College Admissions Essay: How To Help Myself

Riding a unicycle is probably pretty interesting. I originally wanted my parents to get me a pogo stick for christmas because they never got me one when i was little, but they couldn’t find an adult sized one in their budget. So they figured something else that is equally strange would suffice, and it really seemed to fit my personality.The reason I started my essay with a reference to my unicycle is because it shows some good aspects of my character. Since riding a unicycle took multiple months for me to master, it shows that I am persistent, even if I fall a few times. Though riding a unicycle is interesting and fun, it’s not my main priority. I’m extremely passionate for film and theatre, and there are a few things about me that really do a fantastic job at getting me ready for a career in acting.

Has your body ever left your mind so far behind a thick, veil of the spider web you’ve woven, to escape the dreams that have become realities, when in fact, it is merely a dream and not actual fact…

Perfection is unreachable but we still stick our hands out and try to grasp it. What is perfection? Perfections is trying to please and make you seem superior to the ones around you. No one strives to be perfect for themselves because there is no point. “It’s on the internet, the television, their cell phone, at the gym. They can’t get away from it.” (Pursuit Of Perfection NP). People see perfection and realize the feel like they have to be the same way. They feel like they have to fit in with the general public. Perfection is the idea that “I have to fit it” People want to be the same models or hot people they see everyone liking and trying to achieve the unsuccessful success that they have. Going about life is like a game of simon says. People

College 101 has been a very informative class. It has taught me a lot about college and the changes you have to make while attending college. I learned a lot about certain programs that the school offers, I knew nothing about these programs before I took this class and I probably never would have known anything about them if I never would have taken this class. In this class I have learned about three important concepts that can be very useful throughout my college years to come. I think time management, determining values and balancing lifestyles are the three most important concepts you need to help you succeed in college.

My mom signed me up for the community library when I just turned 6 years old. Even if I did not know how to properly read at the time, I had to go there every afternoon to keep myself busy as an only child. Being opened to books at such an early clearly has had a major impact on my life and personality. From the local tales of my beloved Senegalese society to the deep and sophisticated French literature, I have traveled through cultures and generations. Whether it is Emile Zola’s collection of novels or Albert Camus’s philosophical texts, these books raised me and taught me about life, love, and resilience. As times went by, reading was no more a regular pastime but a detrimental part of my existence. The lessons and morality I gained from each story always pushed me to challenge the status quo, to be curious, to be adventurous but most importantly to be a problem solver.

"We are all here for some special reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future" (Robin Sharma). I have come across this quote several times and each time, it has been inspirational. Moving to the United States from Iraq at the age of eight is one of the challenges for which I am most grateful. Growing up as a child in a country with poor living standards, poor education, and poor medical care made living conditions difficult for my family and I on a day-to-day basis. Coming here and being able to see how wide-ranged and expansive the pharmaceutical field was tremendously encouraging.

If someone asked me where I am going to be in ten years, this would be my answer. I will have a great, high-paying job, and beautiful wife and family, and a nice sports car parked in front of my lovely house. When I look into the future, I see myself being successful and happy. Even though I always pictured myself this way, I never worried too much about how I would get there. I feel the Suffolk University can lay the groundwork for making these dreams into reality.

I am pursuing the most competitive graduate program in my department, and I’m usually reminded of that anytime I’m asked about my career goals. It would be an understatement to say that I encounter occasional moments of self-doubt. At times I need to remind myself where I’ve been and how I’ve progressed.

“Can there really be a unified theory of everything?”, Stephen Hawking’s concern seems to be the most challenging question for scientists for years. The beauty of science underlies in its uncertainty - because we do not know anything for sure, we do more research to form a complete understanding of the universe we live in. The more we understand, the less we know. Science seeks to explain our physical and natural world through experimental and mathematical reasonings. That is the reason why science is so fascinating and this is where my academic interests lie.

First off, happy 16th birthday zbob, whoops I mean za-knob whoops I mean zainab. We met freshman year and who knew how many people we were gonna get blocked by! The possibilities are endless with you. The year continued with us losing chill and any care. We got blocked by 2 people but somehow magically got no restraining orders. After I while you said you wanted a job so I gave you one. My full time unpaid therapist. You helped me through hell and back, put up with the drama I got myself in, and even showed me that it is ok to be myself. You always had lotion so that made me like you even more. We had hilarious memories, prank calling ghostface and MJ. Don’t even get me started on our after-school dates. We have just over a million code names which honestly, I can’t remember anymore.

I grew up in Joliet, Illinois with the loving support I always received from my parents and family. My father was born in Michoacán, Mexico. As parents, you want the absolute best for your children, my grandparents made the decision to move to the United States to give their children and themselves a better future. My mother was born here in the United States. Both of my parents never went to college and because of that, my parents always tell me that they want me to go to college so I can avoid the struggle in the future. In addition, they always wanted to give us everything they never had. My biggest goal in life is to be successful and genuinely happy with my life. I enjoy many things such as spending time with my family and friends, giving back to my community through service projects, and learning new things.

Choosing where you want to attend for college is a one of the most stressful choice you have to make for your future. As a freshman in college it was difficult to choose where I wanted to attend for various reason like the learning environment and the courses offered. But after making comparisons between so many schools I chose to attend WATC. After making the transition from high school to college I, thought I was fully prepared for what college was going to be like, but instead I was wrong. When the time got closer to take my first exam for my microbiology class, I was struggling with managing my time to balancing my homework, work, friends, family, and other personal time. And as a result I received one of the worst grades I had ever gotten in a long time. Graduating with honors in high school, being on top of my class, while being involved in my school, sports, my community, and working. I started to get very worried and stressed about everything I was going through in that moment. And began to question myself if I was making the right decision for everything and I ended up realizing I needed to make changes to how well I was managing my time and making a schedule to stay on track with all my tasks. This is why I belive in order to be successful in college you must learn to manage your time by getting into the habit of developing a time schedule to help you achieve your goals. You can began by determining the goals

It’s a good thing that high school is the place for finding yourself, because who I am is something I am still figuring out. In my opinion, education and discovering more about who you are go hand in hand, because as you learn you are exposed to new ideas, cultures, and other things that could change one’s personality and views. Even Aristotle once said, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” I may not have discovered everything about myself, but I know that I am an amiable, inquisitive, and assiduous person. Although I possess many valuable traits, no one is perfect and I know I am quite unorganized and forgetful. All of these traits are important attributes of my character, and I wouldn’t be myself without them.

WPI is the first step I am taking that will reach to what I want to achieve in my life. I believe I would be a good fit for WPI because of the learning experience I received from the STEM program. I have the exposure of what it like to work in engineering, technology, and science field and how each individual play an important role in our society. More specifically, technology had grabbed my attention and I wanted to pursue more into it. I again got the opportunity to witness what it was like to be working in those three field when I was invited to go on the Girls STEM Summit field trip in WPI. During the trip, we got a glimpse of the variety courses that we could take under those fields. I thought it was really welcoming because the

My advice to a freshman is that do not waste your time because being as a senior I have seen many freshman students who don’t care about their classes because they think that they have a lots of time to recover it on their junior or senior year but the fact is that if the time never stop it is going on it circle so we never know that what is happening next with us. Never trust on time because as the clock is rounding it doesn’t on the moment that you want it is moving and moving but you have to catch it and spend it for a thing that gives you a benefit. I am a senior when I came to the school I was already senior but I didn’t waste my time with anything that I have to worry about it. I put all my effort and hard work in my classes and know
