Recommended: Peer pressure in secondary students

Do I have the qualities to join this program? This is a question I have been asking myself for awhile. This program seems interesting, and I would be honored if I got in, even though there are multiple others who feel the same. I find myself completely ready for the Cambridge Program, and I hope after reading this essay, you will too. One thing I love to do is help everyone around me when they ask for it, even though I can be considerably strict at times. I love to help people, whether it be in public, or just around the house. My current school has may clubs, and I like to be as involved as I can. I joined the News Team, Safety Patrol, and Chorus. I donate money to every single fundraiser - my own, and sometimes relatives if they want - along with keeping people safe. People often ask for my help - teachers, fellow students, family, etc. - even though I can be strict. Being strict is definitely a habit I’m trying to break. I only get strict when people get me mad, or when students are goofing off, and not doing work. My friends and family say that it is a leadership skill, but I want to stop doing it so often. So, I breathe and calm down, but I still do it sometimes. I am doing it less, and will be satisfied when I don’t do it anymore. …show more content…

In the morning, I wake up 15 minutes before 7:00, and meditate for awhile, while reading over basic rules and breathing calmly. I always relax before school, and make sure to stay that way. However, this doesn’t help as much when I get mad. When I get mad at a fellow student, I simply walk away - if I can - and breathe for 30 seconds. Then, I find the student and peacefully resolve the conflict. If it is a teacher, I remind myself that he/she is the authority, and what they say goes. I make sure to stay calm under many situations, and never resort to rule breaking actions, or

    I am dedicated to helping out our community and school, because it warms my heart and soul. Seneca said in about 40 to 60 A.D. that you should “be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favors you have received.” In other words you should not boast about the numerous projects you have accomplished and how much physical work you executed, but rather pride yourself on how you helped people in community and school, and how you have affected their lives with positive means. I feel life is joyous and it should be the feeling everyone illustrates, and this is exactly what keeps me functioning in the stressful world today. I find comfort in helping others to make their lives a little more like heaven and this comfort motivates me to perform copious service projects to the best of my capability whenever I find the time. Time is fair to the rich, the poor, and to every race, because time is equal and gives everyone 24 hours daily to accomplish their required tasks. Because time is so valuable and I am occupied by difficult advanced placement and honor classes and juggle school, clubs, sports, and friends, I joined Key Club, a high school division of the adult service club, Kiwanis. Key Club opened new doors to make every extra minute count towards helping others.

    After spending almost four years at Temple University as an undergraduate, the idea of continuing my education at Temple University School of Medicine more than intrigues me. Throughout my undergraduate career at Temple, I have made the effort to get involved in the Temple community and have enjoyed the connections and relationships that I have created with Temple faculty, staff, and students. Beginning in my freshman year as an executive board member of the 1300 Residence Hall Senate and continuing with my current involvement in AMSA and employment in the Office of Pre-Professional Health Studies, I have interacted with various members of the Temple administration and found that each of them are willing to go out of their way to help me and continue to challenge me to accomplish the goals that I have set for myself. In addition, other students at Temple have enhanced my learning experience through group study as well as opened my eyes to a variety of diverse cultures and points of view. As a result of these encounters, I believe that remaining the Temple family will be beneficial in my medical education.
