Prioritizing an entire lifetime of experiences, thoughts, emotions, achievements, hopes and dreams into a white box with a 900 word capacity seems nothing less than a daunting task. Why then face this task? Why not avoid it entirely and seek comfort instead? These are the same questions of which every individual is faced with in every task they undertake. How someone decides to answer these questions determines how they develop as an individual. Through this observation, it becomes apparent that, in life, one can choose to either shy away from the fear and insecurity that comes with challenge or embrace it in an attempt to accomplish something that could be truly worthwhile. Whilst growing up, I sought the first approach. Through grade school and into middle school, I wanted only to accomplish the tasks that I was presented and do the bare minimum to obtain what I viewed as an acceptable result. I did this easily enough and kept it up through even my freshman year in high school. However, during this time, I found myself becoming very numb to everything around me. The feeling was that of lost fervor; a blunted flame that had once burned as an inspiring sunburst of light. I became aware of this feeling and began to search inward for the source. I began to observe my every day interactions, habits, and activities until the problem slowly dawned on me - I had no inner drive because I sought no challenge. I let each week pass by with little variance and any new experiences were few and far between. I lived in a world of security and regularity and within that world, had allowed myself to forget one of the most crucial points in a being's existence - the pursuit of passion.It was from that point of realization that I decided to truly e... ... middle of paper ... ...ocks along the way. Sadly, the first and perhaps most detrimental of these blocks is one which I cannot overcome alone. The financial barrier that I face by going into the Ohio State central Columbus campus is great indeed. For my aspirations to be shut down by a few dollar signs is something that can literally be heartbreaking but I will not let my financial situation deter me from trying my hardest to get to where I want to go. I truly cannot say how thankful I am to have had the assistance that I've had to get to this point, for without it I would not even be typing this statement right now. I just want to be able to look back over a new crowd, full of brand new people and experiences, and as I take my engineering degree in hand, know that I finally have the opportunity and ability to give back and reach out to help others just as I have been helped along the way.
At some point in life most people have allowed at least one challenge to defeat them, if not more. Then there are those people who view these challenges as simply that, a challenge. This was the theme throughout Kyle Maynard’s novel, No Excuses, I learned that it is how we go about conquering these challenges that defines us as people. Throughout his novel he notes things will not always come easily; therefore, it is up to us to dig deep and conquer our goals. By finding alternate routes and adjusting your mindset, we are able to achieve any goal we set our minds to. Because it is not the obstacle that holds us back but it is ourselves that keeps us from fulfilling our greatest
So many people have ideas of things they want to do, whether they be business-related, something that scares them or even just asking someone else out on a date. Everyone has ideas about how they want to live their lives, but most people never wind up following through. They are so afraid of failure or of looking bad that they run from any kind of challenge. Then later in life, when they realize that they had all these opportunities and never took ad...
In conclusion, I was fortunate enough to understand many important things in life. One of those things is that we do not always begin at the desired start line, but through effort and strong will we can arrive at the desired finish line, where the outcome of our plans and goals reside. In my pursuit of education, I faced many challenges and hardships, but I always viewed them as temporary setbacks not as a finish line. I am certain that an opportunity to study at the UW would help me reach my finish line.
There are a lot of reasons why I chose to pursue pharmacy as my career and they all point to the most important reason: pharmacy is a great fit for my life and is something I have become increasingly passionate about. It started when I was researching careers with my parents and my dad suggested pharmacy and, simply put, it sparked my interest because at the time it was one of the few things I thought I would not hate doing. A healthcare career has always been where I put myself in the future, mainly because most of my family members are in the healthcare field. However, I have never been one that could directly help the wounded or deal with anything gory, but am very intrigued by the growing science of pharmacy. As I continue exploring pharmacy, the more I enjoy learning about it and feel like I could excel in this career.

She could not have been bigger than two quarters lying side by side.She was struggling! Even with all the procedures the doctors were executing to save her life, she was performing the most work.

Since the beginning of my academic endeavors, I have long cherished a dream to be a member of the social science research community, which gives our society progressive insights into human ecology. I began my undergraduate studies at Ramapo College of New Jersey with a passion for ecological justice and with the intention of majoring in environmental studies. Ramapo College’s progressive liberal arts foundation provided me with ample room to explore the multifarious array of social science courses. As I took more social science courses, however, my understanding of human social groups underwent a metamorphosis. As a result, I decided to pursue a degree in Social Science, with minors in the two fields I felt most passionately interested in, Women’s Studies and African American Studies.

Another is the way that people apply there strengths to different situations.
Those obstacles have made me a stronger person than I was before and I am thankful for them. I also have God to thank because without him, I wouldn 't have made it through these past four years.

Throughout humanity, individuals evolved and adapted to a changing society. People have not always been perfect in their selected field, however, as time progress individuals learn to develop themselves. A common factor that drives success throughout humanity is an individual 's capacity to set goals and strive towards personal development. As we progress through life and become older, individuals tend to realize life only becomes harder, and in the working world; life is not a walk to Elysium. With each passing year, life becomes more extensive, and stress tends to consume us, although life is difficult anything can be achieved and overcome by setting goals and attempting to enhance our personal development.
