My Philosophy Statement: Clubhouse Class

I am a dedicated, caring individual committed to improving the world around me. My dedication to achieving goals, be it academic or in extracurricular activities, has shown time and time again that I will not give up until I meet the goal, even in the face of adversity. I believe that commitment to goals is a valuable quality I could use to contribute to the community. I plan to join clubs that UCF offer students to work with and contribute to the UCF community. I believe working with my fellow peers to be an important and enriching aspect of college life. I am always willing to help someone in need or point them in the

At my previous university, I participated in many activities within Riverside. On top of this, I have made great friends that helped me to grow as a person. Riverside also provided me with exactly what I needed to achieve my previous goal of working within the business world. This drive to apply for Texas A&M is however not solely based on academics. Having grown up in the North Dallas area from 4th grade to 8th grade, I feel a strong attachment to Texas. It is the state where I grew the most and found myself to be the best person I could be. Paired with the program that Texas A&M offers, I hope to bring my newly found experiences to Texas A&M to contribute to what Aggieland is all

I hereby write in regards to admission into Grand Canyon University. As a matter of fact, I chose this particular university based on its Christian values as well as the excellent students it has produced from the wide variety of quality courses. The university has also shown a commitment to developing their students all-round through extra-curricular activities and other areas with the fact that it was the first ever for-profit university- and the only one too- to participate in Division One athletics for NCAA. The institution offers me with the best environment and university to pursue my education and foster the attainment of my long term ambitions and dreams.

My initial interest was through the academic program, but what peaked provocation is the mission statement. I admire that an apparent goal is to learn from each other as community members and also from industry leaders. I think it is important to learn from each other, as your peers are sometimes the people you learn the most from. Additionally, I was pleased that students learn from people actively in their field of study. My favorite part of the mission statement is that students work to break the boundaries on real world issues. Many of the classes and activities I have been apart of in high school touch on this part of the mission statement; I think it is the most important part. There is no point in being educated if it is not to better the world in a positive way and I appreciate that at Syracuse that journey, to relate and impact the real world begins as a student. Overall I am eager to apply to Syracuse to embrace the opportunities it provides and to be apart of a network of brilliant people, through athletics, internships, classes, and social

I believe UW-Green Bay is the university for me, and that I am a perfect candidate to help enrich this prestigious university both academically and socially. Many personal traits, experiences, and goals I have directly correlate with UW-Green Bay’s mission statement and goals for their students. Also, located just off the Lake Michigan shoreline, UW-Green bay offers a beautiful campus for its students, which intrigues me as an individual as a place I can see myself living and enjoying as I work toward my undergraduate degree. In addition, UW- Green Bay has all beautiful state-of-the art facilities and learning centers that I visited that I truly can see myself living in, learning in, and creating new friends and memories in. I believe this

Over the years since emigrating from Austria, I have overcome many obstacles in my path to a college education. The objective of all of my hard work, both inside and outside the classroom, came into focus after I toured the Georgia State campus. I was impressed with everyone I met at Georgia State and all of the academic opportunities it

Nelson Mandela once said,”Education is one of the most powerful weapons that you can use to change the world.” To change the world is why I want a good college education, so for the last few months I have been visiting colleges that I was considering to transfer to, Illinois State University(my top choice), Eastern Illinois University(my second choice), and Western Illinois University(my 3rd choice). I chose to highlight the major differences between Illinois State University and Western Illinois University just to show how much they contrast. I selected to attend Illinois State University because it exceeds Western Illinois University in three ways which are, Campus/Location, academics, and the atmosphere.

My goal while attending this University is to be an example for other minorities who come from harsh upbringings such as myself and show them that with perseverance and hard work you can overcome any challenges you are faced with and accomplish the goal(s) you have in sight. What I bring to the table is firsthand experience and I feel

I graduated from a high school of about 150 kids where about 80% where minorities and about 75% were qualified for free or reduced lunch. Coming in as a business major I want the chance to go back and try and fix how the school was ran. While my school tried it’s best to provide what was necessary to advance to a higher education beyond high school, they fell short. My junior and senior year I was lucky enough to have nearly all online classes, so I had a ton of free time. However, during this time I spent most of it helping seniors and juniors applying for college, editing their resumes, revising their essays, and just making them aware of all the programs and scholarships out there for them. I remember it was in these moments I felt like I really made an impact. I feel as if these are the same morals and beliefs that are held within Teach for American and I want to be part of that. While you review my application, I hope I exemplified all that you all are looking for, and If I didn’t I hope that I can later in the future.

I believe that I am a perfect fit for the University of California due to my characteristics that set me far apart from other candidates which are unique. The first characteristic I have is doing the right things, even when nobody's watching. This means that I have integrity and character to complement my ability to get things done. Also It’s easy to do the right thing when you have people around, but it takes courage and strength of character to do the right thing when you’re alone, however I do it at all times due to my integrity and respect for whatever reason or situation occurs, and I Stay true to my very own values even when everyone around me is floundering, or when popular opinion goes against what you know in your heart to be right.

Whether it be in Political Science, Law Studies, Sport Management, or perhaps a study I haven’t yet considered. I will contribute to the student population of optimists and go-getters, and refrain from staying idle while life passes by. It is imperative to take action on set goals to avoid being left behind with the masses. As a Gator, there is a self-expectation to have a sharp motivation; to be inclined to apply oneself to any task with a sharp focus. I plan to impact this campus with the drive to change my life and improve those’ around me. If admitted to the University of

I aspire to attend the Clark Atlanta University because it is a symbol for past and future generations of educational and operational excellence. Clark Atlanta University is the hub of African American leadership and educational expansion, and with the constant policing of the community and poaching of black culture in today’s society, it is significant that I achieve an education that represents myself and the world with which I am familiar and intend to change for the better.

I am applying to Michigan State College of Law because I am fully confident that its the only school that would help me reach my academic goals while also contributing to other causes which are personal to me. I was born in Beirut, Lebanon to Sierra Leonian parents, I moved to Sierra Leone in 2001. Moving to Sierra Leone was the beginning of my passion for sports, mainly soccer where I spent hours every day playing on the streets of my neighborhood. Ever since then I realized that I would like to always be connected with the sports world. I feel that sport doesn't differentiate people because of their race, religion, or culture but rather brings them together and that feeling of a united front among people is something I always want to be a part of.

St. Olaf places a large emphasis on being engaged in a global community. During my time in Northfield, I plan on studying International Economics and continuing my study of the Spanish language. I hope to join the Peace Corps after I receive my degree, and my studies will help me be better prepared by giving me a widened worldview and broadening my experiences. Being from Missouri, I would bring a different perspective to St. Olaf than most students. I also plan on being very involved in the St. Olaf community through intramurals, interfaith groups, and Free Thinker’s

At a young age, I was introduced to science, mathematics, and technology by my parents. I reminisce my father’s explanation of arithmetic; the basics of 2+2=4 or 5+2=7. He didn’t tell me it was common knowledge, he taught me the concept. I recall my mother analyzing a butterfly’s wings. At an early age, I knew that the myth of touching a butterfly’s wings would kill it was a total lie. During these moments of time, my interest sparked. I asked more questions; I wanted to know more. If touching a butterfly’s wings didn’t kill it, what did it do? If 2+2=4, how can I get 2 from 4?
