Georgia Tech's Influence On Education

There are a multitude of reasons I want to attend Virginia Tech, but being reduced to five, I would have to choose the college atmosphere as my top reason. I would love to participate in and enjoy Virginia Tech’s massive football games that are full of life and excitement. The school spirit would truly enhance my experience around the campus and in my social life as well. The second reason is because I want to major in an engineering field, and Virginia Tech is a stellar school for this aspiration. The college’s prestigious ranking in engineering fields is more than enough to convince me to attend. Another reason I want to attend Virginia Tech is because it is my ambition to genuinely love my career path, and I think Virginia Tech is an ideal

Emory offered me something no other school I was accepted to could; it allowed me to study finance and film. Emory also has the perfect location. It is in Atlanta, where many movies are being filmed due to the tax credits in Georgia. This makes getting a job or internship easier. My grandparents and cousins also live in Dunwoody, 25 minutes from campus. This made me feel better about leaving home as I knew there would be people close by if I ever felt homesick. Emory is also the perfect size campus for me. It is large enough to feel like a college not a high school, but small enough to get around campus by just walking. Once here, I discovered you always run into someone you know on campus no matter where you go.

Going to Louisiana Tech would mean a whole lot to me. Louisiana Tech got the be engineering program. I also feel like it’s a great school for me to attend. I see myself going here would help me out a lot with education and skills to become a successful engineer. Louisiana Tech will make a big step in my life when I’m done with my major.

In life some students does not know which college to choose. Some of their questions are, “Maybe I should choose this college because it is cheaper and closer to home” or “Maybe I should go to this college because it is great, expensive, and there’s a lot of fine people there. If it would me in this situation, I would chose the college that is cheaper and closer to home. This is the reason I chosed Ogeechee Tech over Southeastern Tech.

In the 1720’s the state of Georgia was founded by James Oglethorpe in his humanitarian pursuits. Ever since its creation the state of Georgia has seen its politics drastically changed and filled with controversy. Ranging from the disreputable Yazoo Land Deal scandal, civil war, plantation society. Civil Rights movement, Dominant Democratic South, and to modern day’ Republican Georgia. In 1730 a charter was given, so that a settlement could be established on the Savannah River. With his 120 follower which consisted of settlers, entrepreneurs, and adventures Oglethorpe established the 13th British colony. At the start Georgia did not use slavery, however due to its massive amount of farmland slave were brought in to work several years later.

West Georgia Technical College is located in Waco, Georgia and is the state 's third-largest technical college. As part of the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG), West Georgia Technical College (WGTC) is a rural two year public technical institution located in the west Georgia area with campuses in Douglasville, Murphy, Waco, Carrollton, Lagrange, and Newnan. Additionally, the college is principally a commuter campus. The college was formed on September 4, 2008 from a merger of West Central Technical and West Georgia Technical colleges. The State Board of the TCSG a voted unanimously to merge 14 technical colleges statewide into six institutions. The union formed the new West Georgia Technical College. The college serves the counties of Carroll, Coweta, Douglas, Haralson, Heard, Meriwether and Troup. Heard and Meriwether county locations do not have comprehensive campuses, but do have sites for classes.

Therefore, I believe that Texas Tech is best choice I can ever make. If they accept me, that’s even better. The reason why, is because I want to go study in a place that will take me away from all the problems at home and give me a whole different experience. I’ve done so much these past four years. To just being a freshman, to now being a senior representing so many organizations. Every teacher has known me as an exceptional student without any

Students, after high school begin their journey into adulthood. They either go into the workforce, join the army, travel abroad, or even take time away from school. While other students continue to a higher education in majors such as biology, mass communications, musical performance, and other concentrated areas to help prepare them for careers. However, students are left with the choice of deciding which institution they should choose, such as going to a college that is close to home, or going to a college that is in another state. Middle Georgia State University, one of the several universities in Georgia differ from an institution like Wesleyan College based on diversity, size, and most importantly tuition cost.

From the moment I stepped onto Georgia Tech's campus, I sensed a certain atmosphere of excitement and creativity. I felt that exciting and innovative things are happening. I instantly knew that Georgia Tech can equip me with the knowledge and education I need to better effect the world around me. Georgia Tech feels like a place where I can be challenged, educated, and intellectually

I never knew anyone who had attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which made the entire visiting trip feel personal and unique. My initial undergraduate major fluctuated between the business and engineering world. I was constantly reminded by my parents about how the typical college student changes their major six times, so I had a desire to pursue a school with a plethora of options. Luckily, the University of Wisconsin-Madison had top tier programs in both fields.

During the Steps 2 College program provided by the University of North Georgia, Gainesville Campus, my Education 2120 class and I were to provide 20 hours of observational field experience in the classroom. From the many course options provided for the program, I choose to spend my time in the Environmental Science course which was located in the Nesbitt building in room 1213. The classroom setting was a darker than normal classroom, but was formatted auditorium style, with all seats facing the front of the class towards the smart board. This was a new experience for the students. Only the first row was used in class due to having a class size of only 7 students. The ratio of boys to girls was about even with 4 boys and 3 girls in the class. All the students were Hispanic, with the only diversity being the teacher and the teachers assistants present. They were all bilingual, knowing their native language of Spanish as well as English except one student who only knew English. All the students in our class came from Banks County High School. Banks County High School, located in Homer, Georgia, is the only high school within its county, with an enrollment rate of greater than or equal to 800 students annually (usnews,2015). Banks County High School has a national ranking of Bronze. Here is the breakdown of the demographics provided by (usnews,2015) and the National Center for Education Statistics of the school:

Georgetown University is my first choice college for numerous reasons. The first, and likely the most obvious, is it’s phenomenal academic reputation. Georgetown is the pinnacle of higher education in the United States, and this is shown with two US Presidents, 24 US Governors, and countless others that have been successful both inside and outside of the classroom attending the University. The academics that Georgetown has to offer will better prepare me for life after college, and thus would let me make more of an impact on the world. Not to mention that I will be surrounded by thousands of peers that will hold me to the highest expectation possible in order to succeed.

I know that Texas Tech has a solid engineering program there, it will give me the opportunity and success to be a great Engineer in the future. Also not because my family is relocating to Lubbock that I fell in love with Texas Tech, it was your professors. Specifically speaking Dr. Jeff Hanson,

Virginia Tech is ranked among the top ten percent of world’s best universities. As a Hokie, I will obtain a high quality education that will serve as the foundation for my future.

Spelman College, the number one HBCU. Being able to say that statement and then being able to say you attend this school is even more satisfying and reviving to life. When you are ranked high in any position it can be exhausting. However, it also reminds you how hard you have worked to be there and how farther you are striving to reach. I love Spelman because being here reminds you that you are great, but also remind and encourages the idea that you can always become
