Degree Programs

I am currently enrolled in three AP courses and made the Distinguished Honor Roll for the first marking period of the 2016-2017 school year. Because I’ve been able to learn from my mistakes I will enhance the values of Towson University through making more personal growth, allowing me to help those around me by being proof that you should never give up on yourself. Although I spent the past months questioning whether I should even bother applying to college because of my below average GPA, I know that have grown and changed. I know what I am now capable of accomplishing. Knowing that it was never too late to change my future has made me the person I am

I have always known that I wanted to attend a top-tier university. The other details came later; the small size, the proximity to an urban hub, and my major itself. For a while, I was convinced that it would not happen; that I just wouldn’t get in. Now, I realize that I have an opportunity to do so. This is an opportunity I do not intend to waste.

When people hear the word “college”, many panic inside at the thought. But, when I hear the word “college” I think about Illinois State University. In early July, I attended an Open House at ISU for my very first official college visit. As I stepped onto campus, I couldn’t but help to feel like it was my future home. Many aspects of the tour made me draw nearer to choosing this college after finishing my High School career. Illinois State University seems to fit my personality very well, has an amazing program for what I want to study, and is an outstanding campus for my academic strengths and weaknesses.

Last summer, I hiked the Appalachian Trail with my wonderful partner Travis—who graduated from WCU with a Bachelor’s in Psychology. This was our first big hike together on the AT; spanning over 400 miles in just about 30 days. It was an incredible experience that grounded me and influenced a new-found discipline that only genuinely wholehearted, physically-taxing effort can provide. I was enlightened to my own personal values, goals, and abilities in such a way that I could analyze them as a network, as opposed to individual aspects of my life. I uncovered my path to continue wholly dedicating myself to my studies and my ambitions; I found what was truly important to me and what I truly wanted. Within this experience, I resolved to have “West Chester University” on my

Education is one of the most valuable things a person can have access to, and I cherish my opportunity to come to a university such as this one. Being in the Quinlan Business Honors Learning Community with an expedited graduation date has meant putting in more time and effort than the average student. However, I am incredibly proud of all I have learned and achieved in the last three semesters.

Coming to Virginia Commonwealth University with a major in social work has been one of the best things I have done in the year of 2016. I can remember awaiting my acceptance into Virginia Commonwealth University and instantly choosing to attend. For the remainder of my senior year of high school, I couldn’t wait to pack up and leave for VCU. Before I knew it, it was August 20, 2016, move-in day. Aside from leaving my parents and hometown, I was a bit upset about having to quit my job, the anxiety of being a broke college student hit me before I even stepped on campus. On move in day I was a bit anxious and a little nervous to leave my parents but at the same time I was ready to leave and explore something new on my own.

Throughout my five semesters at Delaware County Community College I have grown beyond all expectations. I never anticipated to become as involved as I did within the Delaware County Community College Community, but because of that I have been blessed with many opportunities that have shaped me into the person I am today. I aim to be as involved within the Neumann Community as I was in the Delaware County Community to not only better myself but to better the college itself. I hope to make an impact as best I can not only through my involvement in extracurricular clubs and activities, but also in the classroom with my fellow classmates.

During my career at SUNY Orange, I have grown by leaps and bounds. I have mastered my short comings, earned a 3.5 GPA, made the Dean’s list three semesters and running, earned the Peter Albergani Inspirational Scholarship, and I was selected to attend the Exploring Transfer Program at Vassar College. SUNY Orange has opened many doors for me, doors I did not even know existed. I was not sure that I wanted to attempt to get my Bachelor’s degree, seeing as just getting my Associates degree was more than I ever imagined I would accomplish. That all changed when I was given the opportunity to experience what it would be like to attempt learning at a four year institution.

"Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself." - John Dewey. This quote has inspired my decision to transfer to Rutgers University School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. I will forever be grateful to Fairleigh Dickinson University for accepting me and allowing me the opportunity to obtain a scholarship, if it was not for the full ride I would not have been able to attend college. Turns out Fairleigh Dickinson University did not offer me the opportunity to study my intended major, meteorology. In high school, I felt limited because I was in a program that was not suitable to my interests. I feel the same here at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

I agree to some degree with this article. Some colleges do need to change their priorities to reflect a changed attitude towards undergraduate learning. This should be their main purpose. However, I don’t think that tuition should be free. It’s not other people’s responsibility to pay for one's education. There are other ways to pay for college, like scholarships, if people need help, so people should take responsibility in doing so. This connects with other articles that we’ve been reading that say that schools and colleges are standardizing and categorizing things too much. They say that they need to change because they see only some things as having worth, such as the sciences, while they don’t see others as having any worth. In all of these
