OSU Personal Statement
I started taking classes part-time at OSU my junior year of high school, and full-time my senior year. By the time I graduated high school, I took 40 credit hours of classes at OSU and had a 3.81 OSU GPA. Despite the tough coursework I found time to partake in numerous extracurricular activities. When I officially joined OSU as a freshman, I joined the small biomedical science major and biological sciences group. In these groups, I have not only helped my peers with their academics, but I have given them guidance on how to simultaneously manage both their academics and fitness pursuits. I started my first semester by frequently going to the gym and weightlifting. Subsequently, many of my friends noticed my discipline while excelling in my coursework and sought weightlifting guidance. Almost every time I went to the gym, I would bring someone who was interested in beginning a weightlifting program. I received a variety of questions every day from people about weightlifting and fitness. I began creating beginner and intermediate workout regimens for my peers, and eventually taught my peers to make their own workout plans and continue pursuing their fitness goals while maintaining their grades. I have led many people into the world of weightlifting and they frequently tell me the numerous …show more content…
At first glance, it seems like a club that would not get much traction and quickly fizzle out. On the contrary, the club now meets regularly and has an academic advisor. The girl has raised awareness for the destruction of not only duck habitats, but other endangered animals. The club even has a growing number of involved members, including myself. Like this, OSU has so many unique clubs; pizza club, knitting club, etc. These clubs enrich the experience the university offers, and I hope to facilitate them as an alumnus so future students can have the one of a kind experience I am blessed to

    Upon entering my freshman year of college I recognized I was not fully prepared for the rigorous academic scheme provided at my school, Howard University. One of the main observations was my peers received educational training in Advanced Placement General Chemistry, Advanced Placement Organic Chemistry and even had the opportunity to attend actual college courses during his/her high school careers. Those classes were not an option for me through my high school. Soon I found myself falling into a pit of failure. Long hours of studying and tutoring only produced D’s, F’s and an occasional C on my Chemistry reports. I was thoroughly ready to quit. I still remember sitting in my professor’s office in tears when he informed me that my academic…

    My interest in the media world started back when I was in 7th grade. This spark first began in photography and has done nothing but grown since then. As I grew older this curiosity went from photography to television. The particular aspect of this field that draws my attention is the world of producing. Although I do not have any prior experience with producing, I know that an internship with WVUA 23 would be the perfect first step in one day becoming a producer. I learn very quickly and I will not stop something until it is completed in a proper manner. I am very eager to learn everything I can about producing and I know I will be able to do so through this internship. I enjoy working in a team-oriented setting where there is one common goal, as I am able to get along with all different types of people. I do not feel that any job is beneath me, and I am willing to do whatever possible in order to gain knowledge in…

    I have been raised by parents that believe in my potential to create positive change in the world, and that cultivate my desire to help people on a global level. My upbringing was the genesis of my ambition, but the growth of my specific interest in political science stems from my experience as a translator in Honduras. Until then, I was I didn’t realize how much power one’s voice carries. Without the power to speak out, people are defenseless, and as Euripides described, “It is slavery, not to speak one’s thoughts”. The people of rural Honduras are ruthlessly exploited by the few sources employment. These employers, cognizant of their leverage, set their wages so low that their workers cannot afford to leave the countryside or get a higher education. With no aid from their government, the rural Hondurans fall into a virtually inescapable and corporately-systemized poverty…

    Extracurriculars, especially athletics and volunteering, have a very special role in my life and were something that I did not want to forfeit. Although difficult, I have been able to continue to play three varsity sports, swim year round for a competitive club team, volunteer regularly, and participate in clubs at school. The only way I have been able to maintain such a schedule is with excellent time management skills and the support of my family. I take advantage of every opportunity I have to do homework and study, including during my commute to and from school and practice, during breaks between classes, and before practices. In order to avoid unnecessary stress, I must be diligent about completing my homework and projects. These skills will be valuable to me at the CGA, where I will be expected to balance a rigorous course load, athletics, and military…

    The Spiritan founders and sponsors of Duquesne University have always believed in welcoming all and excluding none; which is why the students, faculty and staff of this university come from a collection of different ethnicities, races, cultures and backgrounds.

