College Admissions Essay: A Career As A Microsoft Student

The online platform that I feel will allow me to share my ideas, resources, questions and professional expertise with others is through blogging. Blogging is something that I have only had a very limited experience with. To be totally honest, I have only read and received great ideas from, I have never written on another’s blog or created my own. I am excited to

My life has been an ongoing stuggle, but my hard work, determination, and enthusiasm for my education have enabled me to pursure my dreams. My academic plans are to major in pre-occupational therapy. After graduating and completing the prerequisite, I plan to obtain a license in Occupational Therapy by attending OT School. Success does not come from a pay check. For me, helping and assisting others acheive their goals is the purest form of success. I want to travel and eventually settle down in my hometown. My overall career goal is to give back to the community that shaped me into the person I am. I am a hardworking-dedicated student, who focuses on my work, yet I have always enjoyed being involved in extracirricular activities. As you can see from my application, I enjoy sports and clubs. In the following year, I plan to get deeper involved

Something that make me smile, gets me excited, makes me do something is softball. I have played ball all since the day I could walk. I started off playing baseball since I was 2 years old. Then at age 8 I went on to play softball for a select softball team in Pearland. Playing softball has always made me smile! I love the intensity, excitement, and the teamwork that is used to play ball. We all look out for each other and try to pick each other up even when we are not all in the spirit. Some activities that involve science, technology, engineering, and math that I find to be fun is robotics and underwater robotics. Robotics has always been a big part in my life because my dad is a robotics teacher for this school and I always loved playing

Over the last several years in addition to being a full time student I have also enjoyed various other activities including working, sports, and giving back to my community. All of these activities motivate me to succeed. In addition, they each help to make me a responsible individual and a good citizen.

Throughout my life I've come to be heavily involved in just about all things technology and it's developed into something I've become passionate about. I began working on computers as early as 7th grade and I moved on to doing freelance work for friends and family, as well as taking Computer servicing classes my sophomore & junior years of high school. Beyond high school I had a falling out with technology, and I believe this was necessary in order for me to realize that it's a field that I love and excel

As I am trying find my place in this world where society is constantly changing its image of the ideal hardworking employee, I fear I am not what most businesses precisely want representing them. I have the appearance of a blonde-haired, blue eyed girl, and society often treats me as the weak-link. People assume that I do not have the capability of success, for I am a woman from a small town. Male domination in the career force is an aspect of my future that worries me the most. Men still occupy many positions of power; however, I want to change that. I have proved myself in high school, but I need to prove myself in college. I have been a female leader, and my goal is to be successful with it.

From a young age, I have always been effective at math. In addition to my high quality math skills, I’ve been an organized person when it comes to important papers. When I reached freshman year of high school, I still wasn’t what I wanted to be for the rest of my life, when I was five I wanted to be a veterinarian, at ten a chef, by fifteen I had no idea. The belief that I had no true calling in life was a prominent and that there was no specific skill set that I had, I just went through my classes for two years choosing the ones that I would enjoy and that would help me acquire admission into college. When my junior year arrived, I enrolled in Computer Applications III, which is a class that certifies students in almost any Microsoft program through the Microsoft Company for $100. In choosing Excel as my certification, it soon became apparent that I excelled at it.

Each morning I wake up and I put on my uniform. As I lace my boots and fix my collar, I ask myself why I put this uniform on every morning. My answers vary by day, but it all comes down to responsibility. A seemingly specific answer can actually be quite broad. I fulfill a duty responsibility to myself, my community, my country, and my world.

Over the past ten years I have had the opportunity to connect with many people on a professional level when either I or my audience have joined the location I was working in at the time. Typically, when trying to connect I like to share a story where I take them though my career path as well as share a little about my personal life. This story comes to mind when I think about what drives my desire to go back to school and earn a bachelors degree. It really comes down to my family and a clear career direction that will allow me to spend more time with my family. I am now a husband and father of three children who are now involved in various extracurricular actives. My career path has been anything but standard. This has provided we with varying experiences which has resulted in valuable skill sets, however they are not

As a senior, I pride myself in knowing that I will be the first in my family to graduate high school and have the opportunity of pursuing my dreams. As I look into the future, it is easy to see why many would think that my dream career is unobtainable. When I tell others what I want to do, I always get the same reaction of shock. Countless times throughout my life I've been told that I cannot do it; I've been told that there is no way that a kid born with illegal parents who have no real education can ever achieve what I want to do. I dream of becoming a surgeon and helping save the lives of others. I want to prove once and for all that someone like me, even from the circumstances that surround me, can make something great with their lives

Excelling in school has always been a priority. While most of my peers found excitement in winning in a sports event, I always found that receiving stellar grades to be more rewarding. When I entered high school, my vision for the future was not clear and I was looking for my purpose in the world. I developed a love for chemistry thanks to my teacher, Mrs.Worley. Her passion for the field was displayed in her teaching, which rubbed off on me. I started to think of a career in the field after I learned about a drug that she helped design to fight cancer. I realized for her work that there were so many possibilities in the field that could better the world. This is why I am choosing the pursue a degree in chemistry.

Being told “you can’t” is a crushing experience. It is equivalent to going on a run, then having a wall appear in your path and knocking you flat on your back. With no ladder or visible way around it, many would turn back. Accept that they will never see what lies beyond that wall, and simply give up. But not me. Wall after wall has been thrown up in front of me, but I never let them keep me from reaching the finish line I know lies beyond it.

A scholar is defined as, “A person who is highly educated has an aptitude for study.” This definition perfectly describes the reasoning for scholarship as well as the potential future from being a scholar. The impact of being a scholar has allowed me to advance in school and prepare for scholarship outside of high school. Scholarship has allowed me to maintain good grades and with that retain the knowledge gained from my classes. Being a scholar has created the desire to learn and gain as much knowledge as possible. Debate has allowed me to become a better scholar, and with that scholarship has helped me with debate. TSA also has taught me to be scholarly among and with others. The impact of being a scholar has been great on me.

Independent. The one word that has kept me motivated throughout the years. Over the last few years, I have asked myself, “What do I see myself doing?” Being independent is always the first thing that comes to my mind. Going into the school of business will provide me with the necessary tools and education it will take to start my future career and carry me on my way to being a successful and independent women.
