...Thank you! For Case Western Reserve University, I am interested in the Molecular Medicine program. I will be doing research in the Cleveland Clinic, Lerner Research Institute. I first heard about this program when I was helping my sister move into her college two summers ago. I was born in Ohio and haven't visited the state since so I was intrigued by the city. After I helped my sister move in, I also made time to walk around the college town, museums, and hospitals. It was an eye-opening moment for me, personally because I didn't expect myself to move out of Oregon till then. Although CWRU seemed like a small private college, it had so many research labs and numerous projects operated my renowned researchers who are also professors, doctors, and advisors. I've also done research on professors and research projects and there are numerous projects and studies I would like to learn more about. There are many departments in this program, including Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Stem cell biology and Regenerative medicine, Cancer Biology. I am still in the process of trying to find what I would like to work on specifically and although I...

...Health and medicine has been a passion of mine since adolescence. This program will be a continuation of my learning path. While in high school, I participated in a student of nursing program and earned certification as a nursing assistant. I continued my passion for the field at Illinois College by studying Biology. In addition to schooling, I worked at a skilled nursing facility where I engaged in direct patient care also shadowed health care professionals to further explore my interest. In many ways, health and medicine reflects my values and interests. I value the core principles of medical ethics that include respecting others rights, doing no harm, and acting for the benefit of others. I also find its cornerstones, which include committing to rigorous study and practice, educating patients and leading by example, and placing the needs of others first, equally appealing. As an aspiring physician, I am confident that I can integrate the values and interests of health and medicine with my own. I want to help others lead healthy lifestyles; therefore, it is my goal to continue on my path and acquire the professional knowledge and training of a physician....

...Medicine is very powerful and useful when it comes to its contribution to helping people and animals all over the world. Medicine is the science and practice of diagnosis, prevention of disease and treatment. There are many practices that emerged to maintain or improve health by the prevention and treatment of illness. There are some reasons as to why I am applying to the Health Professions Recruitment and Exposure Program. One reason is I’m interested in pursuing a career in medicine in the future. At first, I wasn’t sure about whether I wanted to pursue medicine but when I volunteered at the Mount Sinai West Hospital over the summer, the experience made me know for sure that I wanted to pursue a career in medicine. I wasn’t doing any hands...

...My decision to pursue a career in Pre-Medicine dawned upon me at a very early age. I constantly engaged myself with activities that would help me with my aspirations. Now, as a Junior in high school, my path has become much clearer and my future much more exciting. I hope to be a surgeon when I grow up. Now I understand that the path that lay before me is one filled with many obstacles, yet after enduring the hardships of medical school, rotations, internships and fellowships the only thing that could possibly limit me is myself. Knowing this puts my mind at ease, as my dreams of saving the place dearest to me, Africa, already can be considered far-fetched. Once I have achieved approval to practice medicine, I can finally go back to Africa....

...Hope this email finds you well. This is Shahin Shafiei (AAMC ID: 13977030). I am one of the applicants to the University at Buffalo Family Medicine Residency Program. I had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Symons at the Winter Weekend conference in Saratoga Springs in New York last January and learning more about the structure of the inpatient and outpatient family medicine rotations in your program. I believe that the three distinct training tracks along with the concentration in global health that your program provide is the perfect fit for me and in line with my clinical interests. I am a graduate of the American University of Antigua College of Medicine in 2015. Upon graduation from medical school, I had the opportunity to obtain more...

...I strive to enhance the quality of human life through sound investigation and precise medical judgment. My earliest influence in the medical field stemmed from frequent visits to Children’s Hospital of Cincinnati where I was diagnosed with chronic asthma. Fortunately, my unsolicited visits to the hospital opened a faucet of interest in medicine. My career goal was further solidified following my mother’s diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Her hypoglycemic episode was quickly treated and controlled by skilled emergency physicians who were astutely trained in treating urgent patients. I was impressed by the professionalism, skill and quality of care that emergency room physicians delivered within a short time frame. These experiences are what developed my desire to pursue a career in medicine; specifically emergency room medicine. I hope to prolong life by simply understanding the mechanism of human disease, validating prevention and identifying the most effective treatment of disease. I am currently a biology pre-medicine student studying at Malone University. Following...

...I was barely able to keep both of my eyes open, but I had to keep going. I had to do the long shift because everyone was away with their family over Thanksgiving weekend. Ever since my parents had died from cancer, I had no one left in my family, so I was able to work holidays. I was in the lab mixing medicine for sick people and testing new drugs out. Some of the medicine was to help people with cancer, but it didn't do much. There still are many people dying from cancer, and there was no cure for it. As I walked to the cabinet I took out some of the new medicine that was created to help cancer; however, it was not really helpful yet because it didn't stop...

...I began working at the age of 18 and learned how to balance my hectic life with work, making time for friends and family, and also keeping my grades up. I’ve been on the dean’s list every semester since I began college all while working full time. Staying motivated has not been easy because of my clinical depression but having people that support and believe in me has pushed me to do my best in everything. I joined the Math, Engineering Science Achievement (MESA) program because I know pursuing a career in the sciences can be very difficult and overwhelming. I found this would be a great opportunity for me to have a sense of guidance being a first generation student not knowing how to pursue a career in medicine. This has helped me tremendously...

