As</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">much as I love APO, this semester I would not be able to give all my time to it. I am in my last semester of college,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">and I am taking my two nursing classes, N450 and N460. I also have clinical for 8 hours a day on Tuesday and</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Thursday. I am also doing an internship for nursing which requires me to have 160 hours of clinical experience. I</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">also am working at the OSF hospital in Peoria, and I work there on the weekends. As much as I would love to be in</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">APO, I feel as if I would not be able to dedicate all the time necessary to the chapter this semester. Thanks!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Jordan Hartness</span></div></div><div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Associate Letters</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Dear APO:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">I have been an active member of APO since my sophomore year and have enjoyed it immensely. In</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">my last semester of undergrad as a nursing major, I am taking two 300 and two 400 level classes: Human Sexuality,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Management and Leadership, Public Health Nursing and an Internship. I have clinicals lasting 8 hours on Tuesdays</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">and Thursdays with a commute, on top of completing 120 hours of clinical for my internship. I have many research</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">papers and projects to complete for all four classes. I also work as a patient care technician at Bromenn Hospital,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">and sell for Shirk Center Concessions at select events. I wish I had time to continue being active in APO this</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">semester, but with my schedule I cannot. Please consider my request to go associate.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Thank you,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Megan DeLong</span></div></div><div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Associate Letters</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Dorthy Kulikowska</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">I would like to go associate this semester because I have a full class load this semester which includes</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Physics, Biostatistics, Chordate Comparative Anatomy and Behavioral Neuroscience. I also have 10 hours</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">of lab during the week and 10 hours of a work study position. I also am a TA for General Biology on</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Wednesday nights. I am also in an a Capella group that rehearses 4+ hours a week with extra rehearsals</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">expected because we are preparing for the ICCA competition. Im not going to be able to make it to</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Tuesday night meetings because of Lab.</span></div></div><div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Associate Letters</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Hello fellow brothers,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">I honestly wish I didn’t have to go associate and I have been struggling with this idea for the past couple of weeks.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">But, I know that I will not be able to be as fully involved as I have been in past semesters because of my busy</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">schedule. I am taking all upper level Biology courses this semester including Biochemistry (417), which is probably</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">the most difficult biology course you can take. I am also doing research with Dr. Bollivar this semester which</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">requires me to be in the lab 8 hours a week. I also TA for the Plant anatomy lab sections which is another 8 hours</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">of lab time a week. I also have an internship with the Ecology Action Center which is a 15 hour a week job and a</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">weekend job officiating the Track meets on campus. I also have physics lab on Tuesday nights during the APO</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">meetings. I hope to take the GRE by the end of this semester as well so I will be studying for that in my free time.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Thank you for being understanding .</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Jennifer Chlebek</span></div></div><div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Associate Letters</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Good evening,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">I am seeking Associate Status due to my incredibly difficult semester. Currently, I am in several 300- and 400-level</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Physics and Math courses. I hold four jobs on campus. I am the full time student manager at Information</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Technology, I am the TA for Engineering Design and Mathematical Methods, I tutor for the Physics department,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">and currently serve as the Lab Equipment Manager. These jobs, alone, take over 20 hours out of each week.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Beyond these, I am on two research teams, both which meet at least 5 to 10 hours each week. Lastly, I am applying</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">to internships, scholarships, graduate schools, and am taking the Physics and General GRE this April. Studying for</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">those tests should ideally take 2 hours each night the four months leading up to the exams. In order to properly</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">prepare for my future and exceed as a student the best I can, I hope to take Associate Status for this Spring.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Though I love APO and my involvement, I just cannot truly put my heart into my volunteer hours this semester.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Thank you for your consideration,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Hayley Roberts</span></div></div><div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Associate Letters</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Dearest brothers,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">I sadly need to go associate for this semester. I’m already drowning in med school interviews, catching up on</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">missed class time, being in lab about 25 hours every week, and attempting to write a senior thesis. Obviously I love</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">APO and want to be as active as I can so I’ll always come to chapter and do as many events as possible, I’m just</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">worried that I won’t have enough time to finish all of the requirements this semester. I definitely would not take</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">being associate as a reason to not be involved in APO, and would do as much as I can to spend quality time with all</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">of you before I graduate!
