Personal Statement. The weekly visits to a center for children with autism and cerebral palsy during my first semester in college had strengthened my desire to learn more about medicine.
Since I was a kid, my mother who is a nurse always sent me to sleep with her amusing stories with her patients. Sometimes touching and at other times inspiring, her stories of how a doctor juggles between pure scientific knowledge and the softer side of humanity never ceased to astound me. I found the human body to be amusingly complex, even far surpassing the most up-to-date machine ever invented. A chance to explore this complex organism and use the knowledge to contribute to better health and well-being is simply irresistible. My interest in medicine was put to test on the day I went for an attachment at Sarawak General Hospital. Alone with a pediatrician telling a mother of her son's incurable cirrhosis, my heart was torn to watch as she tried to hide her miserable face from the mother. This had shown me two sides of the profession, a more mechanical, rigid aspects of it such as keeping the medical record true and systematic and maintaining neutral attitude towards every patient while the other side being softer and touches more intimately on the emotional and emphatic relation between one human being caring for another. Beyond doubt, keeping these two in balance is a challenge I am willing to venture in. The weekly visits to a center for children with autism and cerebral palsy during my first semester in college had strengthened my desire to learn more about medicine. I
Examine the problems some sociologists find when using postal questionnaires in their research.
Examine the problems some sociologists find when using postal questionnaires in their research. Sociologists face various problems when postal questionnaires are used in their research. These problems centre on the nature of questionnaires, which can be defined as structured documents containing questions that provide the data a sociologist requires to draw conclusions from a study. These problems can be attributed to the researcher (for example, poorly worded questions) or the answerer (dishonest/incomplete responses etc.). Postal questionnaires are typically employed by Positivists in a macro sociological investigation. Postal questionnaires usually return a lot of results. Positivists favour this means of data collection because it can be easily distributed to thousands of people. The problem of low response rates is negated by the number of questionnaires a sociologist can send out: once written, the documents can be easily delivered to a multitude of addresses, and therefore provide the researcher with a considerable amount of data. Indeed, if properly put together, they provide quantitative, representative data, enabling the sociologist to easily highlight trends or norms and, with sufficient data, draw more valid conclusions. However, poorly composed questionnaires can deter people from responding. Although simple initiatives such as free pens motivate people to

y ultimate goal is to use knowledge gained from studying in London to broaden and deepen my understanding of human culture, society, and community.
Working at restaurants and designer boutiques in an affluent U.S. city, I've witnessed racial intolerance take place in public. Often, it seems more socially acceptable to express animosity instead of acceptance when foreigners are introduced to a community. No matter the circumstance, I've always felt the need to speak up against discrimination. My ultimate goal is to use knowledge gained from studying in London to broaden and deepen my understanding of human culture, society, and community. I would love to become a social worker or psychologist who specializes in helping others feel a sense of belonging when faced with ethnocentrism. Embracing diversity and speaking out against bigotry are integral qualities in modern culture to succeed-- not only in career-- but as a human being. Through volunteering for two non-profit mentorship programs, I first realized how I would like to apply my abilities towards helping others. I took an opportunity to mentor a five-year-old child from Guatemala named Kemberly through Head Start Program. The lessons I learned while mentoring Kemberly have been indescribably valuable in understanding diversity from the perspective of a targeted minority. When we first met, Kemberly was very shy and reserved. Her initial timidity was likely a learned response from the constant cruelty and scapegoat accusations her family endured as a
Business Mathematics and Statistics Personal Statement
