The company’s mission statement is dedicated to solving complex problems and finding innovative solutions. This internship is perfectly tailored to my career goals, as I am very interested in conducting intensive research in the realm of STEM to find …show more content…
I have participated in a variety of research opportunities at my high school. I took the Advanced Authentic Research course at my high school, which allowed me to research cellular allometric scaling laws under the guidance of a mentor. It was an eye-opening experience to have worked in a professional setting through meeting with my mentor and gathering data from large databases. Currently in my junior year, I am enrolled in the AP Seminar course at my school, which puts me on the path to obtain my AP Capstone diploma by the end of my high school career. In AP Seminar, I have engaged in deep research and learned how to synthesize arguments, which has culminated in many research papers. I have research a wide variety of topics: the social implications of climate change mitigation, prestige in the Silicon Valley, and the viability of aquaculture in the future. All of these experiences have made me want to potentially pursue research projects in college. Furthermore, I consider myself an environmentalist and an avid advocate for climate change mitigation. I hope to be able to engage in research involving new green energy or energy-saving technologies that will help with climate change mitigation, which is, in my opinion, one of the most impending problems of my generation. I am also educated in public policy surrounding the environment, so I could also potentially pursue a path that combines public policy and green energy or climate

I am sure that not too many graduates from WCU can claim to be an alumnus times three! I have had the privilege of receiving my Bachelor’s degree, my Master’s degree, and most recently my Doctoral degree from the newly designed Educational Leadership program at WCU. I have had the honor of taking classes from some of WCU’s paramount professors, including Jane Schultz, Ellen Bacon, Lisa Bloom, Casey Hurley, Robert Crow, Kofi Lomotey, Kathleen Jorrisen, Anne Allen, and David Sutton. I offer a special shout out to Dr. Dale Carpenter, who was not only my professor and early advisor, but he was also my inspiration to continue to flourish through all three levels of my education. Lastly, I wholeheartedly lift up Dr. Brandi Hinnant-Crawford for
The occupational study of construction managers has been a great experience for me. I went into the situation expecting to find an average career with a simple day in and day out routine that would only change as much as the location would. What I found could not be more from the opposite. The work is exciting and constantly changing as the job changes. No two jobs are ever the same, and I saw that as I shadowed Ryan at two different job sites. This project took me through the history, training, and a day on the job. It could not have been a better experience, and this project proved that a career in construction management is a real possibility in the future.
Moreover, internships are great starting blocks for a career. Jeff McGuire explains how in today’s educational system, schools have specialized offices and employees whose primary responsibility is to help you...
When I was a child my best friend and I would languish in the outdoors like dew in the grass on a mid-autumn morning, only coming home when we could smell the scent of fresh garlic bread or lasagna rising through the air. We would build a fort resembling the Taj Mahal one day, and the next would be dismantling a small engine to see what’s inside. I consider my childhood the proving grounds where I honed my bombing runs to prepare me for the job I currently have. Not only did it prepare me for the job, it lit a fire in me that can’t be put out. The Air Force Research Laboratory Center for Rapid Innovation is a great place to work because of the intellectual minds that can be harnessed, the variety of the projects that are carried out, and the
Since I have been involved in Skyline High Schools STEM academy, my thirst for knowledge regarding spacecraft and spaceflight has fascinated me. The study of objects in deep space or within our own solar system is one of my greatest interests. I constantly find myself tuning in to NASA’s website, or stopping on any SpaceX news items to learn about any new advancements or achievements that have been made in space exploration. Anytime I have been home sick from school, or having free time, I always watch the science channel and learn about the different astronomical phenomena in space. From planetary nebula to neutron stars and black holes, nothing in space has ever been lackluster to me. What intrigues me the most is that behind any important discoveries in space, there is an instrument or spacecraft that has been created with the sole purpose of learning about these extraordinary objects. Spacecrafts, instruments, and devices of discovery are so intriguing to me. I want to delve into a more advanced understanding of these concepts. I
I came to GW as a first-year resident and completed five years of training, to include four years of residency and a one-year fellowship in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Since early on in my training, I was completely devoted to advancing women's health through providing quality care surgical procedure. After graduation, I worked on amassing all the data we had from vast prior experience in the field to share with the scientific community the care we provide at GW and advance surgical practices by evidence showing improved patient outcomes with minimally invasive surgery. To date, we have multiple functional laparoscopic and robotic databases on all the primary gynecologic procedures. We have used those databases to publish several peer-reviewed articles in leading gynecologic journals and are in the process of completing a couple of the largest cohorts on single-site myomectomy and abdominal cerclage in the nation. This practice makes our department at GW a champion in the change achieved in the surgical care provided to women in the
I want to join Peace Corps because I have always been drawn to humanitarianism. All my life, I wanted to visit new places, explore different cultures, and learn what life is like outside of the safety of the United States. I wanted to expand my knowledge of the world, and in turn, share that knowledge as well. I feel that my life will never be complete without serving others. I have so much compassion and love for people.
