College Admissions Essay: My Passion For The Classroom

To begin, I am a very well rounded individual, and although my interests and skills aren’t limited to STEM, I have found that my passion for STEM has made me a better person overall. I live in a very rural part of Canada, and because of this, it can be difficult for me to find things to do, especially when it comes to science and technology. This is why that I have, for the most part, paved my own way and learned most of the things I know about science and technology on my own, simply because these subjects are, to me, among the most interesting in the world. I have an insane drive to put my learning to use so that I can innovate and inspire others to continue their studies in STEM because I have found, through my own personal experience, that

In the passed four years I have realized my passion for learning. Though like every other high school student I love summer vacation, at end of August I am excited and ready to go back to school. I have realized the power of learning and understood that knowledge can take you where you want to go. Not only that but I understand, being a middle-class girl, how lucky I am to have the opportunity of school and the option of college. Nevertheless, it is not that easy. College is expensive where ever you go and no one has thousands of dollars lying around to pay for it all. I have been blessed to have parents who saved some money to help me get through college, yet I will still have debt. Having a passion for learning and going into a science or

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be an elementary teacher. God placed the act of working with kids on my heart when I was very young, and I am thrilled to say that is still where I feel called. I went to a Union elementary school, Moore Elementary, until fifth grade, and the impact my teachers made on me there has shaped me into the person I am today. One of the most influential teachers in my life was my Pre-K teacher, Mrs. Greer. I had the amazing opportunity to go back to Moore and job shadow her. Being around her again made me remember all of the incredible things she taught me, and it was so surreal to see her in action impacting her current students. I am so happy that I got to job shadow her and to watch her from a different perspective than I had being her student. Through this new perspective, I learned so many new things about teaching.

I dreamt of walking on Commonwealth Ave. I envisioned myself entering the Morse Auditorium, books in hand, eager to learn. Ever since I had visited the eclectic city of Boston in 2006, I knew it was the right fit for me. I knew that the city itself, along with the remarkable academic resources that Boston University offers would allow me to grow socially and mentally. Until this day I ask questions on end from my comrades at the BU, impatient to learn more and more about their lives on and off campus. From all the feedback I have received I have come to one conclusion: BU is the place where I will get a rich, broad background in all my studies. BU will give me the foundation and preparation I will need to enter any field of study.

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.

Reading and writing are subjects that when you look back on, you look back to when you were first taught. Whether it was in Kindergarten gathered around the teacher on the story time rug or in first grade when you were taught to write on that special lined paper. We have all mastered reading and writing in one way or another. You even learn to love one or the other, maybe both. For me, I absolutely love to read but I have a hatred for writing! Especially, when I must write stories, poems, school papers or anything of the kind, which is kind of ironic.

When I was little, I would enjoy reading books such as, Henry and Mudge, and also Captain Underpants. These were some books that I was able to understand because of them being less rigorous. As a grade school student, I was never the strongest reader. It was hard for me to understand and comprehend the material I was learning. In class, we would read short chapter books together as a class and take brief quizzes on the chapter then after. I believe the turning point to becoming a substantial reader happened when my family and I moved. I attended a different school in a different school district going entering fourth grade. Switching schools I think has benefitted me, and I think it was good I was still little because I felt as if the new school district I was in, District 303 in Illinois, give students more assistance and one-on-one to help us become stronger readers. When my class would start reading in class, I would step out of class and meet a

I am proud to be a bisexual African American female with a passion for technology. Yet my journey has not been easy. For my mother, my sexuality was difficult to understand. Due to my strict Jamaican background, she not only misunderstood, but she fought with me. Uncovering my bisexuality was read as a war cry. This led her to try everything in her power to stop or revert this from happening. At one point, not even girls were allowed to sleep over. Her behavior felt dehumanizing and these feelings still resonate with me. I have learned that my mother's acceptance is something I will never have, whole-heartedly, due to her unchanged beliefs.

I spent almost my high school life under the shadows of fear. I was continuously bullied throughout with little hope ahead. I was at the breaking point of my life, but my passion for biology saved my life. I hated myself deeply until then. I hoped the world around me to be dead along with my rotten flesh. I never forgotten the beauty of nature. I saw science as a new journey like a fresh start. I am not an elite who can understand how this society of complex systems, but I was able to get a glimpse of how the nature of biological living interacted with myself. I loved it. I will continue to day dream in my conscious thought with science. I need help to reach my goals and stay motivated along the way. Thank

Throughout my years of high school, I have proven to be extremely hardworking. Since graduating eighth grade, I have worked endlessly to obtain money to support my schooling. My mother is a single mom, struggling to pay for my Catholic school education. I have continued to help to pay for some of the many expenses that come with my schooling. I will be paying entirely for my college tuition, which is what I have worked so hard for. My work experience and education have helped me to become the determined and hardworking person that I am today.

Some people find passion in reading books, some people find passion in athletics, and some people find passion in writing. I qualify in obtaining enthusiasm in all of those areas, like many other people in the world, but there was another area where I found excitement that not many people can relate to: the ACT.

I know that receiving a good education can shape me as a person and I hope throughout high school Im able to mature my passion creativity and perseverance. I am passionate in learning because I am able to confidently speak my mind and convey my thoughts in a manner that is easily understood. My education has taught me to see the world from different perspectives, and to me that is invaluable. In high school I want to explore different studies so I can learn more about my surroundings. I believe broadening my range of studies may help me discover subjects in which I am passionate,and may even further progress some of my current

I believe I should be in this class because I’m a hard worker and someone that will never give up and will always try my best. But I can say I’m not the best english student ever but I will never stop trying with that I always want to try to get the best grade possible that I can get.

But don't get it twisted I’m always grades first then games later I think that is what separates from everyone else I want

The story of my passion in law started when I was in primary school. I was and still am really into English. It all started with my English teacher often asked me to read my essay aloud to the class. This somehow boosted my interest, passion and love towards English. From this, my effort into reading and writing never go lesser than it is supposed to be in order to improve my English so that I could read better essays to the class. My love towards reading and writing never fades even after I entered secondary school and did not have to read my essay aloud. What I used to see as an effort to improvement is now a hobby and a way to express myself. Due to my passion and my talent in writing, I was chosen as an editor to an issue of an education section in New Straits Time. I realised at that time how some words on a right medium could give a huge impact. I surely believe that your thoughts are precious and will only help if the channel is right.

Ever since I was young, I have admired intricate buildings and structures. I have always appreciated a nice, well thought out home because I do believe home is where the heart is. I have done lots of research on architecture, and what it takes to become an architect. I am naturally drawn to this career because it requires lots of creativity and an eye for design. Being an architect also allows you to interact with people, which is important to me because I am a social person. It also is a steady job and brings in a good salary.
