Personal Statement: My Goals At Appalachian State University

My story is neither the most adventurous nor the most interesting. I grew up in an environment, where opportunities were almost non-existent; I quickly got exposed to the rigors and challenges of life at a very tender age. At age seven, I was already selling household items with my older brother (Bidemi) in a big African market as a way of contributing to the family upkeep. He actually taught me how to persuade people to always buy from me which I found very helpful. Before long, I had become so motivated to succeed in endeavor, especially my academics. I was among the top five in my school at the time and was also made the time prefect for the whole school due to my discipline, regularity and punctuality.

I am uniquely qualified to receive the WCU grant because of my dedication to academics, seminary involvement and pursuit of holiness.

Rutgers University would dramatically help me achieve my personal and educational goals. I am currently a sophomore at Gloucester County College with a dream of starting my own business. I will be the first in my family to obtain a bachelor’s degree. Receiving a degree would be a huge milestone in my family and I would be setting a good example to the rest of my family. I originally applied to Rutgers when I was a senior in high school and I was ecstatic about my acceptance, but I had a personal issue that ultimately changed my plan for college. Unfortunately, I had no idea Rutgers had online degrees, so I turned to community colleges that offered online degrees as a quick solution in order to still attend college that fall. I am planning

In my current career path, I hold the position an Executive Assistant, with the City of Memphis, Executive Division in which my job duties consist of assisting upper management with executive level practices and decision making on projects, budgeting practices, and human resources practices. I also obtained past manager positions’ in the retail and restaurant industry, which these roles have given me great expectations on how to be an effective, leader and employee. By combining my current and past work experience into one, after graduation, my goal is to build a brand for myself by creating a non-profit organization help men and women in finding their identity and purpose in life, and to become an entrepreneur of my own vegan and gelato restaurant, foreseeing to establish my first restaurant in Memphis, TN and expanding in another state. I believe in helping people make a difference in their lives and I want to continue to be a positive influence to my son, the community, and share my experiences on how I made my goals and accomplishments come to life. Bethel University will equip me academically to help others and guide them to believe, by faith their goals can turn into

In the pursuit of my master’s degree in social work my interest is align with Georgia State University (GSU) mission statement. I would like to work in the field of children, youth and family services working diligently every day to provide families with the strength and resources to overcome society social issues such as poverty, racial disparities in health care, domestic violence, and homelessness. My passion is to work hands on in vulnerable populations fixing the problems at the core of the matter that arises. I want to advocate for the injustice systems placed over individual heads while also fighting for equality in inequality for those that do not have a voice. I would use my leadership to insure programs that would enhance the people,

“Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important" as Bill Gates said. There may be many great people than Bill Gates and many other famous influential quotes, but this quote kept me pondered at most of the times when I take every single important decision in my life. It is a fact that every person will make use of the advancement in the technology to achieve his goals but what more needed is the proper guidance in using the technology. A complete teacher does this work. The very same reason makes me apply to Georgia State University. The excellent faculty in Public Health department and the opportunities that the University offers propelled me to choose your University for pursuing my Masters Degree.

I see myself succeeding and giving back to the school after graduation and later into my life. I have known many Appalachian State graduates all of them whom are successful and have gained great leadership qualities. I know that I have the ability to make a difference in your business program. I am truly excited to be a future

Most of my friends stay after school playing basketball at the gym, but throughout high school, I would hurry to catch the train back to the city. When I tell people about this internship, they often don’t believe me. I’m been in the Ruckus program for the last 4 years. These experiences has help me develop a passion for business that I would like to continue in Illinois. My decision to apply for a degree in business is due to my desire to learn more about the business world and with the hope of developing my own products one day. I’m interested in how enterprises operate and function, how they become successful at a local scale, and how they can expand and grow to operate on a global scale. I believe that I have the qualities to forge a successful career in this

I had no idea that American University’s motto was identical to my sophomore summer’s epiphany which evolved during a South Dakota Habitat for Humanity (HH) project. My impression that I knew how hard life could be, especially after my parents’ tumultuous divorce, was dispelled. I was determined to think and act based upon the direction I wanted my life to take.

PREP is going to be an exciting experience for me to learn new material. I believe that participating in PREP will help me be better prepared for university work. A&M is a hard college to get into, only accepting 7% of all applicants. Prep will allow me to make a better effort to get to Texas A&M University. I want to get to year four and succeed at completing college.

College Is the main goal for my education journey.It is not a dream of mine to have higher education but surely it will give me a better chance in my life as a refugee.I just want to be able to keep up with the community and to help my family as much as I can.I want to thank UoPeople for giving me this chance to be able to reach my goal once

One of my academic goals is to get the best education possible at Allan Hancock College before I transfer. I will accomplish this by always paying attention to all my teachers and do all my work and most importantly make school my number one priority. Another academic goal that I have is to transfer to Cal Poly or Long Beach and obtain my Master’s degree in education. I also want to graduate with honor and with a 3.5 GPA or above. I decided that I wanted to be a teacher because I like helping people out and also I enjoy working with kids. I selected these goals because my economic background is not the great, most of the money that my family makes goes to the rent and daily expenses. We live in a small apartment and we are a family of five; we don’t usually go out and eat at restaurants only in special occasions.

In ten years I see myself playing football or basketball because I love to play sports. I know I will never give up on sports because i would love a job that is one of my most favorite things ever. You know everyone in the world wants to have fun and get paid for it. But if i had to choose between one or the other I would pick basketball because I love to run and I feel like i’m really good when I score. And I love playing with other people.

To me, entering college will be a chance for me to take control of my life and begin a new journey. My primary goal as a student is to nurture my love for learning as I believe that we are all lifelong students. I am prepared to take advantage of the intellectual freedom offered in college and I am keen on participating in workshops, attending seminars, and going on educational excursions as these activities would create an exciting environment for learning. Staying motivated, collaborating with my peers, and engaging in class are qualities that are essential for me to achieve my goal. I plan to ask my professors questions as they are well versed in the facts that are not in the textbooks and have hands-on experience. I will prepare myself

College has always been a goal for me, I never had the idea of not going to college. Being a child of immigrants, has made me strive for things many wouldn’t think to strive for. The next milestone in my life I wish to accomplish is being accepted to college and also graduating college, when I accomplish my goal I will be the second child in my family to attend college. I also plan to attend a college and join a soccer team and fulfill my dreams to be the first in my entire family to play soccer in a college league.
