Admissions Essay To Attend Georgetown University

Of the many reasons a Jesuit education appeals to me, the most predominant reason is rooted in my belief that an education based on character formation and living meaningfully will guide my intellectual and personal growth during college. Throughout my life, many experiences that I have endured have shaped my character and constructed my personal goals and academic interests for my potential attendance at Boston College.

In the words of civil rights great Mahatma Gandhi, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” Receiving an education, in my opinion, is the foremost responsibility of every individual who walks this Earth. Education, however, has different meanings for different people. In some cultures, an education may include learning agrarian or farming techniques. In many other cultures, an education consists of attending primary school, secondary school and later attending college. No matter how the concept of education is prescribed in a given society, this fact remains true: everyone desires to have learned more when they leave this world than they did when they came in. Personally, I desire to receive a college education because I believe that by receiving such an

Trying to decide what to do for the rest of my life is a hassle. I have to consider what I do well, what I enjoy, and how much income I would like to make. No one wants to wake up every morning hating their lives because they have to work long hours doing something they do not enjoy just to earn an income. The more a person loves their job, the better they will be at it and the more they will be willing to go to work. After spending many years being indecisive about my future, I have finally committed to pursue a career in speech pathology at Nicholls State University.

of reference, I realized I needed fraternity. I realized I needed camaraderie. I realized I needed to be a Whiffenpoof.

Driving to Starbucks in Arvada and the weather was calm, cool and collective. It became the most interesting, graceful and intense summer that year. It was summer of 2012 and I sat across my bible study leader surrounded by coffee at Starbucks as she told me to grip the coffee cup. She used it as an analogy as accepting Christ in my life. As I took the coffee cup and accepted Christ as my savior, my life has forever changed and the blessings have been flowing into my life that only GOD can give. I have chosen Colorado Christian University as my choice of college to finish out my bachelor’s degree because I have a strong ambition to chase after a relationship with Jesus. I want to use my spiritual gifts I have been given to spread the love of Jesus

Coming from a family that supports and pushes you to do your best, has been the best encouragement in life. When I had started Kindergarten ten years ago, I was like any other child, ready to learn. It was difficult for me and for other children to successfully learn a whole new language. It is understandable that it was equally challenging for the teachers to help us understand. While some did try, others only assumed it was better to retain those students in the same grade so that they could keep learning.

As I am nearing the end of my undergraduate journey, I find that I am being asked more frequently as to what my plans are after graduation. When I respond that I am applying to graduate school and I am really excited about continuing my education, I often receive the same reaction: a look of utter confusion and the question “Why?” The answer is simple: I love learning. I think that knowledge gives one more power than possessing riches, fame, or an army ever could. To quote the Doctor in my favorite TV show, Doctor Who, he says “You want weapons? We’re in a library! Books! The best weapons in the world! This room’s the greatest arsenal we could have – arm yourselves!” This quote illustrates exactly how I feel about possessing knowledge. There isn’t a problem in this world that a little bit of erudition can’t solve. However,

If someone asked me where I am going to be in ten years, this would be my answer. I will have a great, high-paying job, and beautiful wife and family, and a nice sports car parked in front of my lovely house. When I look into the future, I see myself being successful and happy. Even though I always pictured myself this way, I never worried too much about how I would get there. I feel the Suffolk University can lay the groundwork for making these dreams into reality.

As an undergraduate student, I always had the idea of attending graduate school, but it almost felt like it was unattainable. I constantly doubted myself and thought that it would be a miracle if I were to finish my undergraduate career. However, with time I realized that living in doubt and in fear would prevent me from accomplishing my goals. I view graduate school as a reward. By attending graduate school, I would be proving to myself that I have the skills and determination to achieve anything that I set my mind to. It would be an impeccable experience to further my education, but the main reason I am pursing graduate school is for my parents. My parents were unfortunate not to receive an education, yet, they strongly admire the importance

Freshman year of undergraduate school was an overwhelming adjustment for me. I had chosen to attend college at Edinboro University, two hours from home and for the first time had to develop my own academic schedule, social schedule, and delegate time for studying and projects. Unfortunately, my academics reflect the strain I was under while trying to find my balance. I don't consider this a weakness but a strength as I spent the rest of my academic career trying to make up for the academic mistakes of my first semester. My personal ambition to complete my degree persevered even in my junior year when I experienced a personal tragedy when my aunt, whom I looked up to as a second mother, passed away.

The purpose of this in-depth interview was to discover what actually motivated Madeleine to pursue studies abroad and the deep emotions behind the entire decision and the experience that came from it.

Notably, at Oxford I can study with international faculty and students. This environment is ideal to learn about international issues and topics, which makes the Oxford summer program unique. Professors from the United Kingdom and abroad bring knowledge to the summer program, which allows for interesting and insightful class time. The classes that I wish to take are not offered at my high school: Empires and Revolutions, Politics & International Relations and Introduction to English & European Law. The Oxford program will afford me a unique learning experience through the coursework and the multiple field trips that are offered, such as the excursions to London, the Bodleian Library, and the Ashmolean

I chose to apply to Georgetown University School of Medicine for several reasons that I think will allow me to become a well-prepared physician. I envision myself working in primary care in underserved communities and what Georgetown University School of Medicine aims to train their students to be medical professionals with empathy and respect are qualities that I am looking for as a prospective medical student from a medical school’s mission and vision. The more than one hundred and fifty years of experience that this institution has and its continuation of providing the best education and always putting the service to others first are the main reasons why I applied to this medical school.

Language is the system by which people express their perceptions of the world using symbols, gestures and sounds that are shared and understood in their specific groups or locations. The way people communicate those ideas is totally influenced by the culture. The concept of culture encompasses all the characteristics that define a specific group in terms of values, traditions, beliefs, history, etc. expressed through language. Culture and language are, therefore, two concepts whose interconnection cannot be denied or neglected, even more when one is learning a new language. Over the years, researchers have concluded that foreign languages are learned considering the grammar structures and/or the linguistic skills that students have to develop to be effective when communicating. However, Widdowson (1978) argued that “Someone knowing a language knows more than how to understand, speak, read and write sentences. He also knows how sentences are used to communicative effect” (p.1). In this sense, the development of cultural understanding in language learning also remains to be essential for the acquisition of it.

I have been in the habit of spending most of my time on the internet reading news and blogs, twitter and many other platforms, and that’s because it’s convenient and accessible. Further, technology has allowed me to follow the news online, read blogs about politics, sport and Not just locally but globally also. However, most of these blogs or online news are in English since it’s a world-wide used language. Thus, I was forced to learn the language and develop my language skills in reading and writing, speaking. Therefore, I was motivated to master a new language so I can read this news and platform. Online media made me understand many countries' culture, values, traditions and made me realize that everyone has their own experiences,
