Personal statement: University of Fairbanks
If I were to describe myself in one word it would be this: Alaskan. To me, the word 'Alaskan' sums up all of the positive traits of my character: the fact that I am outdoorsman, adventurous, and undaunted in the face of adversity. I am currently a senior at Chugiak High School in Eagle River, Alaska. My goal is to attend the University of Fairbanks and major in Construction Management.
Most of my extracurricular activities revolve around my passion for the outdoors. Becoming an Eagle Scout was one of the proudest moments of my life, the cumulating effort of a lifetime of scouting. To earn my status, I had to engage in a number of community service projects designed to improve my locality. For example, to enable my local kindergarten to see local flowers bloom every year, I built window boxes outside of the schoolroom. As well as beautifying the classroom,...
One of my most exciting efforts as a volunteer was my work for some local dog sledding events. This allowed me to blend my love for uniquely Alaskan pastimes and animals together.
However, the most meaningful service effort I have ever completed cannot be easily summed upon on a resume. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer this past March. Because of the difficulties her treatment has caused for my family's routine, I have had to make extra efforts to 'pitch in' to help my family. I have two sisters and am the only boy in the family. My mother's diagnosis has forced me to grow up quickly as I take on added responsibilities to help the family run smoothly so she will not have any extra stresses. Fighting cancer is hard enough: she should not have to see my sisters and myself engage in…

Haynes does not attempt to sweeten to story in order to make an impression on his readers. Instead, he presents the battle exactly as it evolved, and, exactly as people died on an island that resembled a hell on earth. In order to advance and to
The company eventually bought a majority stake in the Wuxi Brewery outside Shanghai. In this situation, the company took the capacity and built a local brand with it, using the local connections in distribution and marketing. The company then built a brewery in Suzhou, leveraging the ability of the landlord to deal with the finer points of Chinese bureaucracy. With this brewery, Lion Nathan had full autonomy, something that the
Lion Iwo Haynes, F. & Warren, J. (2008). The Lions of Iwo Jima. New York: Henry Holt & Co. Some of the most prominent battles and battle sites fought and fought over by this nation's military have been discussed and described so frequently and in such great detail that it seems as though there is nothing more to be said about them. Elements of strategy, victories celebrated and lessons learned, and examples
According to the legendary myth of Bellerophon and Pegasus, the Chimera terrorized the city where it lived until it was slain by the great hero. The statute is said to be relatively 'stereotypical.' "The posture of the beast, with the mouth open, the body arching up, and the legs stiffly stretched forward, is always the same. It seems that the ancient artists who took up the task of painting
The hyena hoodlums sound like stereotypical jive-talking, urban blacks (racist). Despite all this, however, the movie remains popular with children and adults (Twomey 120) who continue to ignore or remain unaware of these negative messages. What does it teach then? Mainly, that Simba must accept responsibility. His mission is to be King and rule wisely so that the kingdom can prosper. He has to accept this responsibility in order to
He feels it is outmoded and demeans women, but Sidi cannot see that, and demands that he recognize her value by paying the bride price. This is something that would never be tolerated in western culture, so it shows the great differences that will come to Africa, and how those differences will affect her people. Lakunle is really a voice for the future, but his voice also dooms traditional
