Many of my studies have focused on subject matter relevant to the teachings of the faculty at Memorial University such as the topics of climate change, the geology of coastal landscapes, oceanography, cartography, global positioning systems, remote sensing, and geographic information systems. I hold an affinity of interests toward technology used for geospatial data acquisition such as ERDAS Image and ArcGIS. Map making is a big interest of mine. Recently, I have spent many long hours designing maps with various software including Adobe Illustrator, ERDAS Imagine, and ArcGIS that were largely enjoyed. When I graduate from San Francisco State University in Spring, I will have fulfilled degree elective requirements for both resource management and geographic analysis techniques.
No one told me the difficulties you have to go through to be where you want to be. I had a good childhood, I had everything I needed, until I hit my teens years that’s when I realized we were poor. I didn’t mind being poor, but it kept me from doing a lot of things. That’s when I started to worry, about bills and expense we had to pay. I wasn’t thinking about school at the moment that was my last priority, that’s when the problems started.
Montclair State University, home of the Red Hawks has always been a college that has interested me. As a kid, I often would visit the beautiful campus to watch baseball games at the Yogi Berra Stadium located inside. I have always been a fan of schools with big campuses. The
Without wading into the thicket of details, it came to be forces beyond anyone’s control that led to the financial emergency that left my father and stepmother with essentially no source of income, the very same time they took on the added expenses of welcoming the birth of my baby brother. I had no idea about the financial situation until my father, who tried to protect me, was unable to pay an installment of my tuition. Though the situation was eventually resolved, this sudden concern for whether I would be able to afford to continue my schooling severely affected my concentration, further hampering my
In like words to Albert Einstein, John Dewey once stated “education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” An immensely powerful blessing found in attending an international school has been becoming a person who thrives and enjoys learning amongst a seemingly endless multitude of cultures. The opportunity to essentially become immersed in different cultures gave me a personal conviction to go out and serve underserved regions of the world. Through my missions and travels, I have learned that how we face both diversity and adversity define who I am. The value of an education is determined by the one who receives it and what he or she chooses to do with it.
There have been many factors that have contributed to me being a freshman at Umass this year. They ranged from my grades to the influences from people around me.

College Admissions Essay If someone asked me where I am going to be in ten years, this would be my answer. I will have a great, high-paying job, and beautiful wife and family, and a nice sports car parked in front of my lovely house. When I look into the future, I see myself being successful and happy.

In my short seventeen years, public school has been the greatest, most valuable influence in my life. Since entering Pre-Kindergarten at age four, I’ve been introduced to a wide and diverse range of people, opinions, and opportunities. I attended an inner-city elementary school, where my classmates came from a variety of financial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. Learning alongside children different from myself forced me to develop strong teamwork and collaboration skills early on, which became vital to my success in secondary school. I learned to accept others for who they were, and to open my mind to new ideas. Public school also deserves partial responsibility for my passion for the arts. I’ve taken a visual arts course every year since

My high school days have been spent at a STEM focused school, where I have worked to get my associate's degree alongside my high school diploma. I've worked my hardest to succeed, often resulting in a loss of sleep, and having to give up many extra curricular activities. Through these years I've learned that my passions are encompassed mainly in fine arts. Music is a big part of my life and is a passion of mine. I have been learning the piano since I was little and later added violin to the mix. I found my passion for musical theater a couple years later, and began to immerse myself in the various aspects of it. Art,

Application Essay. I came across this internship while I was scrolling through my university’s career page and it immediately caught my eye. I had been looking to further my experience in editing and publishing and looking at this application seemed too good to be true. The M-School program is everything I was looking for in an internship because it values its interns unlike most internships.

Remember elementary school? Back in the good old days when your parents thought you were the next Picasso because you could smear a few different crayons together to make a glob of colors? Or when you learned how to play chopsticks on the piano and you were the next Mozart? My parents were just like the rest of the world obsessing that me or my brother were “special” or “gifted” until we turned out to be just average.
