Montgomery College Dreams

In my first reflection, I elaborated on my personal goals in relation to my experiences at Spelman College. I spoke about how those experiences have influenced my goals. Since then my goals have not changed, however I have become more determined to reach those goals. My overall determination stems from the fact that I am surrounded by a vast group of intelligent and talented women. My Spelman sisters push me to reach greater heights, and they encourage me to not just be mediocre. Therefore, the consistency of my goals, my influences to acquire my goals, and my aspiration to achieve my goals all contribute to my success at Spelman College thus far.

On July 6, 1999 a future Clemson Tiger was born, me. As the son of two Clemson alumni, it has been the overall goal of my life to attend the beloved Clemson University and follow my parents’ legacy. Experiencing football and baseball games, caressing Howard’s Rock, and making many everlasting memories has enticed me since I was a young boy. I have considered the university to be my number one choice when picking my future college since the first time I stepped foot on the campus. Knowing that I was initially not accepted into the undergraduate program urges me to prove myself and show the staff of Clemson all that I can bring to better further the reputation of the university. I have worked extremely hard to get to where I am today, but all I can do is get better and I will do whatever it takes to help guarantee my success as a student at Clemson University. I intend to live on campus to help ensure exemplary grades, attend all classes whether attendance is mandatory or optional, and lastly, I have an strong and supportive family of successful alumni to push me to be a prosperous student. My family deeply believes in a Clemson education over another because it has enabled them to be successful in the business world and obtain the high ranking positions in their companies that they possess today. Their success with their Clemson degrees inspire me to obtaining the cherished honor of a Clemson graduate and grow the highly respected reputation of a

Growing up, I have succumbed to realize that nothing comes easy, and the ones who work the hardest reap the greatest rewards. I am a determined and confident person, driven to become a successful student. I am willing to rise up to the challenge of learning, growing, and working in the industry that is notorious for being extremely competitive. The Fashion Business Management program will guide me and provide me with the knowledge and experience to acquire a successful career as a fashion buyer. By attending F.I.T., my skills and hard work will put me on the right path for success, and I know that with a positive mindset and my strong desire to succeed, I will make a diligent, hardworking candidate for

I have always known that I wanted to attend a top-tier university. The other details came later; the small size, the proximity to an urban hub, and my major itself. For a while, I was convinced that it would not happen; that I just wouldn’t get in. Now, I realize that I have an opportunity to do so. This is an opportunity I do not intend to waste.

As a military wife one of my greatest duties is to support my husband while he supports our nation. That duty has led to our family having to relocate and change many aspects of our lives including which school I attend. I am thankful that that obligation is now making it possible for me to potentially attend The George Washington University. While transferring midway through a degree certainly is not ideal I do feel like this is a remarkable opportunity that I am eager to embrace. I cannot help but feel as if my journey in higher education is finally getting where it was supposed to be all along. As a teenager, I envisioned life at my age and it never involved four children and a halfway complete English degree. I had planned to attend the university in my hometown and then, after four perfect years of course, become a wonderful high school English teacher just doing what I loved every day.

However, I am grateful that I have been able to identify the weak points in my learning efforts so early in my academic career and also been able to implement changes to them. The way in which I study is drastically changing and I have already seen positive improvements because of that. I have reprioritized many times, focusing primarily on my studies, and finally arrived at a balance that works best with my schedule. I have learned to not be reserved and to expose myself to all that is available at this university because some of my best experiences have come from unexpected moments. Overall, I have assured myself that choosing a liberal arts education was the best decision I made because it offers me an infinite amount of opportunities, both intellectually and personally. My goals have been reevaluated after my learning thus far and I am enthusiastic to continue to pursue them throughout the remainder of my time here. Academically, I plan to graduate with a competitive skillset that will set me apart from others in the workforce and also graduate studies. The education I am receiving here is phenomenal and I wish to translate that into my future career. To do so, I strive to be involved inside and outside of the classroom to further my knowledge in all subjects. Through involvement in various organizations, I aim to become more diverse in my abilities. Along with that, I have ambition

Coming from a small high school and later a small college, I know now more than ever that James Madison University is the school for me. When I received a letter in the mail offering me not only an acceptance letter, but also an abundant scholarship from Elizabethtown College, a small private school, I felt I would be foolish not to accept this generous award. While I have had great experiences and have learned an abundance of knowledge in and outside the classroom during my first semester of college, I now know that to reach my full potential, it’s time to move on to a larger, more diverse campus like JMU. For me, Elizabethtown College was comfortable and reminded me of my hometown. Now I know that to be more successful, I need to step

