...business as a financial advisor in the near future. In the business, I will be working with many people who are different then me and I want to help them plan for short-term and long-term goals to the best of my ability. Taking this class, I want to leave with a better understanding on how to communicate with others in the workforce and in real life situations. The first time I heard the word “diversity” the one thing that came to my mind is that everyone is unique in their own way. Everyone has different ethnicities, backgrounds, sexual orientation, gender identities, etc. For example, in high school one of my professors had put up a picture on the board. The picture showed a group of people getting along even though they were all different. To them it didn’t matter what color they were or what their background was and that is something I believe that we all need to work on more....

...What is Personal Statement Overview of the Personal Statement Personal statements are sometimes also called "application essays" or "statements of purpose." Whatever they are called, they are essentially essays which are written in response to a question or questions on a graduate or professional school application form which asks for some sort of sustained response. Some applications ask more specific questions than others. There is no set formula to follow in shaping your response, only choices for you to make, such as whether you should write an essay that is more autobiographically focused or one that is more professionally focused. From application to application, requested personal statements also vary widely in length, ranging from a couple of paragraphs to a series of essays of a page or so each. Personal statements are most important when you are applying to an extremely competitive program, where all the applicants have high test scores and GPA's, and when you are a marginal candidate and need the essay to compensate for low test scores or a low GPA. :: Context Considerations How are personal statements read, and by whom? It's most likely that your personal statement will be read by professors who serve on an admissions committee in the department to which you are applying. It is important in developing your personal statement to carefully consider this audience. What are the areas of specialty of this department, and what might it be looking for in a graduate...

...involves a number of different areas of understanding. Learning about money and how it works is an important aspect, as well as understanding products like credit, loans, and investments. Competency in managing money appears to be a skill that doesn’t come naturally to everyone. Unless a person is exposed to the practice of money management, he/she is less likely to understand how it works and it long-term benefits. Without a financial education, it is easy to develop poor spending and financial habits resulting in significant negative consequences such as a poor credit rating, denial of credit, rejection for a checking account and bankruptcy, to name a few. Early financial literacy is the best way to prevent such consequences. In essence, personal financial literacy is much more than managing and investing money. It also includes making all the pieces of your financial life fit together. Achieving Financial Success you must understand and determine where your money goes. Here’s how you can start: Analyzing cash flows Taking advantage of opportunity cost. Taking control of your spending.

...# of words: 526 Francisco I. Jimenez College Application/ Personal Statement 05/23/14 Prompt: Describe the world you come from — for example, your family, community or school — and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations. As a young Mexican American adult I have experienced the best of both worlds. My parents came to America a long time ago in order to establish a good foundation for their children. When my parents first moved to San Diego they bought a house that fit their budget. They bought a home in a community called SouthEast San Diego, which is considered a dangerous and inferior community when in reality it is full of culture and unity. Unfortunately the schools in the community were not helping me succeed as a student, so my parents enrolled me at Our Lady of Angels, a private school I attended until the eighth grade. After eighth grade my parents chose to move to Coronado Island so that I could attend Coronado High School. My experience in the private school system is where my religious beliefs and athletic ability really began to develop. Although I had been raised a catholic before I attended the private school, I never really took the subject seriously and religion wasn't a big part of my life, but Our Lady of Angels has taught me how to get closer to God and how to love him/her for all God has done for me. Our Lady of Angels also inspired me to pursue sports, there I played flag football, basketball, and soccer. I have played sports in my yard and at clubs before...

...professional organization and individual definitions. Many factors both intrinsically and extrinsically influence one’s personal perceptions of the great profession called nursing. Every nurse is accountable for maintaining her own knowledge and education after completion of a nursing program. With a focus on personal professional growth that intellectually stimulates and promotes individual autonomy with her given specialty of practice, a nurse can greatly improve her self-confidence and professional motivation, thus providing a firm foundation on which to base her nursing judgment. Nursing Philosophy One strategy nurses can use to affirm that their practice is in harmony with their value system is to write a personal philosophy statement. This might be general in nature, such as a philosophy that relates to life values; it could be a philosophy statement related to beliefs about the profession of nursing; or it might be a philosophy specific to school nursing. In each case, this activity will encourage nurses to clarify their values and then examine how their philosophy fits with their professional practice. Articulating a philosophy statement is an intellectual activity that requires careful thought, because values need to be identified, clarified, and prioritized. As the profession of nursing is dealing with rapid changes in knowledge and practice, the specialty of school nursing is attempting to articulate its value in the educational setting. Both the profession and specialty...

...These pages were downloaded from Writing Personal Statements Online, available at https://www.e-education.psu.edu/writingpersonalstatementsonline/ Short Personal Statement by a Geology Student Growing up in Canada with a life-long fascination for Canadian geography, I have always been interested in returning to the country. Although my family moved to the US before I entered high school, I have always kept my eyes turned north, especially in recent years as I began to read journal articles about research conducted on John Evans Glacier, located about 80° N latitude. Graduating next semester with a B.S. in computer science and engineering and a minor in geographic information systems, I am interested in attending the University of Alberta for graduate study. Geographic information systems (GIS) is a field especially suited to investigating spatial patterns, modeling diverse scenarios, and overlaying spatial data. This semester, in my advanced GIS course, Spatial Data Structures and Algorithms, I am part of a team developing a temporal database and program for tracing historical trading data. My computer science skills have also been put to use in two summer internship projects, where I acquired proficiency with using LIDAR (light detection and ranging) technology, now favored by NASA in its current 10-year study of Greenland and changes in the ice cap extent. Through my coursework and project experience, I have also accrued skills...
