UC Personal Statement Version 1.0 (1st Draft)

Ok so for those of you who dont know, the University of California system requires a personal statement from all incoming students, as a part of its application process. It must be within 1,000 words and the prompts for incoming freshman are as follows.

Prompt #1

"Describe the world you come from — for example, your family, community or school — and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations."(University of California)

Prompt #2

"Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you. What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate to the person you are?"(University of California)

So here is the first draft of my personal statement. Feel free to comment.

Prompt #1

I always felt like I had a fine grasp on who I am. My family constantly attempted to treat me like an adult. My dad would bring me to along when he would hang out with his friends, who are all college graduates. Just listening to those conversations and ideas really helped me build the manner in which I carry myself today. My mom was still a typical mom; spoiling me, hugging me, kissing me, etc, but she at all times made sure I knew the rules and most of the time I followed them. My grandparents lived right down the street so they would baby-sit me a lot, and they were the same way. Basically my entire family tried to treat me like an adult, within reason of course. Despite growing up with all this around me, I still had a lot of difficulty on deciding what career I wanted to pursue. And sure everyone says that, but I don’t mean you wanted to be a firefighter when you were 5 and now you want to be a lawyer. I mean that I honestly had on clue until my sophomore year of high school.

One of my huge interests was, and to an extend still is, technology, so for a while I was considering a career in computers. Although, I enjoy meeting new people and working with people, which I felt a job in computers wouldn’t permit me to do. I also love to help people and the community; that’s what made me join and become an officer for Key Club once I got to high school. I needed a job where I could interact and talk to people. That’s how I eventually got to the idea of the medical field.

Prompt #2

Going into the medical profession was not my first intention. Up until I was about 12, there were basically no deaths in my family, but everyone was getting older, and they eventually started to pass away one by one. Over the past 3-4 years, I’ve attended about 8 funerals, all of which were for my family, whether it be my aunts, uncles, etc. It was a huge shock to me, and made me realize how life can suddenly end, and how much of an impact one person’s life can have.

The biggest loss for me was the death of my grandmother. Earlier that year, my grandfather was in the hospital, and eventually moved to a rehabilitation center. For a while it looked like he didn’t have much time left. Due to this, I had to take care of my grandmother. It was fine at first, but over time she became more dependent and difficult to deal with. My grandmother was then admitted into the hospital, one she could no longer function at home. She was then moved into the same rehabilitation center as my grandfather. Then were there together for about 3 months, but then my grandfather’s condition improved and he came back home. With him gone, my grandmother started to deteriorate. Within weeks, she went back into the hospital in severe condition. When I went to see her in the ICU at the hospital, she couldn’t talk or move; she wasn’t alert. Out family decided to just make her comfortable and let her pass away. When I went to say good-bye, I couldn’t handle it. I broke down and cried. She didn’t pass away for a week or so after we took all the machines off, and my relatives that went to see her said that she wanted to see me, but I need went back to the hospital; I couldn’t handle it.

Once she was gone, and the funeral was done, I had a lot of guilt in not going to see her. That summer, a friend and I decided to volunteer at a hospital for community service. We ended up at the same hospital where my grandmother passed away. For a while, I never wanted to go up to the ICU; it brought back the guilt that I felt. Then I realized that I needed to face it sometime, and this is a great opportunity. I asked to be stationed in the ICU. It was hard at first; a lot of memories came up every time I was in there. Eventually, I started to enjoy thinking about my grandmother, and I felt that by helping these patients, I could help make up for not being strong enough for my grandmother by giving strength to these people who need it the most. I enjoyed giving my all to help save lives, and it made me realize that I had a passion for the medical field. It’s a passion that has pushed me to keep volunteering in various hospitals, to do a paid internship at Kaiser Permanente, and to compete and excel at both State and Nation Conferences for the high school organization H.O.S.A. (Health Occupations Students of America). The internship and the trips of H.O.S.A gave me so many great memories that I know I’m never going to forget and gave me so much experience, not only for going into medicine but for life in general. It’s a cliché statement I know, but true.

Its funny how something so negative and devastating can help focus and clear things up. The medical field was always an option, but it was always toward the bad of my mind, never something I really considered. In my mind, I feel that the medical field provides me with the most direct way to help the maximum amount of people as I can. Sure I could plant a tree or clean a park, that would help people, but if I can save lives, then those people can go plant a tree or clean a park. After being around so many medical facilities; meeting doctors, nurses, patients, families, etc.; and after seeing so much pain and suffering, it makes me want to learn as much as I can and work to the best of my ability to go into the medical field as prepared as possible, so I can make a difference and help better lives.

