			<description><![CDATA[opinions/suggestions needed for this Personal statement<br />
although a bit long around 4200 characters not sure if I should shorten it or let it be.<br />
<br />
My genuine interest for caring for others and the desire  to make a difference in somebody’s life has always been a part of me.  I am the eldest of five siblings, one brother and three sisters, ranging from 26 to the youngest of 14.  I have always had a personal goal to teach and guide them to the best of my ability.  Being the oldest of the family has given me a perspective of how important it is to care and be cared for by others.  <br />
<br />
I have actively been involved and volunteered in fundraising events and awareness groups for the last 5 years.  This includes raising funds for the poor in El Salvador through the FMLN, raising awareness of Latin American countries and involvement  in events such as fundraisers  for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.<br />
<br />
In 2004 I decided to get into the healthcare career.  Completed the Resident Care Assistance program and graduated at the top of the class with an academic score of 91%.  During the program practices I briefly worked in home care, retirement homes and hospices which included working with the sick, elderly and people with disabilities.  <br />
Working in many different settings has helped me understand different sectors in the healthcare profession and showed  me different environment conditions.  I have seen that no matter where you go it is always a different setting and different people, requiring the ability to adapt and to always build new relationships quickly while building  on it when possible in order to provide the best care.<br />
<br />
After graduation I worked in a retirement home for 2 years working all available shifts.  For most of my time there I worked overnight, which included assisting residents to bed, getting them up in the morning and assisting  in their personal care and needs throughout the night.  Working at night has taught me that people are always in need of help and that you always need to be ready for the unexpected and be able to act quickly on every situation.  This also improved my decision making skills as well as judgment calls.<br />
<br />
Some of my experiences have been with the mentally ill.  The challenges imposed for this type of care has improved my ability to relate to different situations.  This type of care has also improved my ability and understanding for empathy as well as the patience needed to truly understand what others are thinking in order to achieve the best care possible.<br />
Caring for the elderly, mentally ill and disabled has taught me the importance of building  trust in a relationship between a resident and the person that cares for them in order to provide the best care available.  Working in this environment has developed my interpersonal skills, a true understanding of holistic care, and the importance of quality of life.<br />
<br />
In a short time at the retirement home I acquired a medication certificate, a lead care manager position and built many strong relationships  among the residents.  I have distributed medication, monitored, and  done assessments of residents so that I could report and  discuss with lead managers, LPN’s and Nurses.<br />
<br />
During my work in the healthcare field I have learned that in order to take care of others, you also need to take care of yourself.  During my free time the best way for me to relax is listening or playing music.  I enjoy playing the guitar because  it is very satisfying, it takes all my concentration and it quickly relaxes me. Spending  time with  my family also does this because it is enjoyable and gives me the opportunity to practice my native tongue, Spanish.  <br />
<br />
Working in healthcare  has helped me develop many skills that are required for the nursing profession, especially at the personal and caring level.  The work experience from being a Resident Care Assistant has ensured me that the path I want to continue, is in a career of nursing.<br />
I truly enjoy working with people as well as caring for them, which is one of the reasons I have decided on this career path.  <br />
<br />
It is essential to have a realistic understanding of what being a nurse requires and I believe I have a firm grasp and understanding of this.  Nursing is a demanding profession: physically, mentally and spiritually.  For me, a Nursing career is for life and it influences the way we act and think.  I am confident that I have the skills, dedication, caring personality that this career demands and ready to live the way of life that this profession requires in order to achieve the best care possible.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi, I was hoping that somebody would be able to help me, basically, I've been lucky enough to get 4 offers (still waiting on one) to study English Literature but I really can't decide where to go! I've been offered 3A's from Exeter, Cardiff and York and AAB for Birmingham. I'm still waiting on Durham but I've pretty much decided I don't want to go there. My insurance choice is decided for me, so thats fine, but I really can't decide on my first choice!<br />
<br />
I've been back to each of them on post offer open days and from that ruled out York, so its down to Cardiff and Exeter. I think course wise, Exeter is the better choice, but I'm really really worried that I'll get bored there, I've heard theres not much to do and it is really small... I come from Cambridge so I'm used to the small city thing and I'm not sure whether I want to go to another! The main problem is the fact that Cardiff is prefect for that! I'm half welsh and my sister is already there so I know that student life there is amazing and I love Cardiff, but I don't know whether I'd be doing myself a disservice by going there course wise...<br />
<br />
Also, I really want to go into journalism or publishing of some sort, possibly to do with fashion, so I'm interested in the creative writing aspect of both degrees and the idea of being able to do a module from journalism and media at Cardiff in year one, which I can't do at Exeter.<br />
<br />
I think thats about everything, so any wisdom on the courses at both, career prospects and student life in particular would really REALLY help!<br />

