Please type an essay of 2000 characters (approximately 300 words) that tells us more about you. Imagine you have graduated from Temple University. You are preparing to attend your 10-year reunion, and the alumni office has asked you to write a one-page essay about your personal and professional accomplishments since graduation. What would yours say?
Ten years ago if you asked me where I was headed, I would fumble to come up with what I thought would sound impressive. I honestly didn't know where I was heading or who I was as an individual. I was constantly trying to find my niche in society. Not only was I uncertain of what I wanted to major in, I simply felt like I had no exceptional talents in one specific area. Could I be a future doctor? No too clumsy How about a a lawyer? Not objective enough. Fortunately attending Temple University has unleashed my insecurities while molding me into a confident and well-rounded professional. I have pursued my love for teaching, interacting with young people, and assuming a leadership position as an education administrator.
Before becoming an administrator, I worked as a secondary school teacher for eight years and received the teacher of the year in all of New York State, an honor that I'm delighted to have. I went on to get my M. Ed., and I am a principal. I love being able to organize school activities, set academic requirements, and most importantly watch students embrace education as their own foundation for success. Under my new program: Success in the hands of me, Drop out rates have decreased, teen pregnancy rates have dwindled, and drug abuse has been replaced with students desires to take control of lives.
When I applied to Temple I knew I was signing a contract with my future-one that I didn't perceive to be as rewarding as it today.
