Gatton Personal Statement

500 Words2 Pages

"You all have a little bit of 'I want to save the world ' in you," Anonymous. A few weeks ago, I came across this quote and it has stuck with me since then, as I believe it perfectly encapsulates my desire to attend Gatton Academy. I undoubtedly have a little bit of "I want to save the world in me," but I think that in order to help save the world, I first need to learn more about our planet and its inhabitants. With the Academy 's study abroad opportunities, I could begin to explore the world and come to understand more of its variety and needs. To me, saving the world necessitates learning about math and science. Gatton would provide me with the amazing opportunity to study topics I would not otherwise be able to, such as Computer Science and Human Anatomy. I am also excited by the prospect of making my own scientific discoveries by …show more content…

Though the term "saving the world" usually equates to a grand gesture, such as preventing world hunger or curing cancer, I think that each of us is able to help save the world by positively impacting those around us (though curing cancer would be amazing). I would certainly aspire to enrich the Gatton community as much as possible and I believe that I have the qualities necessary to do so, the first of which is my accepting nature. I enjoy being around all different types of people and continuously bring those around me together. I am also compassionate; I live my life according to the Golden Rule and I my best to help anyone who is struggling, whether that means doing something as small as helping a classmate with chemistry homework or as important as supporting a friend going through a tough time. Moreover, I am hardworking and organized, which allows me to give back to my community by doing things such as planning study groups and assisting with fundraisers. I sincerely desire to bring positivity to the Gatton community! I hope that Gatton Academy will be a part of my journey to save the world, or maybe just help a few

I have also learned that nothing comes free and that everything must be earned through determination and hard work. So when I joined the Cub Scouts at age 7, I was determined to excel and achieve the highest rank in scouting, Eagle Scout. Since then, I have been intent on changing things for the better in everything I participated in. Ergo, having a lifetime goal to give back to the Earth, whether it be directly by studying chemistry to help the Earth or indirectly by donating some of my time and money back into the science field to help fund future developments of technology, seems best for the world.

  • Personal Essay On Dominican Culture

    437 Words  | 2 Pages

    I had the grand honor of being born into a culturally diverse family. Although Dominican culture dominates our customs, we are 25% Middle Eastern from Lebanon, and 25% Spanish from Barcelona, Spain. The cultures have all laced into each other in such a way that I find it utterly ordinary to eat Arabic food while listening to Dominican music while serving Spanish desserts. My parents came to America at around the age that I am now, met each other, and my mom had my first sister at 18 while my father was 22. My mom went back to high school to finish her GED while my father enrolled in an institution that he never got around to finishing because his english was not well.

    Lambert once posed. After watching a film about the life of a famous composer he asked us, “do you believe intelligence is inherited or earned through hard work?”. My answer to this is although the chance to be born a gifted prodigy is a small chance, everyone has the ability to improve and educate themselves so hard work is key. As a student at Catalina Foothills High School, i’m realistic enough to be aware that even though a course may be rigorous and even a little exhausting, I need to set myself down because hard work correlates to knowledge gained.
