...answer to the question of what I wanted to be. After all, I just wanted to help less fortunate people and be someone that was making a difference in the world. Blah, Blah, Blah - same thing that everyone says. I really did not see how math could ever be used to help anyone but an accountant (boring). During my junior year of high school, my physics teacher introduced me to mathematical concepts that I had never thought of. Mr. Edkins made me realize that there is creativity in math. The idea that calculus could actually be used to determine optimal solutions to everyday problems fascinated me. He taught me that indeed I could be something larger than just myself. I could make a difference in world by pursuing an education in the field of engineering. I could have a career that combined my love for both math and science....

...Writing Your Graduate School Application Essay Generally speaking, there are two types of application essays for graduate school: the statement of purpose (SOP) and the personal statement. (Refer to FAQs to find out how the two types are different.) Both types let you convince the admissions committee that you are a good fit for the program and can contribute to the department. Although different graduate schools may ask you to answer different prompts, most ask that you write no more than a two-page application essay. The application essay is difficult to write because you must pitch your candidacy to a few department faculty members who read through hundreds – or sometimes thousands – of other essays. In this handout, you will learn how to show these busy readers that you will contribute meaningfully to the university and their department. 1. Relate your past and present experiences to the future. In their application essays, many applicants make the mistake of underemphasizing the future. But it’s important that you show how your past experiences have informed your present work, and how your present work can be extended to the future or raise new research questions. Admissions committees assess many qualified applicants based on whether their research will reflect positively on the university and their department. Committees will think your past and present work is relevant only if it relates directly to your plans for the future. If you don’t know exactly where your current...

...people, literature is thought-provoking and life changing. But to me, literature is just another form of entertainment and should not be required in English 214. There are only a few skills that can be used after studying literature. Literature classes have always been, in my experience, analyzing what the author wrote and trying to find his or her messages between the lines. Teachers stress their students to figure out the author's mood and find the symbolisms and themes that are supposed to be dissected from character developments and conversations. But to this day since the second grade, I still don't see the relevance or importance of any of these tasks to my future career in the medical field. I know that before I can actually become a medical practitioner, there will be many essays...

According to "The Function of Protocols" (N.D), "In the sending computer, the steps must be executed from the top down, and in the receiving computer the steps must be carried in the opposite order from the bottom up”.

...Example Social Work Essay ukessays.com /services/example-essays/social-work/social-care-practice.php Running Head: SOCIAL CARE PRACTICE An Investigation of Principles, Care Strategies and Theories Related to Social Care Practice Part One This section provides a summative assessment of the principles, care strategies and theories that direct social care work within the UK. Specifically, the application of support principles, procedures for protecting clients from harm and the advantages of utilising a person-centred approach in working with clients are discussed. Additionally, ethical issues, applicable policies, legislation issues and regulation and the impacts of existing policies are presented in relation to providing social care. Applications of Support Principles Ensuring that individuals are properly cared for in health and social care requires the application of a number of support principles. Examples of these support principles include equity in the provision of care, universality in its accessibility and providing multiple financial options for individuals of all backgrounds (Alcock, Daly & Griggs, 2008). As the individuals who require health and social care services differ in their ethnic, cultural, social and socioeconomic backgrounds, these support principles are pivotal in meeting the needs of the greatest percentage of the population (Alcock et al., 2008). Valuing diversity and providing support for families of varying backgrounds is a critical component...

HOSA stands for Health Occupations Students of America. I was allowed to join HOSA my sophomore year of high school and was the best thing I did. All I wanted to do is one day become the club's president so I could share my passion with other students. My senior year of high school was the year I could apply to become president of the club. I knew only one of the teachers pretty well and she would tell me I would be a good president, but I was head to head with three other applicants and I did not know the other teacher well enough.

...STATEMENT OF CULTURAL COMPETENCE IN TRAINING AND EDUCATING PEOPLE OF COLOR It is both a privilege and a pleasure to address the National Minority AIDS Council to provide you with an essay of my credentials. My credentials for being placed in this position as candidate of the Training of Trainers span my medical academic career, which began when I was an undergraduate student of Nutrition at Hunter College in New York City.

...writing is that applicants fail to take a thorough and analytical look at themselves and their objectives. Admission committee members are looking for interesting, insightful, revealing, and non-generic essays that suggest you have successfully gone through a process of careful reflection and self-examination. 2. Set Yourself Apart Committees are looking for something PERSONAL and ANALYTICAL. This means sharing information you rarely share with others and assessing your life more critically than usual. This approach is key to a successful personal statement. Exercise: In order to begin writing your personal statement – your story—you’ll need to answer some basic questions to prepare yourself. Questions: * What is special, unique, distinctive, or impressive about you or your life story? What details of your life (personal or family problems/ history, any genuinely notable accomplishments, people or events that have shaped you or influenced your goals) might help the committee better understand you or help set you apart from other applicants? * When did you originally become interested in this field and what have you since learned about it—and about yourself—that has further stimulated your interest and reinforced your conviction that you are well suited to this field? This does not mean that you should write, “Why I want to be a lawyer.” Instead, tell what insights you have gained from certain...

...Real Essays From Stanford Medical Students Comments Regarding Plagiarism The essays contained within this document were written by current Stanford medical students and have been carefully read and reviewed by file reviewers, interviewers, and admissions staff and officers at Stanford Medical School as well as dozens of other medical schools across the country. We must emphasize that you need to be honest in writing your personal statements. If you borrow material or use quotes from other sources, make sure to credit them appropriately. Not giving credit where it is due is not only disastrous to your essay, but it is also illegal. Admissions officers read hundreds, and even thousands of personal statements each year, and have developed a fine tune sense for detecting plagiarism as well as remembering the essays they’ve read. You owe it to yourself to be hones, open, and sincere in writing your personal essay as it is a reflection of yourself and what is important in your life and your decision to pursue a career in medicine. Stanford Essays The following essays were written by real Stanford medical students in preparing their applications. We suggest that you read through all of the essays to get a diverse view of the types of themes and styles which have been successfully used for personal statements. Each personal statement is exactly that, personal. No one format or style will work for everyone. However, there are structures and themes which are common throughout...
