Hillsdale Personal Statement

I am a student at Valley Prep Academy (VPA) in Fresno, California. I am 12 years old and I have been at this school for three years. This is the best school I ever been to! I want this classroom to be comfortable as it can be. For this to happen we would like it if their is alternative seating. At (VPA) we have also have gotten all our school and office supplies from Staples.

First the college life has so much community behind it. Hope has just enough students on campus, were you feel at home. Another reason, is the small class size. Going to a liberal arts college allows to students to flourish in their learning. It also allows students to develop relationships with their teachers. Liberal arts schools truly allow students to feel like a student rather than just another number. Many students at big universities fall into the huge crowds and are just a number. At Liberal Arts college, you individual.

The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) would be a great fit for me because of its vast amounts of areas I could potentially study. Currently, as I am undecided with a narrowed list of potential majors, LSA would be able to give me a fantastic liberal arts education, allowing me to discover subjects and possible careers which interest me.

I was drawn to Bates, initially, because I knew I wanted to attend a small liberal arts college. A liberal arts education is very important to me. Being undecided as to my area of study, I know a liberal arts education, like a Bates education, will allow me to explore several interests, challenge myself, and grow. I also know that a liberal arts education will expose me to the humanities and the sciences, will continue to teach me how to think critically, and will help me develop lifelong skills.

In today’s liberal arts education, as opposed to a specialized degree or education, students receive a quality education that has a

From the moment you start kindergarten you are being prepared for what comes next, every year without fail you are asked the same question, “What do you want to do when you are older?” in reality you have no idea what is in store for you. Nobody warned me about all of the choices you had to make when it came to picking the right school, technical schooling, a state school or Christian Liberal Arts. I was fully confident about picking USF, but then I constantly got the question of “Why?”, the easiest response was to just say “I like purple!” and move past the question. I never really stopped to think about the amazing opportunities a Christian Liberal Arts school would have, I just took it as a plus that I was allowed to openly worship God and know that other students were here to do the same. A Christian Liberal Arts education is beneficial in every aspect of life, from vocational to avocational, to purposes and values remain constant.

The Arts and Sciences curriculum is especially attractive to me, given the diversity of my interests. No matter what major I eventually pursue, the well-rounded liberal arts education I receive would provide me with the depth of knowledge and an all-inclusive range of skills. The curriculum’s concentration in providing its graduates with the ability to examine intellectual concepts in a real world context, in addition to analytical

Why am I interested in attending the JC/LISD Academy? This question has be reverberating in my mind since my first attendance at an informational dinner in eighth grade. The concept of being able to thrive and excel in a College environment at such a young age enthralled me even then, though I lacked the maturity and willpower needed to take on such a responsibility in the eyes of my parents. Continuing on the standard educational path to ninth grade, I couldn't help but feel that I was missing out on an excellent opportunity. Was I just going to end up as another generic unit on the conveyor belt of our secondary education system?

Liberal arts teaches skills such as critical thinking, communication, problem solving, and working in a group setting. These skills will help me in the future by making me a valuable employee in any field I decide to go in. Plus, taking a variety of classes will help me decide what I like and what I don’t. This will aide me by deciding what I want to major in and what future jobs I might enjoy.

Like many young people, I had very little idea about what I wanted to pursue for a career when I enrolled at Minnesota State University Moorhead (MSUM). One of the benefits of liberal arts requirements is that you have the opportunity to take classes that you might otherwise overlook. For me it was a course in human biology. Taught by a charismatic and enthusiastic professor, the course I took only to fulfill my liberal arts requirements became the course that started me down a career path in science.

I believe that what makes a person who they are is based off the way that person was raised and how they want to acted. I think school can help in some matters when they are younger but once they turn a certain age that person need to decide for themselves what they would like to learn and do. There is a statement that William Cronon makes that people with liberal arts can talk with anyone which I do not believe. I think that a liberal arts student could use more challenging words but anyone can talk to whoever they want no matter what education they may have received. The other remark that William Cronon made was about how liberal art people know how to listen and hear better which I disagree with because I feel like people are going to listen to the things they want to listen too. I think liberal arts education can open you to new ideas but I do not think that liberal arts will change a person’s way of thinking. In “Sustainability: the Ultimate Liberal Art” by Frank H.T. Rhodes, mentions that if schools want liberal arts to be enforced than the professors need to get together and discuss how they want to teach the students. I would say the USP courses could be better if the teachers got together and talked about how they plan on using the significant question and what they are going to

I would like to apply for Summer Statistical Research Experience Undergraduate Program. I heard about this internship from my Math professor, Dr. Julie Clark. I am an international student from Nepal. I intend to major in Mathematics & Statistics, and Environmental Science at Hollins University. I have a comprehensive background in Mathematics and Science, my emphasis is research and data collection. I enjoy this concentration because I find great satisfaction being part of the problem solving process.

The uncomplicated version? Los Angeles is magnificent. Of course, this is a monumental choice—but Occidental makes it effortless. Though the liberal arts ideology has always appealed to me, my research revealed many so-called liberal arts colleges were no different from such-and-such university. Occidental is explicitly loyal to my axioms: open-mindedness, self-awareness, and ethical decision-making. The curriculum is exceptionally flexible, preparing students without leading them to the end—it’s not just a diploma mill. Notwithstanding the preceding, Occidental offers at least three majors centered on politics and as a private school, is not beholding the often vacillant wills of government that seek to censor or otherwise deprive students

The liberal arts curriculum and small student body at Hood strongly appeal to me. I started off at a large public university and did not feel a strong sense of community. Hood College would be the ideal institution for me as the small class sizes would enable me to work together with the other students and form close connections with the professors. I believe a liberal arts education will leave me well-equipped with a diverse and valuable set of skills for the workplace. If granted the opportunity, I am confident I will thrive in the collaborative and challenging environment at Hood.

As a liberal student, you will study a variety of subjects, looking at the world and its people from various points of view. I’m attending to Houston Baptist University in seek of a Biology Degree. Since, Houston Baptist University is classified as a liberal art school, the experience has not been what I
