Application To A Community College Analysis

I enjoyed my time as a student there and the diverse people and relationships I built with people I ordinarily would never have met.

I believe in the inclusion and I love the challenge of working in an environment where many different people come together to solve problems together.

The person who influenced me most into applying to Syracuse University was my dad. My dad graduated with a degree from Syracuse, and has always been hardworking and passionate in everything he does. Going to Syracuse for me correlates with many of the traits my dad possesses, and by going to the same college he got his degree from, I hope that I can develop many of the same traits he possesses.

This pattern of death continued almost every month for the entirety of my freshman year. Though I struggled to cope with the losses, I adjusted and finished freshman year.

The second collage is of my education, what I've learned and how I got here. Along the bottom of the collage is a picture of my original high school which was super small.

In cosmetology school I learned haircutting, nail polishing, coloring hair, cosmetic applications,
