My College Admissions Essay: A Career As A College Education

Growing up, I was always the one expected in my family to succeed. My mom would always talk about the future; I would go to college, a privilege she couldn't obtain herself, and become a doctor to make enough money for our family. This was the career path I've always been interested in since I was a child. This helped shaped my goals in life and inspired me to work hard so I could make that ongoing dream a reality.

My College and Career goals include graduating college and getting a job. I wish to attend the University of Alabama. I plan to major in occupational therapy or speech therapy. After I graduate with my bachelor's degree I wish to get my master's degree. After I finish my schooling I want to receive a job that allows me to provide for my family. I wish to receive this job in my degree's field. After receiving this job I wish to improve to reach a leadership role.

The topic of mental illness had become a recurring theme in my life during 2015. Health and wellness of the mind was a topic never brought up in my household during my childhood and well into my adolescence. My father always reminded me “Ashley, were black. We don't get depressed or anxious, we just face our problems head on because we’re naturally strong people.” Constantly hearing this gave me the false notion that mental

As the United States economy requires more students to obtain college degrees, the number of students entering college unprepared becomes a pressing concern. According to Bragg & Taylor (2014) growing concern of college and career readiness (CCR) in the United States is requiring policy makers and educators to review factors that contribute to success. When students enter college unprepared, remediation courses are taken costing the student monies for skills that could have been completed prior to post-secondary education (Jackson & Kurleander, 2013). In order for students to meet standards set by postsecondary institutions, the students must demonstrate the skills and knowledge necessary. David Conley (2010) describes college readiness as, “the level of preparation a student needs in order to enroll and succeed without remediation—in a credit-bearing course at a postsecondary institution.” To achieve college readiness amongst all incoming college students, strategies must be developed for high school students to become college ready.

Something that make me smile, gets me excited, makes me do something is softball. I have played ball all since the day I could walk. I started off playing baseball since I was 2 years old. Then at age 8 I went on to play softball for a select softball team in Pearland. Playing softball has always made me smile! I love the intensity, excitement, and the teamwork that is used to play ball. We all look out for each other and try to pick each other up even when we are not all in the spirit. Some activities that involve science, technology, engineering, and math that I find to be fun is robotics and underwater robotics. Robotics has always been a big part in my life because my dad is a robotics teacher for this school and I always loved playing

What do you want to be when you grow up? Is one of the many questions that are asked by teachers and adults. Through the research and development of this paper, I feel that I am finally prepared to answer that question. College has always been in my plans but which college? Well, I have it narrowed down to three excellent and well -known colleges. Ohio University of Athens, The Ohio State University of Columbus and Miami University are the colleges that I feel would foremost prepare me to become an athletic trainer.

A long time ago I moved to Denton, Texas for school, attended Texas Woman's for 4 semesters than dropped out.

Passion is necessary to excel. Once someone loses desire or motivation for something it becomes quite difficult to continue doing well in that field. I went through a crisis of lost motivation in my first two years of high school.

Throughout my educational career, I gained the teaching of 32 magnificent teachers, even so, just two ever genuinely inspired my work, and strived to know my being as an equal, as a fellow. I have always attained the status amongst exceptional students, and time was on my side, it seemed, when I met one of the utmost inspirational teachers I have had the tremendous pleasure of learning from, Mrs. Leah Tucker, my art teacher, who taught me not only who artists were, or how to draw or paint, for three stupendous years of my schooling career; suddenly 8th grade came around, I was acquainted with Mr. Bevis, who has the probability of being one of the best English teachers, and inspirations I may ever have. Fortunately, bits of both of their teachings

I was raised in a military household; both of my parents were in the U.S. Navy. Growing up I was taught proper discipline, a sense of order, and a firm belief in right and wrong. These skills allowed me to be able to conduct my life with a sense of purpose and gave me the confidence to accomplish anything I set my mind to. I myself spent 5 years in the U.S. Navy and I am definitely a better person for it. The military taught me many essential life skills that I feel give me a unique perspective and advantage when it comes to accomplishing my goals. The military taught me self-discipline and instilled high standards for everything I do. I learned teamwork and leadership skills, stress management, and global awareness. The military teaches you

I have a very good idea as to what career I would want after college. The plan for me would be for me to go get a MA in history after FDU and then go into education. I think the goal for me would be to get a Ph.D. in history, but that would be further down the line. But if I was not on this path my two other career options would be public relations and counseling.

I am Takeya Glenn. Most people knew me by just Takeya or my nickname Penney. I can honestly say i’m not the most sane person in the world but i try to be, but it is very hard!

When examining myself, I am often labeled as being helpful, sympathetic, generous, friendly, responsible, cooperative, understanding, and kind when it comes to the social category.

I am Enzo McNutt. I was born in Bellevue, WA on November 30, 1999. I am a fairly smart guy who believes in Christianity; though I grew up going to Catholic churches with my neighbors. While growing up, I lived in Renton, WA with my father and grandparents. My mom lived in Seattle and I saw her part of the week. That was back like ten years ago when I was a very young boy. Now, I live with my mom and dad an equal amount of time. I have one dog at my dad’s house and two at my mom’s. I enjoy going to school, quading, graphic design, and I am also learning how to type code. I do well in school, especially in Math, Spanish, and Art, but I have a hard time keeping all focus while doing homework. Knowing this, I always strive to do my best and push through my struggles while trying to do my homework. It has always been a goal of mine to get a 4.0 GPA. This first semester I had a 3.6, so the goal is still alive and I can achieve that goal by doing my homework. I am currently attending Sultan High School as a sophomore.

A scholar is defined as, “A person who is highly educated has an aptitude for study.” This definition perfectly describes the reasoning for scholarship as well as the potential future from being a scholar. The impact of being a scholar has allowed me to advance in school and prepare for scholarship outside of high school. Scholarship has allowed me to maintain good grades and with that retain the knowledge gained from my classes. Being a scholar has created the desire to learn and gain as much knowledge as possible. Debate has allowed me to become a better scholar, and with that scholarship has helped me with debate. TSA also has taught me to be scholarly among and with others. The impact of being a scholar has been great on me.
