Personal Statement
Don't be discouraged," my academic advisor told me with a grin. "You can do it, I know you can." Her inspiring words resonated with me throughout the rest of the day, and I resolved to knock on your doors once again. I recently commenced studies at the dental school in which I am currently enrolled, and although I am getting a lot out of the program of study, I still regret that I did not make the cut for the school of my first choice. My academic advisor, although sorry to see me leave, had always known that my core ambition was to study with the esteemed faculty at your academy. Throughout my undergraduate career, I set my mind on attending my dream school and my dream has never died. Because I feel that I will make an excellent addition to your student body, because I know I will fit in well with my fellow students, and because I am determined and dedicated, I am applying for a transfer.
My intended area of specialization is cosmetic dentistry, as I would love more than anything to help people improve their smiles. Throughout my academic career so far, I have taken every advantage to intern with and volunteer at various dental offices to get an idea of all aspects of the profession, from the everyday running of the office to crowns and bridges. Shadowing other dentists has only inspired me to pursue this line of work even more, and I want to be able to deliver the best services possible. I have researched many dental academies and feel drawn to this one more than any other because of the opportunity to work in a state-of -- the art facility, using cutting edge technology and receiving guidance from the best educators in the field.
I will participate fully in the program, contributing to research, volunteering whenever possible, and being open to new techniques of the trade. Furthermore, your school provides one of the most balanced dental curricula that I have run across, for I thrive in programs that combine hard academics with hands on clinical experience. I will make an excellent addition to your current class of graduates and will represent your institution with aplomb after I graduate. Thank you for your consideration.
Children should have the values of what they learn in the school curriculum reinforced on the field. The spatial relations and kinesthetic knowledge required to throw a ball touches upon what students learn in science; the ethics of sports figures and steroid use are addressed in social studies; the philosophical and spiritual importance of sports is discussed in great literature. Students can even have math skills reinforced by keeping
Basically, she is confronting the issue of role ambiguity. Is it really her job to monitor corporate ethics and compliance or should she simply wait until her manager hangs himself through his own carelessness? This introduces another stressor that she faces, that is, one of career development. Turning her boss in jeopardizes her upward mobility. Ambiguity and threat to her career are big factors. The interpersonal relationships she has developed
My learning in the field of qualitative research 1. In terms of qualitative methodology and the problems of scientism/positivism, what does it mean to recognize the limits of exactitude and certainty, but still to have respect for empirical work? Where do you presently locate yourself paradigmatically and methodologically in terms of your own investments in producing knowledge? As a research strategy, positivism can be an approach that is based on the ontological
By "story" I do not mean that the ways in which they understand (and enact) their lives are somehow false, fiction rather than fact. Rather, I am using the word in what might be seen as an essentially Jungian way: Each person's biography can be seen as a narrative, a story that the self tells about the self and to the self. It is the most fundamental story in
Personal Statement: Regarding My Future Pharmacy Career Even a casual reader of today's newspapers will know that the modern drug industry has been subjected to increasingly rigorous scrutiny and litigation. In the current climate, it is easy to forget what it is like to live in a land where antibiotics are not a phone call to the doctor away, and research dollars for drug research are scarce, not the subject of
Improving a Personal Relationship Identifying a Relationship The relationship between my husband and I crossed my mind immediately I went through the details of this project. Like most people in my place, I definitely had no way of finding out what I was letting myself in for when I got involved with him. I wouldn't blame myself; he knew just how to play his cards. Not only was he interested in all
