College Application Research Paper

After a few months passed I discovered an amazing opportunity, an internship with Walt Disney called the Disney College Program. I was excited. I didn’t think I would have been given the opportunity, and although I loved art school, I faced the struggle most teens my age had “ did I make the right choice”. Since I was uncertain

What are dreams? Dreams are a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person’s mind during sleep. My dream journal has much accuracy. My dreams all occurred while sleeping indoors, and I was not lucid for any of them. My dreams have a certain pattern in which is very very very confusing to me. My dreams are not meaningful, they are just full of terror.

How would you feel if someone promised you something, but then changed their mind? If you were told you were safe, but the rug was pulled out from under you? Over a half million teenagers and young adults who illegally immigrated to the United States as minors were recently confronted with this reality. DACA, an act passed during Obama’s term that protected them from deportation, was rescinded by the Trump administration on September 5, 2017. After these people, known as Dreamers, had begun to come out of hiding to legally obtain jobs, attend college, and live without fear of deportation, this rescission suddenly suspended their dreams. Now their future is in the hands of Congress. Although many people would like to eject this group, statistics are in favor of their continuing residence. The Dreamers comprise a diverse and valuable group that deserves to stay in the United States. They are not a threat to the United States, nor a financial burden.

I have chosen to spend the next four years of my life in college simply because I want to have a steady job and be successful throughout the course of my life. By going to college I can refine my skills in the area of work in which I would like to pursue. College is a good experience because you can meet people from a large variety of places and cultures. You also learn life lessons about living under a roof where your parents aren’t there to do everything for you.

I spent endless days and nights thinking about my future. What was I going to do? Where was I going to go? How was I going to do it? I didn’t know why I was stressing about it since I knew that I really didn’t have to make any permanent decisions until the end of Junior year. I guess the fact that I am a first born in the United States has always influenced me to try and surpass my peers when it came to academics. My goal in life was to make sure I would live the ‘American Dream’, but what I wasn’t aware of was that I was already living that dream thanks to my parents. As I’ve said in this article, I wouldn’t even be here writing this article if it wasn’t for them. I would’ve not had the infinite amount of perseverance, courage, and bravery to be writing this article. At some point in every teenager’s life, including mine, there’s that moment where you just want your parents to leave you alone. Trust me, I’ve been there, but in the end, your parents are always going to be there for you. This year for me involves many college visits and tours, stressing about AP classes, extracurriculars, and finding that one college (but let’s be real here, more like a list of ten), that is perfect for me before applying next fall. I know for a fact that every step of the way there my parents will be with me leading all the way to when I receive my diploma, to dropping me off at my dream

From the start, I knew that going to college was essential. Constantly, my parents would express to me the importance of getting a college education along with asking me what I wanted to do with my future or what it was I wanted to major in. At first, these questions frightened me. I had no idea what type of school or career I wanted to go into. All the different paths they would suggest to me never sparked my interest. All I knew is that I was interested in fashion. I loved the industry and felt like I could use this passion I have in a career. However, I was still unclear about what I could do with this or what type of path I wanted to take. With this confusion, I knew it was important for me to start exploring more about myself.

The speech “I Have a Dream” was delivered by Martin Luther King on the occasion of the centenary celebrations of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation on 28th August 1963. The speech was dramatically delivered on the steps of Lincoln Memorial and it was witnessed by about two million people. This speech is often considered to be one of the greatest and notable speeches in history and the top American speech of the 20th century.

Immediately after we arrived, I constantly pestered my mother about getting me into the acting industry; eventually she obliged. She put me in a local production of You're A Good Man Charlie Brown. I was primarily focused on having fun, so I forgot one line at the beginning of each performance. It wasn’t a drastic mistake, but it gave me the ambition to work harder in the future. Years later, in my photography class I had to submit a piece to the High School Congressional Art Competition. Initially, I did not believe my piece was strong enough, but my photography teacher urged me to submit it and I placed second in the competition. My photo sat in the Capital building in Washington, D.C. for a year. My creativity and ambition are the two main components that make up who I am. Even though my goal is to become a doctor, I will figure out how to approach it in a creative and fun

Ninth grade was the year I joined the dance auxiliary at my school and I loved it because I was performing for hundreds of people in parades and football games. The captain of the dance auxiliary recently told us that she wanted to become an actress. This made me doubt myself because I compared her to me. She was funny, outgoing, smart, and caring. Meanwhile, I was funny as well but not as smart and shy. This comparison was the breaking point of me no longer wanting to become an actress. I felt that she was capable of following her dreams and I wasn’t because of the different qualities that we both possessed. Now that I look back on the decision I made I wonder how far would I have gone in this dream and what would have pushed me to make it come true. Recently, I chose a new career and this one is going to stick with me. My goal is to not let statistics and other people intimidate me because I have the determination to push myself in a direction that I need to

Before joining theatre as a freshman, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I stuck to the background and did my best to avoid being noticed, as I had done for the last few years before high school. It wasn’t enjoyable, and I am not entirely sure why I did this in the first place. I had planned on keeping to myself for my entire high school career, that is, until I joined Theatre.

It’s a hot August day in Washington D.C. A crowd of hundreds of thousands of people are gathered, stretching from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument. “I have a dream,” a voice thundered over the crowd. “Tell us about your dream Martin,” a women’s voice replied. “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.’ (King, I have a dream) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, spoke these now well-known words at a peaceful rally, demanding an end to segregation and discrimination and calling for voting

On March 31st, this year, I received my acceptance letter from Berklee College of Music, one of the world’s best contemporary music schools. I was passionate about music since the age of nine, and this passion drove me towards pursuing a career in music. Despite of my family’s urge for me to take the American standardized tests, so that I could apply to universities all across the United States, I remained true to my conviction of applying only to a music school. Thus, my options were few in number. But a (insert metaphor here) of relief struck me when I received my acceptance letter from Berklee. However, looking at the price tag of attending Berklee, I began facing conflict within myself and with my family about attending. Finally, after a lot of thought, I decided not to attend the renowned music school in Boston. My decision to not attend Berklee was a huge set back, but had many advantages and opened doors to many more opportunities.

All my life I have known that I wanted to do something with kids and helping people but I never could quite put my finger on it. At first I wanted to be a performer and maybe start my own children’s theatre. However, in my high school years I kept becoming increasingly interested in talking to people, helping people through hard times and helping people grow. It was what made me happiest in life aside from Theatre. But, as most teens are at some point in their life, I was blinded by the hope of stardom. Musical Theatre is what I ended up choosing for my undergrad degree but halfway through I realized that it wasn’t fulfilling me like it used to.

"You'll never see an object in dream that you haven't seen in your daily life"

“Mom, I am changing my major to theatre”. The year is 2014, I am a sophomore in college, and I have just completed the final run of the show “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone” by August Wilson. I was cast as Mattie Campbell. At the time, I was a journalism major who didn’t really have the confidence to pursue my dream of becoming an actor. However, after completing this show, I was tired of giving half of me to the art that I loved. Therefore, the day before my scheduled academic advisement, I commenced to making a very intimidating call home to my parents to share the news. As I spoke to my mother, there was a long daunting silence, as if I dropped an important cue line on stage. Finally she said, in what seemed to be a deep solemn sigh, “Ok,
