Senior English P2 Personal Statement

Senior English, P2
Personal Statement

Have you ever been terrified of the thought that you'd be performing or speaking in front of ten people or to your class, or even the whole school? I defiantly have! When I joined the step team, all of that changed. I use to be this shy teenager who never wanted to be noticed. Now, i'm always wanting to be seen and stand out. Joining the team boosted my confidence as a person and performer.

Being a member of a dance team that had incredible history of winning continuously has provided many opportunities for my team and me. For instance, our team was invited to perform at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. With great excitment, we flew to New Orleans for a week and performed in front

    Personal Narrative: Indianettes Dance

    Ever since I was a little girl I dreamt about being on the Indianettes dance team. Dancing has been a part of my life from the age of four up until now. When I was younger I was not the best dancer but I loved it, and my mom already paid for my classes so i was kind of stuck doing it anyways. My eighth grade year I was preparing to tryout for the Indianettes, I was stretching, working on my technique, and working on my jumps and turns. It turns out that the old coach Sheri Bradley quit and the Indianettes had a new fairly inexperienced coach named MariAnn Barfus. I wasn't very confident about making the team. Long story short, I ended up making it along with Jaidyn Harris, Hannah Hyde, Daphnie Colpron, Carson Davis, Becca Osterhout, Mechelle…

    Personal Statement Paper: My Professional Goals And Insights

    Personally when I read a written report I judge the level of intelligence of the person or persons writing the report based solely off their ability to use proper grammar and spelling. I have a higher respect for those that can communicate clearly and precisely through written and verbal communication and feel others have the same view. The importance of a clear and precise written or verbal communication does not stop there. There are possible ill effects to the patient if an order is not communicated properly. Wrong medications, dosages, or treatments could be rendered causing a worsening of a condition, irreversible effects, or…

    APA Personal Statement Essay

    During my regular trips to Kenya I have witnessed first-hand the power of health within our world. Visiting one of the biggest slums in Africa (Kibera) has been a driving forces in my aspiration to work with young and vulnerable people; it ignited a belief and desire to make a difference and re-enforced my love for and interest in working with children. My interest in children’s nursing also stems from many hospital visits I was required to make as a child; I became inspired by the work of the medical professionals and how well I was treated, and wondered what it would be like to care for others.

    Personal Narrative: My Sorority

    Upon joining my sorority earlier this semester I never would have thought I would be dancing and making a fool out of myself in front of hundreds of people on Green Street. Here I was though on November 1st, after practicing for at most three days with the other girls and Hockey team, ready to get on stage. My grand big is a dance major so she convinced me to join the Spurs and Struts team because they did not have enough people and I have a hard time saying no. This performance ended up being one of the scariest, but most fun experiences I have ever had. During Spurs and Struts I had lost my dance partner last minute so I had to dance a part alone. Also, I could not grab my rally towel that was tucked in my leggings so that was embarrassing…

    Dance Memoir

    The atmosphere that existed within my dance studio was one so utterly supportive and positive, that my love for dance grew stronger. The girls that I spent hours each week with, became sisters to me. We were able to support one another in class, as well as within our personal lives. By spending so much time with such wonderful people, I’d like to think that I have become a better person. My time dancing at Miss Charity’s Shuffles and Chaînes has taught me how to love myself, and everything that makes me, me. It has taught me freedom of expression, and the value in making art out of what matters to me. It has taught me how to respect other opinions and ideas, even when they are different from my own. It has taught me the value in friendship, and that a healthy support system is the perfect thing to end a stressful day with. It has taught me discipline, kindness, teamwork, and many other valuable traits. The thought of leaving dance is one that I cannot fathom, and it is for that reason that I will try and keep it a part of my life as long as I see fit. I may not want to pursue a career in dance, but I can’t see myself abandoning something that has become a part of who I am. Without dance, I am not Taylor Ann Ruzewski, and I wouldn’t want to be anyone different that the person I am…

    dance class reflection

    Over the course of the semester, I have learned about different types of dances including hip hop, dance hall, and contemporary, Bhangra, street jazz, Latin, zumba and more. In the beginning, I believed that I danced well and dance was easy to do but once I figured out how much effort, practice, coordination, and preparation for a dance, I thought differently. Dance is all about expressing your emotions by using your body, having fun, gaining strength in my muscles and developing a balance not only for dance purposes but for my inner self. I learned that dance is more complex than I believe. There were elements I should consider in my movements like posture, timing, poise, musicality and expression, presentation, power, foot and leg action, and a lot more criteria that need to be required in a dance number. I found that in a group dance, collaboration, cooperation, initiative, and teamwork needs to be contributed as a group. Without it, the dance will look like a mess as none of the moves are synchronized, dance members will be bumping into each other, emphasis will be on different movements and they group will look disorganized, individual techniques will be used to execute the dance and it will look very unprofessional. More personal technique is to exaggerate my movements and be energetic when dancing. I learned a lot of valuable skills in this dance class as well as communication and group work among peers.…

    Personal Statement Essay

    Since I was young, I have had a desire to help others who were in need. I was always keen on learning about the framework of society. I was enthralled by figuring out why people do the things they do, what drives them. Throughout my life, this desire to help people stayed with me. First, it was through informal sessions of friends in high school needing a listening, non-judgmental, shoulder to cry on. As a child I wanted to pursue a career as a dentist and to help people understand the importance of dental hygiene. I attended Mansfield University for a year after I graduated high school where I lived on campus, met new people and no parents to be in my business. Classes became secondary and hanging out was primary. I received my freshman year grades and was in awe because I knew that I was not taking it seriously. Needless to say, I took a few years off of schooling. I then worked for several companies that ranged from customer service to debt collecting to restaurant hospitality. The money was good at the time but I started to realize that I wanted more out of life, and wanted to further my education. I went back to Mansfield University in 2008. This is when I felt the pull of psychology and change majors. I later came to think of this decision as a revolutionary step that turned my attention to what I now am determined to make a calling, and a profession, for a lifetime, for my lifetime. I knew what I wanted to do, but, I still had the dilemma of applying my full self. Even after the time off, I found it hard to focus on school work as much as I should have. All these classes were showing me how to help others, when really, I needed to help myself. I had a few life lessons to learn, and personal issues to understand before I could devote myself to anything.…
