¶ … decision required me to honestly question my passions, talents, and eventual career goals, settling on a major was no easy task. A persistent interest in sociology helped me to eventually narrow my choice of academic concentration. Sociology classes engaged me in ways most other subjects did not; I found myself applying what I would learn in the classroom to my personal life and to my worldview. For example, studying sociology theories prompted me to investigate the basics of human group interactions that I normally would have taken for granted. I began to more finely hone my academic interests within the rubric of sociology: I was most interested in interpersonal and group communications. Eventually I realized that my main area of academic interest was in the complex and multi-faceted field of communications and I decided to pursue this as a major.
A view communications as being totally relevant to daily life on both a small and a large scale. All relationships are based on the ability for people to communicate with each other. Whether with total strangers or close relatives, each person devises ways to communicate based on ethnic,
... I find these communications imperatives fascinating; I especially appreciate how a greater understanding of human communications can help ease racial or cultural conflicts.
Once I fully realized what my major would be, I decided to search the campus of Foothill College for resources. Everything fell into place, as it seemed that I succeeded at each pursuit I would undertake, including participating in the Foothill Ambassador program; serving in the student government as Media and Communications Coordinator, and as President of the Korean Club. In addition I was privileged to work as a volunteer in my own community of Cupertino, an experience that rewarded me on many different levels.
My job as a hostess also helped me by giving me a way to practice my people skills in the real world and led me to appreciate the importance of studying human communications. I have been blessed to work directly with people of different backgrounds, ideologies, and worldviews. Life experiences such as these acknowledge that textbooks only provide a portion of an education, especially one in a field that by definition is centered on people.

Personal Statement for Pharmacy School Pharmacy School is highly important to me as part of my career path, and I believe I am both personally and professionally well-qualified to attend and be successful. I have work experience in the pharmaceutical field, having worked at my aunt's pharmacy in the past. This work taught me a great deal about pharmacy as a profession, but also gave me a lot of insight about
In the past, I have volunteered for Tree City USA in Orland Hills in a number of projects and events. I also have a soft spot for communal well-being and development and in that regard; I occasionally coach the little league basketball just as a way of making a small contribution towards the development of others. I may not be the brightest student in my class at Western Illinois University,
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
Currently, I am in my second year, near the end of completing that transfer degree, from Santa Monica College. I also have a great deal of interest in my culture and in keeping contacts with other people who are from the area where I was born. Especially people my own age who are experiencing the challenge of being between the old culture and the new one, which are pretty different
Personal Statement I have always admired people like Bill Gates and Michael Dell who started their own businesses while still in college, with hardly any startup money. They poured everything they had, and even neglected their studies, into a creative business venture. They relied on what they knew instinctually, in that case knowledge of computers, and also discovered a previously untapped market niche. I believe a lot of business sense is
Pathologists are often called 'the doctor's doctor ' -- when other doctors are experiencing an impasse, they go to a pathologist for advice, to provide clarity. As someone who has always enjoyed working as a teacher and preparing teaching materials, I look forward to this role in relation to my fellow physicians. Upon arriving in the United States to practice medicine, I gained experience in the field of pathology-related research,
