individual has a unique gift and passion to give to the world.” What I love about PFO is the enthusiasm, tenacity and deliberate action to reach teens of all walks of life to recognize who they are and how to give of that! Before getting involved with PFO, I had just begun to dig a little deeper in my own personal life to ask these same questions. Since August 2009, I began to devote my spare time to learning music theory and began to play piano by ear. I felt like that was my unique gift, and that the
break out of my comfort zone. I want to major in Architecture due to building houses has always been an extensive passion of mine. My extracurricular activities reflect how I want to have a career that causes me to be lively and a career that prepares me to grow as a person every day. One of the organizations that I participate in extensively is the band. I hold the role of drum major of my high school band. If you would have told me freshman year that I was going to be the drum major of my high school
sidelines, shaking my pom-poms, and jumping up and down. Neither my grandparents nor my parents missed a chance to witness my twin brother score countless touchdowns or to watch me cheer him on. At the age of 10, screaming and shouting in the damp grass of a football field, I did not realize that these very important figures would go on to dramatically impact my life and make me who I am today. From early on, sports and other outdoor activities were a large part of my life. Being a twin, my brother and
Below are some of his quotes (in bold): "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you
I left behind my first footprint when I discovered the initial glimpse of my culture, an intrinsic part of who I am. Ecstatic with a cheeky grin, eager to start my first dance lesson, I clumsily stomped on the studio's laminated floor, as the dust collected on my sole left behind shabby imprints. As the years passed, I would leave many more footprints in theaters during my annual performances, in temples as I immersed myself in my heritage and spiritual awakening, and in my own heart, as I fell in
For as long as I can remember, I have always had a strong passion for fashion. Since I was the age of three, one of my favorite activities was to play dress up. I could play dress up for hours upon hours, and having play dates with my neighbors. I would create a fashion show for my parents, and have my friends strut down the catwalk to model my outfits that I had put together. Being able to put outfits together and getting the choice to selfdress myself was a privilege I truly valued. To me fashion
sense change in me. Each passing year bring me more difficulty in pinpointing my personality. Sometimes I feel as if a galaxy swirls inside my mind and heart, and that I know only the visible of it and cannot define myself completely. However as a human, definitions do constrain me, and even though I mature every day, I have succeeded in understanding at least several traits God has created within me. Through my many passions, I believe God has given me compassion and creativity to change the world for
towards it all I can do is feel passion. I was 18 when I had my sons; twin boys. I honestly thought I was going to be another statistic. I thought there was no hope for me and my dreams were done. I was clueless, scared, and at times worried. I never had to care for someone other than myself so this was all brand new. I'm the type of person where I literally plan everything out. I lived by a schedule and had a strict way of doing my
dietitian has been my passion for as long as I knew about the profession. It is a mix of passion, perseverance and life experiences that have guided me in this direction. This personal statement will discuss why I want to be a dietitian, life experiences, short-term and long-term goals, and strengths and weaknesses. Growing up, food has always interested me. When I was little, instead of wanting to be an astronaut or a vet, I wanted to be a chef with my own restaurant. I would play with my grandmother’s
I was raised up believing in the importance of service and community as I saw my family members and neighbors selflessly help and be in community with people in need. It is therefore no surprise that I discovered my passion for service and volunteerism while still young. In my hometown Nairobi, Kenya, I did community service through various ways, including my involvement in the charity walk for Street Children and Orphans in Kenya in 2003 and the 2007 Brookside Freedom from Hunger Campaign. I participated
