Pediatric Occupational Scholarship
I believe I should be awarded this scholarship because I work hard in everything that is thrown my way. I try to be the best I can be so I can make my way to college possible. To keep myself going in the right direction, I set goals for myself. I have the drive to try my best for any goal I set. I should be awarded this scholarship not only for money, but for a motivation to never give up. My goal is to become a Pediatric Occupational Therapist. The path I have chosen is very difficult and expensive. Without the financial support I need, it will only become far more difficult.But with my determination to succeed in life, there is nothing I can't do. I volunteered at many rehab facilities and they gave me great tips on what to do and

    Jiffy Lube Essay

    A strong sense determination has always been a key part of who I am. I've always felt that, like driving a car, unless you take control of your life and grab the steering wheel, you won't get very far, or go in the right direction. In a world full of indecision, seldom do you find someone who knows exactly who or what they want to be in life; someone who bears determination, dedication, and motivation towards their goal. Happiness is knowing one’s potential and acting on it. My ambition in life is to help others reach their goals. This is what drives me. I want to be a social worker for the disabled and rehabilitation. Getting out of bed in the morning for an average person doesn’t require too much effort, but somewhere in the world a 10 year old little girl is missing both of her legs. No one cares, no one took the time out of there busy schedule to believe in her. Somewhere in the world, a mother is telling her little boy why daddy can’t play catch anymore. The neighbors stare in disgust; they don’t know he had his arm blown off by a landmine in Vietnam while defending his country. Someday I will be the one to teach the little boy with a lung disease how to sing, and the kid with the prosthetic foot how to walk. I get my inspiration from my father. My father was born with a mild form of cerebral palsy; a condition due to a lack of sufficient oxygen at birth causing a disability in his legs. This was no one’s fault, his parents and family loved him very much, yet he has had a struggle all his life. He spent much of his childhood in surgery and recovery, including near 2 years in a swimming pool learning how to walk. While other children were learning to run, he was learning to crawl. While other children were learning mathematics, he was in a hospital room. Throughout his life he suffered the inhumanity and absence of compassion that was to be expected from his attending school. Friends weren’t friends; people have a tendency to treat those with…

    Pediatric Dentist Scholarship

    My parents are paying for mine and my sister's tuition fee for now as I have 3 more siblings and so they will not continue to do so. I just got my first job where they pay really less so I am unable to pay the full tuition fee which for this semester happened to be almost 2 grand. I have also applied for FAFSA but due to some paperwork reasons, I am not receiving any amount. This scholarship would mean a lot to me as I had a great GPA in High School and so I am working hard in Collin College to maintain it which I know I will. This scholarship would be a stepping stone towards my goal which is to be a Pediatric Dentist and I would be truly grateful for such an…

    Why I Chose The Courage To Grow Scholarship

    I firmly believe the "Courage to Grow" scholarship should be awarded to me because since I was very young, I have always had a strong love of learning. I did well throughout elementary, middle, and high school. I have always been motivated to do my best in school. Now that I am a second semester college sophomore, my love for school has only grown. During high school, I maintained a 3.3 GPA, and now that I am in college, I have managed a 3.4 GPA. This semester, I am working even harder for a higher GPA. In the spring of 2017, I plan to transfer as a junior to East Texas Baptist University. I have dreamed of attending this college since I was a freshman in high school. Since this is a private university, this dream will only come true based…

    Occupational Therapy Application Essay

    I came to the United States when I was 13 years old. I did numerous job shadows on a different medical career from school. Upon coming to America my grandma has a cardiac arrest and she was sent to Rehabilitation Center. Visiting my grandmother, a fascinating thing I saw was Occupational therapist assisting my grandma to improve the ways that support her to progress the skill that will lead to achieving success in daily living, such as, motor, social, personal, academic and vocational. My grandmother was there for 25 days and I used to accompany her every single day to rehab. Through my observations with grandma in adult developmental disabilities, other like pediatric, and psychosocial therapy, I have seen that Occupational therapist can progress a person's standard of living and allow them to explore the greater level of freedom and their existence of being able to do things on their own. As a pre- Occupational therapy major I would like to offer my knowledge in the field where I could spend my time with people…

    Personal Narrative: A Career As An Occupational Therapist

    I am excited for the challenges I will face in the upcoming chapter of my education that will eventually lead me into an interesting and incredibly rewarding career. I have reflected upon the qualities required of a successful Occupational Therapist and genuinely believe I possess these characteristics. I possess an intrinsic desire to help others and assist them in helping themselves. My determination, listening skills, patience, relatability, and hands-on approach to problem solving skills are key components for the achievement of my goals. I aspire to be of service to others, specifically those in rural communities. Occupational Therapy will allow me to reach out to these populations in many different ways, and allow me to make the greatest contribution to society that I possibly can. If I can make a difference in even one person’s life, my life-long goals will be satisfied. I am certain Occupational Therapy is the right career path for me in every way as it is precisely what I am looking for in a vocation.

    Physical Therapy Personal Statement

    I had the pleasure of shadowing a physical therapist in a home health setting treating children under the age of three. At first what initially looked like playing with the kids turned out to be much harder when I tried emulating what the therapist did. Throughout my senior year and even more now as a graduate, I realize I'm still constantly learning. I desire to continue to observe different settings as well as retake a class in order to prepare myself for school. Beyond shadowing I jumped on an opportunity to work side-by-side therapists. I took a position as a rehab aide at an outpatient clinic and enjoy seeing all I’ve learned so far being applied every day. I have absorbed knowledge of different protocols, handing practices, and front office operations. I relished being a part of the treatment process as well as the everyday tasks involved in running a clinic. It opened my eyes to better see the depth and breadth of the world of physical…

    Definition Essay: Perseverance

Currently, as a C.N.A (Certified Nursing Assistant) I am able to help people with their activities of daily living, but my goal is to help others persevere through challenges while I work as a Physical Therapist . I have encountered many challenges as an adult returning to school, such as with my finances. Although it is great being financially secure, being a C.N.A. is not…
