“You haven't done so well with passing classes and that’s an issue, you have a decision to make, you can either stay at lakewood and not graduate on time, or you can move to an alternative school to make up the credits you need.” The words that no high school student want to hear. As a high school student, school was not my best interest. Yes, i can say that i was interested and determined to get done with my high school year and go to college and continue to persuade my dream in either becoming a cosmetologist or become in the culinary fields, but that didn’t go as planned. As the days go by everything becomes a challenge, School work gets harder along with the classes, also understanding everything that you learn even gets harder. Most people

As a senior in high school the time has come when people begin to ask big and sometimes overwhelming questions like, “Where are you going to college?” and “What will be your major?” These questions, of course, lead to college visits and decisions. The two colleges that seem to meet my criteria are The University of Findlay and Ohio Dominican University. Both colleges have positive aspects, such as having the major that I am interested in as well as being close to family.  However, The University of Findlay seems to be a better fit than Ohio Dominican because it is closer to home and I am familiar with the campus and I grew up on this campus.

Decisions made prior to the age of eighteen always seem like a crisis until you have met the mother of all crisis, your final college decision. I found myself staring my future directly in the face almost a year ago wondering where I would further my education just as much as the people pressuring an answer from me. After months of self deliberation, I set my sights on Prairie View A&M University for fall enrollment, albeit if you would have asked me just a few months before I would have turned my face up and dismissed the university as even an option. Stereotypes of universities that historically known as predominantly populated by black students skewed their image for me. Eventually, my outlook was enlightened through educating myself more

Once my senior year started, it seemed as if all I heard was “College this, college that”, because of all of this discussion I was second guessing even going to college as a whole. From taking SATs, ACTs, and planning prom, college for me was the least of my worries. Fast forwarding to November where college applications are due, I still have no clue on what college I am going to attend. All of the California State Universities applications closed November thirty-first, while the out-of-state schools did not close until the top of the following

Going to community college was not part of the original game plan when deciding where to apply junior year of high school. The original plan was to attend a college I was accepted into in New York city and it seemed as easy as clicking accept until it came to planning out the financial logistics and reality took the upper hand. Almost two years later and I feel the relief of being debt-free but there also lies the lingering feeling of regret. The difficulty lies within having to stay home for two years and a consistent feeling of being held back while watching high school classmates make moving strides toward their desired four-year institution. The inability to relate to my closest friends and feeling less than others led me to have a low

How are students supposed to enjoy their senior year when there is a dark cloud called the future hovering over them at all times? Accordingly, during the college decision process, it is essential to take one step at a time. Students that are not set on what career they want to pursue can focus on what they are confident about instead: their talents. The journey in finding the right college can be stressful. In the College Preparation English IV class, there have been several discussions on the pressure that comes with choosing a higher education program and have looked at many different texts on the subject of uncertainty.

Hello, I’m Yoseline and attending New Jersey City University will be one of the biggest accomplishments of my life. Up until recently I had decided to attend this college. I had a really hard time deciding what college I wanted to commit to. Mainly because I didn't think my high school years would go by so quick. I was so lenient and thought I had all time in the world but in reality, I didn’t. It hit me like a truck on how soon I’m going to graduate. I never been so enthusiastic about leaving high school and get on the road to my future.

After visiting the University of St. Thomas, I was mesmerized by it’s beautiful campus, friendly community, and comfortably sized classrooms. I had no doubt in my mind that the University of St. Thomas was the school that I wanted to attend. But after talking it over with my parents, they were hesitant to approve my decision of picking St. Thomas as my path for the next four years of my life because of the overwhelming cost of attendance.

For every senior, the most significant decision they have to make is what college they want to attend next autumn. The day the college application opened, I began to fill out the empty spaces, select the schools I desired to attend and type up my supplements. Every person is different; they pick their school depending on the environment they prefer or their athletics or even the programs the schools have to offer. For me, attending Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts was a dream I hoped to fulfill. However, it was not the best idea my parents had in mind. The process was protracted and tedious but the wait to see the results was worse. Time was ticking and my chances of talking to my parents about Northeastern University were decreasing. My use of rhetoric skills helped me in persuading them to allow me to fulfill my dreams.

Everybody in high school looked forward to graduation day. I looked at graduation myself, and decided what college to attend is a difficult situation. At first I didn’t know how I am going to get there, and I knew nothing going stand in the way to get my high school diploma. When I graduated from high school, I started as a freshman at the University of New Orleans. When I was at the University of New Orleans, I was a good standard student; however, my math grade wasn’t that great. Whenever when I was a senior in high school, without the need to study I maintain my grade with a perfect 3.6 grade point average. When I looked at my midterm overall average for the fall semester, my grade point average was a 2.5. I knew I could have done better,

It’s your senior year. You’ve worked so hard to participate in various clubs, after school activities, sports teams, and honors societies, taking the SATs and ACTs, all while maintaining a perfect GPA. You became so much closer with your favorite teachers, visiting them after school almost everyday, asking them questions upon questions. You practically call your guidance counselor by her first name because you're in her office so often, having her number on speed dial just incase any issue arises. You’ve worked so hard for all four years of high school for this one thing called college. This is what you've been waiting for, to get into the best of the best schools, the top universities in the country. Wearing that Harvard University hat on your head in front of everyone would prove to the world just how smart you really are. Well what if I told you that where you go to college doesn’t really matter, and that maybe your prestigious college isn't as great as it seems.

High school had become a confusing time for me. I didn’t know what I wanted to do in a place where almost all of the people I knew had a set plan ahead of them. I didn’t know of any science related fields that I would be interested in for sure. However this last year I had the idea of majoring in Biochemistry. I had heard stories of the creation of biosteel and I believed that working on something like that would be a fulfilling job that would pay well and help improve the

In February, I received a letter from Campbell, inviting me to apply for more scholarships, 2 of which were full tuition. At first, I wasn't interested, but with encouragement from my family, I figured it was worth the shot, although, I still had no intention of attending Campbell. On the day of the interview, I was given a tour of the campus, had the opportunity to meet many friendly staff, and was informed of all the opportunities for students. Throughout the day, I decided that the only way I would go to Campbell was if I was awarded an additional scholarship. When I didn't receive the scholarship, I was still set on Wofford. It wasn't until I spent the weekend at Wofford that I began to have doubts about attending there. A few days before the enrollment deposit deadline of May 1, I was faced with the decision of Wofford or Campbell. The school I believed I was going to for the past several months or the school I never took a glance at. After evaluating my priorities, I decided that Campbell would be the place for me. I found that Campbell had many more opportunities for me to practice my faith and live in a Christian community. I’ve already confirmed that I have and will continue to have so many campus ministry groups and worships to attend, something that I could not

For many, after graduating high school the next big step is college. I never asked myself why or if I even wanted to. Yet, since I was not yet ready to join the work force, and didn’t want to disappoint my parents, I simply followed the path that I was supposed to take. For a while I had no direction, but through the loss of my high school English teacher and my dream of making my family proud, I discovered that college was the place I wanted and needed to be.

Entering college, I didn’t really know what I wanted to do in my life. I had some ideas on what major I wanted to do and the corresponding job, but I was still unsure with my decisions. So I decided to expand on the ideas that I had and started to do some research. One of my ideas what to enter Computer Engineering and learn more about computers. I had questions that need answers, so I found someone in Computer Engineering that was willing to
