. Instead they taught me that challenges are what make the world go round. Some may argue that ...

Throughout my life, I have always sought out and used all opportunities available to me to be of help people who are unfortunate or simply in need of a helping hand. Therefore, undertaking studies in social work was great opportunity to achieve my desire. Although my university education back in my home country, Uganda, was full of challenges due to lack of vital resources, I worked hard and gained ...

Self-actualization is the process of realizing one's full potential - to really work hard and find out what you are capable of. Understanding the mind has been a particular passion of mine for a very long time - ever since my teenage years, I have struggled with my endless curiosity about why people do the things they do. Furthermore, I have always wanted to learn more about what people can do to better themselves. Realizing that I want to help people with their own emotional and life-related problems was a huge moment for me, and one that has brought ...

Ray Lyman Wilbur, a renowned American medical doctor once said “In a world full of uncertainties, the record of what has gone before as human experience is as sure and reliable as anything that we are born with” (UOFLIFE, pp.71). Experience makes up a vital fragment of our personality since it influences our tastes, preferences, inclinations as well as the dictates of our passion. My working experience is an apt manifestation of this phenomenon. My aspiration to delve into the world of business, particularly economics, has been greatly influenced by my seven years working experience in vastly interactive and ...

The law is a two edged sword aimed at cutting the oppressed free while punishing the unjust. This is one of the maxims that I have believed in and that inspires me towards applying for the JD program. By applying for this program, I desire to equip myself with the power to bring this ‘sword’ closer to the oppressed. I believe that this course will help me represent my people better and also in making them aware of their rights according to the law. All this intrinsic motivation to undertake the law course is extrinsically supported by ...

Spirit, enthusiasm, individualism seem to rule the day in terms of qualities of today's youth, but the real diligence lies--as it always has--in one's work ethic. Before integrity became a buzz word among those seeking approval from their superiors, a man or woman's ability to stick to the job and his or her follow-through have long ruled the day. Not everyone can talk the talk of work ethic--not unless he or she has been through the long, difficult journey that develops the ethic itself. For any talent bestowed upon me, through any contribution I may have made or will ...

Responsibility, continuous learning, holistic development and not forgetting to give back to the community are values that I strongly believe in. Belonging to a family where the patriarch is a businessman and the matriarch is a home maker, I have been brought up with well rooted family values. Further, following my father’s footsteps and fulfilling the dreams that he has dreamt has been a lifelong ambition for me. As such, I intend to become a successful businessman in my own right. As a crucial step towards this end, I am applying for a major at the School of ...

Right after I accomplished Bachelor’s degree in Business Communication and English at the University of Economics and Computer science in Warsaw, I decided that the international ...

He has to endure the scorching sun that dehydrates him through and through with limited supply of food and water that can only sustain him for a certain period of time. He has to grapple with the extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, through the day and night respectively having to dress lightly during the day and then dressing warmly during the night to fight the cold. Desert animals like scorpions and snakes pose an imminent danger upon ...

The importance of biotechnology in the lives of humans remains to be a debatable subject as people are divided on the topic of whether it does help mankind or not.

On the agricultural front, biotechnology could help produce high agricultural yield to feed growing populations and sustain life. This impresses me much as I acknowledge that natural resources are slowly being depleted, but with the help ...

For me he always has been a unique person and the role model respected by community, hard worker, carrying parent and loving husband. I envision him as an everyday hero of the twenty-first century. In the last couple of years, I realized ...

Special Education instructors require many virtues, including patience, persistence, and adaptability. My undergraduate degree from The College of Education at King Saud University of Riyadh has prepared me for many academic and professional challenges. Following graduation I volunteered at a specialist hospital, organizing and coordinating support for children with Attention Deficit Hyper Activity Disorder and their families. After this experience I worked as a teacher in the private and public school systems of Saudi Arabia, where I continued to gain experience working with special education children and attending to their families needs and concerns.

All of this habitually posed a risk, preventing me to feel secure and protected by people, whom I love most. Those circumstances were indeed exceptional during the period, when I ...

- Malcolm X
Though Malcolm X is very controversial figure in the history of twenty-first century, I think no one will argue about his words on education. What is more, from Socrates to Shakespeare, Plutarch to Albert Einstein, Aristotle to Henry Ford, prominent minds of human kind stressed the importance of education. Their words still linger nowadays, because education, in one way or another, will always be important for personal growth and open-mindness, a mean to succeed and build your life, and become a valuable for both oneself and the society.
Nevertheless, the complete understanding of it came to ...

I am applying to the University of Texas at Austin, as a transfer student to Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Department. I accept as true that human intellect flourishes in a period of relaxation, following strenuous thinking. That is why I decided to pursue the double major of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. Programming is not just about making a machine to do something, but it is about bringing together a cluster of technologies to work in marvelous ways. I realized that, just like a painter with its brush and canvas, a programmer is more limited by its skill ...

There is a good saying: “Hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future”. For me, the future has already started, and the first thing I want to do is to come back to school.
Back in 2006 I had everything I ever wanted: loving girlfriend, friends, plans for future, happiness. However one day I have lost it all. It happened when the girl, I wanted to spend my life with, cheated on me. To make the situation worse, I was unfairly accused in doing scores of awful things, I have never done. Instead ...

Even as people today are obsessed with their only inspiration of making a good fortune, by pursuing a career in business management, or in a fast-growing information technology industry, there are a few others that passionately care about the core of our existence - our physical and mental health.

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. While in high school, I gave tennis lessons to children and seniors, which helped me get in touch with my community.

Personal Statement – Broadcast News Program

Ever since I was young, I have been fascinated by broadcast news. As a child, I would sit down with my parents every night at dinner and watch the people in the “box” cover everything going on the world. While I knew I didn’t understand much of it at the time, I felt like I was witnessing something important, and learning about what was going on in the world. As I got older, I learned more about what it meant to be a broadcast journalist, and began to understand the hard work and dedication that goes into making ...

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 ...
