Just two years ago, if someone would have told me that I would have a 3.9 GPA in college and that I would have dreams that are close to coming true, I would have laughed straight in their face. I was never truly inspired before in life, and I thought, with all the trouble that I got into in high school, that I was just a bad person, and that bad people do not get to achieve dreams. I was confused, a mess, and I did not even know how a "troubled youth" as I was labeled, would be able to do successfully in life. As I stated before in this application, I was diagnosed with a lot within high school, but it does not start there. No, this all goes back to preschool, where I was actually kicked out of my preschool and was told that I required “psychiatric” …show more content…
It even gets more psychotic by the fact that my parents were also getting a divorce at the time. As you can tell, my psyche was not in the best of shapes when I came to high school, thus the psychological breakdown I had, which caused all the diagnoses I mentioned above. If you did not think it could get worse…it did, as when I got out of high school, I was also diagnosed with Trichotillomania. It is a branch of an OCD based disorder, where you have the constant unknown compulsion to pull out your own hair. Ironically enough, everything got better once I got to college. I had a goal in life, I had a drive, and I had a support system that wanted me to succeed. I stopped getting in trouble, and focused all my energy within my academics, and it really did pay off. I am now a part of Phi Theta Kappa, with a 3.91 GPA currently, and I honestly could not be happier. It is still a constant struggle every day, to deal with all of my problems without any form of medical help besides counseling, but it’s something I’ve learned to survive …show more content…
I was inspired also by my high school psychology teacher, to become a Doctor in Psychology. I have realized that my dream, is to open up my own practice, and to help other "troubled youth" whom were given up on by everyone else, and to give them a chance as well. I want to be the person to be able to give that help, especially when no one gave it to me. I want to be able to help people who are not fully understood, and to educate others whom do not believe mental illness to be a "real thing". Overall, I believe a Rutgers education would give me the ability to achieve my overall dream in the end, which is of course as stated above, to open up my own practice and to help other troubled youth whom have been given up on. I know it would really help as well because Rutgers has one of the best psychology programs within New Jersey, and I would love to be a part of that
I always have a backup plan. I feel that no matter what happens in my future I will end up happy no matter the problem. In this essay I will describe why I should be in your college and the benefits it will not only do for me, but the rest of the world too. Since I was young I have always had one dream; to end up somewhere in the medical field. I know a lot of people whose dream changes almost every day, and that 's
Prior to entering a public health program, my initial goal was to study psychology in order to understand human
After high school I am hoping to attend Indiana University to major in Human Biology in pursuit of one day becoming a physician’s assistant. During my high school years I have put fourth much effort to succeed to the best of my ability. I have taken many courses throughout the years that have pushed me and allowed me to start shaping the career path that I plan to take. During the summer before my junior year I found out that my parents were getting a divorce. When I found out, the only thing I could think about was how my life was never going to be the same.
I can contribute my hard work to the Honors College community. I think that I am hardworking and I love to work with others to help solve problems because two heads are always better than one. I would contribute my ideas to the lessons and help others when they need it. I love to be able to work with other people outside my comfort zone and be able to hear their ideas and combine ideas to come up with something that will benefit everyone in the community.
I plan on furthering my research in how mental illnesses affect large communities, with my newly earned M. D/Ph.D. in Psychiatry and Biology. With the knowledge gained from medical school, I intend to give back to my community by opening a practice in my hometown of Gary, Indiana. As I reflect on the challenges that I have faced within my community, I am grateful. I wonder who I would have been if I had not been pushed to the limit and have been taught the values of hard work, education, and persistence. As I progress towards my future, I am eager for more misfortune because I know that from it I can rise and bring others up
As a result of being dedicated to my job, I got promoted to Assistant Manager. Realizing working hard can accomplish anything, I gained confidence in myself. As time went on working at my profession, my goals on school were forgotten. Envisioning more for my future, I decided to go after my dream as Nicole did and applied to Wright College. Having a clearer view of what I want in my future, I will do anything necessary to accomplish my goals.
