The college experience means a great deal of things to a variety of people. Personally, I hope to attend a university that intertwines my personal love for learning and academic development with an environment that stresses the importance of my community. My attentions have always, even from early youth, been geared more towards academics and athletics, and pushing myself to succeed in both. I value greatly the time I have in class to experiment and learn with my peers and teachers, as well as the opportunity to devote my time to subjects that interest me personally. As for the community aspect of my life, I have learned over time, through my parents, my basketball team, and my schools, that a strong and supportive community is invaluable …show more content…
Similarly, the University of Chicago’s dedication to research and finding students internships and other opportunities would provide me with the perfect outlet to transform into an adult who is well versed in subjects that connect to future careers and in real world situations. I feel that the University of Chicago would be supportive and helpful in turning my hope to eventually make my way to medical school or into a scientific field related to medicine into a reality. By making use of the “UChicago Careers In..” programs, I could both study and prepare for a world in the medical sciences, as well have the opportunity to pursue my interests in literature and writing, the spanish language, and human rights. In addition, my love for the spanish language and culture could be cultivated and enhanced through UChicago’s various study abroad programs. After spending a few weeks in Spain studying the summer before my senior year, I found that studying across the globe was one of the most exciting and influential moments in my life so far, and felt that, with the right university to help me get there, it would be a part of my future studies. From UChicago’s various on campus programs to help me towards a career, to the study abroad programs that would …show more content…
I discovered countless opportunities to find communities much like those I have at home, and this knowledge drew my interest even more. Basketball has always been a part of my life, and when I discovered that the university has intramural, club, and varsity teams I gratefully realized that I could be a participant and spectator of the sport I love throughout college and beyond. On my high school team we have a saying: “my team is my family”. I have such a strong desire to find a school where I can belong to a similar community and friend group, and the University of Chicago has proven itself to be just that. This idea of a family away from home also stood out in the College Houses. As college is a time for each student to grow up and into their own person, I think that the university’s College Houses would help me do just that. It would give me the opportunity to have pride and a sense of home in a place and community other than that of San Francisco, the opportunity to learn from other students, academically and socially, and the place to discover what it would mean for me to live on my own, yet stay connected with my friends and peers who surround
The first event I attended was the film on October 14 that was put on by the SDSU men’s basketball team, Hoop Dreams. Before the movie started we got to hear stories from two of the seniors on this year’s SDSU’s men’s basketball team. One of the things I learned while attending the event was how basketball changed the lives of those two seniors. The senior players that spoke where from Flint, MI and Chicago, IL. Both talked about how basketball changed their lives for the better.
A School where you are surrounded by people of all ages, you are taught by real college professors and have to take responsibility for yourself. This was a huge step for me, along the way I fumbled and sort of slipped of track, but my devotion for my dream of attending college and entering the health profession pulled me right back on tract. My whole life I have been devoted to education and striving to do better. My strive for bettering myself and reaching my goals and dreams will never stop, no matter
In college you gain experiences that you cannot get anywhere else. You get a taste of real life in college. Even if students are not dorming, we all still learn a lot about life. We go to a school where we may not not know anybody at all, the professors do not baby you like high school
University of Chicago has the major I am interested in, Biological Sciences with a concentration in Neuroscience. Through the wide variety of study abroad opportunities the university offers, I could study about Middle Eastern civilizations in Jerusalem or civilizations while in Vienna. Along with studying abroad, I would love to take a Big Problem course in my senior year of college. A Big Problem course would give me the skills and knowledge needed to face major problems in the field I desire to pursue, the medical field. I aspire to become a pediatric neurologist to help alleviate the impact a mental or intellectual disability has on children with special needs.
During the beginning of this essay of intent for Graduate School admission there at Wingate University-Charlotte, I will have to first state that it was at South Aiken High School where my passion for assisting in the area of basketball began. As a student at South Aiken High School, I became the women’s basketball manager where I managed the team for four years. In those four years of managing the women’s basketball team I assisted the players by having their uniforms clean, filling water bottles, and keeping score during scrimmages and home games. Furthermore, in 2013, I had the honor and privilege of volunteering with the Winthrop University men’s baseball team.
