Jemicy: A Scholarship Analysis

Along with being a diligent student who has been enrolled in 11 Advanced Placement classes, I have also dedicated my time to other causes. For example, I have volunteered at public libraries, Special Olympics events, orphanages for intellectually disabled children, and food pantries. While maintaining a rigorous course load and volunteering, I also work at Kumon. I tutor children to boost their confidences and understanding of concepts vital to their future success. Moreover, I have received membership to The National Honor Society and have been awarded an AP Scholar with Merit Award. My dedication to becoming more culturally aware and five years of enrollment in Spanish classes has allowed me to be inducted into Spanish Honor Society. Within

From the time when I was a little boy, growing up in Graves County, Kentucky, I have had problems with my reading and writing. Things never seemed to click for me, a trait that the teachers attributed to a mild case of dyslexia mixed with a healthy dose of attention deficit disorder. I knew, however, that no disorder was the cause of my distaste of reading and writing. Rather, there was nothing really interesting surrounding me that would grab my interest in the classroom. The teachers I encountered never took any interest in what their students wanted to read or write; they developed assignments based on what the curriculum, a course of study developed by some politicians at the Board of Education, told them to

By achieving the top GCSE grades at my comprehensive school in 2015, I was able to enrol into the Royal Grammar School, where I have continued to demonstrate my motivation and resilience by taking up roles, such as Head of Finance for the Rotary Interact Club, Head of Economics student leader, and Founding President of the RGS Sixth Form charity fundraising team, which has raised thousands of pounds for local charities

The contributions I have made to my school include participating in volleyball from the fall of 2014 to present. For volleyball, we have collected food for the food pantry, conducted a youth night to teach younger children the fundamentals of volleyball, and a breast cancer awareness night which included raising money to fund breast cancer research. I also participate in dance and softball. For the 2016 softball season I was chosen for the spirit award because of my positive attitude and energy during games and practices. Through hard work and dedication the dance team won conference champs at the 2016 conference competition. I was chosen by my coaches for the Limitless Leader Award and the Sportsmanship Award in 2015 and last year. I have earned a varsity letter in

This deepens Endicott’s way of helping me succeed because, if it were not for the additional licensure for children with moderate disabilities, I would have to complete more schooling in which I would end up falling behind in my work success. The less time to complete school ensures more time to work and that is my goal, in which I will finally consider myself successful. Not only can Endicott advance my career, but it can also assist me in personal success. On the campus and off, I have only heard positive things about the campus life and activities. I look forward to joining many clubs and organizations that will help me succeed in my major, but also help me succeed in personal and social aspects of my life. I am a very outgoing and ambitious person who likes to interact with others, therefore I like to be around people rather than be alone. The extracurricular activities that will help me succeed include the community service projects and the activities on weekends. I am also interested in the variety of clubs offered, which will support my personal and social needs in order for me to

I Makayla Elaine Bunbasi, have been academically suspended from Allegany College of Maryland. I have been suspended due to my academic status falling below the required minimum. I understand that it is important to do well in school and I am willing to put all my focus into my schooling to make sure I do whatever it takes to pass my classes. I know there shouldn’t be any reason for a student to fall behind in school but the past two and a half years of my life have been a struggle. When I was seventeen I made the choice to move to West Virginia to take care of my grandmother since my Pap worked out of town Monday-Friday. Over the past two years I have had to care for my grandmother on my own. Taking her to her appointments, surgeries, and the emergency room at times,

My whole life I have been invested in doing what I love, focusing on my true passions, as well as finding new ones. I have been very involved in my high school, and have been lucky enough to be a part of multiple clubs and activities. Without these activities, my high school experience and life would be a lot different. I have been an active drama club member, a part of ‘Bottlecappers,’ a club advocating anti-drug, alcohol, and bullying to younger students in my district, and many other community service opportunities. I am lucky to have the opportunity to be in these activities, as they have shaped me to be the young adult I am today.