I am currently 16 years old I attend a magnet school named Miami Arts Studio 6-12 @Zeldaglazer my art is dance. I have been dancing for about 5 years and its my hobbie. All of my classes are honors and my GPA is a 3.3 and unwaited GPA is a 3.0 I am a hard working student that loves school. As my community service i go to police explores. Police Explorers is a sort of junior police academy; aside from teaching high school students basic law enforcement training and procedures, the program emphasizes leadership and community building and outreach.
I personally believe it’s better to aim low and be happy that I achieved what I wanted rather than plan too far ahead and be disappointed in having not achieved that specific goal. While this sounds like it would screw me in the long term so far in this life minus a few things that were out of my control then I have done a pretty good job so far. So now for the reason why I believe that you risk hurting yourself in the long road by planning ahead too far, the brain does better with short term goals, and finally why I believe this to be the case using examples from my life. I would also like to apologize for how dark this essay might get on that last reason and hope that this doesn’t off put me in your eyes. (talk about how depression started
I am extremely excited to be able to study abroad, however my GPA is a possible deterrent to this opportunity. Last semester, I had 16 credits and it was my first semester in the business school. I also began a role as peer mentor, switched jobs mid semester, and moved off campus as well. All of this adjustment contributed to my semester not starting off as strong as it should have. I really struggled with Accounting 100.
1) Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what lessons did you learn? The transition from adolescence to adulthood was a difficult time. Although I had a wonderful childhood, I needed to grow up fast for my family. I am the first born of three to parents who are deaf and mute.
As humans, people overcome various obstacles and hurdles when walking towards the path of success. Personally, there were many situations which resulted as I continued my arduous work as a student to fulfill a goal of helping my parents. Although my intentions were in the benefit for my parents who sacrificed much for me, the path towards graduation began extremely rough. At my preparatory school where I began my freshman year, the aggressive environment in both academically and socially faltered my ego to potentially do more than I believed I was capable of achieving. At the beginning of sophomore year, I transferred to a public school where I grew independent from others.
The first half of this semester was swift and I can’t believe how fast it passed by. College is a whole new world for me that I had never imagined with a lot of new experiences that I hope will shift me into a better and smarter person. There are more things I can do in college that I would have never dared to do in high school and I am happy for these new freedoms. I am able to eat in class, leave class without asking and they don’t care if I pay attention or not. My high school teachers would always tell me to wait for the bell, sometimes would not let me leave and if I did not pay attention they would yell.
I have experience many financial hardships throughout my college career. This upcoming year I will max out my loan options and I will have to fund my education through my own personal expenses. Even though I am a dean's list student, I do not receive any scholarship funds from my university. I currently work part time in order to pay my school bill and my rent, but it won't be enough to fully cover my expenses. This past year has been particularly hard and I reached a point financial that I had to apply for a one-time emergency scholarship fund in order to remain in school.
When deciding where I wanted to go for college I started big Colorado, California, New York,Georgia, basically every state was a contender for college. But then in May of my sophomore year of high school I visited New York City, the city that never sleeps drew me in the second I stepped out of my cab into Time square. The amount of people, signs and smells, can be repulsive and overwhelming for many people but to me it made me feel at home. Because of my instant love for the New York I knew college in the city would be a no brainer looking at Parsons and FIT, I always thought those would be my top choices. But then came Marist, this college a short train ride away from the city is no doubt my dream school and has been since I stumbled across
Before considering law school, I imagined that becoming a physician would be my calling, but it was not until I worked at a Children’s Hospital that I realized that this was not the case. While working at the hospital, I witnessed a lot of pain and suffering of children, which was unbearable for me to watch. My heart went out to the children and their families going through such tough times, but it also, made me realize that it takes a special kind of person to execute certain types of jobs. At that moment I experience an epiphany that I needed to rethink my career aspirations. I realized that this was not the profession that was best fit for me and my grades reflected it.
