Community Service Admissions Essay

Do you you think students should be required to volunteer in their communities to receive their high school diplomas?

At Tompkins Cortland Community College, I maintained a 3.37 GPA, qualified for the Dean’s List in two semesters, and graduated with honors. As a reflection of my abilities at the time, I would say that despite my achievements, my GPA was not as high as it could have been. None of the classes were overly challenging and I was dedicated to my studies, but my job took up valuable time. On average, I worked thirty-eight hours a week in order to support myself in college.

To know me is to love me. I am Rhonda Veronica Williams a Graduate Student at Chicago State University, enrolled in the Masters of Science in Geography with a double concentration in Geography/Sociology. Futuristically, I would love to teach the Social Sciences to high school students, such as Geography, Geography Information Systems, Urban Planning & Public Policy to all high school students.