Economics lies at the core of both modern and ancient societies and I am keen to extend my knowledge of this interesting subject by studying economic theories at university level. To date, my experience of the subject has been through my GCSE, AS and current A2 level studies and, although I am aware that the subject will be very different at University, I am convinced that this is the subject area for me and ultimately one I would like to follow as a career. A financially based subject is of particular interest to me because of the fundamental relevance it has to everything in the modern world, from the performance of the corner shop to the efficient operation of the largest multi-national companies. Trade and financial transactions underpin all societies and it is for this reason that I would like to study in this field at University. I am particularly interested in Mathematics, which comprises half of my A Level subject matter. Although my UCAS form only shows three subjects at AS level I have completed seven modules of Mathematics at AS level and, by summer, will have completed twelve modules, or two full A2 grades. Although I have not studied econometrics, given my interest in mathematics I am looking forward to studying this aspect of the subject. In my opinion mathematics is key to everyday life and the knowledge and application of it is fundamental to all economic
Medicine Statement. I fully comprehend that Medicine is not an easy route to pursue. However, the skills that I have developed through my experiences contribute towards my belief that, not only do I have the determination to succeed at medical school, but
Illness affects us all at some point during our lives. From birth to death, the study of Medicine contributes towards improving the quality of life and the ability of the human body to overcome these illnesses, allowing us to live longer and die more comfortably. Should I be given the opportunity to do so, studying Medicine will enable me to pursue a career which dedicates itself towards caring for others. This is something I feel incredibly passionate about. I have been fortunate enough to contextualise the knowledge that I have gained during my A-Levels through several work experience placements which I organised independently. Having learnt about the complexities of the human body in Biology, I spent two weeks at the London Chest Hospital, shadowing a cardiothoracic consultant. There, I observed open heart surgery and the remarkable progress made in technology through a TAAVI procedure. This, alongside my two weeks shadowing a consultant urologist, allowed me to build bridges between my A-Level Physics course and medical equipment. An example of this is the development of Cell Savers, which clean lost blood during surgery, using the principle of sedimentation. This analytical skill is fundamental to a doctor's success because, in most situations, it is not a case of recalling what one has studied during medical school, but being able to apply it practically as each patient
Personal Statement Example - Neurosurgery
From a very early age, my aspiration has been to work in the neurosurgery department. I feel that this is an ideal career for me because I have travelled to various countries on family holidays; from experiences abroad, I have seen how I can make a good contribution to this area of work and further research about various diseases and illnesses related to the brain. I am hard-working, committed to my goals and want to help others for the better. I am also confident that my choice of A- and AS-levels, Biology, Chemistry, Psychology and Business Studies, will provide me with the solid foundation needed to proceed to undergraduate level. The practical side of biology and chemistry will enable me to gain good laboratory skills and I am eager to acquire more developed and sophisticated techniques at university. Psychology will improve my written communication skills, which I believe to be important for any subject at university. Business Studies will allow me to gain knowledge of managing finance. Throughout my life I have always been committed to my work and always had a long-term goal and interest in learning about the brain and becoming a neurosurgeon; I have a lot of influences since many of my family members have become doctors and surgeons and have become my role models to achieve my goal. Since primary school, I had seen myself helping and changing lives of others in the

Cellphones and Car accidents
Munteanu Daniel Munteanu English 101 Cell phones and Car Accidents 24 October, 2010 Cell phones and Car Accidents Over the years, cell phones have gotten more and more of our attention. They have become smarter, quicker, and fancier and this is exactly what the consumers are interested in. There aren’t any requirements to own one; all it takes is little thinking. Some already replaced the function of a laptop while others are still primitive. Along with the cell phones going through the evolution process and new ones getting out every day, they also grabbed the attention of drivers. Drivers spend lots of their driving time on the cell phone and this is a really big safety concern. Young drivers and old drivers, all face the same problem. More and more crashes occur due to cell phone usage, and drivers are the ones to blame. The law enforcement team is trying hard to fight this problem, but sometimes even they are involved in car accident. Due to the attention these devices require to operate, cell phones cause most of the driving accidents. Drivers should not use their cell phones while driving and only concentrate on the road. When the cell phones were introduced in the world for the first time, it was a milestone. Even though they were bulky, it was enough to grab the attention of the whole world. At first it was difficult to own one due to the cost, but as time
