My college goals are to major in history and/or archaeology; minor in a foreign language, and right now I am leaning towards Japanese; and getting certified in the classics or medieval studies. I also plan to participate in choir, volunteer work, study abroad, internship opportunities, and work study. After I graduate, I plan to get a job at either a museum or a company in order to gain experience. Then, I want to have enough qualities to go on archaeological expeditions around the world.
My College and Career goals include graduating college and getting a job. I wish to attend the University of Alabama. I plan to major in occupational therapy or speech therapy. After I graduate with my bachelor's degree I wish to get my master's degree. After I finish my schooling I want to receive a job that allows me to provide for my family. I wish to receive this job in my degree's field. After receiving this job I wish to improve to reach a leadership role.
“I want to be a firefighter, construction worker, and professional race car driver when I grow up.” This was my proud childhood statement I would use when asked the question, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” This question in particular is one that will be asked awfully early in one’s childhood, as well as very late in a young adults final years before venturing out into the “real world”. Like many other young children, I grew up with the mindset of having a exciting, heroic, and lively job for when I got older. I dreamt of operating heavy construction machinery, saving families while extinguishing fires of a decaying building, and speeding past vibrant and heavily decalled race cars. However, as I grew older and gained more realistic
My life has been like a dark maze. I have absolutely no idea what's around the next corner. Each path I've taken has lead me to one of two things. Something fantastic that I'll enjoy and remember or something I wished never happened that I can forget. That's why I'm scared to take the next step because I don't know what will happen to me. However a few years ago I learned to give to give each step a chance, no matter how far back that step will take me. Being a senior this year a cartoon word has been shoved in my face a hundred times a week. That word is college. Just getting into college is a challenge. Thinking about all my test scores, GPA, applications is enough to give me a migraine. If just getting into a good college is this hard, I
The progression of my education goals are as follows: My short term educational goal is to accepted as a nursing student here at York Technical College. My next goal will be to graduate from the nursing program as a Registered Nurse.
am writing to you to inform you about my progress at City College. City College has become my second house, and I can say I have been taking advantage of this great new college experience. This past semester was very successful, and interesting; I took four classes which I passed with A’s. Even though I took only four classes, at the beginning it was very difficult to adapt to the big classes with hundreds of students, and long hours of study in order to past tests with good grades. However, all the efforts made this semester helped me to discover new passions on me that did not exist before.
Science can be complicated, but it is one of the subjects that explains what goes on in our world. Throughout high school, science courses were always my favorite. I decided that my major of choice for college would be biology: the study of living organisms. Grogan College’s curricular focus “is the development of the professional self in the areas of health, medicine, nursing, education, criminal law, business, and the performing arts”. Looking at that statement made me realize that this residential college is my best fit. The words that captured my attention are health, medicine, and performing arts. As a color guard performer and biology major, it is important that I continue performing as an outlet, as well as increase my research skills.
A family sitting around a dinner table, refugees being placed into healthy environments, a house full of family and friends, these are all images I conjure up when pondering my future. I wish to begin my journey to obtaining this fantasy by pursuing college. College represents an extremely important piece to my future and to get there, I must work extra hard. I see myself attending a University to attain a masters degree in global studies. To be able to get to that point I must reach out and ask for help, the reason for applying for scholarships. After college I would like to locate a job somewhere in the south, such as Tennessee. Once I've had a few years of settling into my career, I enjoy the idea of starting a family. Yes, this does involve
My college goals include transferring from Merced College to Stanislaus State University. I began the application process in November. I will complete my requirements here at Merced College this semester for my Associates Degree Transfer. I'm majoring in Psychology and hope to receive my Bachelors in Arts at Stanislaus State. My career goals include attaining an instructional aide position as soon as I receive my AA from Merced College. I haven't had any luck applying for that position however, I'm hopeful my luck will change. I have attended approximately eight to ten instructional aide position interviews and volunteer at a local Elementary School in Chowchilla. I believe the more education I receive, the better a candidate I will become
As each day comes closer to the start of college, the question becomes how will I survive the 4 years of college? How will I avoid being part of those who drop out? How will I pay my gap? How will I pay my college books, fees, etc.
I am attending college, so that I will be able to learn more about my major and also to explore my options. While in high school, I had many reasons and people that motivated me to enroll into college, including my mom, my guidance counselors, and research on what I want to be later on in life. Although I was already going to apply for college, I heard a lot of good things about it from a few of my friends, on how college really makes you a stronger and more independent person. In the past few years, I’ve met quite a few people who have graduated high school and decided not to attend any college, and sooner or later I hear about how upset they are that they did not attend and how they have no idea what to do with their life. I did not want
I have been in college for two years now, and I have been to two colleges. For my first semester of freshman year, I attended a college in North Carolina. I am not giving out the name of the college for obvious reasons but it was my dream school. Once I got there, I soon realized that being 19 hours away from home was not for me. I left after only one semester and now I am almost half way through my third semester at a community college in my town. In the fall, I will be transferring AGAIN to another four-year college, but this time it is only one hour away…18 hours closer than the first college I went to! Okay, okay…back on track. Although I had some awful times at the college in N.C., I did though, meet a wonderful human being. My
Following commencing college, I would often miss work just to complete my assignments before the due date. Being enrolled in an English class, I quit slacking off and put all my attention into my school work. Therefore, I became responsible and also attempt to complete my tasks. At the time when I did not attend college, nothing actually mattered except for buying new shoes weekly. In my opinion, I was a spoiled brat that had everything handed to me. Being in college, I learned how to manage my money also having a weekly budget. I too began limiting myself from purchasing beer, however, that usually does not work out. As a matter of fact, I learned how to become independent. In fact, I am not such an immense asshole like I used to be.
The most valuable goal I have set for my college experience is to become independent. Whether this is achieved through independent thinking or future financial stability, Georgia College offers an advantageous environment towards achieving this goal. While I am already very independent for a high school senior, I will be the first one to admit that I do not have all the answers and I do not know everything. Going beyond a general education, Georgia College creates an environment where critical thinking is not only encouraged, but it is expected. At GC, knowledge and logic are held in high esteem. I crave an environment where my questions will not only be answered but encouraged. While students are held to this standard, it is increasingly evident
For the first two and a half years of my college career I attended Sterling College. Sterling was a small, private, four year Christian college, where I had the opportunity to run track and cross country. I loved the Ed department there, however, transferring to K-State was the best decision for my family. I got married the week after my freshman year had come to an end, and my new husband got deployed to Kuwait shortly after, and then Iraq. While he was gone I decided to return to SC, and not let my track scholarship go to waste. When he returned last March we made it work with him living in our home here, and my living two hours away. It was very difficult, we had weekend visits, and then I came home. Well, we tried it again this fall and
After I got diagnosed with scoliosis at the beginning of my sophomore year in high school, I was advised that there were now specific activities that I needed to stay away from so that my curvature would not grow in degrees. One might think that this consumed my mind and drove me to agony; nonetheless, it was surprisingly the time of my life where I actually gained an understanding of what I wanted to do after college, and for the rest of my life. Throughout all my visits at Shriners Hospital for Children, a nurse practitioner worked with me not only to improve my diagnosis, but also to truly educate me on my condition. At that moment, I realized she had great importance and many people relied on her for their well-being; undeniably, this prompted