...Everyone has this image of Africa: children with distended stomachs, dry dirt roads and mud brick shelters. It’s what we see in media; whether it be over the internet or on the news. We hear of the poverty, the corruption, the social injustice. And all of these things exist, if that’s what you’re looking for. However, as I ventured into this new part of the world, my eyes were open to so much more than the images I had previously let myself define as “Africa.” I journeyed to Burkina Faso, West Africa to gain knowledge about careers in third world medicine. What I left with was immensely more valuable. One event that left an immutable mark on me happened as we were returning from a village late one night. We were driving down the largest road...

...because the words are so profoundly true. In the end we cannot blame anyone but ourselves for the way our life turns out. As I began writing this paper, I really had to think about how I felt about my own personal responsibility. I had to consider how my decisions affect those that are in my personal circle. Realizing the choices that I make now or in the future could have a paramount effect on my family and closes friends. Yes, I am responsible for how others view me and take into account the person that I have come to be. Being personally responsible means; being accountable for everything that happens in my life, including my actions, attitude and the decisions I make about such things as my health, how I handle myself on my job, being a good parent and being an excellent student. Personal responsibility also means that for every cause there is an effect, every action has a reaction. Is this reaction positive or negative? Well, that depends solely on how one handles the situation life throws your way. My true happiness depends on the degree to which I recognize and accept the consequences of my actions and realize that each action has a direct impact on whether I reach my goals, accomplish my dreams and make my life meaningful. I have recently decided to take personal responsibility for my life and finish what I started so many years ago. I always promised myself when I had finished raising my son I would return to school and complete my degree. That moment has arrived...

...Personal Responsibility and College Success Personal responsibility is something that can help an individual. I believe that if a person has the sense to be responsible in their everyday life, then being successful in college will be a breeze. To be successful, one has to make good choices to get good results. The choice I made was to attain my college degree. In order to pursue that goal, I need to be personally responsible for the work ahead and make it through any obstacles. Furthering ones education and personal responsibility have many things in common, especially if it helps that person get their priorities in order. Personal responsibility is accepting the actions chosen and the consequences from those actions. I take upon myself to set my personal responsibility as succeeding in college. Haskins (2009) wrote, “When applied to education, personal responsibility means that students accept the responsibility to study hard and to learn as much as they can in courses that press against the limits of their capacity.”. In other words, I am going to push myself until I can no longer push. Move forward, do not look back – only look at what the future holds. I want to set an example for my children that if you find the motivation that helps you be that better person, go for it. According to Ellis (2011), “Motivation can come simply from being clear about your goals and acting on them.” My personal motivations are to provide my children with a future that I can give...

...Individual personal statement Over the course of the facilitation module I have learnt many things, whether it be through work in class, through my own wider reading or my own personal experiences being a participant. One thing that has become clear through my reading of Boal's games for actors and non-actors is that facilitation is a platform to allow anyone to experience drama. I found this very interesting as using facilitation in this way shows the positive ways in which drama can be used. I felt that this was an important idea, especially as the purpose of our workshop was to bring drama to an age group that might not have had a chance to experience it. Although our group was not on the same calibre as the groups that Boal's in the theatre of the oppressed it is still just as important for them to experience drama, “Even if they had all been homogeneous groups I feel that this introduction would have been necessary” (Boal,1992) this clearly shows that it is important that we use facilitation in this way. Although I missed a section of this module, due to health reasons, I feel that I have tried my best to put in an equal effort towards to outcome as my peers. I have tried to use my own experiences being a participant in workshops myself and also my experience being a facilitator at a local drama school to influence my decisions in the planning and development process. As I was working with children of a similar age, I felt that this influenced the way I worked in this...

...debate question is a question you are either going to agree or disagree with the statement. Based on the lack of participation from the rest of my group I do not know their feeling on this debate question. I personal response is yes. I do believe transgendered individuals should be able to participate in the homecoming as the other sex. I feel I put in efficient effort for this debate and debate question. Although I did not personally pick the debate question I had suggested several other topics but choice to stay on board with this debate question so the discussion would proceeds faster. Although I feel I personally put forth a lot of effort I know I could always do more. I could have not waited for so many days to pass waiting on my other teammates response. Although they were not responding I could have posted the research I found and what my option was. I have done some research on this debate question. I submitted an order to the University of Phoenix section in the Library called Ask a Librarian and I received a responses. The responses I received back from the Librarian suggested ways I could find reliable sources in the University Library. These sources will help me for future references with the debate question. I also did some personal research on the debate question out of curiosity. I know when I write more papers in the future or bring more to the debate I will use resources I find in the University of Phoenix Library....

...Psychology Major Module 2: Assignment: Instructions and Grading Rubric DIRECTIONS: Personal Credo: Psychology is a science that pervades nearly every moment of every day of our lives. To provide just one small example, consider the complex psychological and physiological processes involved in forming thoughts, communicating with others, and remembering both happy and sad memories. The very manner in which you engage (or do not engage) with others in the world around you has been derived from a series of influences on you, both genetic and environmental, that have shaped you into the person you are today. Thus, we are the amalgamation of collective influences on us, from our families and friends to our coworkers and larger society. It is my firm conviction that to appreciate who we are and what we stand for, it is important to periodically self-reflect and consider our life experiences, those things important to us, and our current direction in life. To assist you in doing this, I will ask that each of you complete a “personal credo.” This term may be somewhat alien to you, so I will explain what materials are to be included in this brief summary of who you are. Submit your assignment via the Dropbox no later than Sunday 11:59 PM EST/EDT. (This Dropbox basket is linked to Turnitin.) The word “credo” relates to a personal set of values or beliefs. For this class, conceptualize your personal credo as a brief autobiographical statement that details not only important background...