I decided to go back to pursue my Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing (BSN) mainly because I want to have a better career opportunity. Nurses who graduated with their BSN degrees have greater chances of working at better hospitals, especially those who are trying to obtain Magnet Recognition® status (Hawkins & Shell, 2012). Furthermore, BSN degree holders are perceived to be more competent than Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN)-prepared nurses (Wise, 2013). California State University Fullerton’s (CSUF) nursing program is guided by the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) created by the School of Nursing. The purpose of SLOs is to project what students will be able to accomplish once they finish a certain course, project, activity, or the nursing
I have a combination of academic background and professional experience gained for more than 15 years in management positions, including more than four years in DHS as PEM-B. I have a bachelor degree in Business Administration, Master Degree in Public Administration, and recently I have earned my second Masters Degree in Business Administration, major in Management. I took the Metro Leadership Class (D16, D2, and D15), last year I graduated from the Leadership Academy. My education and experience in training adults started when I obtained my Master Degree in Public Administration in 1985. As part of the graduation requirements, I took many credits of education courses such as Physiology, Teaching and Learning Techniques. Right after I graduated,
Internships are becoming the norm in today’s ever changing society. Both paid and unpaid internships allow the intern to learn about a particular field or industry, gain experience in that particular field or industry, and build a network that can be leverage for future good. These benefits combined prove to be very useful and significant to the intern because it’s a differentiator from those individuals who did not have an internship. Given the very competitive job market for recent college graduates, the many benefits of internships have caused many interns to pass up pay in return for the aforementioned benefits. Internships have become so standard in the workplace that the National Association of Colleges and Employers recently reported that 75 percent of employers prefer job candidates with relevant work experience, while more than 90 percent prefer to hire interns who have worked for their organization (Bacon, 2011). When it comes to hiring full-time employees, 42% of graduates with internships who applied for a job received an job offer compared to...
I want to be an officer in the Coast Guard because I see it is a vital service, one that recognizes the important links between maritime security, environmental protection, and socioeconomic well-being. Considering this, I believe that the Coast Guard’s multifaceted purpose is incredibly engaging and that it contributes greatly to the welfare of our nation. Since I associate maritime environments with life, community health, and economic empowerment, I feel that the protection of these [sites] and the people that depend upon them that the Coast Guard provides is [essential]. Being an officer in this distinctive service would allow me to pursue a meaningful career in which I could serve my country and help further the protection of marine environments that I so love. Growing up on the Chesapeake Bay inspired my love and respect for marine environments, as my location allowed me to see how vital America’s maritime [ecosystems] truly are.
In 2012, eighty-four percent of Santa Clara University graduates who responded to a survey from the Santa Clara University School of Engineering obtained one or more internships during their undergraduate studies. Of those who responded, eighty-two percent were employed full-time after graduation earning a median salary of $62,500 (Santa Clara University). This research exhibits that internships can be an important strategy in the efforts toward job search for both students, as well as for employers looking to hire valuable employees. As defined by InternNE.com, an internship is any carefully monitored service or work experience that may be evaluated for educational credit in which an intern or student establishes learning goals and reflects on his or her learning experience in relation to achievement of the stated goals. Internships should first be examined that, when implemented at fullest potential, these opportunities can provide companies and students with a competitive edge in today’s business world. Subsequently, it can be shown that internships assist organizations and companies with temporary or seasonal project and task completion. Lastly, internships will be clarified as to how they allow students to gain valuable experience before entering the workforce. From reviewing an ample amount of research, internships are beneficial and advantageous to the success of a young student, as well as companies.
