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

    How Ballet Dalton Changed My Life

    Even though I was practicing outside of the dance studio, I still felt like I was not as good as the other dancers. I was still feeling like I had to work harder than the other dancers, as well. The people that I was dancing with had been dancing since they were three; whereas, I started dancing when I was eight years old. Even though it might not seem like that big of a difference, to me it made a huge difference.…

    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…

    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…

    Cheer Career Progression

    An experience that has significantly transformed me into the person I am today are the beginning years of my cheer “career.” The first three years were the most difficult that i have faced throughout the nine years I have cheered in total. I was not the most athletic, skinniest, or skillful cheerleader there can be. Also since i was new to the cheer world, as all cheerleaders call it, I didn't have as many friends. As time went on I slowly started to get the hang of things and what went on with this new sport. My coaches always punished me in everything I did. I had to prove myself to everyone that I can be just like them and nothing less.…

    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…

    As a child I always wanted to go professional but as I grew older felt like my chances of doing so were not realistic. I did not have the training that every else had, plus I am dark skin, you rarely I see a chocolate girl en pointe. However coming to Towson has gave me hope. I discovered DTH and I made it my goal to dance there. I may not ever be company member but I would be doing myself a disservice if I did not try. Someone in the department told me that I have to believe that I am more than enough, and in that moment it clicked for me. Because I am more than enough I will dance for a lifetime. We are all unique and what I have to offer to the world is important. Going to DTH will not only help me improve as a dancer but it will also be a symbol of courage to toward “dancing for a life…

    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.…

They gave me the opportunity to show them what I can do and help me continue to get better from there. You aren't just another number, you’re a person that they actually care enough to invest time into.…

    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.…
