Personal Reflective Essay

335 Words2 Pages

This question really comes full circle to me; granted the experience that I am applying to this personal topic is also the reason I am applying to MSU. Growing up in a small town I have seen the same faces for eighteen years and I honestly believe I would have had to pick the first personal statement topic if it was not for this past summer. This last summer I was chosen to be a Girls’ State Representative and this was held at Michigan State University. This week was where I fell in love with MSU, and this is also where I was immersed with many new faces that I had never seen before. There were girls from every part of the state, ones from urban, suburban, and rural settings. I thought I would make one or two friends from this experience but

Avid focuses around organization, teamwork, and for you to critically think.

  • University Of Oregon Personal Statement

    409 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of the most appealing things about University of Oregon is the active inclusion and constant work towards creating a more expansive community. I hope to study Philosophy with a minor in ethnic studies or women and gender studies. These majors I feel will help me pursue my personal goal of a diverse education. As a woman from a conservative part of the east bay with a unique connection to the LGBTQ+ community, I feel that I have a lot to offer to the diverse discourse that The University of Oregon offers. Additionally being a person of privilege I see that I have a responsibility to take a set back and listen to those who have less fortunate geopolitical locations.

  • Social Location Essay

    After reviewing tons of application, I have one thing clear they all ask, what is your race and, what is your gender. These forms of question help the interviewer or the one who reads the application know a little more of who is the person. In reality these questions are used in society to determine one’s, social location. The definition of Social location is basically your status in society and it is determined by race, gender, and class. While these are important to shape one’s social location they do not provide a full description of one’s life.

  • Personal Narrative: My Contribution To Diversity At Rosalind Franklin University

    150 Words  | 1 Pages

    I feel that my unique experiences would greatly contribute to the diversity at Rosalind Franklin University. For example, volunteering with Gentiva Hospice and spending time with patients who had minimal days left to live, and meeting a young woman at Friedman Place who has faced a many hurdles in her life, but taught me the importance of always remaining optimistic. Most significantly, while in 2nd grade, I traveled to Russia with my parents to adopt my sister. We stayed in a small town for two months, allowing my parents and I to spend countless hours at the orphanage. I noticed that the happiest moment of these kids’ day was receiving a piece of fruit, and how their wrists were strapped to their beds at night.

    Going through daily life you experience many different things, and most of them are the daily rigors of life that you do not think twice about. However, sometimes you have experiences that are not part of your average day, and those are the experience, I believe you learn the most from. One experience that has contributed the most to my development since I have been at West Point is the investigation into the lacrosse team last year. While I was not involved in the investigation, I experienced the effects and aftermath of the investigation. One way it affected my development is that it made me truly understand the impact leaders have on a group.

    When I moved to the Philippines with my family at age six, I had no idea that I’d wind up locking myself in the room downstairs every day for weeks. I remember refusing to go to school where everyone would speak to me in a language I had no fluency in, and instead feebly hiding in the corner of the room in my new house with the door locked, waiting for my carpool to leave before I would come out. I was terrified and overwhelmed; the culture shock seemed insurmountable at the time and looking back now, it definitely was. Everything in the Philippines differed so much from what I was used to in California, and even from Japan where I lived for a year prior to moving. Never would I have thought that it would be there where I would find myself and become more intact with my culture than anywhere

  • Personal Narrative: Accepting My Sexuality

    1227 Words  | 5 Pages

    It seems like I have just explained many very intimate stories of who I am and to be honest, I am not sure I like it. However, I have done it and even though it may not be long enough I think it reflects very raw moments in my life. I have spent the last four years of undergrad being asked these exact same questions and after a while it becomes exhausting having to share so much of yourself with people you barely know. I know why I joined social work, and surprisingly it has less to do with the hard and difficult things that have happened in my life and more to do with the sweet moments that reminded me that I am innately human. Please understand I do not take my SES, ethnicity, orientation or gender for granted; nor do I think they lack an influence on why I am doing social work.

    There was a young boy at the Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children; Wyndell, who made a notable impact on my continued interest in pursuing a career in the physical therapy field. I was a volunteer at Kapi’olani for 9 months and experienced shadowing patients who had a range of diagnosis including osteosarcoma, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders, but one case that sparked my passion was a child with encephalitis. Wyndell was only 13 years old and had been diagnosed with encephalitis, which is acute inflammation of the brain caused either by infection or the immune system attacking brain tissue. I met Wyndell when his spirit was down. He did not have the normal high energy level that you would expect from most teens at age 13.

    I know for a fact that I have evolved as a learner these last few weeks. I not only know that because it has become easier for me to finish paragraphs and essays faster, but I have also learned the paragraph and essay templates by heart. As being a student that's part of the GT Program, I have had to finish two essays in a week, and I’ve had extra work along with my work in regular language arts and reading classes. Throughout the last few weeks I have learned how easy it is to organize an essay and a paragraph, I’ve learned the steps of writing a novel, and I have learned that being part of the GT Program is a privilege, not a right.