He is the son of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning and the older brother of current New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning. Manning holds NFL records for consecutive seasons with over 4,000 yards passing and the most total seasons with 4,000 or more yards passing in a career.

He has the vision of a Marshall Faulk, the power of an Earl Campbell, and the speed of an Eric Dickerson. He has also been compared to Walter Payton and Tony Dorsett. Prior to the start of 2009 season, analysts of both NFL Network and ESPN unanimously named Peterson the best running back in the NFL today.
	WR Randy Gene Moss 6'4" 210lbs. Randy Moss has cemented himself as one of the most dominant receivers in the league and maybe in NFL History.

On April 29, 2007, Moss was traded to the New England Patriots for a fourth-round draft pick. At the end of his rookie season, Moss was named a Pro Bowl starter and NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year for his rookie-record 17 touchdown receptions and the third highest receiving yardage (1,313) total.

	WR Calvin Johnson Jr. 6'5" 239lbs. Calvin Johnson was drafted by the Lions second overall in the 2007 NFL Draft, out of Georgia Tech. He was regarded as the best athlete to come out of the draft and was the #1 player on most draft boards. Johnson was said by ESPN to be able to be productive as a rookie, much like receiver Randy Moss was as a rookie. In a mid-February workout with speed and conditioning coach Tom Shaw, Johnson clocked a remarkable 4.33 second 40-yard dash, 10.23 second 100-meter sprint, recorded an 11-foot standing broad jump, and had a vertical leap of 43 inches. Due to injuries, Johnson finished the 2007 season with 756 yards and 5 total touchdowns. In 2008, despite the Lions' failures, Johnson finished as one of the strongest wide receivers, statistically, for the season, finishing 5th in receiving yards (1,331), 7th in receiving yards per game (83.2), and leading the league in receiving touchdowns (12). However, Johnson missed the Pro Bowl with most experts attributing the "snub" to the Lions dismal winless season. Johnson has a rare combination of size (6 ft. 5 in., 239 lb/ 196 cm, 108 kg), speed (4.35 sec 40-yard dash), strength, leaping ability (more than 45" (114 cm) vertical jump), body control and hand-eye coordination. It is often mentioned that he is also very humble and well-mannered, and did well academically at Georgia Tech.
	TE Jason Christopher Witten 6'5" 262lbs. Jason Witten is a Pro Bowl tight end from the Dallas Cowboys. He has a great feel for coverages, where the soft spots are in the secondary, how to get some separation for himself. He is dependable and solid. Witten has deceptively good speed to beat the safety or strong-side linebacker up the seam. And he is capable of controlling the area between the hashes
	TE Antonio D. Gates 6'4" 263lbs. Since 2004, only Marvin Harrison, Randy Moss, and Terrell Owens have caught more touchdowns than Antonio Gates.After being told by scouts that he was too much of a “tweener” (6′4″) to make the NBA, Gates arranged a workout in front of NFL scouts. As many as 19 teams were believed to have contacted Gates about a try out. Gates chose to work out first for the San Diego Chargers. Recognizing his enormous potential, the Chargers immediately signed him to a contract as an undrafted free agent. Gates uses his size to perfection, boxing out for jump balls, like he would for a rebound in basketball. He has great hands, good speed. His above average vision makes him a big threat for yards after the catch. He is one of the best red zone weapons in the NFL.

McNeill was voted a first alternate to the 2007 Pro Bowl and made the team after an injury to starter Willie Anderson. Commentator Len Pasquarelli of ESPN.com referred to him late in the 2006 season as "one of the elite left tackles" in the NFL. A rookie starter at left tackle for the entire season, McNeill was a crucial component of the offensive line that blocked for running back LaDainian Tomlinson as he established a number of single season offensive records. The majority of Tomlinson's long gains came from running behind the left side of the offensive line, behind McNeill and guard Kris Dielman. McNeill was not called for a holding penalty in the 2006 season. McNeill finished 4th in voting for the 2007 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, a remarkable finish for an offensive lineman.

