Personal Statement
XXX University

I am NAME, and I'm currently an undergraduate student attending both Quality Leadership University, which is a branch of the University of Louisville Kentucky and Florida State University, both located in Panama City. I am currently in my second year of college, finishing all my general education courses and extremely interested in attending XXX University to pursue the career of CAREER.
As a child my family had always told me education and knowledge are the most important things. I’ve always had full support from my parents and family, and when it comes to anything concerning my education. They continue being a source for my motivation. I am the youngest in my entire family and the first one on the road to go on and finish college. Graduating from college was my grandfather’s dying wish. So not only for my own benefit, my grandfather’s dying wish continues to be a motivation booster in my everyday life. My family encourages and helps me to take part in school activities, with their encouragement in High School; I became the president in my senior year.
I consider myself an open minded person, eager to learn from different racial, cultural, and religious backgrounds, which make me easy to get along with others. I thrive to learn more and more. Over the years I have developed high levels of responsibility as a young adult, organization skills, motivated to learn, hard worker and easy to get along with, which I believe are some great qualities of my part. Some things about how I see my social behavior on campus would be quite simple. I am very much into sports and a very enthusiastic supporter. I do see myself supporting the University team every games and do my best to elaborate in other ways. Other things I do like doing is trying to research all the doubts I may have to clear my thoughts. Reading interesting books, or even articles or magazines are one of things I do in spare time.

    Throughout my entire life, I have found that hard work and dedication can help me achieve any goal that I set. I have overcome the separation and lack of decent parents, incarceration of my oldest brother, and many other events with the morals and skills that were taught to me by my grandparents (who are my legal guardians). Due to their influence and love, I have always put my best foot forward and looked at the world with optimism. Since the second grade, I have been in gifted/honor courses, exceeded through my classes, and have made many friends. My backbone does not consist of selfish desires or influences; it consists of my morals and the family and friends that I do have pushing me to change the world.…

    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. Diversity is something that is important to me and Duquesne University. Being an Carribean-American woman, from the suburbs of Middletown, Delaware will make me a minority in the city of Pittsburg. Being that the foundation of Duquesne University’s rich and vital community of learners is diversity in itself, I can be a key contributor to this community.…

    Many people in my life have prepared me for my future and have taught me how to handle any obstacle thrown my way. My parents have inspired me to never settle for anything but the best, and have taught me the value of hard work and perseverance. Both of my parents came from families without a strong financial basis or a stronghold of people who believed that they could excel; moreover, this led my parents to becoming doctors and providing support in every aspect for my sister and I. My parents’ determination has led to my belief in the veracious message: nothing is going to be handed to you because you must work to make something happen. As I have gotten older and realize the little time I have left sheltered by my parents, this idea has prepared me for the real world due to the fact that I know not to take anything for granted, but to work for what I want to accomplish in life.…

    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.…

    My first reason why family is important to my life is because they have always been there for me. Many of my peers succeed at certain sports or even various classes like English or Calculus. Although, I did struggle with my other activities and curriculum classes, family has always been there. Throughout middle school and high school, I competed with my friend for captain of the soccer team. I didn’t beat him until eighth grade when my hard work finally paid off. Because of this, I now realize how dedication and persistence can help someone achieve one’s goals. If I never decided to join the soccer team and compete for first captain, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to challenge myself and gain the skills and characteristics that would benefit me throughout the rest of my life, if it had not been for my family pushing me to excel.…

    It was mostly teachers who inspired me to keep going, even though the situation at home kept getting tougher. Their words of wisdom and positive attitude towards me gave me motivation to aim for my goals. In particular, my English 2 teacher, Ms.Allbee, believed in me ever since she stepped into her new classroom. With the words of my senior AVID teacher and the compassion of Ms. Allbee, it made me realize I can be anything I wanted to be, despite of where I grew up and situations at home.…

    My family in particular has never known their limits, always thinking we can find a way around any obstacles ourselves, or do anything as long as we work hard enough. They have passed that ideology down to me. Without my family continually supporting me and giving up so much of their lives, my cousins and I would not be where we are at now, living the lives we live. They have given up so much for me, so I do the same for them, putting in an abundance of effort to make my family proud in order to make all of our dreams a reality. I can see my future straight ahead, and I will never give up until I reach it. Even though that vision has evolved and shifted with each passing year, I know the possibilities are endless as long as I work hard enough, and I will never give up until I reach the dream I have worked so hard…

    The reason my family capital will keep me motivated and determined is because the way my mom and family pushed me in school to get my college degree. I have three younger siblings that keep me determined to doing my work and staying in school. My mother is a hard working mother. She would do anything for one of her kids as long as they are getting their education. My mother always took care of me since day one. She’s been my rock! I never had a male role model figure in my life to show me how its done or to show me how to grow into a mature young man. It was always my mother who stuck by my side and never gave up on me when I misbehaved. I always think to myself, how did she do it? Growing up as the second oldest it was me who took care of my younger siblings while my mother was at work and sister away in college. I always took on a lot of responsibility when it came to taking care of my siblings such as feeding them, dressing them and bathing them for school in the morning. My mom always instilled two things in my head as I was growing up, first was to be strong hearted and secondly independent so that I can become successful in life and accomplish each and every goal that I set for myself. Without family capital, I would not have the great support system to help me stay focused throughout my educational…

    I recall a childhood memory. I was not much older than five or six and we moved into an apartment complex in Des Moines, Iowa. Next door there was a little girl about my age. We became close friends. One day it finally dawned on me that she was living with her grandmother and not her parents. I understood only living with one parent, because my parents had divorced, but to not live with either parent seemed very strange to me. I asked my mother why this was. Apparently she had heard from someone else in the building that the girl’s father had left and the mother “couldn’t raise her.” I asked why. I am sure the easiest answer at the time was the one my mother gave me, “She doesn’t have any money.” When I replied with, “Why doesn’t she just get a job,” my mother simply said, “There aren’t any.” My reply, too, was simple, “That’s not fair.” Little did I know I had just formed the basis for the philosophy of my life.…

    In my elementary days, I always remember reading a quotation in our room which writes “Education is the key to success”. This quote was stocked in my mind up to now. It became my guiding light making me more determined and motivated in achieving my goals and be successful. It helped me to follow the right path. In this time I was not very interested in studying because all I wanted to do is play, play and play all the time. Also getting good grades at elementary wasn’t very hard. At a very young age my behavior towards everything was like a mature person already. It’s like I know what I want and need like clothes I want to wear, food I want to eat and places I wanted to go to. Having a broken family, my mother was the one who took care of my brother and me. I felt so bad whenever I see my mom sick because I know that she is working hard for us. Even though she is a single mother she tries very hard to give our necessities and wants. She washes our clothes, cook for us, and she’s always there for us. Being the younger child of two, I was given special treatment. When I want or need something she will do everything just to give to me. I remember one time I wanted to buy something, after a day we went to the store and bought it. I was called the baby of the family.…
