Good evening graduates, family and faculty. We made it! This moment is everyone’s and tonight I hope that all of us can feel as victorious as I do, for our success is your success too. Graduates, I want you to think back to your happiest moment in your journey at Montclair State University. Hold that thought close to your heart. For many of us, it will be successfully completing our first semester or securing that internship that you really wanted. For others like myself, my happiest moment happened even before I drove up Valley Road to MSU. You see, I had dreamed of that moment for the past two years. The moment where I would hold the acceptance letter in my hand.
Like many of you, at some point if it felt like being here, getting to this

As I delved into the world of population health and behavior change, I found myself creating my second happiest moment, and that was, giving back to my community. I have been lucky to have had a chance to work within my field. Most of the populations I work with are communities have little to no access to healthcare. I have been humbled by the generosity that these communities bring and the fervent need to provide health education, greater access to healthcare and significant changes in healthcare …show more content…
No matter what you studied, we should all aim to use the tools that this great university has given us, and use them to help others make better choices, be it in their health, their finances, or education. I have learned that our degrees are not just about what job we get or whether it will get us a job at all. Our degrees are a culmination of the time and effort that we all took to learn new skills, concepts and theories so that we can go out into the world and make an impact in someone else’s life. We are more than ready. Montclair State University 's small school environment has allowed us to spend valuable time sharing ideas and learning from instructors and each other. Academic resources on campus have allowed us to perfect resumes and papers. Our MSU community is eager to learn and
I will contribute to the mission of the Nurse Corps Scholarship program by continuing to provide care to individuals in underserved communities. Medically underserved communities involve racial minorities, offenders and ex-offenders, crime or abuse victims, LGBTQ citizens, people with AIDS, and those that are economically disadvantaged. I was born in the small town of Monroeville, AL. It is a great town but it does not have the best resources when it comes to health care. Most members of this town, including my family, would bypass the hospital there and go to the one in the next town simply because they feel
Healthcare is intriguing. The health and wellness of people always has been intriguing and always will be. My background in healthcare came as an environmental pass down with a father as a Registered Nurse and a mother in healthcare management. It was inevitable that the journey of healthcare started being instilled without my knowledge of it, as a young child. A constant learning in the health sciences and management directed my way. By the start of college, the intrigue lead to compassion, lighting a fire for the administration of healthcare. This calling spurred by a great woman, my mother, who is a national redesign award winner by the Bureau of Primary Healthcare in Health Disparities. These footsteps down her similar path with careful guidance, but not to be confused with an easy path.
It is my duty to conduct outreach in populations that are hard to reach like in rural and urban communities. In the rural communities, individuals have little to no access to computers and social interactions as well as limited public transportation; which limits their ability to receive resources that are beneficial for their lives. Meanwhile, in urban communities, individuals have access to computers and social interactions and access to public transportation, but lack the finances to obtain these valuable resources. Both communities experience these barriers interchangeably none of which is excluded. It is also my duty, to assist and enroll individuals in public health services such as: The Affordable Care Act (ACA), Medicaid, and
People are happy not because they are successful. They are successful because they are always happy and find what they love to do. So Happiness and success are all about passing our life in our own way. But life doesn't always get exactly, what we want. Our expectation is huge in our life. But nothing will change in the world if I have lots of money, doing a better job or have a luxury car. It may bring external happiness in my life for a few days, but not internal for long days.
So many thoughts ran through my head but the one i really cared about was how am i supposed to get out of this place? Am i really lost is he going to leave without me? I plopped down on the bench were i had lost my dad and started to fish for answers. Nothing came to me except the thought that when i first landed in front of this huge building it had been so welcoming so beautiful and all the cool dinosaur bones and ancient artifacts and how awesome photographer i had been but that one second changed it all, the moment i stopped to drink the one tiny drop of water.
