TCU Personal Statement

Decent Essays
My goal is to enter into TCU through the railroad mechanical worker track. I have a desire to create a career in the railroad industry. There is a high demand for skilled workers, and many young people are not pursuing this route, but instead opting to pursue college careers. I see this as a way to standout in the marketplace, and diversify my skill set allowing to be both a welder and a railroad worker giving me an even greater amount of job security as opposed to having only one trade.

I thought that they would not help pay for my college if I went anywhere else. It was not until I was in high school that I realized that Texas A&M was the only university I wanted to attend. I would like to study at Texas A&M to continue my family tradition, for the opportunities it offers after graduation and to be admitted to the dental school with a great education behind me.…

    I am a first-generation Latina student at The Ohio State University. Being from inner city Toledo, Ohio, I attended a public district where 80% of students received free or reduced lunch and the graduation rate was at an all time low of 49%.

    If I could turn my passion into a successful business it would be a small school for the arts. I think it is a good idea because there are many people who love the arts like I do and the small school would be where they go to learn more. You can love music and not know what a time signature is but, if you went to a class about music then you could learn much more. There are many students that love the arts however they are not given the opportunity to take art class, dance,music class,or drama at their schools, this would given them the chance. The way I would start my business would be to go to school for business but continue doing the arts along with working to save money.…

    I was raised by parents that placed an extremely high emphasis on learning, science and progress. I learnt to incorporate scientific thinking and the scientific method in my daily life and thought process, over time this became a natural reaction for me. This has fueled my progress and learning to significant degree along with hard work, however there has always been a component that my parents could not teach me. This component cannot be taught or instilled and one must learn to do it on his own, mainly through trail and error. Although I have been performing this task from early on, it was not until I moved to Singapore that I truly became aware of what I was doing, this was mainly due to the fact that I was finally with peers of better caliber than me.…
