Since matriculating to Wake Forest School of Medicine, Jonathan has been very involved with student organizations that attract the creative energy and civic commitments of students. As an active member and leader of the Wake Forest Chapter of the Student National Medical Association (SNMA), Jonathan has devoted many hours to the planning and execution of numerous events and initiatives involving advocacy, community outreach, and service. His most significant involvement was with the SNMA Inaugural Art for a Cure Gala and Art Silent Auction. For the event, he used his nonprofit event management and leadership abilities to organize a successful fundraising campaign and gain support from local organizations to accumulate over $1,000 for research purposes at Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Interview Task 1 | Zachary Geller Research: I did not know exactly what brand of “smart” board we are talking about A google search for “smart boards cbsd” brought up a link about SMART software training for teachers https://www.cbsd.org/Page/21533 [Link 1] This led me to believe that “SMART” is the actual brand of software + equipment that cbsd may be using Googling ‘“SMART” NOTEBOOK SOFTWARE’ brought up https://education.smar So after finding the device manufacturer's website I was able to find troubleshooting links under their support page You can choose which specific model the teacher uses and that provides additional troubleshooting manuals Attempt and Problem Solving: Now the issue here is that the ticket provided to the IT department has minimal helpful information. We only got “it was an emergency.”
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
The General had some very strong parental guidance while growing up. His parents lived their lives with dignity and respect for all of those around them, these values were adopted and used throughout the Generals career. The parents were working class Jamaican immigrants who lived in the South Bronx, New York City. The parents worked hard and demanded that their children attend college.
Mercer On Mission incorporates my two main aspirations in the future: serving and travelling. Community service became a part of my life with the exposure to the help I received at the hospital. Now, I volunteer at the Piedmont Fayette Hospital to assist the patients and their family members with comfort. Moreover, studying abroad with Mercer On Mission will open my mind to the new perspectives with the experience of different cultures and ideas while serving others in need. From Mercer University’s valuable education, I wish to spread the knowledge of the ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle and prevent the risks of getting cancer. In addition, the undergraduate research program will enhance my ideas in designing innovative medical aids to fit the personal needs of the patients that will bring comfort to their daily lives. My goal in life is to simply offer a hand. Nothing compares to the joy felt when someone else’s smile transfers onto my own
In 1978, Jonathan entered the acting conservatory at Adelphi University with a four-year full-tuition merit scholarship. He told an interviewer in 1993 that the program was "an undergrad version of the Yale Rep [the theatre where students of the Yale School of Drama work alongside veteran professionals]. And I was serious enough about theatre to know that this was what I wanted to do." He earned his Equity card doing summer stock and received a BFA with honors in 1982.
He won a scholarship to Rutgers University in 1951, but he felt he did not belong there and decided to transfer to Howard University in 1952. He later studied at Columbia and then at New School for Social Research, both without getting a degree. He joined US Air Force and reached the rank of sergeant. However, due to an anonymous letter which accused him of having communist ties, he was demoted to gardening duties and later was dishonorably discharged for violation of oath of duty. He earned his degree in 1954. He taught at many universities, including the new school for social research, San Francisco state, and Yale university. He also served as a professor of African studies at New York for ...
Now, being more knowledgeable about the many different routes nursing can take me, my aspirations have evolved. I have developed a special interest in continuing my education; I am pursuing to obtain my BSN degree. Although I volunteer regularly at the local clinic and hospital, I aim to reach people in other rural areas and collaborate with them and other healthcare institutions in an effort to improve their access to health care. It is my intention to partake a more active role in my local young professionals group by collaborating with my team in planning and organizing events. These are the short-term goals I hope to achieve within a
...forming bench research at Barry University and Weill Cornell Medical College in the Traveler’s Research Fellowship, I have been exposed to the side of medicine where scientists work every day to find cures for diseases and save lives. Experiencing different aspects of medicine has made me a more competent individual to thrive in this field and has deepened my interest and passion to pursue medicine as a career.I believe that those who fight with so little against so much truly need others to help them in their struggle. Being a physician is not only becoming a successful professional. I will work hard to bring about necessary changes to end social disparities, so that more groups in society receive the best healthcare. By making a difference in their lives, I will receive rewarding experiences that are worth all the hard work and sacrifice my chosen career requires.
Becoming more involved with my community has helped me persevere through my unexpected hardships and regain my focus, which in turn has molded me into a better human being and future physician. As I explored ways to become a better activist, I have volunteered more in my community. My experience with the Boys and Girls club has allowed me to interact with young children of low socioeconomic status like I once was. The time spent volunteering has further spurred my interest towards those that are consistently underrepresented and underserved. These opportunities have cultivated an impeccable drive towards becoming a physician that cares and understands where people are coming from with economical and emotional insecurities. This experience has served as an additional spark that ignited the flame within me to pursue a career as a
On October 12th 2016, I had the wonderful opportunity to tour Richmond General Hospital as part of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Langara College. My clinical educator and group of eight peers were introduced to the many different disciplines associated with health care. The goal of this experience was to orientate nursing students to their future line of work. During this tour, we were introduced to various diagnostic-imaging techniques like X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In addition, we got to explore the hospital pharmacy and learned how it operates. The group ended the tour by meeting with a staff member of the Richmond Hospital Foundation, who educated us on the value of generosity and fundraising in order to purchase essential medical equipment, improve patient care programs, and enhance the facility as a whole. This experience was educational and inspiring for me because it allowed me to critically think, as well as appreciate the teamwork that goes on in a hospital setting.
My motivation to pursue this field is the overwhelming need to inform medically underserved communities of the proactive steps they must take
Jeff attended Miami Palmetto high school and was valedictorian of his class. He went to Princeton and planned to study physics. He believed, however, that other physics students were much smarter than him. Therefore, he studied electrical engineering and computer science. He graduated summa cum laude in 1986 with a GPA of 4.3 on a 4.0 scale.
I aspire to have a positive impact by sharing my medicine experience and bicultural background to the student body. I look forward to studying and research at UC
This was an existential experience that brought joy to children’s lives while receiving chemotherapy, as well as gave the parents some free time. Even though this experience greatly benefits the children fighting cancer, their sibling and parents, I can safely say that the children I met at Sunrise Day Camp and Long Island Jewish Cohens Children’s Hospital inspired me and continue to be my role models. In addition, through my experience volunteering for three years with Sunrise Association, I realized that I am benevolent and sensitive toward children and adolescents who are given a life that they do not deserve. I know that the characteristics I possess have confirmed that I am capable of fulfilling my dream and goals in the future. These many experiences opened my eyes to a whole new perspective on life and ignited my interest in the field of
In the long run, I’m confident in my ability to usher a new era of modern and affordable medical career in West African communities still dependent on traditional methods. I would be naïve to ignore the financial burden such a campaign might carry—however, I believe my life experiences have shaped me to better handle future adversities. As the son of a cab driver and nursing assistant, I want to do my family proud and also render my services to the underserved. Aside from my faith, it is the greatest joy I can ever have—except I discover a cure for cancer of course!
