I Want To Pursue A Degree In High School

Many people say that high school should be the best four years of your life. Most of us entered high school with this idea in mind, determined to enjoy every second of it. The confidence and energy that we held that first September allowed us to dive right into what has been an amazing four

The most common reason people want to continue their education in college is with the goal that a degree will propel you towards a better career. Though that may be true, I have many other reasons for my desire to continue my education. High school attempts to prepare you for college with limited exposure to many subjects; however, college allows you the opportunity to focus on areas of study you have a passion for, and allows you to continue developing that passion. I found through my high school experience I enjoy learning about entrepreneurship and the Chinese language and culture. I am extremely eager to attend college in order to delve further into those subjects and have a much better understanding of each area of study.

Contemplating back on my high school journey, I began to recognize and appreciate the life changes I experienced and the imperative lessons I learned throughout those four years. If I had to choose several words to describe my high school experience, I would begin with eventful, challenging, and memorable. High school afforded me many experiences that continuously led to stressful and challenging encounters. Being involved with the Ambassador Program and the National Honor Society was one of the greatest decisions I made in high school. Both clubs provided me with numerous life-changing opportunities that will continue to have an impact on me for a lifespan.

Collegiate High School is for those who want to challenge themselves and attain college credit/associate's degree while simultaneously completing a high school diploma. Also for those who want to get a head start in their education and in life, I am one of those people.

As a young Puerto Rican, I always wanted to be a nurse or a doctor. This is because I have always had a caring heart and I enjoyed to take care of everyone. My educational goal is to get a Doctorate degree in Nursing. Furthermore, to reach that goal I have to start working on my Associate Degree. Therefore, my first educational goal is to begin and complete my associate degree. My career Goal after graduation is working as an RN in the Sarah Todd Nursing Home; the nursing home which I currently work at as a CNA. Being a CNA allows me to reach out and help people. Continuing my education would increase the amount of care that I can provide.

Many people say your years in high school are the best years of your life; those people would be correct. High school could be described as inspirational, a good use of four years, and a great place to discover self esteem. Not only is high school fun and educational, the rules and regulations are also superb. From dress codes to bullying, the school covers everything in a totally reasonable way. My absolute favorite thing about Worland High school is by far the new and improved attendance policy.

My mom and dad make a combined yearly salary of less than $70,000. They also help provide for me, my brother, and my sister. They help pay for school, clubs, extracurricular activities, phone bills, insurance, and so much more for all three of us and plus themselves. I work at Foodland in Scottsboro making minimum wage and I try to pay for what I can, such as my tuition and books so far, gas, food, clothes, and other necessities. As of right now I am running out of spending money and my parents are trying to provide for all of us as best as they can, and we are not eligible for Pell Grant. Gaining this scholarship would be very beneficial in helping me gain my Associates Degree here at Northeast so i can achieve my goal to transfer to the University

One day in 2011, I had an epiphany that I wanted to become the CEO of a hospital one day. The CEO of Rose Medical Center became aware of this and informed me that I could certainly have his job one day, but I must first go back to school and get my Master's degree. He is not the only person that has hounded me about going back to school. Many other managers, administrators and even family members have said the same. Clearly they see something in me that I had not quite yet see in myself. I think I am finally coming to the realization that if they think I can obtain a Master's degree, then I certainly possess the skills, knowledge and motivation to go back to school. It is time for me to shake up my content, routine life and take the step to bettering myself and fulfilling the commitment I made to myself on December 31,

Over the past 4 years, I have taken in many life experiences, and quickly grown into an adult faster than I imagined. High School has taught me so many things; like knowledge, friendships, involvement, balance, learning from mistakes, and how to grow into the person I want to become. The lessons were taught from friends, family, teachers, and coaches. I would say that my high school experience was very different than most, but I wouldn't of traded it for the normal 4 years of high school for the world.

After I moved to the U.S. two years ago, my family and I have been through the hard situation of not having a good economic standing. After staying out of school, I enrolled in an adult continuing education program, since I was not admitted to high school. I found the support that I needed to improve my English language and to obtain my GED diploma. Subsequently, my time was dedicated for the entrance exams and admission process of UTRGV, which has been one of my biggest accomplishments. It is something great but concerning, for I am in need to work to pay for tuition and support my family.

Making way downtown in a dirty, congested country, I see blind people selling nuts in the street in return for some money. Being merely a tourist in Egypt, my actions wouldn't prevail any good-doings due to my age and lack of experience in the medical field. All I could do was buy nuts, donate some money and food, and I was off my way, back home. As I grew older, I've become more aware that my desire to get into an amazing school at home with a nursing program is a big desire in my life. NYU can make it happen for me. From enrolling aspiring doctors to actors, the school which is located in the heart of Washington Square Park, is the place where I most desire to be. Due to its sheer location in the heart of the city, many students are allowed to take on internships, and use a variety of a diverse staff and and resources.

Throughout my high school career I have been impacted greatly by the science courses I have taken. It was during my freshmen biology class that I discovered what I wanted truly wanted to study in college. I enjoyed every aspect of the course and developed an interest of pursuing further knowledge. I discovered my strengths and enjoyed challenging myself by continuing to take advanced science courses.

As a high school senior I am looking forward to continuing my education this fall. A post-secondary education will help me achieve my future goal of becoming the best pediatric neurosurgeon I can be and save every life I can. At the age of fifteen I started my own business to help bring hope into the lives of families that are going through challenging times. I founded Every Little Stitch to create special keepsakes for orphans, children who have had traumatic injuries, foster children, ladies groups, churches, and even to be an encouragement to parents who have lost their child. I have personally walked through the halls of many hospitals where lives will never be the same. Nearly two years ago, my brother was involved in a freak accident

In 5 years I want to go to college and get my degree in engineering and maybe work on cars for a living or I am going to be a state cop and chase people down and catch them. It depends on the way I want to go. I am sure I will find a job that suits me fine. I can’t wait till I get to college and get my own car to drive around in but until 5 years are over looks like I’m sticking to my bike.

My sincere interest in science, particularly in the biological sciences, is not limited to my advanced high school courses. In
