Attending The University of Texas has been a dream come true but with that dream came issues. This school year has been exceptionally difficult for me emotionally, academically, and spiritually. The support from my family whether financial or emotional has always been majorly important in my life, last semester that all changed. My family is a single income family in which my father’s income decreased significantly to the point where I had to be fully independent financially. My job that was once for spare change now became my livelihood and became increasingly more time consuming. This event demonstrated to me just how unpredictable the life of an entrepreneur can be even with a proven track record. That lack of security is why I am striving
The hundreds of things I experienced during my time at Lone Star College have forever changed my life. Every professor and student I encountered helped shape me into the person I am today. In high school, I would constantly struggle with my work and dreaded going to class. The moment I graduated high school I was given two options, go to college or move out of the house. Considering that it would be impossible to support myself fresh out of high school, college was my only option. I started off thinking college was a waste of time but I was dead wrong. Lone Star College gave my life guidance and skills that have contributed to my success.
I am a high school senior at Fair Park, looking forward to my first year at Jackson State University in the upcoming fall. My cumulative GPA is currently at a 3.6 average and anticipating to increase next semester. I would be considered the best person to receive a scholarship simply because I go the extra mile to assure my success. Although college is an extensive goal, it could be quite expensive. There is no better way to pay for college than by being awarded money for outstanding academic excellence.
My decision to attend Trinity Valley Community College was influenced by two primary objectives. One was to conserve funds, as this is one of the most useful features of community colleges. The second objective was to maintain a 4.0 GPA. This is where I failed.
Why Tulane? There are plenty of obvious reasons for wanting to go to Tulane. For one thing it’s in New Orleans, and who doesn’t love New Orleans? I live on the North Shore. I could come home every, single weekend and I would never miss a holiday with my family. Groceries and laundry wouldn’t be a problem.
Ever since I was younger I was full of wonder, which could be argued that it translated to a love of math and science. As I began to mature this wonder would keep me intrigued in learning an created an excitement for school. I started my education in Houston and am excited to continue it at such a great school like Texas Tech and thanks to this scholarship that will be possible.
Monday, August 20th of 2018 will be the first day of my college career at Florida Gulf Coast University! Not only does Florida Gulf Coast have my major but the campus is right next to the Gulf of Mexico which is great for a want to be marine biologist.The best part is that Fort Meyers is a small city but it's also close to Floridas best beaches and attractions. I can't wait to start my education at Florida Gulf Coast University.
Growing up with high expectations my mind has always been set on the idea of college. However when thinking of the “right” college for my future, I never knew If I would be able to fully commit and choose which one was best for me. I wanted something that would be comfortable for me that also meets my criteria that would make the college transition a bit easier. Since I’m going into something new, my decision would end up being based on the class sizes, the costs being affordable, the majors and degrees available for Nursing, and the location and how close it is to my family. It was a hard decision however one school had it all, which is why I’ve decided to further this chapter of my life at West Texas A&M University.
Before my admission to Houston Community College, I was lost on how to succeed in my courses. However, my admission to this institute exposed me to different courses which educated me on different lessons on how not only to survive in college, but also how to succeed in my classwork. There are two main lessons that I wish to pass on to other students on how they can flourish in their courses.
In my life, I have had to make made many difficult choices, each with their own consequences, but the most significant choice I made occurred three years ago; I decided to leave my home state of Maine, and enroll in Texas A&M University. This decision has had a major impact on my life, and continues to influence my life today for better and for worse. I've grown to be more independent, but as the same time my debt increases every semester.
As summer concluded the new school year approached, senior year. Not only was this year going to be full of surprises, but also stress about college planning and admission. Having moved to three different high schools I was excited to finally settle at Coppell and graduate in Texas. Even though this location was new to me I was satisfied with how well I fit in. I then decided to apply to schools around Dallas. The University of Dallas offers not only the class-size I was looking for the but also the academic standards and location I was hoping for. The university is very close to my home town as both are located in Irving. Having moved around to multiple schools within my educational career attending a local college would be essential to
I fully understand the reason for my suspension from North Central Texas College. At the time of classes, my grades were too low and did not show my strength as a student. I would like you/ the school to reconsider my enrollment for classes.
I am a junior majoring in computer science. I earned my Associate of Science at El Paso Community College in Fall 2015 and my high school diploma at TMECHS in Spring 2016. This is my first year at Texas Tech University. I am required to take this course, but I’m looking forward to learning how to respond to situations that aren’t so black and
During summer break in august I went there with my grandma.some people might get a plane vasue the trip is so long but for us we drove down.It took us 3 to 4 days to finally get to where we needed to be going.It takes along time to get there only cause from driving so long you will need to rest so we went to a hotel every night and then we got something to eat for breakfast and dinner.
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
The event that I attended was the Texas State Football game on October 1, 2016 with my mother and sister. The event was held at the Bobcat Stadium. The type of format was casual, fun and surprises. I chose this event because my mother and sister were in San Marcos because of the Family Weekend that occurred. So, they wanted to see the football game because my mother loves football and we really wanted to see if Texas State was going to win. I really liked when Texas State scored, fireworks came out. In addition, the food and music were a treat. I, personally, don’t like when the crowd boos the other team. I get it, we’re trying to win. But making noise isn’t going to help, they’re trained not to listen and win. Also, I didn’t like the language
