College Admissions Essay: My Education And Career Goals

I will never look at a cubicle office job, a burger-flipping joint, or a salesman’s job and say, “that’s where I want to be in a few years.”. In my lifetime, I have never had an interest in an office job, quite unironically, I’ve always looked to the arts as a potential job source. I love colors, lines, shapes; I find beauty in it all. Art is all around us in this world, and I plan to contribute by becoming an animator. That is my dream job because it’s the ultimate way for me to utilize my creativity. I’ve jumped from multiple dream jobs to the next, at first I considered being a professional “fine arts” artist, working with pencil and any other medium to create classical pieces of work. As times progressed, I’ve slowly realized that the

Essay C: Considering your lifetime goals , discuss how your current and future academic and extracurricular activities might help you achieve your goals.

Goals, goals, goals they're what people think about and how they are going to achieve them in the future. My three goal in life are to get in the college of my choice, go skydiving and to get a well paying job. These three goals are important to me because they are what I am likely to achieve within the next ten years. As I grow and blossom into someone big, someone bigger than who I am today I don’t mean just physically but bigger intellectually, and more capable. These goals show me that if I want to achieve them, then I have to work hard to accomplish them.

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

I have a very good idea as to what career I would want after college. The plan for me would be for me to go get a MA in history after FDU and then go into education. I think the goal for me would be to get a Ph.D. in history, but that would be further down the line. But if I was not on this path my two other career options would be public relations and counseling.

A college education will help me fulfill my dreams of using my knowledge for a greater purpose in the world. There are many problems in the world that I would like to at least shed light if not help resolve. For example, mental health within people of color, isn’t as vital as it should be. As a person who has suffered from depression as well as having family members that suffer from mental illnesses, I have personally seen how something so critical can be swept under the rug and that someone dealing with it not have the support they need. I am currently majoring in Psychology and my goal after medical school is to psychiatrist and create a non-profit organization, devoted to creating safe spaces regarding people of color and their mental health. My college education will help me learn the patterns of humans and their thought process consciously and subconsciously to ensure that the setting of my future organization is aiding those who

I’ve always been that kind of guy who was good with numbers. Throughout my school years, I never had the desire to put in extra effort when it came to English classes or written works. My focus really seemed to rotate around a desire to be a hundred and ten percent into computers and technologies. I assumed that I would always have access to word processors or the Internet if I ever needed spell checking or literacy advice, or at least that’s how I summarized it. So, that philosophy only worked for so long, in a nutshell, less than two years into my first career job!

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

I have chosen to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Management from Franklin University. I decided on this degree as I have spent the past seventeen years creating a career in the I.T industry, for one of the largest financial institutions in the world, and feel that this would present me with more opportunities for growth. I believe I have the technology knowledge and experience now, and I want to show that I have the leadership and management skills that will take me to the next level. This will also,hopefully, lead to promotions and more influence within my department, as well as the financial benefits that accompany them. My wife returned to school as an adult learner when she was 26 and obtained her

As a child, college was set up as a crucial milestone. Attending college and becoming a professional was a necessity growing up in my household. I am currently attending college because I want to become a dance teacher for the Miami-Dade County Public School System and restore the discipline that has been lost over numerous years. I have already been looked at as a role model by my younger family members and by my current students; therefore, receiving my college degree would help me continue to inspire those around me to do great things. If asked to leave the college due to academic failure, I would feel like a let down to the people that have been rooting to see me succeed. Although college is stressful, I have faith that it will be one of my most deserved achievements after overcoming the obstacles of poor time management, health/personal issues, and lack of sleep.

I am from a middle-class family originally from Nigeria, I moved to Chicago to better education. I have been extremely lucky to experience diverse cultures and ways of life, and in my own way I have been able to incorporate that in my daily life. My family also made it clear that education would be my ticket to survival later in life. I have seen education not only as a means to survival but as medium, to change the world. Learning about different things, and giving an open mind to others is an essential required for everyone. All my academic, social and financial achievement can be traced to my open-minded personality. I plan to major in Architecture and minor in Theater Arts, learning about arts and design is the best feeling and experience anyone would have. The idea of using ones imagination, creativity and logistics to create something phenomenal is beyond

“What are you good at”? “What type of hobbies that you do”? Usually, every year when I am in a new grade and new class every teacher says that to me. No matter what the class that I’m in, no matter what class it’s like and, and what I say that question always come up, To be honest, I'm good at a lot of things. Everyone has something that makes them special. Either it's their skill or talent that they have or are working on these days like me. I have gained my skills over the years especially in school. Everyone as a skill in something. Some have many of those skills and talents. I for one, I have a lot but today I will describe three. They are typing on the computer fast and know how to work tech, I have a lot of patience for others and for

I was born in a dense, rural community where a strong emphasis in education was vital to appeal to American culture’s view of success. Children in my community were often tasked with the improbable duty of debunking the myth of the poverty cycle. To exacerbate my misery of such a soporific task being anchored from my shoulder, I would use written words to suffice those that fail to echo from my mouth. As a young girl, I was not interested in the literature of others; I choose to create my own literature through poetry, essays and a nonfiction book, which I failed to finish. Much of my childhood has been riddled with inner failure, but external success in my academics, which helped me graduate first in my high school class and win the Gates Millennium Scholarship. The temptation to give up was compelling, but that voice in my head pushed me to college.

A wise man once told me, “Get all the education you can, because that is something no one can ever take away from you.” Ever since that day, his words have always stuck with me. As I close the high school chapter of my life, I am anxious and driven, for the possibilities of the future. I have grown up being the oldest of my immediate family and my extended family. As a result of being the oldest, it has pushed me to strive to become the best example for my brothers and cousins. As I begin the path towards my future career, I have set goals I wish to accomplish to make my family, and myself, proud of the woman I will become. My education and career goals are to go to South Plains, then Texas Tech, and pursue a major in finance along with a

The breathtaking emotions that embrace me every time the city stares at me right in my eyes, is what draws my attention to the field. I desire a connection created for the equality of the rich and the poor; I desire a shelter built to open new horizons; I desire a space opened to lead us to the eternal balance between human and nature.
