Statement Of Purpose: Philmont Scout Ranch

The Park Ridge Country Club was started by Dr. A.G Buchheit and a group of people that shared interest in starting a country club in 1906. The golf course was designed by Herbert J Tweedie and was originally a 9-hole course but later was changed to an 18-hole course. The course was also recently renovated in 2001 the course was restructured by David Esler to make it better for the golfers by redesigning certain holes. The clubhouse was created in 1925 and has been remodeled over the years. The country club hosts several tournaments throughout the year.

Golder Ranch Fire District (GRFD) prides itself on providing the highest level of service to the members of the district. GRFD has created a set of standards that reflect the high level of services provided. These standards can be found in both the Mission and Values Statement. Both statements represent the goals that GRFD strives to achieve and maintain. If an organization wants to be successful they must have a set of goals and values.

This could be a good thing, even though their parents don’t really take care of them, they are still there to show the Wells children how not to act or treat other people. Jeannette’s parents are happy with being homeless, the Wells children did not follow their parents' tracks. Jeannette and her sibling “worry about Mom and Dad huddled on a sidewalk somewhere” (4). The story opens off years in the future, Jeannette is living in New York City, where her parents also reside. Jeannette has her own apartment living happily while her parents are digging for garbage.

Parenting is one of the most important if not the most important responsibility someone can undertake. A good parent is responsible for the physical and emotional development of a child who in the beginning is totally dependent on parents. Parenting is not an easy job. If you are incapable of this responsibility, you should not be a parent. At the beginning of her book, The Glass Castle, Jeannette Walls, her parents were incapable of providing a safe environment for their young, innocent children.

Not many people know that “One in 10 [Millennials] say their parents have accompanied them to job interviews and 3% of recent college graduates report that their parents have actually sat in on the interview” (Stahl). This is a product of overparenting which impairs the growth of children. A great example of overparenting gone too far is Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. In this play Lord Capulet, Juliet’s father, Thinks that he is doing the best for her by choosing that she will marry a man named Paris. He does not ask her if she wants marry Paris at all.

I knew that I wanted to be a doctor since early high school. Experience in a hospital and clinic setting, both personal and professional, have given me many reasons to pursue medicine. Through these viewpoints, I have gained an understanding of patient hardships like financial and travel issues, the grief associated with loss, and the trust that accompanies putting yourself or a loved one into the hands of physicians. These experiences have built empathy and compassion in me that is necessary in medicine.

Finally, after nearly 2 weeks of driving we arrived in California. In the beggining, work was hard. My brother, father, and I worked for long hot days in the long fields with many other children,and fathers. Eventually, we started getting the hang of things,but it definitely wasn’t any easier. My mom cleaned and cooked, well Anna made new friends in the camp.

Therefore, my mother played both parenting roles. Which made things tough. It was not the best situation, but it has molded, and benefited me in many ways: For starters, it taught me how to survive with a limited supply of food, money, and/or resources, etc. My family was not rich, but as my mother would often say, we were “one paycheck away from being poor.” My sisters and I never went to bed hungry, but I can remember on numerous nights we had to be creative with making dinner to feed our four family household.

Implementing this duty at such a young age makes these tasks seem regular to the child. This is clearly shown in Jeannette Walls's The Glass Castle. At age 13, when Jeannette is left home alone for two months to take care of her younger siblings; her mother gives her $200 to pay for expenses. When first given the money she focuses on paying for utility bills and food. Jeannette comes up with a well organized budget plan to finance themselves.

I. Mission Statement with Goals When I entered the University of Arizona my main objective was to take advantage of all the learning opportunities offered during lectures and labs. Here I have had the opportunity to take interesting and challenging courses. My ultimate academic goal is to graduate as prepared as possible in order to put all my knowledge to use in my future career. My career goal is to form part of a public or private agency that helps regulate or monitor the conditions of the environment. I want to be part of an organization that helps remediate all the damage caused by the increasing contamination in the world.

I will never forget that encounter the intense sun, the endless horizon, the infinite shades of blue that dissolved any boundary between sky and trees. The views were like swimming into a kaleidoscope, deceptively plain "Lake Winaukee" sign on the outside, but a show of colors on the inside, waiting to shock and, mesmerize me. Those colors! Sails on the horizon covered the lake; streaks of sunlight illuminated them, the swaying wildlife creating a dance of rhythm. Beautiful, preserved life synchronizing every movement with the camp sight creating one living entity.

Being raised in a single parent household my mother tried to take on both roles and raised me to become the man I am today. Always pushing to make A’s and B’s and be an honor roll for majority of my grade school career, and having me in school every day and

As a child we watch our parents and we learn from them. We learn how to cook, how to clean, how to raise children, how to do right from wrong, how to work, how to do things we don't want to, how to be happy, how to have fun, and many more things.

When we arrived at base camp we were so excited. Not only because the morning of Pretty Place always had the best breakfast, but because we got to take a three hour nap afterwards! It was one of the best days ever at camp, and even though we take the same trip every year, each one holds a special place in my heart. I both eagerly await and dread this year’s venture to the breathtaking view. On one hand, I can’t wait for the incredible view and amazing experience.

Becoming a father in my life was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Living for someone else and not just yourself is a special feeling. Knowing that it is your sole duties in life are now to love, provide, teach, mentor, discipline and love some more. I always hear people say “ Im don 't think I 'm ready to be a parent.” and to be honest I do not think anyone is ready to be a parent.
