Goals Of Getting Into College

By working on this portfolio I have learned new resources that are useful to me now and in the future. For example, many reliable websites for scholarships, job offerings, and

College is expensive. No one can pay for it by themselves unless they’re a millionaire. What about the people who actually need help? I am one of those people. If given a scholarship, how will it benefit my education? If I was given a scholarship, it will benefit me in reaching my educational goal by motivating and pushing me to do better to make the organization proud and it will grant me the ability to get everything I need because it will not have any limitations to what I can do with it.

The three strategies I believe to be crucial for success in college would be, reading and understand your syllabus, attending your classes, and choosing a good seat. Your syllabus provides you with crucial information to succeed in that class, important dates, how to get in contact with professors and classmates. Every class is different and every professor have their method of grading, teaching and expectation, your syllabus will guide you thru that. The second key strategies would be attending all your classes. For me I easy get behind and have a hard time catching back up, so attending all my classes is a must. the more classes I miss the more homework I’ll have, I am already busy with work and family that adding extra homework would be

College is a time unlike any other in our life, like high school, middle school, nor elementary school where students can just turn everything in at the end of the fourth quarter. College academics, especially in the first term, will be the most difficult because it is new material that students have never seen before. Plus, they’ll be facing much higher expectations for performance and the expectation that they are the one responsible for their own motivation and success. Unlike high school, college expects students to build their education from the bottom up, rather than regurgitating whatever facts a teacher feeds he/she students. This means much more work than they are used to. As a college

I am a senior in high school and I am learning what I want to do with my life and what college I want to go to and how I apply for it. The major that I want to go into is Registered Nursing which is a good thing to know going into college and if that college has it which mine does offer. I am about to explain the steps to get in the college of Stephen F. Austin (SFA). The steps are the application process, housing, and then the financial Aid package. It is very important to do all of the steps as early as possible because if you do not, there might not be a spot open for you when you are ready to apply for college.

Though it is not easy to work and finish college at the same time, I decided to pursue my degree and finish it this time because I wanted to have a sense of security that will keep me in good position to support me and my family. Due to unforeseen circumstances couple of years ago, I had to deviate from my goal as an IT professional, I think now is a good time as any to finish my degree and achieve my goals. Also, I believe it will give me a sense of happiness of an achievement and encouragement to achieve something greater in life.

College is a very important part of your life because it is going to prepare you mentally and physically for your future. And it’s important to make yourself well known, some students take the identical basic approach to college as they used in high school, relying on the same strategies to manage their learning, activities, and social life. But college is an entirely different ballgame so to speak. (Jonathan pluckers) Collage is a bit of a paradox when it comes to being successful. We act as if success and failure are up to you and you alone. And they often are especially compared to high school, where students have teachers, counselors, coaches and family members among others to look after them.(Jonathan Pluckers) In collage at least initially those people who “have your back” often aren’t automatically present.(Jonathan Pluckers) But if your

Throughout my life, I have faced many memorable moments, but it has not always been a walk in the park. My family has always valued the system of “working hard to get what one wants.” I too have inherited my parent’s philosophy, but I do not strive to follow the paths they have taken. Because neither of my parents had the opportunity to attend college, they have trouble understanding why I am so persistent in taking a different route. While I know they will support me in anything I aspire to accomplish, they do not understand why I save the money I work for towards tuition fees or stay up late at night writing essay after essay. I am dedicated and passionate towards my goal to become a college graduate because I am striving to live the life

All throughout high school, students are told by teachers that if they set goals for themselves then they can achieve it. They just have to work hard for their goals in order to reach them. Since goals are so important to succeed in life, I’m planning to keep a grade average of ninety in Mrs. Allen’s class all year, also I plan to score a twenty-five or higher on my ACT test, and lastly I’m planning to be accepted into Tyler Junior College before I graduate high school.

Attending college is very tough. the percent of college dropouts is increasing every year because students are not able to handle the workload or they do not have the money to pay for it. 37.9% of students that enter a 4-year college drop out and 58.3% that goes beyond that fail to make it. The goals that I set for myself while attending college is not only to make a name for myself on campus but to withstand adversities that will try to steer me to that 37% or that 58% of not finishing what I have started and motivate other to do the same.

One of my major goals in high school is to get into college. Now, this might seem trivial, as these days two out of every three high school students enroll in college immediately after graduation. What’s the big deal? Well, I don’t want to just go to any old community college or public university, I want to go to the top schools, the Ivy League, Stanford, MIT, and schools of equal prestige. This is a way to a successful future.

Enrolling for college was a huge step for me personally. I will be writing about my goals that I want to achieve, and the way I will be achieving them. By writing out my plan for college success, I will be able to look at it periodically and refresh what my goals and motivation are for graduating at Columbia Southern University.

Scholarships, for some are not necessary to help them achieve their goal, but, for others can decide what they choose to pursue in the future. Growing up, I was taught that hard work, desire, and kindness are values to live by to help reach goals. All of those beliefs are ones that I solely owe to my grandfather. He was the one who supported my childhood because my mother birthed me when she was young and was incapable of independently providing for me, financially and, for that, I will never fall short of living truly to these values. These morals are all precious, but cannot be exchanged to purchase anything; receiving a scholarship from Hampton Roads Pride will help me to become closer to achieving my goals in life.

This school year I have several things to consider so that I can gain the most out of this school year, and be prepared for any college classes I will take next year and in the following years. I have numerous academic goals for this class and high school as a whole that I need to accomplish this year that will require a great amount of effort. There are also many things that I do outside of school that consumes a significant amount of time. When thinking about how I will undertake everything that needs done this year, I must take into consideration my activities inside and outside of school and if I can perform both but not sacrifice in either area.
