Personal Statement: A Career In College

What to do after college? This question plagues many students, who barely think past the next test, but I believe that I will be able to achieve my aspirations after college. The diversity of a finance major excites me because I believe, at this time, that I want to go into the business world, but on the numbers side of things. From the stock and housing market collapse of 2008, I knew that I wanted to demystify the seemingly omnipresent market. As I dug deeper, I simultaneously confused myself, but never lost interest, instead as I faced increasingly complex terminology and processes I continually wanted to learn more.

What do you want to be when you grow up? Is one of the many questions that are asked by teachers and adults. Through the research and development of this paper, I feel that I am finally prepared to answer that question. College has always been in my plans but which college? Well, I have it narrowed down to three excellent and well -known colleges. Ohio University of Athens, The Ohio State University of Columbus and Miami University are the colleges that I feel would foremost prepare me to become an athletic trainer.

Everyone has something that drives them to succeed every day. Some people feel a need to compete with others around them while others feel they need to make their families proud. For me there are two major factors that encourages me to try my best. One is to show my parents that everything they have done for me has not been a waste and the other is my curiosity.

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.

Pursuing college has always been one of my biggest goals to achieve in life. After high school, I will higher my education by attending college. My ultimate goal will be to one day become a veterinarian. The love and compassion I have for animals plays a big role in choosing this course of study. Growing up on a ranch, I am exposed to animals such as horses, cows, dogs, chickens, and rabbits. Tending to the animals and keeping them in good health gives me the experience I need to see if the veterinarian study is fitting for myself. Furthermore, I plan to attend BYU-Idaho which offers a pre vet course that gives students who are seeking to become veterinarians the opportunity to intern at a vet

Graduating high school was an exciting time, but I felt lost. I wasn't sure of my career goals or what I wanted to accomplish at University. When I first decided to attend community college, I felt hesitant because I did not take the traditional route like my other classmates. However, community college was cheaper and would give me time to figure out the career path I wanted to take.

I have always been a fun and happy person. I loved to dance, go shopping, hang out with friends,watch movies with my family and go on vacations. Many people go through adversity that change them in significant ways and I was one of them. My way of getting through my issues was going to activities such as dance, cheerleading, and wrestling and it seemed to be working until one day at wrestling practice where I hurt my foot and had to go to the nurse. At the nurses office I had to take a survey that asked if I had ever been sexually assaulted, I answered truthfully and circled “yes.” I figured they would ask me about it however I didn’t expect them to call my mom and social services. I cried

DI would say, successfully starting over as a non traditional student is my most meaningful achievement to date. While I've achieved most, if not all, goals that I've set to carry out, Most meaningfully, coming to terms with a juvenile decision and not giving up serves as my most telling accomplishment.

I am applying for college admission, educational opportunity programs, and special opportunities following high school graduation. I would appreciate your recommendation to include in my applications.

This story comes after we are made fully aware of the cost of following Jesus, which is the way of the cross, the suffering servant. When Bartimaeus’ eyes were opened he followed Jesus. Jesus, through Mark’s gospel is asking us-now that our eyes are opened to the true nature of following Jesus are you still prepared to follow like Bartimaeus?

To be honest, I am not really sure what profession I want to pursue after college. I would actually like to try many different things in hopes of finding a career that matters to me personally and that is why I am drawn to the idea of a liberal arts education. I am drawn to the schools peaceful surrounding community and its motivation to instill a sense of civic duty. When I visited Bates over the summer I was intrigued by the campus and the students that were still there. The serene nature of Maine was another one of the factors that interested me. I was in awe at how tightly connected the alumni was to the school and how all of the students were treated the same. The idea that no one will slip through the cracks and that the teachers and

When I was at the end of my high school year, I was anxious to await on my diploma. All I could think about was; I'm almost there, and then I will be off to college soon. I was wondering how I would be able to conquer my dreams, and become business woman or math teacher. I was told college was going to be tough, hard to handle, you would get no sleep, whatsoever, and eventually become so stressed. But that did not stop me, my guts just told me to keep pushing forward, and to finish what I had left to do, which was receiving my diploma. After doing so, I did not want to turn back, I wanted to keep going, to see where my life, my goals would take me and how far I will go. I am hoping that as I will be going to CSUN things will change for the

Ever since my brother left off to college in 2006, from the way he described his experiences to me, I saw college as a life changing experience. With a better understanding, I still believe college to be an experience of a lifetime both socially and educationally. Although I want that experience for my undergraduate year, the main purpose of my time in college is to increase my knowledge of study in a major I love in order to soon attend a graduate school of medicine then start a career as a medical doctor.

I was raised by two Asian immigrants, I spent most of my childhood with strict life expectations. My parents cared about pushing me to become a doctor and with that academic success. I rebelled most of it only seeing it as a negative in my life.

Who am I? I'm an 18-year old community college student that has been given the unique opportunity to experience 30-days as an intern in Stanford's Center on Poverty & Inequality.
