My interest in the media world started back when I was in 7th grade. This spark first began in photography and has done nothing but grown since then. As I grew older this curiosity went from photography to television. The particular aspect of this field that draws my attention is the world of producing. Although I do not have any prior experience with producing, I know that an internship with WVUA 23 would be the perfect first step in one day becoming a producer. I learn very quickly and I will not stop something until it is completed in a proper manner. I am very eager to learn everything I can about producing and I know I will be able to do so through this internship. I enjoy working in a team-oriented setting where there is one common goal, as I am able to get along with all different types of people. I do not feel that any job is beneath me, and I am willing to do whatever possible in order to gain knowledge in…

I have worked in various social care settings for over 5 years from which I gained a broad knowledge in providing professional support to service users to enable and promote independent living and fulfilment.

Lastly, I want to attend an institution that sees research as an integral part of being a physician thought leader. Through my past involvement in clinical neurology and neuroimmunology, I found a passion for scientific investigation and a desire to explore it further in medical school and beyond. The newly expanded VTC Research Institute will provide me with endless research and mentorship opportunities to do…
“Hello, my name is Maya Parson and I would like to represent the city of Vance in the Virginia Girls’ State General Assembly.” The sound of my foot nervously tapping on the marble floor marked the silence that lay under my wavering voice. I had the concentrated attention of 50 of the most accomplished female rising seniors who where invited to spend a week at the American Legion Auxiliary’s Virginia Girl’s State program. I could feel the nervous sweat gathering on my palms. I was forced to place my paper on the podium after failing to read it in my unstable hands. It had been a turbulent past few days getting accustomed to the hectic routine and becoming best friends with 612 other brilliant females and here I was completely leaping from the bounds of comfort and campaigning for a representative office. What made me decide to stand up with eight other girls who had resumes that, although were lengthy, ultimately were superficial? I was not the type of person to put herself in a position to be judged publicly on merit. Putting myself out to be judged was exactly what I had avoided all of my life. I looked through the glass door into the courtyard of the Longwood Campus and saw a single flower on its own in a flower garden. Suddenly, the words of my junior year English teacher on transcendentalism had bombarded my thought process. I realized in this moment that going to other countries or being the head of a club did not give someone value as a political leader as candidates before me had argued. The worth of a human being comes from their contributions as a member of society and their ability to not just learn but to do. This can only be achieved by the recognition of the individual. I explained the transcendentalist movement to my peers and made a case for why this understanding can be useful in representing a group of people. I spoke of the importance of speaking deliberately and of not being afraid to challenge popular ideologies and thoughts. I…

I hope that while on rotations I’m able to fill the knowledge gaps I have and learn new techniques from experienced practitioners.…
When I chose to come to CSN high school I was able to grow intellectually and have a change of mindset. CSN high school is a program that allows high school students to earn college credits while still attending high school. The program only takes 50 juniors and 5 seniors every year out of the many applicants. I was able to earn ___ (I will insert the amount of credits I got when I actually apply for college) college credits while attending CSN high school, which has gotten me ready for a college environment. Attending CSN high school was a major event in my life that has prepared me for college.…
To excel in the dynamic and challenging business world of today, one has to be equipped with not only business knowledge and experience, but also possess knowledge of international markets, team-building and leadership skills and excellent communication skills. Today’s business requires not just balancing the books; it is about the investment and the management of assets, people, opportunities and risk. Coming from a background of a small family business and helping in it during my spare time, I learnt some of the essential business skills at an early age. This has inspired me to learn more about business management and marketing.…
At the Fashion Institute of Technology, I plan to accomplish numerous things, such as learning how to create paintings with different materials and innumerable delightful techniques. I relish using acrylic paints and watercolors. Many different materials are used in the fine arts curriculum. I believe that FIT will teach me not to give up and not to quit during a difficult task. The Fashion Institute of Technology can also help me realize my goal, which is to become a great artist. The curriculum for the fine arts program teaches 2D, 3D, sculpting and more. This would help me advance my artwork to another level. In my studio art class last year, I was taught a different style of painting, which was difficult for me. I learned about aboriginal art.…
My first exposure to occupational therapy came while I was working as an ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapist with a young girl with apraxia. Her speech problems had been linked to a lack of core strength, and we were to begin implementing an exercise routine to increase her strength. To achieve this goal in an enjoyable yet effective way for the child, an occupational therapist was consulted and began teaching us methods that incorporated preferred play activities into her core strengthening program. Running this new program became the highlight of our sessions, for both me and her it seemed. The smiles and giggles had me enjoying my job on a greater level; it was not only entertaining for the child, but a delight for me to implement. It was then I became extremely intrigued about the OT profession, and decided to explore the options the field had to offer. Research and curiosity eventually landed me on various websites and talking to those in the field, gaining knowledge about the different types of therapies and types of needs targeted by occupational therapists. The part that struck me most after all my research: OT is about daily life. It is about the activities that occupy our time, the small obstacles most people tackle each day with ease, obliviously unaware of the magnitude of importance these tiniest of accomplishments can truly encompass. The little everyday challenges in life are often the ones most overlooked, but to those unable or learning to conquer these challenges, their importance is evident. To me, these daily obstacles seemed like the most essential to overcome, small successes that could greatly improve an individual’s quality of life.…
When I first started training to be a nurse, my most compelling reason for peruse in the career was to care for the sick. Now that I am approaching the end of my three years of training my rationale has changed, I now want to empower patients in regards to their own health, supporting families in need, care for the ‘sick’ child and make a difference amongst as many people as I can.…
I am planning on serving a mission this July and I am writing this to show the passion that I have to forgo that plan and to make sure nothing restricts me from doing so. I am 19 years old and I attend Brigham Young University in Utah. I have always had my goals set high in everything that I do so I am very thankful to be here. I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at a young age and I want to start off by saying that CF is a part of me, but it does not control me—it does not define who I am. From a very young age, my parents have taught me what it’s like to be independent and not rely on others to do things for me that I can do for myself. They have also taught me to never quit at anything: sports, school, work, etc. As I have grown up, sports have been of my…
The road to picking your college of choice is never an easy one and it can involve a lot of stress and sometimes confusion. However, as I apply to La Sierra University I can say with conviction that this school and the Biomedical Science major is the perfect choice for me. My experience in child development as well as the coursework I’ve completed in the field of biological sciences has allowed me to gain a better understanding of the major and what I want in my professional career. The four years at La Sierra University will allow me to take these academic and professional desires and turn them into a reality.…
Thinking about humanity nowadays and people's preoccupations made me realize the huge impact that crimes and criminal justice have on their decisions and the way they receive and react at the details and information about a crime. Television news, newspapers and magazines, they all speak about crimes, unsolved criminal problems or strange disappearances. The world's…
I am very excited about applying to ISU. My first opportunity to visit ISU was three years ago when my family and I visited my sister, currently a senior at ISU, for family weekend. It was exciting to watch the Redbirds win the football game! I completely fell in love with the campus and environment as well. I felt comfortable right away and did not want to leave. Just last year, my high school had the opportunity to play at the Redbird Arena for the Basketball State Finals. I enjoyed walking with my friends, showing them around campus having been there several times. I am a person who loves walking and after being on campus countless times with my sister, it seems that every place or facility you need to get to is usually in walking distance. ISU simply has the type of campus layout that makes me feel very comfortable.…
