I am here Ever since I was a young kid I have always been interested in movies. My grandma, who was full of the wise the life experience left, always knew about my interest in movies. She feed my vain for the art. Even though her religion, she professed Adventist of seven-day religion, didn't let her go to the cinema, she always found the way to took me to the cinema. She and I enjoyed watch movies. We used to sit in the darkness room, with our faces illuminated from the reflection of the light which rebooted from the screen, both absorbs in the plot of the movie which made us laughed or cried. After the movie, while we went back to her home, she started to talk about the movie. She had a particular point of view where the main story

The National Honors Society allows students to be build and create traits that are essential in a successful adult. I truly believe that hold many of these traits and joining the National Honor Society will grant me the opportunity to expand on these traits and grow as a person. Thus far I have focus greatly on the scholarship aspect of NHS and have been dedicated to my academics. I have held my GPA above 4.0 and have always been devoted to maintaining that high level of academic success. The skills I have shown in devoting myself to my academics can be easily translated into my dedication for the other aspects of leadership, service and character. Having previously held a officer role in the National Junior Honor Society I have gained experience

Like most young boys I grew up idolizing sport heroes, racing kids on the playground, and playing sports outside. My teams were the Cowboys, the Astros, and later on in life the Aggies. Consequentially, if you didn’t love Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio than I didn’t really like you. Although most of these decisions were made based upon my brother’s sport interest, I learned to love them in my own way. After all, my brother was the one who I played basketball with, threw the football and baseball with, and eventually the one who inspired my love for A&M and the Aggies. For all my life I can remember wanting to play sports and wanting to watch sports, but around 7th grade when my brother moved off to A&M is when I really started getting the sports bug. Visiting for home games, standing in the

Robert Frost once wrote, “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and I, I took the one less travelled by and that has made all the difference. As a young, educated, black man I have already chosen to take the road less travelled. Life is a journey where you stumble and fall, but I elected to not become a negative statistic. While in high school I decided to start my college education early in the pursuit of bettering my mind and proving to my ancestors that their plight is being well-respected.

When I think of Illinois State University, I think of the endless amount of possibilities and outcomes for my future. Not only is it a dream of mine to attend, but I feel as if it could have such an immense impact on the overall direction and quality of my future. Financial hardship has been an ongoing struggle for my family ever since I was younger, therefore it has always been my main goal to break the continuance of that cycle. Attending Illinois State would allow me to be the first in my family to obtain a degree and build a better future for myself as well as my family. My mother has had such a tremendous impact on who I am now, as she has always done her best to encourage and support me wherever my dreams may take me, hence why I’ve gathered the courage to apply.

I have been a nurse for 34 years and have enjoyed my experiences beyond belief, however there comes a time in anyone's life where you have to make the decision on whether to stay stagnant or broaden your horizons. I choose to broaden my horizons and put the many hours of education that I have accumulated into good use. I do get excited about learning and have always enjoyed going to school so this is a dream come true for me to finally get my associate degree. Travel with me as I take the journey to decipher all the events, influences, and obstacles that have aided in my educational decisions. If there was any event that sparked me to come to CCU it was the fact that I see men and women, way younger than me, become leaders over our clinics,

I am a currently a Junior, at Warren New Tech High School, and I just started my second semester. I am a hardworking student, who likes to maintain her academics, as high as possible. I used to always get A and B Honor Roll (Freshmen and Sophomore year), but so far this year I have been able to make Principal’s List, this was during my first semester. I am really hoping that I will get accepted into North Carolina State University (NCSU), it’s considered as my top choice and they have a really significant Agriculture Program. I know how important it is to actually get a scholarship, when you are applying these top colleges, especially if you don’t have a resource for that kind of money. I have gotten very interested in working with farm animals, and I have started my own farm (just chickens now, but more animals will soon come). I also work part-time at a reality, here in North Carolina, on the lake with my

I grew up in a world of little things. I appreciated the details in my daily life - the way my mothers voice changed as she read to me, the innumerable times my father checked his pockets before leaving for work. I liked the comfort of cramped library corners and well explored territory and small state schools. Growing up in Asheville, I considered myself wordly enough- I couldn’t imagine anything bigger than the mountains and stories ever-present around town.

During the year of 2014 there were an estimated 112,600 architects employed and approximately 20% were self-employed. Architects have a high competition for jobs and job positions are estimated to increase seven percent each year (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics).

Kansas State is a great college that is full of opportunities for scholarships and has a wide variety of clubs and degrees.

If you were to slowly pour a handful of table salt into an entirely full glass of water, it would not overflow. Actually, the water level would decrease. The world of Chemistry is full of amazing science like this, which is why I am pursuing a degree in

Being accepted to Auburn University is the greatest remarkable event that has happened to me in the past few months. There is something drawing myself to attend Auburn University and I remain unable to decipher it. I consider myself a worthy candidate for a scholarship as I have abundant leadership skills and I want to become an improved person. I reside in Georgia and that makes me an out-of-state resident and that will increase my tuition; I do not need this situation to stop me from going to my dream school. I love this school to the extent that I just did not bother about all the other schools that I have applied in since I already acquired acceptance in the one school I am interested in attending. Also, I have always liked the idea of

I am a person with a need to be great. A person who leads others in humor and humility, sensitivity and strength. I may fall, but I always rise again and when I succeed, I always reach back to help another person forward. Judging from my current high school career, I embody the core values that Howard holds so profoundly.

In the last ten years my life has been more than challenging. In 2006 my oldest son committed suicide at sixteen-years-old. It took me sometime to pick myself up, and decide to move on, but I have two younger children depending on me so I had no choice. I put my faith in goodness and prayed for strength to move forward. In 2014 my divorce was final, and being a stay at home mom for twenty-seven plus years, left me with little stability or independence. Being a single parent I knew I had to find employment, I applied to many companies for a job only to be told I had no experience. I knew I needed an education to be able to provide for my children. Going back to school, and getting an education, is providing me with the independence and a strong future for my family. Having been out of school for more than twenty years has brought challenges I didn’t contemplate, but I’m a fighter and I don’t plan on giving up. It is my opinion a non-traditional student has more trials than the average student. I am almost expected to have more knowledge of a subject being older, and have possibly worked in the field I am studying. I am

After years of working and attending school part time I am looking towards returning to Montclair State University for a second chance. As a high school graduate, I had an idea of what I was interested in but I lacked the motivation for college. I set my eyes only on work and obtaining a better job. I now realized if I focused on my education I would have invested in my future. I had to put priorities as head of my household to make sure my family was taken care of. I went through financial struggles and personal problems when I first attended college. I was younger then, and learned through my mistakes. Nevertheless, I am older now and have set goals for myself. With hard work and determination, I believe I can finally achieve my dream, but

My goal is to apply to all my college’s on time, early acceptance. It may not appear as an astonishing goal. However, applying to college is the first step to prospering in a world set for one to fail. Applying to colleges means to me that I’ve triumphed my obstacles - child of divorced Hispanic immigrant and self hate leading to lack of motivation, those are things of the past am I right? Now to reach this goal i had to be motivated and determined, which didn't come easy, however, it was not necessary physically obstacles stopping me,more like the atmosphere in front of me. one of my toughest obstacles is simply trying to motivate myself, to push through the pain and negativity. I was on my own to figure everything out with little to no advice.
