I Have Prepared Myself For College

It’s about knowing your team and yourself, and doing your best job setting both up for success. I demonstrate leadership in One Act Play, FFA CDEs, Spanish Club, and so forth. In One Act Play, as a sound technician, I contribute suggestions that could improve the aspects of the play from my point of view and share my views to the other technician members. As a technician team, we depend on each other and to be efficient in all tasks undertaken during the play. In reward, we placed as an alternate one act play and one of the technician members placed as an outstanding crew member. In FFA CDEs, we work together as a team as well. I demonstrate leadership by applying my knowledge and solving problems with my teammates. We diligently pursue for excellence in our competitions and work together to resolve questions. In reward, I was rewarded with my Green-Hand FFA Degree in grade 9. In Spanish Club, I demonstrate leadership by inspiring others and myself to do chariable related work in the community. For example, over the Christmas break we visited the White Hall Nursing Home and visited the elderly. We had great conversation and had a great time there. Good leadership descends from character which is based on truth and

Scholarship, Leadership, service, and Character, all four are an asset that one needs in their life. Scholarship drives you to do your best in your academics and to never let go of your dreams. Leadership is stepping up and offering to help with everything that needs to be done, help those who are less fortunate. Service is going out and making an impact on you community. Character is being you and to not letting anyone change the way you act or think about an issue. Scholarship has made me work as hard as I possibly can so I can go far and achieve every goal I have set for myself. Leadership has taught me to be the one to step up when a leader is needed and to step out of my comfort zone. Service has showed me what all is needed to be done

For scholarship I Also I get good grades and try to be good role model. For example, I took and passed my Global Regents as a Freshmen because I showed readiness by consistently participating and showing good work ethics. Even though I wasn’t in the honors class I felt ready to face the challenge as a Freshmen. What made me want to take to take this exam was to prove it doesn’t matter if you’re in the honors class or not just work hard. I’ve talked to the current and the upcoming freshmen about negative and positive things I went through as freshmen so they don’t make the same mistakes I did or so that they can do the same positive things I did. For leadership, I participate in class and encourage my peers to do the same. I help make sure my peers comprehend what we have learned. In sports, I push my teammates to get better but have fun at the same time. I start practices when my coach is running late and when my coach is out talking to someone I continue the practice. For service, I and my Mosque went out on August 17, 2017, and collect cans of food and a collection for $350 and sent it to Sierra Leone because of the flood /mudslide and for the people who lost their homes and family. We also ran a food drive to give back to the community and helped the homeless. For character, I show all the five words Integrity, Leadership, Courage, Curiosity, Concern and also Brother’s

I believe I should be selected for the Schulich Leader Scholarship because I have been academically successful, demonstrate leadership capabilities, and believe that my dreams and creativity will allow me to paint the future with bright colours, for myself and others. My experiences make me unique from anyone else, and I hope to do myself justice in six hundred words.

Kanno & Kangas, 2014), rigorous college preparation begins in middle school, when students must take the prerequisite classes to advanced high school courses. By the time students reach high school, advanced placement courses may be out of reach for those who have not taken the preparatory classes (Kanno & Kangas, 2014). Given that a rigorous secondary school curriculum seems to predict college success (Flores et al., 2012), ensuring that former ELLs enroll and succeed in high-level classes is integral to promoting equitable college readiness. Indeed, students who take advanced coursework tend to develop more higher-level thinking skills, analytical abilities, and positive attitudes than students who take basic courses (Kanno & Kangas, 2014). Most recently, Flores et al. (2012) analyzed student data from Texas and found that taking high-level and dual-credit courses is a strong predictor of immediate college enrollment for all students regardless of ELL

When people hear the word “college”, many panic inside at the thought. But, when I hear the word “college” I think about Illinois State University. In early July, I attended an Open House at ISU for my very first official college visit. As I stepped onto campus, I couldn’t but help to feel like it was my future home. Many aspects of the tour made me draw nearer to choosing this college after finishing my High School career. Illinois State University seems to fit my personality very well, has an amazing program for what I want to study, and is an outstanding campus for my academic strengths and weaknesses.

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.

Throughout 9th and 10th grade, I have worked very hard academically. Yet, as I am about to venture into 11th grade, I feel as though I am ready for a challenge. Truthfully, the thought of starting college at the age of 16 sounded just like the type of challenge I needed. Furthermore, there are three main reasons why I want to attend the Mary Baldwin Early College: because I am seeking an academic challenge, because I believe that the Mary Baldwin Early College will help me to achieve my career ambitions, and because the Mary Baldwin Early college offers everything I hope to experience at a college.

Academic rigor and a high level of scholarship has a prominent role in my remaining two years of high school, especially staying on track to attain Lamp of Knowledge at graduation. The second pillar, leadership, in my opinion is the most important pillar of the National Honors Society. Leadership establishes one critical role of a high-level student, worthy of the National Honors Society, since today’s students will grow to become the leaders of tomorrow. On a daily basis, I use skills of leadership in band, pertaining to being section leader and organizing forty people, committing extra hours to better our section. As a section leader, I strive to contribute and aid section members with fairness, organization, and accuracy. Skills of leadership will directly impact future experiences relating to my future professional life, college, as well as current high-school endeavors. Service, the third pillar, is another fundamental part of the National Honors Society, and future undertakings. At my former elementary school, as well as my local baseball league, I have dedicated many hours with

A true leader stands high on on the pillars of success: dedication, servitude, respectability, and honesty. The mark of a fulfilled life is not one who has collected many awards, not one who has an insurmountable amount of money and fame, it is one who has touched the most souls in his journey of life. A leader destined for greatness will touch many people along their journey to the top. In my short years on this Earth I have made it my mission from the start to leave a lasting impact on everyone I come in contact with and as a student of Howard University I will continue my mission without fault. From birth my parents noticed I had an insatiable thirst for knowledge, a heart of gold and an unconquerable ability to lead. In the 5th grade I was awarded the

As a second year student at the University of Texas, I have encountered many circumstances than I have both grown from. When you are first dropped into the large pond of a university, you are constantly warned to take your academics seriously, because a college course load is much more rigorous than high school. However, I feel that you are not warned of one important fact that I had to learn the hard way.

Throughout history, college has been a staple for people in America. Young high school graduates continuing their education to guarantee themselves a successful future in a career they feel passionate about. College helps build and expands one’s mind. Not only do students learn more in classes, the build social skills and critical thinking. Students attending college grow in all aspects of the mind. For most students in the 21st century, it has become somewhat of a norm to apply and continue education after high school. Every student wants to push themselves to achieve greatness. The rush of college applications includes a lot such as: writing essays, applying for scholarships, and taking the SATs. The SAT is a worldwide recognized test that

It is the dream of everyone to join college with the hope of getting a better tomorrow and a foundation for them to make it in life. However, this may not be the case with some students as this dream may turn into a nightmare. This is because many students fail to go through or others even fail simply because they have not prepared enough; not just academically but also on the personal side.