    Vivian Greene quotes, “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass…it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” This is a quote that empowers me as an adult learner. In fact, it is the single most inspiring quote that helped me through my undergraduate studies. It reminds me that I can’t let the storms of life and my own insecurities cripple my dream of becoming an educator. By accepting to “dance in the rain”, I am embracing every obstacle along my educational journey, and I will succeed. In fall 2014, I accomplished the first stage of my dream by obtaining an undergraduate degree and now seek to complete the second stage by obtaining a master’s degree.…

    During my first year at Florida State University I plan to grow as an individual. To achieve this is not only important to fill in your head with loads of knowledge, but also to see other cultures, meet new people, discover myself, discover my weaker and/or stronger points, and squeeze my stronger abilities at my maximum to achieve my goals. I plan to help others as much as I’ve been doing until now, or even more. I believe in creating a better atmosphere where peers help each other in whatever they need. I’ve been lucky spent almost sixteen years of my life in a school where they taught me to excel by working as a team. I plan to bring these philosophy to FSU because if instead of competing with one another, we bring what we are best at to…

    I am a born leader and I would love to be able to bring my passion for leading and hard-work to Indiana University. Over the years I have moved a lot and been to four different schools throughout middle school and high school. At first it was a struggle to keep my grades up while trying to make friends and play sports, but I have since found that the key is all things in moderation. I play tennis and am a cheerleader for my high school and plan on continuing these sports while at IU. I love the spirit that revolves around the school sports and other events at Indiana University. I would be very involved with keeping the Indiana Hoosier traditions alive. I also plan to be involved with the Greek life at Indiana University. If I am given the opportunity to attend Indiana University, I would want to study business.…

    In 1999 on August 3rd I was born in Canton, Georgia. My parents raised me in my infant years in Canton, but we later moved to Pickens County.

    Being a freshman at Miami University, many things are very different from the public school educational background back in Brooklyn, NY, where I was born and raised, until now residing in Oxford, OH, attending college. So far I have completed my first semester of college. I play football for the Miami University Football Team, but did not get to play my first year. So basically my hobbies are really just football. I attend Miami to study and receive my bachelors in Kinesiology/ Athletic Training. It is a real interesting and very fun major to be studying. I am not to very sure about any minors, because my academic interest has so many different opportunities just under that one major. I am currently taking 18 credit hours this semester. I have 3 Kinesiology courses, KNH 212, KNH 209, and KNH 206. AMS 207 (American Studies), ENG 105, ENG 112 (English), and EDT 110. Most of the writing assignments in my courses are very similar.

    Abilene Christian University exceeds my expectations of a Christian University. I would like to go to a school that not only calls themselves "Christian" but actually acknowledges Jesus Christ as the rock of their school and education. Personally, God comes first in my life, a university that feels the same is absolutely magnificent! My beliefs are such that it is not about a religion but rather a relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ. I do not belong to a denomination, I belong to God only because the relationship that we have is much greater than any religious personnel could give me.…

    I am deeply honored to be among the great students who are being considered for the National Honor Society. Being nominated to be a member of the national honor society shows me that I have achieved my goal to work as hard as I possibly can to stand out among my class mates academically. I feel that this organization does great things, and I’m happy I can play a role in helping the impression that is made. The National Honor Society is known for recognizing students with outstanding grades and commendable characters; I feel that I have both. Last quarter I received a 3.5. I have been a football quarterback for a while, and being a part of the team has taught me a lot about teamwork and dependability. I try to bring what I learn on the field…

    Do student athletes make the most of their opportunity to obtain a post-secondary education? Do they have the same academic success as those students that are not athletes? Are student athletes just “dumb jocks?” The answers to these questions might surprise you. Much research has been done to dispel the myth that athletes going to college are only there to play sports with little regard to their education. Programs have been created to assure that colleges and universities hold athletes to the same standards as the everyday student. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has decided that the “magic number” to put the “student” back into “student-athlete” is 925 (Hamilton).…
