Babson College

There was absolutely nothing that could set me apart from the sea of designer purses, overly expensive shoes, and cherry flavored lip glosses. In high school, it seems if you weren’t marginalized into a group or follow the status quo you were seen as the misfit. One day, I experienced an epiphany in the back of my Government class, I wasn’t content with the illusion of the perfect teen. I had acceptable grades, I was well liked by most of my student body; however, I couldn’t come to the terms that I neglected what really mattered to me. At home my family would describe me with words such as: “eclectic, unique and remarkable.”, but at school I conformed into a person with a lackluster personality. I reckon that college is a place where each student is not the same and has the ability to be their true selves without being judged. This being, another reason why I respect your institution on the importance of accepting different cultures and

A school that met every single one of my expectations. The only probably was the price tag. Since I was a child, I have been aware of financial issues. My father spent years working his was up the ladder in his job for the state agriculture program, when I was in second grade my mother went back to school to obtain her nursing degree. I was accustomed to them working multiple jobs at once to support my sister and I, which they always managed to do. Knowing all of this seeing the price of attending Boston University truly affected me. I know how much my parents have done for me and to have to ask them for such a huge sum of money seemed unfair. This scholarship would allow me to get closer to making my dream a reality. I hope to attend Boston University and get a degree in communications, a speciality of the school, get my masters degree with a focus on public relations, and then begin working in the field as a public relations

Throughout my academic career, my grades and accomplishments have always been of extreme importance to me. To keep up with my goals, for example, making honor roll every quarter, I have taken steps and faced setbacks that have enabled me to see the big picture rather than focusing on the little issues that could discourage me from reaching those goals. To make the honor roll at my high school means obtaining a 3.5 grade point average or above for the entire quarter. As a freshman, I made it my goal to meet this standard throughout my complete high school career. To do this, I studied hard for every one of my classes, always did my homework, and put in as much effort as I could; I gave it my all. Through tough classes and staying up all night

I have excelled at every subject, achieving various honors throughout my years at Bellefonte. I have challenged myself greatly by taking various engineering classes at the high school, so that I can see what is to come in my future. These courses are designed to push students outside of the normal classroom routine, making me focus on real world applications of the material. In these courses, and all of my schoolwork I strive for perfection, pushing myself to my limits to achieve it. When faced with challenges I strive to overcome them in any means necessary. I strive to have challenges in my schoolwork, so that I can push myself to solve them. I do not back away from any challenge, rather I seek for them to show myself, and others what is

I am a journalism major with a focus in public relations and a minor in marketing therefore I believe the Honors college will enhance my academic experience at Georgia State by allowing me to develop my people skills as well as my personal professional development. The honors college programs do not only provide rigorous academic programs for strong individuals to constantly feel challenged but it also provides guidance to develop individual professionalism ,and I believe both would allow me to grow as a journalism major. In addition, I know the amazing staff that the honors college provides would help me maintain my focus and personal development all four years of my undergraduate studies.

In 2009, Centenary College in Shreveport, La, audaciously cut half of its 44 majors after the endowment dropped by 20 percent. Many can feel repercussions in many different ways. Although people were affected, the college made the correct decision to cut those classes.. Also, there is truth in the statement, “And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy. Any man who can take a TV wall apart and put it back together again, and most men can nowadays, is happier than any man who tries to slide-rule, measure, and equate the universe…” (Bradbury), and it can be reflected in The Death of Liberal Arts by Nancy Cook.

Teaching and nursing were the top two fields for women throughout the 1930s but home economics also experienced a great surge in popularity during the Depression. Social work, child development, and nursery school educational programs were also popular. Women began to make slow inroads into traditionally male dominated areas of education such as business, science, medicine, architecture, engineering, and law (Nash, M).

As you can tell, each college has something to offer. Macomb has seem to be a school to get a basic education to eventually be in the progress to transfer to a four-year college to evolve. Macomb can be a school for students that want to stay close to home, want to get there basic education out of the way, students that want to save money and plenty of other reasons. Barnard seems to be a school to learn everyday skill to use, then learn to input them into your future career. Barnard can be for girls that want to get a higher education and have the money for it, love the city einverioment and want to feel empowered by going to an all girl college.

My senior year on high school, I had my sights on attending Texas A&M University. I was always a good student, so I got in with a full ride scholarship. I was set to attend A&M’s Mays Business School in fall of 2008, and I attended up until fall of 2011. Getting to study what I wanted to study and doing so with people all over Texas was definitely an unforgettable experience. Due to financial reasons I had to return to the valley, and I am now attending South Texas College for the semester. I have plans on returning back to Texas A&M, but I have come to the conclusion that; a college education doesn’t depend on the location, it depends on how hard you work to finish school, and not letting life’s obstacles deter you from pursuing your dreams. I have learned a lot from my professors at A&M, and have developed an admiration for their hard work, and their decisions to continue their education past receiving their bachelor degrees. Obtaining an MBA

As you continue to go through each grade, it becomes harder to distinguish yourself from those around you as you are ushered through the cookie cutter of life in order to excel in the world hoping to be prepared for experiences that you may face.Through college, one is presented with the opportunity to reinvent themselves and really discover who they are. I hope to take advantage of this newfound freedom in order to develop who I am as a person as I prepare my self for the obstacles that I will soon face. I believe this step in life will help me break out of my metaphorical cocoon to become more comfortable with who I started out as and who I will become.

“Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated”; this seemingly simple statement is found in a letter written by Rosalind Franklin to her father. Over seventy years after this declaration was made, an abundance of people have proven its truth and unknowingly use this statement to influence their education and life. Although Rosalind Franklin underwent various trials throughout her life, generational research can attend that her persistence made her into the brilliant chemist that is still remembered today. Rosalind Franklin’s most recognized piece of work is her important contributions in understanding the structure of DNA, a remarkable discovery considering her unexpectedly short lifespan. When looking at the impact Franklin

Upon entering high school, I made a goal to myself: I wanted to become a better version of myself, realizing my own strengths and weaknesses and, ultimately, preparing to be a part of a completely different atmosphere beyond high school and even college. From the beginning, I knew I was going to find a way to improve academically, as a member of Kingsway’s STEM Academy and Superintendent’s List throughout my high school career. However, I would never think that I, as an eighth grader, would ultimately rise above my classmates, eventually being third in my class freshman year and still enjoying the rigor of taking as many AP and Honors classes as I possibly could fit in my schedule. By being recognized and awarded for my achievements, I finally realized that being this type of student, one that strives to do the best and remains self-motivated no matter what difficulties are faced, gives me a purpose as student and overall enjoyment.

Throughout my educational experience, I have endured countless hardships that made progress difficult at times. Although it was a struggle through my strong dedication to education, I have also earned a list of achievements for my hard work. These experiences from, failing two of my English classes, to excelling tremendously in mathematics, have molded me into the type of student I am today. I am a student with a growth mindset and, an optimistic outlook on education and, the bright future ahead. I now understand the impact that a positive mindset can have on your future. I am definitely proud of the student I have become. I feel like my journey is unique, but is also very relatable.

With so many ways to describe who I am, I think I will start off with the basics. I am a college student that attends Drake University. I would identify myself as hard-working, responsible, and persistent. At the beginning of the term, I identified myself as how I felt in the moment with answers such as tired, hungry, and bored. Yes, those were traits I identified myself within the moment, but now I try to look far and beyond the present. I want to identify myself as someone who strives to achieve everything she ever wanted, including graduating from college, with honors and getting involved within the college community. I want to be able to identify with things that have meaning and substance that I have always strived for including being determined and self-reliant.