It’s always been a dream of mine to work in the medical field and I can’t be happier that I have an opportunity to fulfill that dream. Isn’t that what America is known for? Coming from Estonia, everybody knows that this country provides opportunities to reach for the stars. I heard that from a young age and grew up knowing that I can become who I want to become. The Program provided by Everest College is exactly what I’ve
Jefferson State Community College has helped me academically getting my education so I can sincerely pursue my major in the future time. College is a very big step to accomplishment in success
Since setting foot on campus two years ago, University of Chicago has been a beacon of inspiration to me. Every aspect, from the flexible, stellar academics to the extensive research opportunities to its proximity to Chicago matches the setting in which I hope to immerse myself in over the next four years. University of Chicago is known as the Life of the Mind, a wonderful reputation. Its unofficial yet infamous motto, “where fun goes to die”, is just as endearing as its true motto, “Crescat scientia; vita excolatur.” I know I will always be searching, reaching, and still feeling content knowing I will never grasp all knowledge.
Ever since grade school, I was passionate about working in the field of medicine, and science. I enjoyed anatomy, medical spelling and terminology, and reading about the healthcare industry. Because of my passion for healthcare, I decided to to attend Health Sciences High. There, I was given the best opportunities, such as, medical internships and college health courses. My plans and goals had turned me into a mature young adult.
I am competitive; I look for the chance to run the extra mile. My competitive nature has aided in everything I commit myself to. Regardless if I am participating in a sporting event, competing for a solo in a musical production, or preparing for a final, I will indubitably devote my time and efforts to perform as well as possible. I take every opportunity that is presented to me and attempted to better not only myself but my community as well. I am confident that the Honors College at the College of Charleston will enable me to devote my attention to my studies, become actively involved within campus activities and academic assemblies, and offer my time and abilities to charitable events and organizations.
This pushed me to start study medicine which I've become intrigued in by the help of mentors and teachers. I want to become a doctor and help serve and promote the health of
Also, my school has an alternate program which is a place for a smaller classroom environment. As well as, close supervision and individualized attention to improve grades, and assistance in curbing excessive absences. Which lowers the dropout rate compared to other school. As well as a clubs, sports, and other activities are funded. All these components are key factors to why the majority of the population attend college and have the opportunity to be an NCAA athlete including myself.
From discouraging me to take science courses abroad, to informing me that I could not take courses towards the pre-med track, my advisor implied that there was no benefit in a study abroad experience. Fortunately, I have discovered that when something is said be impossible, it is usually just a case of lacking the effort necessary for success. Therefore with the proper motivation and surplus of effort I was able to overcome this challenge. But even with the motivation that allowed me to successfully devise a study abroad program that accommodated my academic needs, I had still struggled with finding the support to study abroad where my family has not traveled beyond our hometown. It is hard to not share the excitement of experiencing another country, but rather be filled with worry and doubt about the dangers of traveling and being alone in a new place.
When I applied for college back in high school, I quickly learned that majoring in theater and studying abroad are an unlikely combination, and therefore accepted that I would stay at my campus for every semester. While I logistically understood how crucial this decision was for my personal education, I continuously thought about studying abroad.. I developed a growing fascination with Europe which festers inside of my mind everyday, waiting for a chance to explore something beyond the confinement of my college town environment. Part of this desire to get out comes from my lack of travelling experiences, as I have never left the United States. Growing up, my father continuously proposed the idea of us going backpacking through Europe after
Long before starting my career I already admired the scientific community, especially those working in health related fields. When I finished school, I had a clear picture of what I wanted to do: study medicine and build a scientific career around it. I obtained one of the best statewide national qualification exam (ICFES) and decided to study medicine in one of the best public institutions in Colombia: Universidad del Valle. My undergraduate training gave me a general picture of medicine and biology, and helped me define what I really loved about my career, basic sciences. During my social service and furthers trainings I have been devoted to acquire complementary skills for research, and through research in leishmaniasis I have acquired skills
