1. Personal statement that connects your accomplishments with your career goals.
a.This statement should include academic, personal, and professional accolades.
About me and what I want to be included in my statement:
I grew up in Nassau Bahamas. I am Haitian/Bahamian also because both parents were born in haiti. I grew up in a single-parent household with five sisters and one of them was my twin. My mom had two sets of sets and one single baby.
At the age of 13, my twin and I had to get a serious job to help with bills in the house to help my mom because she was stressed.
My dad left my mom before we were even born to marry someone else.
At the age of nine, I tutor children in the neighborhood and help with homework.
Parents would drop off their children so my twin and I could help them with schoolwork. A lot of parents did not understand English their first language was Creole that why they were not about to help their kids with their homework and projects.
Childhood was not much of a childhood because we had to help take care of our siblings
At the age of 15 my father came back in the picture and told my mom he wanted us to move with him to the United States. My mom agree because it was the land of dreams and she need the help although she will miss her first born children.
You would thought taking care of my siblings would make me dislike children but that was the opposite. My love for children grew much bigger and that when I found out I wanted to become a children doctor. I take care of children and make them feel 100% better.
When I move to state it was a hurt change for my twin and I because all we knew was our mom and the neighborhood, we grew up in. we had to adjust to living in the US.
Our first day of high school was scary because it was an adjustment to being in a huge school. I had a Bahamian accent, and our peers could barley understand us. I was unaware I had an accent until I came to America.
Boyd Anderson high school is where we begin our junior year of high school. It was hard finding classes and adjusting. But I meet other peers that was from the Bahamas and other Caribbean Island like Jamaica and Haiti. Who now still my friends.
I join the band and become a majorette. I dance at the first football game of the season and it was scary and amazing. It was fun and I love dancing because it was way I could express myself. I did that for my junior year. For my senior year I pick up an instrument which was a trumpet. I wanted to like how to play at least one instrument and it was hard at first but I git better through time. Had great time with the team.
I also was in the Mentoring Tomorrow Leader (MTL) club which we mentor freshmen and sophomores. Also, we volunteer and help out in the community.
I volunteer for Test Administrator/ Head of YMCA Assistant, and I was Responsibilities include but not limited to setting up and categorizing students for needed statewide and local testing, notifying and rescheduling students for appropriate test, assisting in the arrangements needed for YMCA meetings, events and management of clubs.
I also dual enrolled at Broward Community College because I was done with my senior credits and had some time in my hand. Which was my first taste of college life.
After finishing high school I took a break over the summer and I move to Orlando with my grandfather to attend Valencia college. I really wanted to go to UCF but I was not ready for that university setting as of yet.
After Valencia, I transfer over to ucf where I am currently getting my bachelors in health science.
The documents at the bottom are example of which it should look like but it has to be 2 pages.
