College Curriculum Statement

I believe that the mission of providing an excellent education for all students is one that is perfectly aligned with my past and future. Growing up I in a lower socioeconomic environment in Dallas, Texas I became the first person in my family to go and finish college. After obtaining my Bachelor in Psychology, I then became the first person in my family to go to graduate school. YES Prep believes that there is a transformative academic and social benefit for students when their teachers and leaders reflect a diversity of backgrounds and I believe that I can do just that. Working with YES Prep will help me help those who are like myself and more. I have always had a knack for helping others and this would be a great opportunity to continue

Our society revolves around the intelligent and prestigious; not because they make more money or demand respect due to their title, but because the amount of knowledge and experience they portray to the community does not only benefit their own livelihood, but ours as well. To reach these levels of prominence, being a college graduate will increase your chances of doing so. Although college expenses might seem overwhelming, it is a smart investment that will lead to more opportunities, such as higher paying jobs, rewarding intellectual aspects, and above all provides a consistent and steady income.

My most significant endeavor since attending community college has been has been protesting Capitol Hill at Washington, D.C. demanding congress to pass a clean Dream Act. As a member of the organization United We Dream, I went with them on a 16 hour long bus trip to the capital from Miami. Once we got to the capital, we went to a local church to practice how the protest was going to happen. At the church, I met many students like myself who all came to voice their demands to congress. During the lunch break, I met a student my age in the same grade. He noticed I was wearing a University of Southern California jacket and asked if I went there. I told him that I was a community college student at Miami Dade College planning on transferring there, that's when he told me he also attended a community college in Colorado and was planning to attend the same university.

Graduating high school was an exciting time, but I felt lost. I wasn't sure of my career goals or what I wanted to accomplish at University. When I first decided to attend community college, I felt hesitant because I did not take the traditional route like my other classmates. However, community college was cheaper and would give me time to figure out the career path I wanted to take.

I am Eduardo Mendoza, and I am 21 years old. My favorite sport is soccer, which I also, coach a soccer team, and this weekend, I made it to finals. I am really happy, and can’t wait for the final. I been taking classes here at Cerritos College for about two years now. Also, I have taken classes at CSULA. I have never taken any Economics class at all, this will be my very first Economics class.

I hope to achieve this goal by the end of Fall 2017, which is this year. After, I graduate, I would like to be a manager for a very big company, and

Pursuing college has always been one of my biggest goals to achieve in life. After high school, I will higher my education by attending college. My ultimate goal will be to one day become a veterinarian. The love and compassion I have for animals plays a big role in choosing this course of study. Growing up on a ranch, I am exposed to animals such as horses, cows, dogs, chickens, and rabbits. Tending to the animals and keeping them in good health gives me the experience I need to see if the veterinarian study is fitting for myself. Furthermore, I plan to attend BYU-Idaho which offers a pre vet course that gives students who are seeking to become veterinarians the opportunity to intern at a vet

I have always been a fun and happy person. I loved to dance, go shopping, hang out with friends,watch movies with my family and go on vacations. Many people go through adversity that change them in significant ways and I was one of them. My way of getting through my issues was going to activities such as dance, cheerleading, and wrestling and it seemed to be working until one day at wrestling practice where I hurt my foot and had to go to the nurse. At the nurses office I had to take a survey that asked if I had ever been sexually assaulted, I answered truthfully and circled “yes.” I figured they would ask me about it however I didn’t expect them to call my mom and social services. I cried

After reading the first few pages of the textbook, it was difficult to select only one topic that caught my attention. In order to save myself from sounding redundant throughout the paper I’ll go ahead and select two topics that stood out from the rest, at least in my opinion.

Education never interested me. My parents weren't bothered if I wasn't into school. As long I got a "C or D" I was safe. It wasn't till I got accepted into the ACE program at Gateway Community College that I started to value my education. This program allowed me to attend Community College while in high school. I grew strict towards my education meaning I no longer just aimed to pass. As I changed my attitude towards my education my parents did the same thing. They no longer tolerated "C's or D's". I noticed once I started to root for myself I seemed to gain support from my peers, teachers and most importantly my parents. Ever since that change multiple doors of opportunities have opened. Of course the journey I took to change my attitude wasn't

How have you been? Its been a long time since I emailed you. How is work and everything going on?

The core curriculum at Army War College and elective experiences are interconnected and supportive in many ways. The JLASS elective is much in support to the Theater Strategy and Campaigning Course (TSC) and European Regional Studies. TSC lessons the Join Operation Planning Process, Operational Art and Multinational Operations were key subject matter to frame and analyze the strategic environment, and to understand the problem. Furthermore, the DIME concept is another very important tool, which allows us to think and bring the different options to the problem. Regional Study was key to understand the relation and strategic dynamics that are going on in Theater of Operations under EUCOM AOR. However, the World Summery challenges and change some of the current security dynamics in the AOR. Create more creativity to think in different way, wicked problem, and moving from the liberal to more realism IR theories. The Regional Study, particularly the EU and NATO lessons were very helpful to understand the strategic decisions and organizational dynamics between EUCOM and NATO. Finally, the connectivity of the core curriculum and JLASS is great mechanism to comprehend and

As I go into my second semester of Northampton Community College my interests have certainly changed. I have turned to a student who thrives to succeed in my current goal which is a stepping stone in my life time goals, this stepping stone is to attend Lehigh University upon completion of receiving my associates degree. With this stepping stone in mind I realized I had to make my academic resume stand out to say the least. I talked to many professors of this goal and they all told me the same thing honors, so I worked my hardest and the work was certainly worth it I got in. That wasn't enough for me though I am going into my second semester with a plan I plan on joining two more academic clubs Phi Theta Kappa and Psi Beta (with my passion for

For the past two years I have maintained a part time job as well as being a full-time student. I have been promoted within my job due to the dedication that I have displayed during the last few years. Due to my busy work and school schedule I have not had the opportunity to become a part of any extracurricular activities. However, I hope to become a part of volunteer services during my time at SF State particularly with children because I have a desire to help children and the community as well as gain experience for my future career as a teacher. Attending college is important to me because I believe it is the best way for me to help others and myself.

Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to have a spectacular career, I wasn't sure which one I wanted, but I knew it had to be something I was in love with. As I got older I realized more and more that a college education would be the essential in accomplishing this goal. Many great careers require a high level college education, therefore getting this education early on will enable me to be successful.
