Personal Statement: Relay For Life

I want to start off by thanking the scholarship board for considering me for a scholarship. Secondly, I love to learn. I love the fact that there is an ocean of knowledge out there for me to learn. I love everything about opening a book for the first time and reading the preface. I love the talking to my professor and about class as well as real life situation. I love my parents for being supportive for me in pursuit for my Masters of Science. Lastly, I love being in this situation where I can write a statement for potentially getting a scholarship.

Unfortunately, my life has not been so pleasant. I started off in a junior college. While, everybody I knew mostly went to universities. Discouraged I was. However, I never for once thought

I use to meet with my professor outside the classroom. An illustration, I was in the Service Learning Project. Where I would assistant my professor in an out of class with equipment. I would wake up at 6:30 in the morning and put the equipment together before class would start. Similarly, I volunteer for Relay for Life in respect for my mom. My mom was secretly going to radiation sessions because of cancer. For that reason, I have volunteer for Relay for Life every year. In addition, I was the President of the Environment Club. The committee and I would go around campus promoting a greener environment. Moreover, when I wasn’t busy with the Service Learning and the Environment Club; I was helping torturing students in the Learning Lab. I would help student with algebra. Anytime I knew what to do in any class, I felt it was

I never dreamed of getting into a university. I was intimidated to say at lease. I guess it was the fact that it was a bigger population then Blinn College. Or, the fact that I wasn’t going to have cohesiveness with faculties and staff. Anyway, I stayed in contact with marylisa. She would tell me that school is school, and remember why I was there. Doing the same things that got me there would be enough, she said. I listen to marylisa, and started putting in the same type of effort like I did at Blinn. I joined the Society for Human Resource Management. I was the lead recruiter for SHRM. I was one of the founders in SHRM at Tech. Our committee would go around campus to recruit new recruits. As well as, attend SHRM chapter meetings with other branches outside of Lubbock to get more incite on recruiting. Fortunately, between those times was when I was doing all these activities; I met two professors, that really made an impact on my life, professor Phillip Flamm and Dr. Shannon Rinaldo. Professor Flamm who teaches Information Systems and Quantitative Sciences really helped me with my reality. I was good at test and giving speeches, but when I would talk to him during office hours he told me a statement that I will never forget. Professor Flamm told me “when you talk, do not say, you know what I’m saying, when you say something”. Some people would have to that to heart,