Emotions and the physiological stress reaction can affect the everyday life? It is a way of expressing oneself in life. Positive emotions can open the door to learning for you. Negative emotions-especially overwhelming stress-can literally make to impossible to do well. This is subject that I know too well. The emotional state of mind also has a big part in our success. (Why Learning Is Not All in Your Head), Neurophysiologist Carla Hannaford writes: “Our mind/body system learns through experiencing life in context, in relationship to everything else, and it is our emotions, our feelings that mediate that context. In order to learn, think or create, learners must have an emotional commitment.”
The purpose of this community profile is to discuss a particular health improvement issue within a chosen community. A community can be defined using many different terms. You can belong to a community through religious beliefs. Through shared experiences or interests. You can belong to a political community where all involved share the same political interests. A community can also be defined as ‘a family’ a small village where many have lived most of their lives who share the same desire to belong to that community.
Good afternoon, I would like to begin by thanking the staff for the privilege of speaking before you on this bittersweet day. It seems like this past year has been a jumble of excitement, reminiscence of the past and uncertainty for the future. After dreaming about graduating since we jumped off the bus on the first day of kindergarten, it's finally here.
Not just because of those parties they throw at night, which everybody talked about. I have to admit I went out all day of the week, and can assure you it was the best week of my life. I was really waiting for all those orientations which they give you that week. What I wasn’t really expecting was, that in that week I was going to get not just one of the best memories of my life, but the proudest moment of my life. The feeling you have when you get in there with Rafael Mangual is something you can’t describe with words.
Eight months ago, January 11th at 7:48pm to be exact, was the best day of my life. The day I’ve been waiting for since early 2009, when I was only 13 years old. That dream of mine, I shared with someone very close to me. The faces on me and my best friend was unimaginable, expressing all the emotions one could possibly express. Our eyes were watery from happiness and nervous laughter. Our hands were shaky and sweaty. It was an unbelievable feeling where someone had to pinch our arms to know that we weren’t dreaming. What we didn’t knew was that our dream wouldn’t actually come true.
My lifetime goal is to have everything in order, to be financially stable and have a contented life. Of course, there’s more to it, but can a person really have a happy life? I would say yes, but that’s obviously not true because everyone has their ups and downs. Whether it 's financial issues, boyfriend/girlfriend issues, loss of a family member, etc. However, I believe it is possible to maintain a satisfying life. In fifteen years, I see myself enjoying my career as a Marriage and Family Therapist with a lovely home and married to my current boyfriend Nicholas. I would love to have at least three children by then, hopefully before I reach the age thirty-five. Honestly, to tell you the truth, I do not want to have kids in my late adult life,
Happiness, it varies from person to person and is different for everyone. Happiness could mean a new phone or maybe just a memory. Money can’t buy any emotion, including love. Although, Money can buy things that make you happy which in turn is buying happiness just in a different form. You see, being “happy” is easy for some and harder for others so it really just depends on how you stand emotionally. Money can affect your mood in many different ways, but the main way is being happy.
I was seven years old when I start to be aware about my surroundings, which was also my first year going to the school. I start ask questions about life, in particular my own life, who I was, where I come from, where do I go. I lived with a big family, my parents, my two brothers and one sister, grandparents and two disabled uncles, but my house was always filled of new people every day, because of my grand mom skills as a folk healer, sometimes late at night somebody knock the door looking for comforting, prayers or medicine and the person was welcomed by my grand mom, nobody was turned down no matter what time of the day or night they would show up. An unusual childhood if I compared with the houses
I believe that happiness is the key to living a good and prosperous life. Through all of the sadness and hate in the world, happiness gives me hope. It gives not only me, but others hope and joy. Happiness gives us something to hold onto, therefore we cherish it as much as we can.
My family and I are from China, where most of our relatives and extended families still reside. When I was 4 or 5 years old, my father hopped onto a plane and flew to Canada, in hopes to find a better future for my mother and me. From ages 4 to 8, I lived with my mother in a small apartment. Close to the end of age 8, my mother and I got onto a plane and was finally able to reunite with my father. On the day of the reunion, I was unsure if I was excited to finally see my father or if I was excited to finally ride a plane.
