My desire as a child to travel the world led me to my education at Pace University, first of my many destinations. The teaching methodology, the process of assigning homework, the serene atmosphere in the campus and the ever-helping faculty and staff have already instilled confidence in me. This has helped me ease out of my comfort zone to explore and innovate. Gaining my higher education in America has exposed me to a whole new set of scholastic vocabularies such as credit hours, GPA, courses, Greek life involving sororities and fraternities and

Franklin University has provided me one of the greatest achievements in my life. I was able to successfully complete my Bachelor Degree in Accounting in December two thousand sixteen. Franklin University provided an online learning environment that accommodated a work and life balance. I realized through Franklin the importance of education and success. In addition, I also realized after graduating with a Bachelor Degree, I want to keep exceling in the field of accounting and continue to grow educationally. To achieve these goals, my next step is graduate school.

When choosing what college to attend I knew I had to go to Spelman. I choose to attend Spelman because of its high scholastic standards for its students and also because of the foundation Spelman bestows among young African-American women. Spelman empowers young women to be the change you want to see in the world. Spelman nourishes students ensuring that they have equal opportunity to be successful. Spelman demonstrates how African American women can not only achieve successful but also gain a sisterhood that will forever live among the students even after graduation. During NSO a quote Dr. Myra Burnett mentioned emphasized on the importance of knowing that you can be and achieve whatever you are willing to work for. Dr. Burnett states, “You can be whatever you want is an incorrect statement however, you can be whatever you are willing to work for. You can have whatever you’re willing to work for” (Burnett). Dr. Burnett explained how you can’t just have whatever you want or choose to be in life without working hard or being willing to do to achieve your goals. It takes hard work and dedication to obtain the things we want in life. Spelman College will impact my life not only through the education but through the high expectations they place upon students from NSO to graduation and beyond.

People feed off of other people. The Ohio State Business Honors Learning Community is a fantastic opportunity to surround myself with other excelling business majors. First of all, I will be able to provide a broad set of interests from theatre, to music, to sports, and to discussion. My diverse background will allow me to reach out to many members of the community both on the business level and the personal level. Along with my broad set of interests, I can bring an up and coming major, (Information Systems,) into the community. With Big Data on the rise, Information Systems has become one of the fastest growing majors in the world. Students with these majors are often the connecting points between management level and IT level. Understanding

Do you happen to know any 18 year olds that have written a research paper on bioterrorism and ways to prepare for a bioterrorist attack? Do you happen to know any 18 year olds that find public health, medical ethics, international relations, public policy, and medical research fascinating? Although such topics may bore some, they happen to excite me! I am currently a student at Christopher Newport University (CNU), and I have realized that the opportunities available to me at CNU are somewhat limited, in comparison to the opportunities George Mason University provides. When I made the decision to go to CNU, I believed that merging pre-med and political science would be similar to a public health undergraduate experience. I soon realized that

Prior to the Civil War, higher education for African American students was nearly nonexistent. The small percentage who did receive education, such as Thurgood Marshall, often studied in informal and sometimes aggressive settings. Some were forced to educate themselves completely. Some schools for elementary and secondary training existed, such as the Institute for Colored Youth, a school started in the early 1830’s by a group of Philadelphia Quakers. A college education was also offered to a limited number of scholars at schools like Oberlin College in Ohio and Berea College in Kentucky. Between 1861 and 1870, the American Missionary Association (AMA) founded seven black colleges and 13 normal (teaching) schools. Many of these

When I was accepted into the Rappahannock Scholars program in the school year of 2013-2014, I began to think differently and transitioned into a mature young adult. Before entering the program, I had considered the academic qualifications to get into college to be the most important. This program, and the advisor, taught me that colleges look for more than just academic interests. They are also interested in work experiences, leadership opportunities, club memberships, and honors and awards.

To conclude, Miami Dade College offers innumerable opportunities, not only to its valued students, but also to its employees. Miami Dade College is a family of change makers and enthusiasts who always aim for greatness. Miami Dade has been the catalyst in my synthesis as a competitive student who refuses to stand still and watch innovation from a distance. This school has taught me to embrace change and adapt to quickly changing situations, since that is what constitutes life. My life has been a chain of events that lead to bigger events, and my stay in the college has been the biggest event that culminated in the fusion of a hardworking, perseverant, competitive, indebted young person with the right tools to flourish. I’m successful because

I wish to attend Texas A&M because the academics and atmosphere promise superlative growth for me during my college education. Because I intend to pursue a career in business, I see the Mays School of Business as the epitome of education. Focused on a business environment that is full of constant change and evolving technical resources, Texas A&M would give me the confidence that I am receiving the most forward-focused business education. Texas A&M provides an atmosphere that would allow my personality to thrive. The campus spirit brings a sense of community and belonging. While walking on campus during visits, I recognize a warm, joyful and welcoming atmosphere that I could call home. The robust loyalty to the University and fellow

Historically Black College and Universities have played a essential role in changing the scene of advanced education in the United States. Today, in a time of quick change, HBCUs confront difficulties and also new snags. Not only does the HBCU itself face difficulties, but being a student at one can definitely be challenging at times. They face multiple issues such as debt, discouragement, and mental illnesses. All of this could affect both their futures, and worth ethics. In order for the students to be career steady, these issues they are facing must be fixed.

Supporting the success for diverse students on campus is just the beginning to make their experience as equal to that of the white community. Without positive campus attitude and without the recognition of what diversity brings to a school and a classroom, the system would not thrive and those of a different ethnic background will not be inclined to attend. The conclusion to Espinosa’s, Gaertner, and Orfields article is that college and university leaders

Understanding “more Americans from every color and creed are now earning college educations so college faculty should reflect that” (Lynch, 2013, para. 2) efforts have been placed to identify areas that would be able to reach diverse groups to include women and minority applicants. These efforts will allow for a further range in a variety of sectors to include job boards, social media outlets, and mobile applications in addition to advertising on the Sincere College Career Site.

Quote 1: “Kala, don’t be afraid to stop and ask for help...Asking for help is a better option than failing and being embarrassed” Something my Mother said to me throughout high school. The First reason why Hofstra University is right for me is because of all the resources on campus. I know my mouth will not utter the words “oh my gosh! I can’t find help!”. Hofstra has many options of support. A couple of examples of the resources provided by Hofstra University; the Center for Academic Excellence, the Center for University Advising, and the Student Access Services. These centers providing me help with active learning, engagement, self-regulation, academic interests, and monitoring of the

Young, ambitious women from all over the country participated in this program, full of innovative classes and discussions about business, which were lead by Kelley professors. The experience on IU’s campus was unforgettable and is one of the main reasons I hope to attend IU. If admitted into IU, I hope to receive direct admission into Kelley School of Business and double-major in Business and International Relations, and minor in Spanish. I plan on studying abroad and continuing studying foreign languages to increase my understanding of international cultures. I value Kelley’s method of education that forces its students to be eclectic through its innovative I-Core program that focuses on four different perspectives of business: Finance, Management, Marketing, and Operations. One of my goals while on campus is to live in the Kelley Living Learning Center so I can meet with people with similar passions for business, as well as learn to network amongst my peers. My main academic goals at IU would be to enroll in the Hutton Honors College, Kelley Honors programs, and Kelley’s Women in Business program. As a woman, I understand that power isn’t given to you, you must work for it, and Kelley embodies
