My Dream In High School

In my years after my High School Graduation, and into my college life, I have many goals set in mind for what I want to achieve. My first goal is to graduate from high school finishing with a 4.0 as one of the valedictorians. I wish to continue working very hard in these last two quarters of school. After graduation, I want to attend Bluffton University and study Nursing for four years. I think that getting a nursing degree fits my personality well and that I will highly enjoy that career in my lifetime. I will pursue my Track and Field career there as well, and plan to improve my skills.

Next year, I will be attending Jonathan Law High School. When I am a freshman, there are a lot of things that I want to accomplish. Some of the goals I have are that I want to accomplish by the end of the year are: to be on the volleyball and softball team, and I want to make new friends. I also want to take some more difficult classes and pass them and join some clubs.

Going to college, is where your journey in life really begins. Choosing the right college for you is one of the biggest decisions you make in life. I choose California Baptist University to enhance my studies, meet people pursuing the same passion as I am, and become closer to God.

Many people go to college to get a further education to get the job they always dreamed of. However, deciding where to go can be tricky. Sometimes others' opinions may persuade you to decide to attend the college they want you to attend. Or the pressure of a loved one makes you decide to attend elsewhere. Perhaps though it’s the cost, but its possible to attend if you truly put your effort in. Regardless of the distance, pressure and cost, I believe you should go to the college you want.

The big question that is asked when going to a college is why do you choose our college. Well let me tell you. There are thousands of colleges to choose from and I decide on Lake Land College, because they have the program I want to eventually be in. They are affordable and they are always willing to help you with any problems you have.

College is very different than high school. So many challenging homework and courses to participate in. That is why my three goals for my career are as follows: I want to receive my college diploma, get a better career path, and learn some new things. There are many things I have to do in order to achieve these goals. With hard work and dedication, I am ver confident I can do this.

It’s not about choosing a college or university, it’s important to at least go to one to make something better of yourself and be something in life.The steps in think in my opinion are like asking questions to counselors or someone who knows about college and not just you that should ask your parents, according to Katy Hopkins,”Go back to school: Students and parents should have unanswered questions by the time they send their deposit to a school ”(2). When you already have an idea on what you want to be and you are already trying to find a college\university just follow the step that Hopkins said,” Delve into the departments: Students and parents may look to college rankings to help make a decision”(2). these

So, you decide you want to go to college. Do you know all of your options? Every student is different with their reasoning on going to college and learning style and want to choose what college fits best for them.  It is a cultural assumption to simply thing that bigger is better, but is that always the right choice?  Attending a smaller college and a much larger college has similar outcomes, but differ on cost, learning atmosphere, and activities.

I struggled with social anxiety and attention deficit disorder. These disabilities were challenged daily by the standard learning expectations. The task of comprehending material was strenuous, which made me consider dropping out on multiple occasions. The teachers were puzzled on how to help me learn and assigned me into a special education class. Special education educators soon discovered that I was further advanced than the other students in that class. Educators were stumped on how to benefit my disabilities and decided to keep me in the special education classes. I felt misplaced and misunderstood that lead me to start behaving in inappropriate manners. This behavior caused my life to spiral downwards. Some claimed that the disability was all in my head and that it was just an excuse. Over the summer, I was trapped inside learning while I watched other children my age playing. To this day, I still struggle with the balance of work and

Growing up, I always had trouble in school. All through my academic career up to high school, my mother would have to hold special meetings with my teachers to arrange for time after school for me to work on assignments with a teacher or be tutored, extended due dates, and opportunities for me to turn work in for half credit in an effort to help me pass. The story from my teachers was always the same – “he is very intelligent, but he just won’t do the work.” At that time, I was seen as a rebellious child/teen. The truth was I had trouble focusing and attending consistently to the various assignments that didn’t interest me. After dropping out of college in 2004, I felt as though I didn’t have many options for my future career. My mother worked for the state of Missouri and spoke with her friend who worked in the Vocational Rehabilitation Department about how I should seek out job opportunities. After telling him my school history, he said, “Maybe he should come in for testing.” No one prior had ever mentioned this idea before. After a day of being tested for various learning disabilities and learning deficits, I found myself diagnosed with the learning disability, ADHD.

Throughout the course of my high school career I have many goals I would like to pursue. One of those goals includes being accepted into both a two and a four-year college so I can hold a Bachelors degree in Science. When I do get accepted into the two and four-year colleges, I plan on working while attending school. Although this goal may be challenging, depending on my classes, I’m going to need a job to support myself. My GPA in college will maintain a 3.7. My field of study will consist of a Radiology program as well as an Ultrasound program to become a Radiology tech/Ultrasound tech. These two fields will allow me a greater chance of finding a job, plus it will supply more yearly income. After college I will be using the knowledge I gained

A big school or small, public or private, urban or rural; these are just a few of the many difficult deciding factors I faced during my college selection. At the height of my selection process, I had applied to ten schools ranging across all those factors. I was completely unsure of what I wanted to do with my life yet and had no idea what type of school I wanted. My mind wasn’t set enough on the future and I was too worried about getting through high school and working my full-time job. As it got closer to spring, I had to start making some decisions. Ultimately, I narrowed my deciding process to three factors to specifically analyze to make the right decision. Beginning with reputation, followed by student life, and lastly the financial cost to attend.

College can be a pretty intimidating change. It is an entirely new lifestyle. You have to do everything on your own, without any help from parents or guardians. So, when you choose a college, it should be the perfect fit for you. I’m planning on researching two different colleges- Duquesne University and Temple University. When choosing my future college, I will think about the majors they offer, the location that they are in, and the extracurricular options that the university provides.

What makes a student accept one college over another? What makes a graduate excited over receiving a “Yes” from one college over another? One would probably say the “better school”, however, which school is the “better school”. College acceptance all begins with personal preference. Do I want to live far away or close to home? Do I want to attend a four year or two year college? Do I want a school that offers several sports or internship jobs? The list goes on and on, but college is a personal choice based on who you are, what you want to do, and how you want to reach your goals in life.

As students begin their senior year of high school they are constantly bombarded with questions about their plans for their next years in the real world. We seniors often find this decision challenging as we compare the different costs and programs each college or university can offer us. Not only do we have to choose from the thousands of universities across the country, but as well as the different campuses each college may provide. Before my senior year I had little knowledge when it came to colleges. However, through my own research to find out what college may be the best fit for me I have come a long way and have been able to narrow my search down. I have learned that for many big name schools it is common for them to have a main campus
