Admissions Essay: My Life As A Child Development Specialist

Absolutism is the belief that the ruler of a land has unrestricted power and no opposition. Two examples of this are current king of Swaziland, Mswati III, and 17th century French King Louis XIV. Mswati has power because of the trust of his people, while Louis believes his power comes directly from God. In both examples, we see that the money goes toward extravagant courts or kingdom expenses, which impacts many aspects of the absolutist rule. This shows the main representative of a country as a rich and powerful ruler, but leaves the people in poverty.

“The Yellow Wallpaper” was written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and illustrates many patriarchal and feminist views. We see the very strict gender roles that the characters seem to be confined in. John is confined to the idea that males are to be the head of the household, decisive and rational thinkers. The narrator, on the other hand, is tied to her gender role of being submissive to her husband and not questioning his judgement. She constantly tries to break these rules by suggestion ideas to her husband, but he dismisses her without thought. When the narrator first notices the yellow wallpaper in the bedroom and asks if they can replace it John simply tells her that she was just letting the wallpaper get the best of her and if the wallpaper

My personal growth is a significant aspect of who I am, moreover, this continues to be a trait I strive to develop. To understand how far I’ve come as a person, you need to see where I came from and what motivated me to change.

During the latter part of my 15-year career, the Lord blessed me with opportunities to grow in my leadership and public speaking skills. I managed a staff of seven, a budget of several million dollars and made presentations to professional boards and potential business partners. After the Lord called me to be home with my children full time, I struggled with the meaning and usefulness of the opportunities I had been blessed to experience. They felt wasted in light of the carpool driving, diaper changing and house cleaning duties that were now the staples of my new “career” at home. After a semester in my church’s MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group, I was asked to co-lead the steering team. This invitation was definitely from the Lord, as I

the ages of 0 and 5. Children between the ages of 4 and 5 will then start school in the reception class. The environments that education can be provided in include the following:

No experience defined my life to a greater extent than my pursuit of an empowering education. My passion for knowledge continuously impacts and transforms my life. I was born and raised in Nicaragua – a nation where the education system significantly disadvantages families without resources. Public schools contain drastically inferior learning environments to those in the few expensive private schools. Students who cannot afford a private education often find escaping the cycle of poverty nearly impossible.

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” These words by Ralph Waldo Emerson represent more than a quote to me. They are my life philosophy, and they have been my faithful guides on the ever-evolving, ever-enriching path to a healthcare career. I had no family members or close acquaintances to introduce me to medicine, but what I did and will always possess is a diligent determination to set my own meaningful course. As a triplet and a member of a large family, standing apart was not easy, but I discovered my unique dream and purpose when I fell in love with healthcare. Since then, I have not let any challenge – including financial struggles and the loss of one of my parents – deter me. Rather, each hardship motivated me more, and I subsequently found my way. Starting this journey as a medical transcriptionist may not have been the traditional route, but it is my route; I have no doubt that my work ethic and perseverance will fuel me along this new,

Earlier in life I thought that their was one choice I had to make a decision with, where will my future would be heading after high school. When I was around ten years old I was sitting with my parents and I asked them " When should I start thinking about my future and what should I do?", I always thought your parents had to choose what you had to do in life but it turned out to be the decision you had to make. My Dad said " If you have been wondering about what you want to be when you grow up, you should be start looking into it now!" He said "Your cousin is the same age as you and she knows what she wants to be she told me " I want to study at the University of Baylor and become a Nurse and she said that if I don't become a Nurse I will

On March 28th, 1999 in Gallipolis, Ohio at Holzer Hospital, I, Owen Tanner Greene was born. I am a current resident of Jackson, Ohio, living with my mother, Sara Greene, father, Michael “Mike” Greene and my siblings – Brennen, Jensen and Sadie Greene. I attend Oak Hill Union Local High School, located in Southern Ohio, in the small Village of Oak Hill. As a young child, my preschool education was provided through Christian Life Academy of Jackson, Ohio. Progressing two years through preschool, I was then able to move forward into grade school at Southview Elementary, located in Jackson, Ohio as well. After excelling through grade school, I then moved onto Jackson Middle School for three years. From middle school, I transitioned to Jackson High School for my freshmen and sophomore years. The summer between my sophomore and junior year, I made the bold decision to transfer to Oak Hill Union Local High School to complete my high school career. Well, now that I have

There is an African proverb that says, "If you wish to move mountains tomorrow, you must start by lifting stones today." I believe I am the youngest in my graduating class, a high school senior at the age of fifteen. I have lifted stones to reach where I am now, ahead of others my age. My mountains have yet to come. I was two years old when I began reading. By the time I was five and in kindergarten, I was reading at a third-grade reading level and knew how to write my first name in cursive. My teacher noticed this, and called my parents. Consequently, it was decided I would go to first grade. I embraced it, though it was foreign to me; skipping a grade sounded exciting. I moved from my birth state, New York, across the country to Tennessee

In New York, I attended pre kindergarten, kindergarten, and first grade. In 1986 my family moved to Long Beach, California, where I completed grades 2 through 11. I attended Lakewood High School and Huntington Beach Alternative School. I studied for my G.E.D test and received my General Education Diploma in 1997. I attended vocational school at Bryman College majoring in Allied Health, earning a diploma in Medical Assistance along with 24 college credits.

I have always had an affinity for children and they felt the same for me. It was this natural connection that led me to begin babysitting, become a summer camp counselor at a local independent school, begin studying Early Childhood Education at my high school, and ultimately deciding to pursue a career in Early Childhood Education, specifically becoming a first grade educator because of the explosive amount of development, creativity, and curiosity of six to seven year olds. In the children, I see my future, and I can't wait to help lead them to be the change like I hope to do. When I was in sixth grade I earned my Girl Scout Silver Award by tutoring Shaheem, an eight year old family friend, in reading, especially reading comprehension. After

As a 17 year old student, I’m not absolutely sure what I want to be when I grow up, simply because I have so many goals that I'm determined to achieve. I always had a problem answering that question as a young kid. The reason for this is because I was constantly stuck between wanting to be successful, in terms of living a comfortable luxurious life, and actually making an impact on the world. What I failed to realize as a child was that the two aren't necessarily separated. Now, when asked this question I give a very extensive answer: “I want to be a powerlifting coach that studies cancer, and eventually cures it.”