Probably because of my father's profession (he is Head of the Regional Criminal Police), I have always been intrigued by Criminology and the idea of analyzing and solving tangled cases. To be a Private Investigator was one of my dreams for a long time. On the other hand, I am completely aware that the world of criminology is full of risks, sleepless nights and health hazards. That is the reason why I see Business Law not only as a chance for prosperity, but also of a life devoid of fears and restlessness. I am confident that the combination of business and legal studies would enable me to show the best of my intellectual capacity and prosper in a competitive commercial environment. Having obtained a degree in Business Law, I will be able to enjoy a successful career in any of the following spheres: banking and finance, accountancy, local and central government, business and commerce, the police and prison services etc.<br />
In primary school, Mathematics, Literature and English were always my favourites. Analytical thinking and problem-solving kept me active and entertained. Later, at high school, Informatics was my core subject, while my undoubted favorites were Philosophy, Ethics and Law and Psychology. Thus, along with my Mathematics classes (over 200 per year) and Informatics, my interest in reading Law at university grew significantly. Last year, my Geography teacher announced that 25 high school students will have the opportunity to go to Strasbourg, visit the European Parliament and take part in the Euroscola project. Being interested in the European institutions, I promised myself to be one of those who get to be there. To achieve that, I had to take exams in English and European integration. Not only did I take them, but I ranked 5th among the best 25 students (and 1st of all girls). Winning that competition gave me more than just a visit at the European Parliament: I improved my social and teamwork skills, presented in front of a big audience and enhanced my enthusiasm to work in the sphere of Law. Now, I am hoping to win a competition which will allow me to visit the Science Parliament in Aachen in March 2010.<br />
Thanks to my participation in the international Comenius Project "From Sky To Tap" I enjoyed an unforgettable trip to Sicily and developed my communication skills significantly. Later on I took an apprenticeship at the City Hall, and for a week I acted as a personal interpreter to councilors from Liverpool and Indonesia. <br />
A number of extracurricular activities have helped me develop important skills: I can proudly say that my 7-year, successfully accomplished piano education, contributed greatly to the development of my auditory memory and helped me improve my confidence in front of a big audience. My long standing tennis practice is the basis of my competitive spirit. Sport taught me concentration and determination to win. I hope to continue with my favourite sport, thus keeping fit and healthy, doing something I enjoy and competing for my university. <br />
I choose the UK as my study destination because British universities are renowned for their well-balanced academic programmes which offer opportunities for professional development through teamwork and participation in research projects. I will have the chance to prove that I am capable of understanding and mastering complex information and learn to express myself and write with the proper confidence in English. Working hard on my assignments and meeting deadlines will prepare me for the real world of Business. A degree course at a British university will allow me to live for a few years in a country of rich cultural traditions and will also enhance my career opportunities in the future.]]></description>

I am in the Nanotechnology Engineering program at the University of Waterloo, which is the best engineering program at the best engineering institution in Canada.<br />

I am planning to take some of my pre-med courses like Biology and Immunology at my University. Would it make a difference if my university is not that well known for undergraduate studies in sciences? Or does my MCAT score compensate for the quality of my university?]]></description>
