Describe Your Personality Using A Color, Animal, Or An Object Of Your Choice

Second, I have a passion for seeking challenges. Academically, it has been a challenging school year, however, I do not feel challenged in my lifestyle here. With the same comfort as my own hometown, college does not feel different from my high school years. Staying comfortable in college demonstrates there was no change in lifestyle. My passion is not satisfied by having a great level of comfort at Davis. By attending college in a different state, I will expose myself to diversity and new challenges, which I will always welcome into my

As previously mentioned, I have always been drawn towards animals. At the age of six, all the way through high school, I was determined that I was destined to be a veterinarian. Growing up I watched dog training shows and learned about different animals. All of my favorite movies had talking animals in it and given human-like qualities. The more knowledge I gathered, the more I believed animals had rights. I treated all of my pets with love and formed a bond with them, even my pet fish. I used to watch Animal Cops on Animal planet with my grandma and was always appalled at the mistreatment of animals. They have feelings, thoughts, even memories, just as we do. Or, more specifically, just as children do. My dogs in particular have always been my children. The one I have now is more like my baby than previous dogs. We have formed a bond, just like the bond a mother forms with her baby. Pets become part of the family and the best

To many high school students, college seems like a far away land, a mysterious place where everyone wants to be yet not many know how to get there. As children, our parents tell us how much time we have to think about college, and that it is too far down the line to think about. The truth is it is never too early to think about your future. I, like many people, put little thought into my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear. Many of us tend to find out that we only know what we do not want, not what we actually do want. Do we want to be poor? Absolutely not. Do we want a boring job? Of course we don’t. We all want our

I disagree with my review because of the following reasons. When I tested I was given the animal the otter, Otters have a personality to be excitable energetic and the cheerleading type, this is not me. However, I was also given the animal the beaver and I also disagree with this because beavers are said to be organized perfectionist kind of people and this is far from who I am. Beavers are very detail-oriented, orderly and enjoy thoroughness I am more of the go with the flow type person and am far from organized. I would agree more with the idea of me being a golden retriever, golden retrievers are very team oriented, easy going and quit calm type of people. And I feel like these are some of the traits that fit me best. I tend to be very

As a senior in high school the time has come when people begin to ask big and sometimes overwhelming questions like, “Where are you going to college?” and “What will be your major?” These questions, of course, lead to college visits and decisions. The two colleges that seem to meet my criteria are The University of Findlay and Ohio Dominican University. Both colleges have positive aspects, such as having the major that I am interested in as well as being close to family.  However, The University of Findlay seems to be a better fit than Ohio Dominican because it is closer to home and I am familiar with the campus and I grew up on this campus.

With May 1 quickly approaching, I approach a serious crossroad. A major decision is looming. For the first time in my life I have complete autonomy over my next move, and many subsequent choices following. This decision is essential to the rest of my entire life. Of the options presented to me, each and every one have colossal ramifications tied with them. Employment opportunity and financial security, potential life long relationships, and several other consequences are on the line. This begs the question, what exactly am I looking for these next four years and beyond. I have two vastly different options that may be presented to me. On one hand, I can potentially attend University of Michigan, the school I’ve been bred to attend since day one. Also however, I can potentially

It will be hard to know which college is the best for what I am wanting to achieve. This relates to "The Odyssey" when Odysseus has to make the difficult decision between going through Scylla or Charybdis. Odysseus said, “Better to mourn six men than lose them all” and he chose to face Scylla instead of Charybdis. I will have to choose the right college like Odysseus had to choose which monster he wanted to face. He doesn’t know if it is the right decision.

Growing up, I never had a “Dream school”. It seemed as if all of my peers around me knew what they wanted to be or knew where they wanted to attend college. Then there was me, as indecisive as ever. Do I stay in state where I could be close to family, or should I step out of my comfort zone and travel far?

Ever since I was a kid I have always thought about what college I was eventually going to go to. I made the decision in high school that I wanted to be a special education teacher, so I thought about some schools that had that teaching program. My number one school I wanted to attend that had the best teaching program was East Carolina University. Having ECU as my number one choice lead me to apply there. Weeks after I applied I got a letter telling me some sad news that I was not accepted. Since I applied to ECU and did not get in, I was now thinking about applying to other schools like Methodist University or maybe a community college.

How are students supposed to enjoy their senior year when there is a dark cloud called the future hovering over them at all times? Accordingly, during the college decision process, it is essential to take one step at a time. Students that are not set on what career they want to pursue can focus on what they are confident about instead: their talents. The journey in finding the right college can be stressful. In the College Preparation English IV class, there have been several discussions on the pressure that comes with choosing a higher education program and have looked at many different texts on the subject of uncertainty.

However, I am deeply considering majoring in history. I am looking into careers connected with this major, other than education. Several of my history teachers helped to strengthen my interest in history; therefore, I am also considering history education. Other interests of mine that could affect my choice are theatre and perhaps English. I will work hard to earn my degree and work in a career I am passionate about. As for college, I hope to attend IPFW. The campus appeared to be very pleasant and I believe that attending IPFW will be a great experience. I am also applying to Huntington University and have already applied to Ball State. I plan to stay close enough to home that I can commute to campus every day. My parents are extremely important to me and I want to be able to be there for them as they were—and continue to be—there for me. They are such a great support system and I would not have gotten where I am today without their encouragement and love.

For the past year or so, there have been college pamphlets scattered around my car, dining table and room. I have mulled over everything possible, from colleges to majors and minors to careers. It’s been almost mind-boggling. At one point, I couldn’t decide between getting a PhD in Education to be a teacher or go for a biomedical career. I knew those weren’t the avenues I wanted to go down. Yet, the options felt so limited. However, I feel secure in what I have finally decided to do. The reason I never settled before now was because this goal always seemed unrealistic.

I agree that I am a golden retriever because the qualities of a golden retriever match my personality the best. I don’t think any other animals best match me. I don’t think any other animal match me because I don’t have the qualities of the other animal such as lions, otters, or beavers. I believe I possess qualities such as witty, caring, and loving so I am a golden retriever. I am not a conflict maker, but I will make conflict if I am forced to, I am not scared of conflict but try to avoid it. But will face it if need being. I am a quiet person unless we are on a topic I care about, then I will voice my opinion and much more. Generally, don’t talk over people when they are speaking unless talking to a friend. Also, Mrs. Fette told me to add

Shakespeare once said, "We know what we are, but know not what we may be." While I do not know what my future holds or how I will spend the bulk of my adult life, I know that only education will give me the opportunity to detect my interests and enrich my soul. I believe the University will provide me with the perfect atmosphere for bettering my life and my creative abilities.

Where will I make friends? Where will I get an education I can afford now, and an education that will remain valuable for years after graduation?" In choosing the appropriate school to attend a student must take these questions deeply into consideration. What is it that one hopes to gain from education itself? Some students undergo their studies for that slip of paper received upon completion, as that golden ticket to success in the corporate world. I recently read about prime example of this in which a college graduate sued her school for spent tuition claiming that the education received wasn't enough to get the work she wanted. For some college is nothing more than a requirement for a life of prosperity. Other students aspire to gain a better understanding of a beloved discipline, viewing college as the next level of a lifelong pursuit. I personally know people such as this, namely my own uncle who has spent the entirety of his life accumulating degree upon degree. For such people education is a vocation itself. No matter the origins of their reasoning, the ultimate questions that so frequently arise for college students are whether the education is affordable both in money and time investment and whether the value received will be proportionate to the price paid. To put it simply, the goal of every student is attainable change. Life itself is a long process of expanding one’s
