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.

Before reading the Andrew Delbanco book, College: What it Was, Is, and Should Be, my view of Liberal Arts education was positive. A Liberal Arts education consists of a curriculum based in the sciences and humanities while maintaining the freedom to pursue interdisciplinary study. Studying at a university with such a curriculum and freedom can be compared to an all-you-can-eat buffet; the student attending would not need to commit to a single area of study, trapped in confined course-load in one building on campus. Rather, that person could dish a little bit of business, with a side of art history, and a healthy helping of biology onto their academic tray and consume to their heart’s content, scraping the sides of the university in order to

I am from the Williamsville and am a product of the exceptional education provided by Williamsville Schools. I attended the Williamsville schools from Kindergarten to Grade 12. I admire the academic excellence of New York Education and I especially admire the Williamsville Central School District. It would be an honor to teach your students. I admire a district that maintains high educational standards and provides students with opportunities to meet academic and emotional needs.

2. Going to a liberal arts college is like training for the Olympics without knowing what event you are going to participate in. You have to make sure that you are the best you can be in every way. You would have to be a great runner, swimmer and even

A liberal arts education consists of many things. It can include literature, foreign languages, history, philosophy, religion, mathematics, science, and also psychology. Every area of study benefits each student, regardless of their major. Students learn from every course they take.

Liberal Arts also nurture other hidden talents that the student might not have realize before attending that said liberal art college.

The Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts at the New School stands out to me over other liberal arts colleges due to its unique classroom dynamic as well as strong focus on academic freedom and social justice. I am excited that The New School gives students the ability to personalize their major and pick classes appropriate to their interests. I value this academic freedom since it will allow me to explore and expand my interests as well as enlighten me in fields I am unfamiliar with. Lang’s focus on intellectual freedom will allow me to expand on prior knowledge, but also allow me to branch out and take more academic risks. Lang encourages this risk-taking by giving students control of shaping their own major. With this ability I will be able to learn from risks I take and find new values to my education, and

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.

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.

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 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.

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