His agility and quick acceleration combined with his low center of mass made him very difficult to bring down. Sanders was a 10 time pro bowler, and a 6 time all pro. Many people believe that if he had not retired so early in his career, Sanders would have broken the all time rushing record. He was inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2004
	FB Larry Richard Csonka 6'3" 237lbs. Larry Csonka was one of the biggest running backs of his day and pounded through the middle of the field with relative ease, often dragging tacklers 5–10 yards.

Throughout the early 1970s he developed into arguably the most dominant defensive lineman in the NFL. He is considered by many to be one of the best defensive linemen to ever play the game and was the cornerstone of the famous “Steel Curtain” defense. He is also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and a four-time Super Bowl champion. He was strong, quick and intense. He was the NFL's rookie of the year in 1969, even though he played on a poor Steelers team that went 1-13 and had a long standing reputation of being a doormat for other NFL teams. In his early years with the Steelers, Greene was at times uncontrollable and often let his temper get the best of him. He was twice recognized as the NFL defensive player of the year in 1972 and 1974. He was a 10 time pro bowler and was a 5 Time First Team All Pro
	DE Bruce Bernard Smith 6'4" 265lbs.

In 2006, Smith was voted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
	OLB Lawrence Julius Taylor 6'3" 241lbs. Lawrence Taylor is considered to be one of the greatest defensive players in the history of football, and has been called the greatest defensive player of all time by members of the media, former players, and coaches. Taylor won several defensive awards after his rookie season. Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Taylor was a disruptive force at outside linebacker, and is widely considered to have changed the pass rushing schemes, offensive line play, and offensive formations used in the NFL. Taylor produced double-digit sacks each season from 1984 through 1990, including a career high of 20.5 in 1986. He also won a record three Defensive Player of the Year awards and was named the league's MVP for his performance during the 1986 season. He was named first-team All-Pro in each of his first nine seasons and was a key member of the Giants' defense, nicknamed "The Big Blue Wrecking Crew". Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs developed the two tight end offense and the position of h-back to prevent Taylor from blitzing into the backfield unhindered. His skills at outside linebacker forced other coaches to retool their offensive schemes to manage his impact. In the late '70s and early '80s, a blitzing linebacker was almost always picked up by a running back. However, these players were usually no match for Taylor. The tactic employed by Bill Walsh in the 1982 playoffs, namely of employing an offensive guard to block Taylor, began to be copied around the league. This move, however, left a hole in the offensive protection that a middle linebacker could exploit. Later, Walsh and other coaches began using offensive left tackles to block Taylor. Although Taylor made adjustments to his game to remain dominant, it soon became common in the NFL for offensive linemen to pick up blitzing linebackers, such as Taylor. In addition to the changes in offensive schemes Taylor influenced, he also introduced new defensive techniques to the game such as chopping the ball out of the quarterback's hands rather than tackling him.
	MLB Jack Harold Lambert 6'4" 220lbs. Jack Lambert won four Super Bowls in his 11 year career with the Pittsburgh Steelers and is recognized as one of the best middle linebackers in the history of the NFL. Selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round of the 1974 NFL Draft, many pro football coaches and scouts thought Lambert was too small to play linebacker in the NFL. While most of his pro career he was reported to be 6'4" and 220 pounds, he measured 6'4½" and 204 pounds as a rookie. However, he displayed strength at warding off blockers, quick feet, and extreme tenacity. These traits, coupled with intellect and ability to read offenses led to his quick ascension with the Steelers.Lambert went on to earn the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award as a central figure on a great Steeler defense. Lambert was known for the intensity with which he played. Lambert prided himself on his ability to hit hard and intimidate the opposition. By the time of his retirement, he was widely recognized as one of the great middle-linebackers in the history of the game. He was the Steelers starting middle linebacker, for eleven seasons; and according to Steelers media guides averaged 146 tackles per season through his 10th year. He recorded only 19 in his 11th and final season because of the injury suffered to his toe.
	MLB Ray Anthony Lewis 6'1" 250lbs. He has played for the Baltimore Ravens of the NFL since 1996. Lewis has been selected to ten Pro Bowls and been named an Associated Press All-Pro eight times.

