Personal Experience: Applying To TCU

Once a student graduates from high school, entering college is a life changing experience. Performing community service projects would help a college-bound student develop the qualities that would enable them to better handle college life and beyond. High school graduates should be required to take a year off to pursue community service projects before entering college in order to increase their maturity, to enhance their social awareness, and understand global perspectives.

Too often, today’s culture sends young people messages that emphasize personal success rather than concern for others and the common good (Konrath, O’Brien, & Hsing, 2011; Putnam, 2005; Putnam, 2014; Weissbourd & Jones, 2014). And too often the college admissions process—a process that involves admissions offices, guidance counselors, parents and many other stakeholders—contributes to this problem. As a rite of passage for many students and a major focus for many parents, the

An opportunity to learn from real medical students, to watch how doctors interact with their patients, or to actually take part in medical research would definitely give me some practical experience in clinical trials and a real research lab. These practical experiences would allow me to see the realities of what actually goes on in a lab. I would use this opportunity to understand more about what a career as a medical researcher actually entails, learn more about the scientific research process, and get experience that will help me later when I’m actually pursuing this

Right now, CBU is my top school, and hopefully (if accepted and provided enough financial help ;)) I’ll have the opportunity to attend

This crucial four years of Highschool is what shapes up a person. Things like friends, families, and new experiences are what teach life lessons and morality. I believe that through the service activities I have taken part of this few years, I learned new qualities about myself and new aspects in life. I have learned the role of a leader, all the charitable things service can offer, and I have built a character. What impacted me the most was the “Jessey J Mcray Elementary School” program, and the Service Day activity I did in freshman year. Volunteering is a great way to bring people together and it provides physical and mental rewards for whoever decides to do it.

The College Board Webinar: The College Selection Process: Find the “Best Fit” I attend CollegeBoard the College Selection Process: Find the “Best Fit” webinar. There were two presenters Melissa Caperton, Senior Associate, American Council on Education American College Application Campaign (ACAC) and Dr. Venisa Green, Professional School Counselor, Percy L. Julian High School, Chicago Public Schools. I would definitely recommend this webinar because I have learned a lot how to increase the number of first-generation and low-income students pursuing a college degree. Also I have learned quite a bit about how to help high school senior students navigate college admission process and ensure they apply to at least one college. I am going to

I fell in love with her at the age of six. Her and I were going to be together forever. When the teacher came up to me and told me how perfect we were each other at the bake sale in second grade, I knew. When I went to fairs to sell cell phone cases with my dad and she was always with me, I knew. As we grew older, the closer we got and the more her and I understood each other. At this point, she had turned into a part of me, it was no longer her and I but rather we. Coming to University of Texas at Austin, has admittedly created a strain on our relationship. I was not sure if our relationship should continue, were we really meant for each other? I did not know her, I did not know how we would change the world, but now I do. This is the story

I desire to be a Junior Volunteer at Pardee hospital to assist people, and attempt to learn more about what it is like to work at a hospital. I believe people working in the medical field the field need to be able to look towards the future. In the future I plan to major in biology, and hope to work in radiology when I get older. Volunteering at the hospital could potentially help me get into college.While I am currently a freshman at East Henderson High School I am trying to take classes, join clubs, and plan for getting into college later. I feel like I would be a good candidate for the volunteer program because I am responsible, and think about how my actions affect myself and others before I do them. I have strong listening skills, and

Green and gold pulses through my veins. Not only do I know this, but so does everyone who has ever come in contact with me. When people see me, 97% of the time I am proudly wearing Baylor attire, from shoes all the way to hats. There has never been a question about where I want to attend college because I have always known Baylor is the perfect university for me.

What influenced me the most why I want to apply to CMC is a combination of things. For starters, the location. I was born in Southern California. My dad lives in Palm Desert and my mom lives in Newport Beach. CMC is in the middle. You can’t beat the weather of Southern California. Second, the pedigree that all the Claremont colleges have, but most especially CMC. The dream most people want to attend a college or university with recognition and prestige when looking for that career job. It’s more than just that I want to attend a school that will help me succeed therefore when I succeed I can give back to the school that helped me become successful. The biggest influence to me was the small nature of CMC I want to attend a small school because

We are all aware about the amount of stress that high school seniors go through due to the unpleasant college application process and being able to make effective post secondary decisions. This stress can lead to many downfalls like eating disorders, health issues, headaches, and even suicide. Research shows that the final year of high school is the most stressful due to the difficult college application process and at the same time being able to make post-secondary plans and decisions. Another stressful aspect that all seniors must go through is being able to make financial decisions. Students are apprehensive about the loan process and being in debt their whole lives. This leads to a lot of tension and stress. Having a counseling group like the one I will discuss in this paper will help to decrease seniors’ stress levels and to provide support to students with the aforementioned stress, fear, and indecisions. This paper will cover the following topics: rationale of forming a stress management group, research that shows that first year college freshman are unable to cope with stress and why most commit
