1.) If you founded your own college or university, what topic of study would you make mandatory for all students to study and why? What would be the values and priorities of your institution and why?
If I founded my own college or university, I would make a freshman class on self-esteem mandatory. A class on improving confidence is crucial. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to reach their full potential if they are not confident in them self. Uncertainty will never get you far. If you don't believe in yourself, how can you expect others to believe in you?
The priorities of my institution would be to not only produce intelligent workers, but influential leaders. Making this class mandatory will help the students both in and out of school. They will gain the ability to walk into every classroom knowing that they are capable of doing well. Before every test, paper, project, or interview they will tell themselves they will do well, and with hard work, they will. Marcus Garvey once said "With confidence, you have won even before you have started." Every students will understand that a high self esteem is the key to success.
When my students have graduated and must prove to the CEO of a company or the staff of a medical school, that he or she is worthy of the position, they will speak with certainty and a humble confidence that will make them stand out from the rest of the applicants.
The motto of my school will be, "Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Have faith in your own abilities, work hard, and there is nothing you cannot accomplish."
2.What unique aspect of Lehigh most interests you?
Lehigh first caught my eye when I saw a poster of the schools University Center on the wall of my college counselors office. "Wow" I said to her "Lehigh looks great!" "Yes it is. They also have your BS/MD program. You should definitely look it up " From that moment on I was hooked.
The BS/MD program offered by Lehigh certainly enticed me to learn more about the school. It is my ultimate goal to become a medical doctor and of my long list of undergraduate schools, Lehigh is at the very top. Though the BS/MD program is a major plus, one aspect of Lehigh that interested me most was the vast amount of clubs and organizations present in the school. I have gone through the entire list and I am already excited. Two clubs that I am particularly interested in are LUAMSA and Leadership Lehigh. I am fully dedicated to becoming a doctor; however, I want to make the most out of my college experience and have an positive impact on the Lehigh community.
I had plans to visit Lehigh sometime in November but due to hurricane Sandy those plans had to be postponed; however, I have visited the galleries on the Lehigh website countless times and statements from past students have convinced me that at Lehigh I can accomplish my dream of becoming a doctor while giving back to the community and becoming a successful leader.
