The ancient Greeks made lavish use of perfumes and cosmetics in their religious rites, in grooming, and for medicinal purposes. They built elaborate baths and developed excellent methods of dressing the hair and caring for the skin and nails. Greek women applied preparations of white lead on their faces, kohl on their eyes, and vermilion on their cheeks and lips. The brilliant red pigment was made by grinding cinnabar, a mineral that is the chief source of mercury, to a fine powder. It was mixed with ointment or dusted on the skin in the same way as modern cosmetics are applied…
I can definitively, and honestly state that Paul L. Foster School of Medicine is the school of which I have the greatest interest in attending. For eighteen years, I have called the border city of El Paso my home. Our amiable and uniquely culturally diverse population is the reason that I have found living in El Paso to be extremely comforting. The loving nature of the people of El Paso allowed me to develop many friendships, which helped create countless beautiful memories. I want nothing more than to continue my education in El Paso, and to watch this city continue to evolve. Further, I wish to practice medicine in this community which has given so much to my family and me.…

Since I can remember I’ve been fascinated with Hair and Makeup. As a child I used to spend hours doing my hair and till this day I still do. I have a passion for cosmetology and I want to pursue a career in it. I want to learn more about the things I love, I want to be a licensed cosmetologist. I want to make cosmetology more than just a hobby I want it to be my career.…
One of the most important decisions of my life was choosing to go back to school. I was 30 years old, raising two kids at the time, and the last thing in the world I wanted to do was go back to school. I had previously attended cosmetology school and received a degree in its study. I had been working as a stylist for 5 years but it just was not enough. I needed to support my family and live comfortably and working under someone else’s authority could not fulfill my goals and dreams. One dream of mine is to one day own my own salon and become a successful business owner. I knew that a cosmetology degree could not teach me the skills needed to run a business and be successful. This is when I began thinking that I should go back to school for a business management degree. There was only one thing on my mind at this time, my age, I wondered if I could handle college at this point in my life.…
The most important goal for my future is to obtain a satisfying career. Growing up I saw how unhappy my mother was working at a job that she hated just to make enough to provide for our family. I further understood how important a satisfying career was to me when I started working the graveyard shift as a dockworker during community college. I strongly disliked almost everything about the job including the exposure to extreme temperatures, the job’s filthy nature, the long and irregular hours, and most of all because it was unfulfilling. I was miserable with my occupation but I was dependent on it because it was lucrative and provided me with a way to support myself through college. I worked fulltime at this job for two years while also being a fulltime student until I transferred to SIU. The dread that I felt toward my job made me work harder academically because I knew that someday my hard work would amount to a career that I thoroughly…
My professional goal is to become a teacher with hard work and dedication I know I can reach my lifetime goal. For my extra-curricular activities, I have attended the Head Start at Brookhaven Community College where I have volunteered over thirty hours in a semester to get myself prepared for the profession. Going to the local Head Start gave me the opportunity to see if this is really what I want to do for many years. I put myself in a position where I actually enjoyed what I was doing, I had patience which a lot of people don’t have to teach younger kids. I worked with three to five years old, I had to show them I was the leader. In my four years of High School, I have taken my time out to be a leader in my school. I was vice-president freshman…
Having grown up in a single parent home with two sisters who did not complete high school, made the pressure for me to succeed unimaginable. The constant reminder of achieving greatness has stuck with me since I was eight years old. Throughout middle school I was top of my class, in high school I graduated cum laude with a 4.4 GPA and currently in my 1st year of college I am top of my intermediate/college algebra class, I scored the highest grade out of all 5 of my psychology teachers classes, and I have an A in my Philosophy class. My educational goals consist of gaining knowledge throughout my entire life, achieving higher than my goals, being as involved as I can possibly be with my college/ community, and continuing to prosper. Ever since…
The goals I have set for myself for the next five years are to becoming a successful, dependable, and productive teacher. The road to for filling this goal will have many adversities such as long hours of instruction from a six years degree program from University of Phoenix. I will have to dedicate my efforts and time in to achieve this process of obtaining my degrees. The way to achieve these goals it to develop good study habits, read material pertain to education, research information, and also be committed to the process. I will also find a program that I can be an assistance in the school system in order reinforce the skills I will be learn. Then after completing my degree I then will determine the state I want to be teaching in and obtain the licensure for that state. Next are the following steps I will be undertaking to achieve my goals over the next five years. Within these next five year I will be face with many obstacles that will come my way that I will have to overcome, and learn not to be discouraged by them. Some of the obstacles that I’ll face will be time management skills, professional development skills, and planning my lessons. My personal and educational goal is to have my associates, bachelor’s degree in Elementary education from the Axia College University of Phoenix. Then either continue for my master’s with University of Phoenix or transfer to a state university. My plans are to teach primarily the middle school grades or high school in the state I currently live in. I do not want to be just a teacher to my student’s; I want them to be able to say that Ms. Brannstrom was not only my teacher, but a teacher who cares about her students. Plus she motivated and encouraged me to do my very best to be a success in the future plus give the skills to achieve my dreams.…
To conclude, my goals of going to college and being successful are very closely related. Both of these goals along with becoming a registered nurse and a fashion designer are priorities to me. I plan to chase after my dreams and succeed my goals with determination and hard work. I have a long road set out ahead of me, but giving up is not apart of the objective by any…

In around 20 years I would like to have a steady career as an art therapist. There are some obvious steps that I need to take in order to get there. I am also fully aware that there will be some obstacles that I will have to overcome. This includes the time it takes to reach my goal and how well my mental state is due to the hard work, long hours and stress I will have to face. Eventually I will need to check in with myself or another person to let myself know where I am in terms of reaching my goal and how much more work I need to do in order to finish it. Finally I will get to reward myself due to all of the hard work and determination it took to reach the end of my goal.…
