After High School I wish to attend Cal State San Bernardino or Cal State San Marcos and enter into their Athletics Program. To get accepted to these colleges I will maintain my grades and do whatever it takes to get into these colleges. Throughout my journey in High School I have taken numerous honors and Ap classes. I have also been in Extra-Curricular activities such as Cross-Country, Soccer and Track and Field. I have also been in the Performing Arts Department all throughout high school and have performed in numerous concerts for Choir. This October I will be taking the SAT so I have a better chance at being

The topic of this essay is the necessity of postsecondary education. Robert Perry begins his argument by presenting an opposing argument from author Charles Murray. Perry then points out what is wrong with Murray’s argument, and presents an alternative idea. Perry is arguing that there needs to be more colleges, universities, and community colleges to offer Americans the opportunity to receive a higher education, because people with a post secondary education are in high demand.

With all this being said, I’ve always strived to better myself. The best way to accomplish this is to receive a college education. Sadly, college is a big expense for my family, especially due to recent events within the family. Last year for nearly nine months my father was without work because of an injury to his back. This made it hard for us to accomodate so quickly to less income coming in. Now that he is back to work is has been easier but still the hardships aren’t gone. My grandmother has just undergone surgery for her eyes which rendered her blind and is now living with us as she needs close supervision. If awarded any scholarships, it can ease up some of the worries and lighten the

Ever since I could have a clear understanding of the roles doctors play in our society, and to remembering my first doctor's visit I instantly wanted to become one of those woman in a long white coat running around helping patients or performing a procedure. My passion for helping others is something that has empowered me to become a doctor. Because of my passion for helping individuals , my dream of one day becoming a surgeon ,I have decided to further my academic career at Virginia Commonwealth University ( Vcu ) . I plan on attending one of the finest medical schools in Virginia while also maintaining a job and balancing life as a college student and a mother.

That brings me to this year, and it has been nothing short of a blessing. I didn’t do basketball for my senior year, just to get prepared for the vault. I worked out every other day in the winter, letting my body rest in between days and going as hard as possible when I was at the Y. I went two times a week to St. Louis, just to work on everything that I could for this vault season. My passion stemmed from my junior year, and with all the success I had, I just wanted more. I told myself Junior year that I would work as hard as possible over the offseason to get first place at that Illinois College meet. I wanted to show everyone that I could go from dead last my freshman year, all the way to winning the whole thing my senior year.

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. However, there has always been one common element among my aspirations for the future, and that is the desire to engage in and improve the lives of others. This central desire is what leads me to choose Georgetown as the school which perfectly encapsulates my interests.

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.

Early into my second year of high school, I had my eyes set on medical school. I had thought of nothing but. .As such, I research various schools in Michigan and others out of state—looking for the right pre-med program. Finally, after months of research, I applied to the University of Michigan-Dearborn where shortly after submitting my application I received an early admissions letter. Thereafter I completed my final year in high school and soon graduated the following year. Months later during the fall I began my first semester at the university. Once there I declared a Major in Biology but also concentrated on taking the needed classes for the pre-med program.

As you read this essay, picture a country where two out of five children are not in school not because they don’t want to get an education, but rather, because their parents are unable to pay as little as fifty dollars for them to get an education. Growing up in the rural area of a small village called Obagie the south side of Benin City, Edo state, Nigeria was not a pleasant experience. Born into a family of eight, and the first male child of a family that relies only on small farm production, my parents could only afford to send myself and two of my siblings to an underfunded public school. I categorically knew that I would end up getting just a High school education. Since leaving my four other siblings at home was worrisome to me, my younger

I am not going to say that I have been wanting to attend UT, since I was a little girl because I did not even know about this grand school until my junior year of high school. I honestly did not feel like I had a chance to get admitted, so it never really crossed my mind to apply. Everything changed when I saw the ranking I had achieved in my four years of high school, but even then, the closer I got to graduation I became unsure of what path I should take after graduating. I just knew I wanted a career, that allows me to help people. I was actually going to attend Sam Houston after graduation, but I felt deep down inside me it was not the school for me. Instead of going there, I enrolled in some classes at the closest community college by

All my life, I have grown up with a family around me whose furthest level of education was minuscule. They have all tried to encourage me to focus on school so I had options, unlike them. It had never crossed my mind that I had the chance to become what I wanted despite my background until I spoke to my cousin in Mexico. She had just graduated from medical school and had become a cardiologist. She became the first doctor in our family and it was such a rare thing for me. I had always tried my best in school but it was not until that moment that I felt a drive and desire to succeed. Since then I have persevered and pushed myself to continue to learn each and everyday.

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.

Throughout my high school career, I have been faced with many diverse challenges and experiences that have sculpted me to be the person I am today. I take pride in learning new skills, through new opportunities and apply it to improvement for myself and broaden my understanding of the world. I believe that this internship would be not only useful but also crucial in our ever-growing world of technology. Currently, I have no experience in computer science or coding. This is because my school, like many, do not offer computer science focused classes. Despite my lack of experience, it will not limit my efforts or potential and will instead drive me to further excel because of the possible gap between the other internship members and myself.

Looking back upon my life it is hard to pinpoint one moment that stands out as my proudest. However if I had to chose one such moment it would be the moment I received my graduate degree. It was a culmination of all the hard work that I had put into my education and a fitting end to the entire process. I had dedicated a sizable portion of my life to learning and I had achieved what I had set out to do. It was a journey that started my freshman year of High School when I realized that I wanted to follow in the footsteps of both my parents and achieve a graduate degree. While the intention was there I had not yet developed the skills necessary to achieve it. However my workload in high school forced me to adapt. I may not have realized it at the time but a project sophomore year was

As far as I can remember, I have always been driven by my passion to obtain higher education, in order to learn and explore new and exciting opportunities. My education has allowed me to seek new opportunities, explore different fields of study, and discover my potential. I graduated high school with a 94% average and performed extremely well in my first two years at University of Windsor. However, during the last semester of my third year, I was facing some personal challenges, during the weeks leading up to the finals examination. Additionally, during those weeks, I was extremely sick and was not able attend every class, which significantly effected my ability to study and consequently my grades. I did not perform as well as I would had hoped
