Statement Of Purpose: Lewis And Clark College
While attending Lewis & Clark College I will foster my passion for nature, environmental advocacy, and politics. Participating in things like the Environmental Living Learning Community will provide an engaging and enriching space to form long-lasting connections with people who share the same desire to promote environmental sustainability. Portland and the beautifully wooded campus at Lewis & Clark provide the type of natural environment that inspires my initiative for environmental advocacy. I look forward to exploring the opportunities near and within Portland, including the many hiking trails. The outdoors have been an important part of my life since childhood. Looking back, some of my happiest memories are from visiting National Parks,

    I initially considered Lewis and Clark Law School, as it seemed like a natural choice after attending Lewis & Clark College as an undergraduate, and never leaving Portland. Although I am considering moving from Portland for law school, I would be happy to stay here and continue to enjoy all this city has to offer. I love the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, and am already acquainted with the gorgeous forest surrounding Lewis and Clark, which is a great place for a peaceful walk to clear one’s head. I also appreciate many other things this city has to offer from delicious food, and especially coffee, to friendly people.…

    As soon as I feel the sun’s warmth on my face peeking over from behind the rim of Crater Lake National Park in Oregon, I am wide awake. I open my tent to see deep, vivid reds and pinks, along with bright oranges and yellows and the luminous sun in the middle of nature’s masterpiece. Although it is only around forty degrees this morning, I can feel my heart burning with the desire to explore the various park features. It is only my first day at Crater Lake, and I can already feel myself beginning to love this unique, wonderful place.…

    I am very excited to apply to Yeshiva Achei Tmimim where I hope to accomplish much study and growth. Although I do not come to Achei Tmimim with any specific goals, I do plan to actively explore the many options you make available. I am honest with myself and I do know what fits when I find it. I have watched what Torah paths my older brothers and sisters have taken and want to check out my own choices. I am ready to do the work it takes to find a path that’s right for me. Based on Achei Tmimim’s reputation, I think it would be the right place for me. I discussed my plans with the Monsey Community mashpia and Chinuch Advisor, Rabbi Zalman Markowitz, who was very supportive of my move and strongly encouraged me to apply.…

    I would like to pursue counseling as my career and become a successful leader in the field. I have always had a passion to assist people in emotional distress. As a qualified professional in the counseling field, I would be able to identify their problems as well as offer them the most appropriate solutions that may help them deal with their situations. However, working as a professional counselor requires that I possess the relevant skills and knowledge that would enable me to offer quality services in which I think that I can obtain the skills at Capella University. As a professional clinical counselor, I would have to deal with clients with different problems, so my role would entail listening to their problems, preventing further damage/harm as well as relieving them from the psychologically based dysfunctions (emotional, nervous, mental and behavioral dysfunctions). In addition, I would have to create conducive environment for them, which promote their personal development and well-being. Consequently, I would therefore have to provide both vocational and educational planning for the patients. To achieve this effectively, I would require training that would enable me to administer and interpret various psychological personality tests as well as the standardized tests of memory, functioning, and intelligence. A clinical graduate degree in counseling at Capella University would enable me to get the necessary licensure that will grant me the authority to practice legitimately. My interest in counseling developed early when I was still in high school, where I offered fellow students advice on their personal problems; with time, my reputation as a great advisor grew and most students and roommates at the school often consulted me for advice. This interest developed further when I had an opportunity to offer…

    As a school that is a solid segue beyond my homeschooling experience in the Classical Conversations model, I am enthusiastic about the possibility of attending Hillsdale College. One of the more encouraging aspects of my inquiry into the school was discovering the Hillsdale College Mission Statement. Hillsdale is one of the few schools that stand apart from the norm of secular humanism as a driving ideology in higher education. The school’s respect for our country’s Western philosophical and theological inheritance, genuine liberal arts education, and usage of precept and example to instill Christian principles stand out as key components. As with our Founding Fathers, it respects, reveres and considers the diffusion of learning and the ability to reason soundly an essential component of higher learning and preparation for adulthood in the context of these principles.…

    The four pillars of National Honors Society, scholarship, service, leadership, and character, have paved a path for me as a student and as a person. Scholarship has taught me to strive to be the best student I can be. I use scholarship to keep up with my school work and never give up when a class is hard. I always strive for the best grade I can get and I will stop at nothing until I reach my goal. I will continue to use scholarship as I go to college and pursue my dream as a pediatric dentist. I will study, I will learn, and I will never give up no matter what happens along the way. I use service when I volunteered to help my local private school. I was never asked to do so, but I felt as if I was giving back to a school that had done so much…

    Throughout high school, the four pillars of the National Honor Society – scholarship, leadership, service, and character – have shaped growth, pushing me to learn more each and every day. It gave me a new perspective in life. With a passion to pursue biology, I have spent the last here years actively learning about the human body; from the types of functions it processes to the chemicals in the brain that create emotion. As a student, I understood very early in high school that success is not knowledge that you take in, rather it is the knowledge that one learns and then radiates to others. Not only did I start to mentor students as early as 10th grade, but also took time out to learn myself. To gain a broader perspective of the world and…