I choose to attend Bryant University because I knew of their strong focus on business majors and their strong networking reach with potential employers for their students. Currently, I am pursuing a major in management and a minor in psychology, with the possibility of either adding another minor or changing my psychology minor into a major. I have chosen this path because in coincides with my interests with life. I enjoy working with people and showing my leadership skills. I have proven this through work with various groups in my classes, leading my teams through various assignments and projects. I also shows these skills through running my own landscaping business. I employ some of my friends that are out there helping every day during the summer. I enjoy managing different jobs that my employees and I do.

Twenty-six years ago. I began the quest to find the perfect college. As I drove down the driveway of Bay Path College, I knew this was the college I was going to attend. I was drawn to the rural setting, the beautiful campus and the small academic community. My intent for life after high school was to get my associates degree, earn some money, then begin working toward my bachelor degree. In retrospect, I did not possess the confidence or drive needed to be a good student. I struggled for the next couple of years to earn my Associates degree, however was apprehensive to commit to the time or expense it would take to continue my education. After a very long break in schooling, I now approach education with a new mindset and ready to commit

But by the end of my two years as a community college student, I had only dipped my toe into the vast pool of academic potential. Not only does the University of Washington offer infinite career and social opportunities, it provides a community of diverse student body and experienced professors all aiming toward the same goal of success. At the University of Washington I can continue my education and work toward a major that utilizes and builds upon my existing

I thank you for taking the time to evaluate this application and look forward to completing my Business Management Degree Program and moving forward toward a Bachelor Degree in Accounting with a focus in Business Management. I have met one of my achievements this year I completed and received my Associate in Applied Science Degree in Accounting I believe what I get by achieving my educational goals is not as important as what I become by achieving my goals, and now my short term goal is to complete my Business Management Degree and pursue my long-term goal continuing my education by attaining the Bachelor and a CPA

I believe my membership on DSAC will bring great value to Smith undergraduate experience. I have had a very non-traditional journey and matriculation into the Smith school. However, I believe that I have made a positive impact and created value for my peers in the during my time here. My background before business was in art, as I am a painter and designer. These traits have influenced my personalized passion for the business school greatly. My hopes for my career at the business school is to collaborate with fellow students to create change in Smith that will stand the test of time. DSAC is comprised of leaders in Smith that want to come together to better the Smith experience, and that is something I aim to be a part of. The question I continuously ask myself before I embark on any experience is,

Since I received my Bachelors at College Park, I already know and love what the University of Maryland has to offer. Through its organization, culture, dedicated professors, student outreach programs and opportunities it offers to educators within the state of Maryland, achieving my next goal in my professional career will be obtainable with a University of Maryland education. I have seen what this University has done with educators. For example, through the STAMPP Program, University of Maryland has produced some outstanding teachers in my Math Department at Walker Mill Middle School. I also had the pleasure to work with Dr. Beatriz Quintos and Dr. Andrew Brantlinger in organizing the various professional development workshops for common core over the past two years for current teachers in my building to utilize and improve student achievement. With the University of Maryland, I know the level of education will be premium, engaging, and effective for everyday use in my profession. The diversity of the University and the work it does to develop programs to excel professionals in the area will only better prepare me in becoming an educational

I can truly say receiving an acceptance offer to Howard University School of Law is such an honor and a blessing. I have dreamt of this moment many times over the past few years. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of Howard's legacy entrenched in perseverance and commitment to social justice. Since I began looking into potential options for my legal education, Howard has been at the top of my list for a multitude of reasons. As someone who attended a PWI for undergrad and as a result encountered some pretty blatant racism and discrimination, I feel that it would be so powerful to attend an institution founded to specifically empower our people and groom us to change the trajectory for future generations. Besides Howard’s ideal location in the heart of our nation’s capital, the school itself maintains a nationally recognized prestigious reputation while offering graduates unparalleled networking opportunities. I look forward to being taught by renowned scholars who look like me, and the extremely low student-faculty ratio ensures that I will have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with my professors.

A year and a half ago I accepted my acceptance into the Red McCombs business school believing that the name, network, and professors would be enough to keep me interested for the rest of my duration at the University of Texas. But I quickly realized it was not major for me. This realization left me