Even with my family moving between four school districts and three states, I have managed to keep my grades all A’s and one B+ since kindergarten. In early elementary school, I can recall the teachers constantly giving me extra work to stimulate me, so I wouldn’t be bored with the work given to the rest of the class. Not only do I get good grades, but I have a great work ethic. I am conscientious in everything I do, and always turn my work in on time. I was recommended to compete in the Upper Bux-Mont Academic Challenge for two years in a row, and have been on the Distinguished Honor Roll all three years of middle school.

Of course, I also wish to help the Andrews’ community and the Medford community with the fundraisers and donations the NJHS organizes. My academic success and accomplishments in middle school are very important to me. I received High Honors on my report card every quarter in sixth grade. I have maintained Honors and High Honors on my report cards in seventh grade as well. In my sixth grade math class I had a ten test streak of 100%.

During my weekends when I was not playing in baseball I would be volunteering at Waldron Wings which was a Domestic Violence shelter housing women and children who left their broken home. I volunteer at this facility up into its closing at the beginning of my sophomore year. Often times amidst the week I would tutor kids at my own conviction at the Haughville Library just because I would see them struggling and it only made me yearn to liberate their ignorance. Which leads to another one of my ventures which is Toys for Tots which I participated in faithfully in eighth and ninth grade. A group of peers and I would go “Christmas Shopping” and supply kids who were not fortunate enough to receive gifts with toys and games they could only dream of having. I am a high-honor roll student which is evident from me receiving this letter. On top of that, I always dreamed of leaving a mark on my high school career one days and this is one of the many ways attain this goal and impact my

During grade school, I won many academic awards and was also a member of the academic bowl team. At the graduation ceremony in 8th grade, I received the R. Dean Truesdale award, which recognized students who scored highly academically and exemplified outstanding integrity. While taking the high school placement test, I scored highly and received a scholarship to attend Ursuline. During freshman year, I had a GPA of 4.37, and during my sophomore year, I had a GPA of 4.40. I am committed to improving myself academically, and my past academic accomplishments showcase this.

My biggest weakness and my economic status transformed me into a better student, and help me grow up as a person. I moved from a Spanish speaking country, where I did not know English at all, to The United States of America about six years ago. As a newcomer and the first generation of my family in attending to a university, I had had to overcome the language barrier, and work while studying in order to help in my household, without let my grades be affected by this. This two barrier teach me time management, responsible and, most importantly, that everything may be possible with hard work, dedication and determination. I have kept a significant high grade average point (GPA) of 3.81/4.0. I am actively participating in research projects. I am a member of PSI CHI, the International Honor Society in Psychology, and the Association for Psychological Science (APS). I am planning to pursue a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Columbia University, Teacher College.

My contribution to NYC public schools children in education has been extensive. I first began working in NYC public schools as a speech pathologist in 1980. I would examine expressive and receptive language skills of children and through task analyses develop strategies of language acquisition. In short, I was able to gets students to improve their reading and writing skills in order to master grade level competencies. In my educational journey, I was recruited by Principal Louis Rapport to become an Assistant Principal. Principal Rapport ran an after-school program for teachers who wanted to become school leaders. I worked in coordinating summer programs at George Westinghouse Vocational High School in 1986. I worked hand in hand with the principal to build community partners for our school which offered twelve or more trade programs and internships for students ranging form optical to jewelry making. In 1989, I was selected to serve as Assistant Principal of Special Education at Automotive High School, with Principal Steve Gilbert, who has since passed away. Principal Gilbert much like Principal Rapport was my mentors in leadership within the educational arena. With the support of Principal Gilbert, I was able to go to a Harvard Graduate School of Education and participate in a Summer Seminar in 1995. This was the season of “Inclusion in Schools”. Principal Gilbert recommended me for a program, Assistant Principal to Principal Program

Throughout my life, I have always struggled with school. No one thought college was the path for me, let alone a university college campus. With that being said, it didn’t come to a surprise to anyone when I was rejected by the University of Minnesota Duluth at first. However, I wouldn’t let that dissuade me from coming to my dream school. In fact, I became more motivated to prove why I should be allowed to attend the 2014 fall semester.  I have been diagnosed with a learning disability, which always made me work ten times harder in school than all my friends. My mother never went to college and my father just barely graduated, so they weren’t much help when it came to school.
