College is a great opportunity that I am blessed to be going through today. I see it as an opportunity to grow as a person and set myself up for the future I want. The success I have in the future will be greatly affected by how I do in college. One person I personally know that inspires me a lot is my father. My father has always been very involved in my life and had a very positive impact on who I have become. He came to the United States when he was eleven years old with nothing. The English language was foreign to him and everything was being risked. The comfort of being in a place you have been all your life and having friends and family surrounding you was gone. Yet his parents knew this was what was best for him, so they brought him over. Things were not easy for my father and some of my family members either. They all lived crammed up in a one bedroom apartment. However, they were not discouraged. My father fought and fought for what he wanted to achieve. I admire him greatly because of how hard working he is. Everything he has accomplished today was thanks to his amazing work ethic. This is what really makes me want to be like him. If I am able to strive and fight like he did, especially with my studies, I have faith I will achieve all I want. In my life, there are things I value very highly. At the top of this list is family. You can have anything in this world, but without family, it is not worth it. Family are the people who love you, motivate you, comfort
Up until high school, I never really knew what I wanted to pursue in. There were so many options and although I did have some idea before entering the 9th grade, I was still waiting to find a subject that I truly enjoyed. During my freshmen year, I finally found that subject – biology.
Sophomore year of high school was a very different experience than the other years of school, mainly because, in English class, we had to use a blog. Most of the time, I used the Chrome browser to access it, but I occasionally used the Internet Explorer browser or Firefox browser. The host of the website was Weebly.com, a company that allows people to create their own website. When we made our blogs, we included many types of essays and reviews to videos or items we saw in class. Often times, this included attaching a hyperlink to a picture or text so that it would be easier to access a certain resource. This class allowed us to learn about certain websites and how they are formatted, like a wiki. Although it wasn’t a good source, we sometimes used Wikipedia because it was the easiest to use and find information about our topics.
It has always been hard for me to properly envision my future, as it is always changing. As a child I thought of becoming a doctor, in middle school I dreamt of becoming a journalist, and my plans for the future are still shifting. However, there has always been one common element among my aspirations for the future, and that is the desire to engage in and improve the lives of others. This central desire is what leads me to choose Georgetown as the school which perfectly encapsulates my interests.
Over the course of a person’s life, there are events that play a vital role in shaping his or her characteristic. These events could be momentarily, or take many years to happen; regardless, it is what we gain from those moments that are important. All my life, I’ve learned how to be optimistic and adaptive to everything that I will encounter.
My family is the most important to me though. My mom and dad are both extremely supportive in my life and give me advice when tough decisions are to be made. My sisters are also extremely helpful to me and I am truly grateful to have them. Whether it’s driving me around to where I need to go, being there when I need to vent my feelings out, or feeding me when I’m hungry, tired, and cranky, they’re always there and I’m blessed to have them. I also value school a lot. Although sometimes hard, I make time for my homework and studying and strive to be a good student. Religion is also very important to me. It gives me hope in times where I struggle to find any. Sports are very valued in my life as they give me an escape if I’m having a bad day or feeling pretty low. I think this quote from coaching legend, Vince Lombardi sums it up pretty well, “There are three things that are important to every man in this locker room. His God, his family, and the Green Bay Packers. In that
"Have a seat," The woman spoke fairly uninterested as if she had done this one-hundred other times already today. I hesitantly walked into the dimly lit room and took up the chair across from the self proclaimed clairvoyant, who currently was stuffing her iPhone into her handbag. The small room reeked of incense, the only window was covered with an embroidered tapestry, and small candles placed randomly around the room was its only source of light. The woman glanced me over for a while before she finally spoke again.
My educational life has provided me with the infrastructure that your position requires. I developed myself at the point of research, self-motivation, entrepreneurship and different skills. I would like to point out that I am extremely selfless and enthusiastic about being effective and fast in my business life, and I want to be interested in the responsibility that the position requires and willing to take on my business. I am aware of that working attentively and carefully will definitely result in success. For this reason, I have no doubt that I can contribute to your abilities and work
The story of my life is awesome and I love remembering it. I remember when I was a child, I was a “danger magnet”. I was getting in danger easily, but I’ve never been in some big trouble. Except one time when I almost ended in a wheelchair. Later, I grew up and started school where I met some great friends. There was a time when I actually liked going to school. Now, that I’m older I have too many things in my life: family, school, girlfriend, my future and much more. It’s stressing me out a little bit. Most of the time I’m trying to not think about my future but I’m scared that I won’t be able to decide which high school to go in. Soon, the 7th grade will start and all that will separate me from high school is going to be 8th grade. I just
My top value would have to be my family. Not only is it something that is important, but it is what has shaped me into the person I am today. Because of this, it is something that is my top value. For if I did not have my family, I would not be able to find myself.
The choice of a college is one that will effect you for potentially the rest of your life. Will you choose the cost affordable state college or the awe inspiring Ivy League? Will you follow the idea of freedom and an easy A or spend the self proclaimed best years of your life working to the bone hoping for the promised payoff in the end? These are not easy questions for someone to answer, especially if that person isn't even believed to be old enough to to buy tobacco or vote. The end of my free education is drawing nearer and I'm now being forced to grapple one of the biggest questions of my young life: What do I want to be?
Everyone has a story, and I am here to share mine. Since as young as I can remember, I always wanted to be a doctor. I am infatuated with giving my all to help others. While this is true, during my senior year of high school I allowed others around me to choose my destiny. My freshmen year of college, I declared my major “petroleum engineering” because I was told that making it out of medical school was tough and most people were not able to do so. It was embedded in my head; they had sold the idea. The first two years of college were rough for me, and it showed in my GPA. The classes were difficult, not because I was incapable of learning the information, but because I had no interest in the information I was learning. I was very involved
I believe that college is an amazing opportunity for young adults to become independent and grow as role models for the next generations to come.
It all started with a passion, enormous shoes to fill. Since my father was one of the top players amongst his peers in Sinaloa. I remember the feeling of just trying to make that varsity roster for my freshman year of high school. From time to time I was told multiple times that i wouldn’t be a good enough player. Maybe I surrounded myself with people that envied me, but at the same time once adjusted they still manifested in my dreams. All I could do is acknowledge it and tear them, not with words but with achievements. One by one they would vanish and disappear but somehow negative vibes still happened to appear. Not From anybody else but from myself. As the years went by my anxiety grew and i became my worst enemy. The summer before my freshman
As I transition into college, I am setting new goals for my education and my life. My educational goals are to continue working hard in the classroom in order to maintain my prestigious grades. I also strive to get involved on campus and make a positive influence on my peers. As a biology major, I aim to absorb as much information as possible so that I may be an excellent teacher. Once I earn my degree, I plan on becoming an instructor of biological sciences on a college campus.
Lets face it, going to college is one of the most important choices in your life. College will help you develop skills specific to their career path and crucial for future job success.
