Personal Statement
James Holmes
4920327
Rational people act based on incentives for self-fulfillment, including fulfilling needs of self-development and needs of feeling useful and helpful to others. I look forward to fulfilling my quest to advance my knowledge and I plan to use my critical thinking skills by studying the subject I am passionate about, neuroscience. I desire to attend graduate study at the University of Illinois, a leader and innovator in scientific research, because the university will provide opportunities to pursue my foremost passions, the science of learning, cognition and memory. I have always been fascinated by the complexities of a long lost thought seemingly arising out of nowhere into a stream of awareness. These fascinations likely stemmed from my interest in puzzles and paradoxes as an adolescent and continued through my curiosity in academic research. Making new discoveries in neuroscience is intrinsically rewarding in its own right. I have an unquenchable curiosity, a strong desire to know and explore the unknown, and a need to persist against the odds. Graduate study at the University of Illinois will provide a focus for me to perform and achieve through neuroscience research. To prepare myself for graduate study at the University of Illinois, I sought involvement in a general array of academic research. My first summer internship, at the Salk Institute of Biological Studies, was done while I was still in high school. Working in Terrence Sejnowsky's computational neurobiology lab, I had little experience in computer programming and the work was challenging to say the least. Nonetheless, I taught myself how to program in Flash and then constructed a cross-temporal calibration model. The purpose of this model was to show an illusion between cause and effect relationships. In this illusion, the mind is actually tricked into believing an action precedes the event that caused it. Completing the project and presenting my model at the end of the internship was exhilarating and I believe graduate study at the University of Illinois will provide commensurate opportunities for a satisfying neuroscience research experience. Another laboratory I worked in was within the department of chemistry at the University of California, Riverside. Having previously been exposed to a computational approach, I wanted to explore the facets of chemical analysis. Beginning by making buffer solutions, I soon advanced into more complicated techniques. These included performing high performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and ultra violet spectroscopy on a modified twelve mer dna sequence. With the end product we bombarded the dna with ultra violet rays to observe cancerous effects. Although I don't plan on curing cancer in graduate school I believe this research experience is worthwhile and relevant to my goals of contributing to neuroscience. Only with a multidisciplinary perspective to the specialized field of neuroscience can we hope to fully understand the brain. The most recent laboratory I worked in was the Flight Lab in the department of cellular biology and neuroscience. Working in this lab enabled me to distinguish structural and quantitative differences in neural systems at a lower level of functional analysis. I dissected various flight muscles of Passeriformes and then stained their motor end plates. With these stained muscles, I compared their arrangements to the stained muscles of hummingbirds, which have a unique motor end plate pattern. In the future my

goal is to analyze and study higher neural functional levels of analysis such as learning and memory. Researching learning and memory interests me because these are the very cognitive processes which enable us to acquire information and retain it. They are at the core of what distinguishes us as people. Due to the seemingly infinite vastness of indefinite knowledge we must be selective in our pursuits of knowledge. This is why I have chosen to study the primary source of all things, our own minds. Ultimately, I aspire to become a cognitive neuroscientist. I intend to continue performing research after graduate school in either academic or public sectors. My lifelong goal is to increase the efficiency of how human beings learn and remember.

Personal Statement
James Holmes
4920327
Rational people act based on incentives for self-fulfillment, including fulfilling needs of self-development and needs of feeling useful and helpful to others. I look forward to fulfilling my quest to advance my knowledge and I plan to use my critical thinking skills by studying the subject I am passionate about, neuroscience. I desire to attend graduate study at the University of Illinois, a leader and innovator in scientific research, because the university will provide opportunities to pursue my foremost passions, the science of learning, cognition and memory. I have always been fascinated by the complexities of a long lost thought seemingly arising out of nowhere into a stream of awareness. These fascinations likely stemmed from my interest in puzzles and paradoxes as an adolescent and continued through my curiosity in academic research. Making new discoveries in neuroscience is intrinsically rewarding in its own right. I have an unquenchable curiosity, a strong desire to know and explore the unknown, and a need to persist against the odds. Graduate study at the University of Illinois will provide a focus for me to perform and achieve through neuroscience research. To prepare myself for graduate study at the University of Illinois, I sought involvement in a general array of academic research. My first summer internship, at the Salk Institute of Biological Studies, was done while I was still in high school. Working in Terrence Sejnowsky's computational neurobiology lab, I had little experience in computer programming and the work was challenging to say the least. Nonetheless, I taught myself how to program in Flash and then constructed a cross-temporal calibration model. The purpose of this model was to show an illusion between cause and effect relationships. In this illusion, the mind is actually tricked into believing an action precedes the event that caused it. Completing the project and presenting my model at the end of the internship was exhilarating and I believe graduate study at the University of Illinois will provide commensurate opportunities for a satisfying neuroscience research experience. Another laboratory I worked in was within the department of chemistry at the University of California, Riverside. Having previously been exposed to a computational approach, I wanted to explore the facets of chemical analysis. Beginning by making buffer solutions, I soon advanced into more complicated techniques. These included performing high performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and ultra violet spectroscopy on a modified twelve mer dna sequence. With the end product we bombarded the dna with ultra violet rays to observe cancerous effects. Although I don't plan on curing cancer in graduate school I believe this research experience is worthwhile and relevant to my goals of contributing to neuroscience. Only with a multidisciplinary perspective to the specialized field of neuroscience can we hope to fully understand the brain. The most recent laboratory I worked in was the Flight Lab in the department of cellular biology and neuroscience. Working in this lab enabled me to distinguish structural and quantitative differences in neural systems at a lower level of functional analysis. I dissected various flight muscles of Passeriformes and then stained their motor end plates. With these stained muscles, I compared their arrangements to the stained muscles of hummingbirds, which have a unique motor end plate pattern. In the future my
Personal Statement