Throughout his career Lewis has built a reputation as a leader and intimidating force at middle linebacker. He has led his team in tackles in nine of his eleven seasons. His defenses are consistently ranked among the best during his stint. Today he is considered one of the most dominant linebackers in the history of the NFL. He is considered a first ballot hall of famer
	OLB Jack Raphael Ham Jr. 6'1" 225lbs. He is considered one of the greatest outside linebackers in the history of the NFL. He won the starting left linebacker job as a rookie. He was First-team All-Pro six years and was named to eight straight Pro Bowls. He was named the greatest outside linebacker of all time by a consortium of professional sports writers, beating Lawrence Taylor for this honor. Rick Korch again raised this question in his book "The Truly Great, The 200 Best Football Players Of All Time", published in 1993. Korch gave the nod to Lawrence Taylor but by the narrowest of margins. Jack Ham was blessed with tremendous quickness, according to Steeler's coach Chuck Noll and teammate Andy Russell he was the "fastest Steeler for the first ten yards, including wide receivers and running backs", this was on a team which included John Stallworth, Lynn Swann and Frank Lewis. He was one of the few outside linebackers who could play pass defense as well as the NFL's top safeties. Although he was a ferocious hitter, he was known as a player who couldn't be fooled and was seldom out of position. Maxie Baughan, the great former NFL linebacker said of Ham, "He was one of the more intelligent players to ever play that position. He was able to diagnose plays. You couldn't ever fool him."

In Major League Baseball, he played for the New York Yankees, the Atlanta Braves, the Cincinnati Reds and the San Francisco Giants. Sanders was a perennial All-Pro and one of the most feared pass defenders to ever play the game. While critics argued that his tackling was poor and he was not much of a factor in run support, they could not deny his closing speed. Deion was know for his speed. He was known for high steeping on his way to the endzone, while tacklers still had an angle on him. His 40-yard dash time was unoffically recorded at 4.20. During his career, Sanders intercepted 52 passes for 1,331 yards (a 25.1 yards per return average), recovered four fumbles for 15 yards, returned 155 kickoffs for 3,523 yards, gained 2,199 yards on 212 punt returns, and caught 60 passes for 784 yards.

All Time NBA Team vs All NBA Team

Ok, so the last few weeks I've posted up my idea of an All Time NBA Team with legendary NBA players, and a All NBA Team with current players. Now what if these two teams played a game? Lets break it down position by position. First, Point Guard. Magic Johnson would be too big for Chris Paul too handle. Chris Paul might be able to use some quickness, but I think Magic's size is too much for Paul to handle. Advantage: Magic Johnson. Next, Shooting Guard. This is by far the closest match-up. Even though Kobe doesn't like to be compared to Michael Jordan, the fact is that they are very similar. Both are unbelievable offensive players, and both play great defense. They are complete players, and I think that this match-up is too close to call. Advantage: Even Lets look at small forward. This is also a close match-up, but Larry Birds shooting is the deciding factor. LeBron's shooting problems have been well documented. Bird's defense can stop, or at least slow down Lebron's inside game, and I don't think Lebron can stop Bird. Advantage: Larry Bird Next match-up, power forward. This is a very interesting match-up. Kareem is definitely a better offensive player than Dwight Howard, but Kareem uses athleticism and quickness. Howard is athletic and strong, he can power home a dunk, and drive to the basket. I think that although Howard is a great defensive player, Kareem can still score. And even though Howard might be stronger than Kareem, his offensive game isn't good enough to score consistently on Kareem. Advantage: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Time for the centers. This is the only match-up that has actually taken place. Shaq and Duncan have played against each other 52 times, 27 regular season games and 25 playoff games. Now in those match-ups, Shaq has the advantage offensively, averaging more points per game, and rebounds per games. Defensively, Duncan has a huge advantage. Shaq has made the All Defensive Team 3 times, while Duncan has done it 11 times. Shaq has won more regular season match-ups. Duncan however has an advantage in the playoffs. Winning more match-ups and having better performances. However Shaq is far more physically gifted than Duncan, and there are more factors to this match-ups besides just these two players. With the statistics so close, and Shaq's superior athletic ability, I think Shaqq slightly wins this match-up. Advantage: Shaquille O’Neal Finally the sixth man. Julius Erving was a great player, but I feel that Dwayne Wade has an advantage here. Wade is definatly a superior shooter and defender. He should have no problem shutting down Erving, and he would be able to do a decent job on the other players on th All Time NBA Team. I doubt Erving can match-up with Kobe, Lebron, or maybe not even Paul. Advantage: Dwayne Wade

So the conclusion...the All NBA Team is just too much for the All NBA Team. I think the All Time NBA Team would win this game easily. If you disagree feel free to comment.
