Dual Enrollment

Primarily in my academic career, I found myself completing assignments and studying for tests to receive the 100% my parents wished to see. However, as high school rolled around, my forte shifted from doing busy school work to more creative and inquisitive thinking. Engaged mostly in business and history courses, my grades began slipping in other subjects. I still masked intelligence in different subjects but my customary routine of finishing homework began diminishing. I would excel in some classes but suffer in others, which is why my GPA doesn’t meet the requirements that Kelley has set out for its

I am currently enrolled at Thornton Academy as a Junior. Since I had all of my credits completed I had an opportunity to start dual enrollment classes. Last semester I completed psychology 101, and received an A. This semester I am enrolled in a English composition class, my current grade is a B+. I am also currently taking seven classes at Thornton Academy. Next year as a senior I am planning to take all dual enrollment classes, to get ahead on my career.

This scholarship will help me get a head start in college. It will also help me to reach my career goals in the medical field.

The Dual Admissions Program would support my future goals by providing me with the education needed to prepare and train me for an enthusing profession in osteopathic medicine. As the university with the first osteopathic college established in the southeastern United States, I am awaiting an incredible experience in the Dual Admission Osteopathic Medicine Program. At an utmost level of merit and in a supporting environment of research and intellectual activities, it will permit me to practice and interact with other health professions students. Its distinctive curriculum offering academic and clinical training will prepare me for the true world of medicine. This will aid me in my path towards becoming an exemplary physician.

I am a full time Dual Enrollment student from North Fort Myers high school. I enrolled in Florida Southwestern State College to earn college credits towards my Associates in Arts (AA) degree in General Studies. This opportunity is amazing, and I am grateful for it, as I can further my education more so here than I ever could in high school. I also get to attend all my classes free of charge, allowing me to get a head start on college and avoid some debt along the way. I have always wanted to attend college and have been working hard in school ever since to be where I am today.

I was not one that I was excited for but I did teach me and reinforce some valuable lessons. For starters I learned that sometimes in life you have to do things in life that you do not necessarily like or want to do. It also gave me a slight taste of the amount of independent work and research I would have to do if I choose to prosue a career in a legislative field. In addition to having to do things I don’t like and giving me a glimps into the future, this project stressed the importance that college is not always about having fun. My overall goal is to graduate and that means that sometimes I may have to miss out on certain events. Most importantly this project let me know that the only thing standing in the way of my success is myself. I can achieve anything that I put my mind to all I have to do is fight the urge to procrastinate and work

Coming into Iowa State, I was deadset on becoming a dentist. I was going to graduate from Iowa State with a high GPA, score high on the DAT, and get accepted to a great dentistry program. After taking my first biology and chemistry classes, that plan quickly changed. I was working a part-time job, but other than the 15 hours a week, I was hardly productive. I ended my freshman year very discouraged with a 2.60 GPA. I then switched my major to marketing with a second major in management. I knew that it was a lot easier for a GPA to go down than up, so it was time to buckle down.

I feel like I've learned a lot of thing from this class that I probably would have never thought about before. Firstly, I learned how community colleges work and about some of the policies they go by. I also learned about a lot of different career options that I never explored before. I think this really helped to open my eyes to all the options so I'm not limiting myself. Lastly, and most importantly, I learned about ways of managing stress and my time. This is something I have always struggled with and now I feel like I have the tools to change. I think this will really improve many things in all areas in my life but especially school. It was really great to hear everyone's dreams and goals as well as their stresses. It just shows that

I have had a few life circumstances that have affected my GPA that is not on my record. When I first started school, I was too immature. I had gotten through high school without studying, and figured I was going to do the same as before. Not understand how important college was to the rest of your life put me in a great hole. I simply took college for granted. After my suspension, I grew up and realized I need to be as serious as I can be. Wanting to be in healthcare, there is no room for selfishness. The first few semesters back from suspension I was working to get into nursing school. I decided not at the last minute. It just did not feel like a good fit for me, and I switched to working towards a general biology degree while

My GPA is not a 3.0 or greater, much of the reason for that is because I was battling depression that started during my senior year in high school. My first few years in college it was very hard for me to focus on school because I did not even want to wake up in the morning. I was very unhappy with my life and eventually went to see the school psychiatrist. I was even admitted to a hospital for suicidal tendencies. My overnight stay there, seeing others battling depression, was enough for me to realize I was wrong for my suicidal thoughts. Even so I was not in the right mind set to be in school and my grades were suffering because of it. I decided to drop out and take time off.

Dual enrollment involves high school students taking college-level classes at either a high school or college campus and earning credits toward both high school diploma and college degrees. One of its purposes is to warm students up for their future institutions. This is important because the more prepared they are, the less time they will waste on adjusting. Another purpose is to increase students’ academic strength; what and how much they learn will decide how well they will perform academically. Dual enrollment programs also aim to help students graduate college in time or even early because taking college classes in high school is essentially extending the time spent in college, giving students extra time to explore themselves and earn

What a long year with Mr.Dresner, this year consisted of a bunch of bumpy roads. The things I liked most about the class was the freedom he gave us. The more we got into the school year Mr.Drenser became more open-hearted and less aggressive towards his favorite class. Taking this course greatly benefited me; it improved my writing skills, and strengthened my vocabulary. Look at it this gaining college credit while you're in high school can guarantee that you'll be more successful than the other incoming freshman’s. At Miami Norland Sr. High you would usually see your teacher at least 2 or 3 days out of a week. Each class period would be about 90 minutes. During the time we would be on the computer or cellular devices doing some research on the next upcoming project. In this dual enrollment class you are responsible for turning in your work. I also liked how we were able to submit our work online. The class was 50% virtual. This gives me more extra time to do other things such as my after school activities. I would recommend this class to anyone. The connection with our teacher really took us a long way, not only in the classroom, but outside in

I would like to address my low GPA during my time at San Jose State University from 2007-2011. There were two major obstacles that impacted my GPA during my undergrad studies. My first challenge was the ability to finance my education as I took the responsibility to work a full-time job during school in order to support my family as well as my education. In addition to the financial struggles, a close family member was diagnosed with lung cancer which took my time away from focusing on schoolwork. Managing my time became very difficult as I was traveling back and forth to be provide my support. I found myself in a position where everyone was relying on me for a solution.
