I Want To Pursue My College Degree

Since my interest first peaked, I have continued towards my goal to become a dentist, not only through high academic achievement, but with life experience. I obtained my dental radiography license and worked as a dental assistant during high school and was provided with the opportunity to observe a variety of dental procedures. I also gained exposure to the additional responsibilities of a dental professional ranging from the billing process to dealing with insurance companies. I got a glimpse of the organizational skills necessary to run a small business. I continued gaining experiences upon entering

My philosophy is, those who to choose to go to college and earn a degree are the strongest of people. Everyone should know that college is difficult, time consuming, and expensive but they should also know how beneficial going to school can really be. Although what I said is true, some people would disagree, and that is totally fine. At first I didn’t think college was for me, but I’m glad I made the right decision like so many other people.

Our written question for this week is answer the question “why do you want to go to college?” I want to go to college for three main reasons – my family, my career and my personal growth. The first reason I want to go to college is for my family. I want my children and grandchildren to not just hear me say education is important. I want my words to be associated with a tangible action. What better way to communicate this than to go to college and complete a degree. The second reason I want to go to college is for my career. I have worked in the IT industry in various positions for over 20 years and despite having experience, a glass ceiling exists for those of us without a college degree. I want to be able to move beyond that barrier

I have worked very hard throughout my high school year to earn your consideration for your generous scholarship. First of all, I have maintained a high level of academic achievements. My freshman year I started with a cumulative gpa of 3.571 and I have been able to improve my gpa even further to a 3.8 average. My academics in school have been a priority for me especially during my senior year. I feel I have a great opportunity to attain a 4.0 gpa. I was always the girl in class who paid attention and did all the work. In addition to that, I turned in my work on time in the best quality. I have endured many difficult obstacles and found my weaknesses that I needed to improve on such as balancing my time and activities. I have exerted all my efforts and time to enhance these skills. I am ambitious and constantly set goals for myself to reach. I am committed and passionate to ameliorate my weaknesses. My parents have always pushed me forward into getting a better education that they didn’t have. My family isn’t wealthy, but we are rich with love and support. My mom has always encouraged me to seize every opportunity given. I have been tirelessly endeavoring to take those chances and use it to my advantage.

I’m the first generation of student who is attending High School in United States and applying to go to college. I would like to attend college because I believed that the advantage of going to college will be the best way to get better life and better job in the future. Moreover, I can learn new experiences from college which will be independent, responsibility and maturity. My personal goal is having a college degree and getting a job that I’m passionate about. I like to help or treat people who are physically or mentally sick and give a courage to them with positive attitude. Therefore, I would like to be a nurse. There is another particular circumstances that I wanted to attend college is because of my family. They are really want me to

My goal at Arizona State University is to earn my bachelor’s degree in Justice Studies with a minor in Sustainability. I am not sure of what my career will be, but I do know that I want to help better the environment in some way. This could include sustainable alternatives such as solar or wind energy, environmental research, or many different possibilities. I have an interest in Justice Studies because I truly believe in right and wrong. Since the environment is unable to voice its opinion and take a stance for itself, people have to do it for them. Clearly, Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax has been an influence in my desire to help better the environment. My reason for working to get my bachelor’s degree is because both of my parents and older brother did not go to college and they are

Planning for the future can be extremely stressful. I was fortunate enough to know what field of study to pursue because of all of my self experience, interest, and familiarity. Dentistry has been my top choice of study since the start of high school. Many things can be attributed to this as well. From a very young age and all through my teenage years, I have spent quite an ample amount of time in the dentist’s office, whether it was for a simple checkup or an orthodontic appointment. This field of study will be something I know I will be happy to continue as my full time career.

Being a native to Ohio usually means go Bucks! Yet, I never felt like Ohio was my home. I was practically raised on the clear blue Michigan water in Hillsdale, and playing in the sand dunes of Silver Lake. Michigan has always felt like home. When applying to colleges it was a no brainer to apply to University of Michigan.

Some people say that the four years of high school are the best years of school. Others say that the four years of high school are the worst years of school, but I say that the four years of high school were the most influential in shaping my future goals and carving my character. Through the education and experiences gained at Lennox High School, I have grown into the person I am today.

I went on to Wayne State University and majored in Biology, and proudly graduated with a 3.77 grade point average. The feeling of achievement on graduation day made the early mornings, long days, and sleepless study nights worth it. On graduation day, my family and I were ecstatic as a result of my academic achievements, but they all saw the hunger in my eye for more—much more. Since that point, I have taken the DAT and achieved a score of 21. Right now, I am happy to say that I am physically, mentally, and spiritually the healthiest I have ever been. As a result, I am prepared to not only succeed in dental school, but I am also prepared to set new precedents and develop the art of dentistry within the vast capacity I believe I

A year ago, I was getting ready for my Final Exams. I was finally graduating from High School. I had always planned to study college in the United States upon completion of my high school. It was a dream of mine to follow my sister's steps and complete my education in the U.S. Year after year, this dream became a goal that I had to accomplish. In March 2015, a war broke in Yemen which made me think that I might not be able to complete my education at all. Since March 2015, schools across the nation have been closed. I stayed at home to study and prepare for finals in hopes that the war would end sooner. Days turned weeks and weeks turned into months. We were scheduled to sit for the final exams in June 2015 but due to the war in my country, our Mid-terms were considered as our final.

Life has been an interesting, happy, and on occasion, challenging journey for me: despite the ups and downs, has made me extremely optimistic and excited concerning my future. Dentistry was not a career that I thought was possible until six years ago. Despite visiting the dentist only one time as a child, I have always had a fascination with teeth and oral hygiene. Graduating with a bachelor of Science degree was the first step in achieving my career goal. Obtaining my masters in Medical Science from Hampton University is the next step needed in my pursuit because it will strengthen me as an applicant for dental school. Performing well in a graduate program will show academic growth and dedication to obtaining a dental degree.

The first thing I ever wanted to be was a dentist. In my small community we had one dentist in the town I grew up in. I was at an age where everything I saw was intriguing. My mother had taken me with her to her dental appointment at the old school in my town where this Doctor’s dental practice was located. I was in love with his occupation for some unknown reason which I now believe was the independence, intelligence, and love of giving people a smile they are proud of. I didn’t want to stay a dentist for long at that age though, as my mind was always changing. I have always had a fascination with teeth since then however which has lead me in my last twelve years’ multiple times to the dream of one day becoming a Dentist myself and giving people the smile they desire as well. As a senior in my rural high school, I was lucky enough to get a head start in my career path which I feel I would not have happened if I were living in an urban setting. I am currently involved in the Health Care Academy through Chippewa Valley Technical College while being located in Ladysmith which is about ten minutes from my school where I am receiving an education to become a certified Dental Assistant. I will graduate this may from CVTC with a technical diploma right before graduating from high school. I decided to enroll in this program to give myself

As a child, I was always told to find something I loved doing and make that my career. Growing up I always loved math, and to this day I still enjoy doing math. Since I enjoy math so much, obtaining a business degree makes the most sense.

For the most part, I grew up in an environment that valued education, and for this I am grateful. My Mom has worked incredibly hard to keep us in Arlington, despite not really having the means to do so. Neither of my parents went to college, and because of this they placed so stress on education, coincidently they both have worked in the school system. After my Dad passed away, my Mom turned all of her attention to making my sister and I succeed academically, forcing us to go to school and stay on top of school work. Because of the large role education has played in my life, my interests are centered around learning, specifically neuroscience, biology, and public health. Currently, I am hoping to become an epidemiologist or physicians assistant.
