As a student at CMU, I believe this is the ideal environment for me to achieve my dreams. I believe I do not have the typical aspirations of others, I just have one goal that may seem simple yet also slightly daunting: to be happy. I believe by obtaining a degree in something I am passionate about would help me achieve this lifelong goal. I don’t believe that one day I will randomly wake up and feel very passionately about something, but I believe by becoming more involved in something that I have a small interest in, could blossom into a passion. Although I have not declared a major, I have found my happy place at CMU in the lab, which honestly shocked me. It is a way to apply my knowledge learned in lecture to real hands on experience which helps solidify the information. Currently I am an undeclared major, however, I have definitely narrowed my major selection down to a science. College hasn’t just advanced my academics, but it has also helped me gain valuable life experiences. I have learned how to shop on a budget and learn how to manage my time. With these valuable life experiences I believe I will be more ready to enter the real world after I graduate. …show more content…

Thesis: HBCU’s are necessary for the future of democratic America because they better prepare African American students as individuals and for the workforce.
After having been in my first college year for a couple of months, I still had no idea what I was leaning towards for a major. Within these first couple of months I had learned that Biomedical Studies was not something that I was sure of, along with many other careers and majors that I learned about in the Compass class that were not for me. Tired of not knowing what I wanted to do, I sat myself down and did some researched. I came upon
Upon graduating high school, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I didn’t want to be like a lot of my friends and use college as an excuse to party all night and be lazy all day. So I decided to apply for a full time position as a diesel mechanic at Utility Fleet Sales so that I could at least begin earning income. Soon after starting this position, I realized that I wanted more. I decided to attend night classes at Blinn community college while continuing to work full time. I had no idea on what degree I wanted to work towards, but for the first time in my life I began to enjoy school. As I finished my first year at Blinn and second year working as a technician, I was promoted to an inside parts associates. This position introduced me to inventory management, building relationships with customers, cost management and basic accounting. I really enjoyed applying the mechanical knowledge I learned from working as a technician, towards my new position of
To me, being Washburn’s Homecoming Queen means that I came onto campus accomplishing what I set out to do. I came to Washburn as a transfer student looking for a community that fit me and understood what I was looking for. Washburn University is a campus that strives on helping you accomplish what you as a student wish to do in your years here. I came from Missouri Southern University, a school similar in size to Washburn, but not connected in the ways I needed to succeed. I have set a goal for myself to nurture the community around me in hopes it will nurture me back in return. This nurture I look for is learning and continuous community service. My passion belongs to these two activities. I take heavy class loads from 21-18 hours as well as continuously search for new ways to help fellow students succeed whether that’s tutoring, giving a hand, communicating, or running local food drives on and off campus.
Transferring from a two-year institution to one of the most protégées HBCU's in this country was one of the best life decision I could've made. The astrosphere at my HBCU is second to none. At the point when untouchables specify my establishment first thing that comes to the theme is the legendary "Marching Storm" or our world-class nursing program yet this is simply to give some examples. But with all these incredible trademarks I as an understudy still face worries about foundations with living arrangements, financial aid, and the absence of the educational programs field to consider in. These are just a few concerns to name that rarely gets the mention by outsiders looking in that I as a Prairie

The academics are about personal achievement, cutting-edge discovery, and community involvement, with students and lifelong learners selecting from a stunningly diverse array of possibilities, and that is more than enough to attract me. One academic major that I am especially interested in joining is Computer Science, a major that is shared throughout all three campus locations. There are a few factors that determine my choice for this major, one which is my prominent interest in math, a subject in which I believed do very remarkable in. As someone who enjoys math, I take pleasure in performing mental challenges and analyzing problems in order to solve them. Another factor for my choice in Computer Science is my interest in technology. There's no doubt that technology has helped improve our lives and it's only getting more advanced as the days go by. For example, Rutgers University is in possession of the latest technologies and state-of-the-art research facilities that assist students with their education. As the world is connected and driven mostly by technology nowadays, I desired to discover more about the technological world around me. Therefore, by studying Computer Science, I will learn how to utilize technology in assisting other fields and helping solve different types of issues. In addition, I relish in tinkering with items to see how they function. Finally, the Computer Science major at the New Brunswick branch of Rutgers University offer a program in which an undergraduate can earn both a Bachelor and a Master's degree in a short amount of time, thus graduating with two degrees, which will help launch me right into a great career, one that will help make a difference in the
Only Canisius College, can offer me the requirements I need; which are both knowledge and rigor. Since the start of my academic career, from grammar school to even now in my final year of high school, my motivation for continuing is my interest in learning. For me, it was the knowledge I had acquired from my classes and the rigor to test both my physical and academic capabilities.
Twenty-six years ago. I began the quest to find the perfect college. As I drove down the driveway of Bay Path College, I knew this was the college I was going to attend. I was drawn to the rural setting, the beautiful campus and the small academic community. My intent for life after high school was to get my associates degree, earn some money, then begin working toward my bachelor degree. In retrospect, I did not possess the confidence or drive needed to be a good student. I struggled for the next couple of years to earn my Associates degree, however was apprehensive to commit to the time or expense it would take to continue my education. After a very long break in schooling, I now approach education with a new mindset and ready to commit

My life at TTU has been one big journey, starting out, that I did not have a clue to what I wanted to major
I have spent time after time thinking which college would be right for me in terms of academic opportunities pertaining to the career I wish to pursue. Now after all this time I am absolutely certain that the university is the college for me. It has everything I would want in terms of college and learning environment. The welcoming atmosphere, the superb campus, and the opportunities that a young adult about to enter the real world is searching for. I cannot envision myself at no other place than the university of south Alabama.
When I was growing up, my parents always encouraged me to do well in school and to go college to create a better and brighter future for myself. Growing up with parents that did not even finish middle school, I always knew that I wanted to go to college, but once I reached my senior year of high school, I felt confused as to what I really wanted to do. I always thought that I somewhat knew what I wanted to study, but once I got to the end of high school, I began wondering what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Therefore, I decided to apply for the COMPASS program at UCF because I like the areas of science and math, so I thought that I could explore some more majors in those areas. As I took MHS 2330, I became more exposed to the various
Although I excelled in high school biology and health classes, I knew that choosing a major down that route would never be an option for me. I wanted my major to be one that I was passionate about, making learning something I craved to do. At the end of junior year, my school
Before receiving the news of my selection for this scholarship, I was unsure of my academic future. Much like most American teens, I am not in a good financial place to completely pay for my tuition at Gardner-Webb this upcoming semester and would have to resort to using student loans which would have taken years to completely pay off. With that being said, this scholarship will help me immensely with keeping out of debt while I am here at Gardner-Webb.
