Eassy On Cataraction

I am aware that college will be challenging, but I will try my very best and I will not give up when times are tough. I know that I can't give into the pressure that may surround me. Knowing that I will have to take another eight years of schooling, I have high expectations that the college I attend to, will prepare me for my greatly acknowledged career and

Before my experience in my College Readiness Program, I pictured going into college a completely different way. I now feel prepared and excited to move into a dorm and be a responsible young adult.

College is an extremely terrifying experience, especially when someone doesn’t know how to maneuver around or choosing the right course or class. Furthermore, it was a great privilege to receive that first letter from The National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS)., Knowing that I’ve been accepted into an honor society that chose someone like myself out of several other qualified students on my campus. That letter gave hope and inspiration for someone like myself the strength to overcome any obstacles, in addition, to being welcomed into this tremendous family that reaches far and wide to help students like myself to accomplish our goals and dream, especially being in the first generation to attend college especially an older adult continuing my

Life is all about choices, and the one choice I knew I wanted to make was to go to college and achieve my educational goals. Knowing that my family could not support my two older sister’s college endeavors let alone mine, I knew I had to act. Throughout my high school years, I applied myself constantly through taking challenging coursework and involving myself in clubs that I was passionate for. All of those years led me to overcome the biggest obstacle a senior student

As I start my journey of being a college student again, I will also learn and not to do the same mistakes I did in undergraduate years. I am eager to see the difference all of this will make, and with a positive mind set know that my time will all work out in the

Ever since I started to seriously think about my future, I had aspirations of getting a degree and becoming a professional. Specific careers have changed constantly, ranging from becoming a teacher to an engineer. As I got older, I began to assess my strengths and weaknesses as well as my likes and dislikes. I know a college education is essential in today’s economy and society. Doors are opened to those with college degrees and a better lifestyle is guaranteed. A college education is not only economically beneficial but intellectually as well, for it provides a unique learning experience as it caters to an individual’s interests

I wanted to be the best I could be; as a result, I found myself taking on adult responsibilities at a young age. While other kids had time for more extracurriculars, I chose to be either working, helping my parents care for my four younger siblings, or studying on my own. I was not forced to excel; I chose to do so because I wanted to do better for my family. Higher education is the opportunity I desire to combine my strengths and passions and apply it to my community. I am seventeen years old, a few months from legally becoming an adult, and my objective is to improve the world I live

As pretentious as it sounds, I don’t think succeeding in high school was particularly difficult. I say this aware of the privilege attached to that statement, but from what I both experienced and witnessed, the simple acts of paying attention and completing assigned work got most people through. Conversely, college will require significantly more time, effort, and discipline, which I intend to embrace because my motivations as a student have completely evolved. Despite the relative ease of high school, I did work hard, but only to uphold my class rank both out of competition and in preparation for college applications. School felt ineffectively structured around testing, and not around actual intellectual growth, contrasting the whole philosophy of college. Now, I sincerely crave knowledge to grow not only as a student, but as a person, to expand my view of the world and attempt to understand its many complexities. Investing in myself, and my future requires more than high school ever would, and that’s fairly reasonable all

After my grandmother passed away a couple of years ago, I knew that I wanted to honor her by completing my degree. She was my hero, my idol, in so many ways. She had her Master’s degree and had worked while raising children during a time when society frowned upon a working, educated mother. As a devout Christian who was very active in her church and her community, I know that she helped to guide me to make this decision and I am confident that it was the right one. Between the thought of her and my readying myself for the next step in my career, I finally feel the motivation necessary to complete this journey. Completion of my educational goals will give me such a sense of accomplishment in my adult

. . was to share the experience of a blind person suddenly restored to sight, so that he could see the world anew.” Even the way in which he approached painting was out of the ordinary. Instead of trying to paint specific objects, Monet broke the objects down into the colors and shapes that made them up. He once gave advice to an American painter in 1890, saying “When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you, a tree, a house, a field, or whatever.

When thinking of the Niagara Falls one thinks of the falls natural and pristine beauty, however in Daniel Macfarlane article A Completely Man-Made and Artificial Cataract, he disassembles this thought. Hydroelectricity and Niagara Falls both became a discussion during the 1880s leading to several boards and treaty and what Macfarlane would deem as a negotiated high modernism. The International Niagara Board of Control dictated the amount of diversions each side got, which throughout the years and historical events increased to the point of public notice. This then lead to the Niagara River Water Diversion Treaty, implemented in October 1950, which was not beneficial to Canada. Due to public notice and the Boundary Waters Treaty, both Canada

Cataract is known as a build-up of protein clouding the eye lens which distorts or blocks the light entering the eye.

As a student, I bring my natural curiosity and strong work ethic that has assisted me in my academic and professional life. I enjoy the active process of learning and look forward to beginning classes in this concentration. While earning my other degrees, I have been an active member of each class, seeking to understand the what, and how of topics studied. I am confident in my ability to complete the coursework required to earn the

As I continue to reevaluate my life and all that I had dreamed and hoped for myself when I reach my mid thirties, I did not think I would be still in school trying to get an education. Reflecting back on my past experiences and decisions I made I would have done a lot of things different. Life seems to bring about maturity, perseverance and determination in people and I believe at this point in my life I am determined to succeed because I have been battling a college degree on and off for the past 15years. Pretty sad to admit but reality has finally set in and I have decided that