goal is to analyze and study higher neural functional levels of analysis such as learning and memory. Researching learning and memory interests me because these are the very cognitive processes which enable us to acquire information and retain it. They are at the core of what distinguishes us as people. Due to the seemingly infinite vastness of indefinite knowledge we must be selective in our pursuits of knowledge. This is why I have chosen to study the primary source of all things, our own minds. Ultimately, I aspire to become a cognitive neuroscientist. I intend to continue performing research after graduate school in either academic or public sectors. My lifelong goal is to increase the efficiency of how human beings learn and remember.

Recommendation Essay
October 15, 2010
Dear Graduate School Selection Committee: I am writing this letter in support of the graduate school application of Mr. James Holmes. I have known James for the past years through . The Program consists of accelerated courses and the completion of quarterly required learning contracts. Students must successfully complete a learning contract that includes a core set of Honors courses, maintaining a minimum grade point average, attending academic workshops, and completing at least 10 hours of community service and 10 hours of personal growth. The Program is rigorous and rewarding for students. James is among the top 1% of Honors students and is self-motivated, intelligent, and driven. As a neuroscience major in the Honors Program, James maintains a 3.949 cumulative grade point average and has been named to the Deans Honors and Chancellors Honors Lists for his academic excellence. He has also received recognition at the annual Honors Convocation for his scholarly endeavors. This past June, James graduated from the University with highest honors, Summa Cum Laude. James is an extraordinarily gifted student who is very dedicated to his academic pursuits. He takes an active role in his education, and brings a great amount of intellectual and emotional maturity into the classroom. He is passionate about a career in science and seeks out opportunities to learn as much as possible about his chosen field of interest, and how he can positively contribute to the world. James worked for two years as a laboratory assistant in the Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience. He engaged in biotechnology research, and he approached his research responsibilities with the same level of maturity, intellectual curiosity, and critical thinking as he has his other academic pursuits. James has a desire to contribute to the body of knowledge and understanding of neurobiology including how learning and memory function. He is eager to continue to expand his knowledge and experience in the field. James received excellent evaluations from the professors and graduate students with whom he worked and was mentored. He has received excellent training for the rigor of graduate school, and I strongly recommend him for admission. I encourage you to consider Mr. James Holmes among your top candidates and thank you for your consideration of him. If you would like more information, please contact me at or Sincerely,

Re: James Holmess application to Program
Dear Selection Committee:
I am writing this letter in support of James Holmess application to your Graduate Program. I have discussed with James his future professional goals on several occasions and I am impressed about his determination to develop his professional career in the field of neuroscience. I got to know James This class . Besides formal lectures students are required to prepare Power Point presentation of original peer-reviewed paper and participate in debates on specific topics. James did very well earning A. James is also a student in This class . It requires active participation and James excel at this. Besides his excellent performance on all exams he prepared very well designed PowerPoint presentation discussing one of the current topics in neuroscience, which required reading original scientific papers, and gave very good presentation. He also has proved to be very effective group leader working on the group project assignment. Again, he did excellent earning A. James demonstrated in both classes that he is the top student and that he has a strong drive towards neuroscience. This performance in both classes speaks to his intellectual capability and to his motivation.

Hi -- welcome to the NSO presidency! Start by reading the message from below. Just want to say, while I'm waiting to get a chance to talk with Neal about this, that I think we (the program, and esp. students) need to ponder this and maybe have a discussion about it. I don't want to announce it on the web site or anything, but at the same time there's no point in trying to hide it, or hide from it. So please think about what you think should happen, if anything. If Murphy's or someplace like that has a room where we could both have a beer and talk amongst ourselves then maybe we could announce a gathering for anyone interested.
