flashing before my eyes. I was in awe that the moment was actually taking place. As I concluded my junior year of high school, many of my peers applied to universities and had an idea of the profession they planned to pursue. Although I had somewhat of an idea of the route I wished to take, I still felt a little nervous and uneasy. I knew that college was for me however, I did not think I would succeed at a large university my first year of furthering my education. Originally, I thought of orthodontics
What I hope to do with my education is to earn my bachelor’s degree in Journalism with a minor in Spanish at Central Connecticut State University. I hope in college that I will be able to develop my skills into becoming an excellent writer, reporter, interviewer and speaker. With these skills, I aspire to become one of the first Hispanic/Latina sideline reporter for the YES Network Inc. Furthermore, I hope to one day host my own talk show to speak about important issues that pertain to the Latino
When I was a senior in high school the first thing that came to my mind when I thought about college, was freedom. As I got into college I took it a little to far, along with a few other things. Now I have lived “the college life” for just about a semester I have a really good handle on everything. I feel as if I have definitely grown up a lot. Growing up comes with a lot of responsibilities, unlucky for me I didn’t understand when I got here. At the beginning of the semester I partied way too much
Year Award goes to Danielle Boyd …“, “What?” My name just got called for what award? As my brain processed what I just achieved, my legs started to move on their own. I proceeded to squeeze my way to the front to receive my certificate. While my picture was being taken, I stood there in disbelief looking back at the bleachers full of students, shook hands with the principal, and returned to my seat. Although, friends and others jokingly told me that I had just won the “Computer Geek of the Year”
I am interested in South Dakota School of Mines and Technology because I my parents went to SDSMT, and they always spoke highly of it, and I have seen that it is a fairly well known engineering school. I plan to get my bachelors in computer science, and maybe a minor in electrical engineering, or maybe some certifications in networking, eg: CCNA or Network+.

Everyone has heard of college, for it is the key to succeeding in today’s economy.

I am very much interested in the field of engineering and hope to pursue a career in engineering sometime in the future. Although I haven’t decided which branch of engineering I want to pursue yet, my experiences as an engineering magnet student at Wheaton High school and the different engineering programs I am a part of have ignited within me a passion for engineering. The Navy SEAP program can help me to fulfill my career goals by helping me narrow down my career choices. Although I am very
Motivation: what motivates me malls to pursue a college degree? I think what motivates me the most to pursue a college degree is the fact that I started this process and never finished. The motivation for me is to finish what I had started and to conquer the things that I've always wanted in my life and to reach for the goals that I've always set for myself before family and life and all of its events came into play that caused me to put my college goals on hold.

My projected career goals during college consist of finding out the best degree path to obtain for my life calling. All my life I have been asked the most common question, “what do you want to be when you grow up”. It is the question everyone gets asked throughout all stages of life. A person’s career depends on the choices they make leading up to graduation of college. One choice could forever affect someone’s life whether it is for the good or the bad. For me, when I grow up I want to help rescue
Everyone has dreams and aspirations on what they want to be when they grow up. I remember changing my ideal career three times as a kid.
