I work two jobs and try really hard to make sure I’m doing well in my classes along with making sure my family is okay. Why I am saying all this is because I feel like I

Goals, goals, goals they're what people think about and how they are going to achieve them in the future.

I always wanted to go to college growing up, but because my family, along with my sisters and myself, we born and raised back in a refugee camp in Nepal. The school in which I started my schooling was also in a refugee camp. We didn’t have enough financial help to have all the things that we needed. We had to depend upon the support we got from the agencies. When we arrived in the United States, we got a lot of assistance from different agencies. I also got chance to attend school again. But, my family is composed of five members. My parents have to look after the education of the three of us. They do not have a lot monetary resources to fulfill my desire to go to college. I had nagging feeling that college was a dream that won't come true

It has always been hard for me to properly envision my future, as it is always changing. As a child I thought of becoming a doctor, in middle school I dreamt of becoming a journalist, and my plans for the future are still shifting.

This central desire is what leads me to choose Georgetown as the school which perfectly encapsulates my interests.

It’s a weird feeling being compared to your seven-year-old sister. It’s an even weirder feeling when you’re being compared because she can run five times as long as you can.

The first morning I walk into my job I actually went to the wrong floor but I got there eventually. I felt very nervous, as any other freshmen intern would feel. Everyone at accounting said I was cute and tiny, which I thought was good. They didn’t have me work on anything major as it was my first day so I don’t think they want to overwhelm me with work on my first day. I could instantly tell that I would like it here, everyone was so nice and it was like they were family and I wanted to be a part of that family. Now that I’m at the end of my first year I can proudly say that I have fulfilled my goal of getting to know many of my co-workers and forming a bond with most of them. I’ve learned many things from my co-workers. They’ve given me advice about school and how I should carry myself through the future. For that, I can’t thank them enough on how much of an impact they have made in my high school experience.

It is so surreal that a new chapter of my life is just around the corner. I have been preparing and planning my college career since I was ten. I remember when I was traveling to see my grandparents in St. Louis, I found the college of my dreams. My father and I were driving through downtown when he tells me to look out my window. I was in awe of the beautiful campus I saw. I start to become envious of the students coming in and out of the gothic style buildings. Without my dad telling me anything about the school, I knew that's where I wanted to go. The school is called Washington University in St. Louis and I have an interview there this July and plan to apply as an early decision.

College- the most wonderful place to be. They tell you college is where you meet the people you are going to spend the rest of your life with. It is also the place where you are driven insane with a load of school work, a sport, and a job. I am in college because both of my parent went to college. I never knew it was an option not to go to college, until I was already here. Now that I have been sucked in to four or eight more years of education, I have set several goals: to keep the highest GPA that I can manage, to have a full course load each semester, to graduate with a degree that I am both proud of and am interested in, and to make memories that will last me a lifetime.

When I reached the ending years of high school I hadn’t yet known completely what I wanted to make a career out of nor had I chosen what I wanted to study in college or even what college I wanted to attend. When I finally figured out my future it was then that I had realized what bad shape my resume was in. I wasn’t the type to join any clubs because none interested me (excluding the culinary arts club) and I didn’t have any amazing academic accomplishments because school didn’t interest me. However that doesn’t mean I had nothing, I had challenges I had endured, responsibilities which built my character, and a growing ambition in the world of business.

Graduating in the top 5% of my class and early acceptance into a pre-civil engineering program has fulfilled two of my high school education goals. As I enter Oregon State University, I will work toward a Bachelors of Science degree in Civil Engineering with a dual major in Sustainability. After I obtain my Bachelor’s of Science Degree I want to continue with my education and work toward a Master’s degree in a field related to Project Management.
