Personal Statement: I Want To Gain A Degree

I have been able to successfully handle a professional career while successfully maintaining a 3.2 GPA. I have also been able to be a role model for my two teenage sons and teenage brother. I was the first college graduate in my immediate family. I have showed them that I have the ability to overcome obstacles that has crossed my path while obtaining my degrees. I feel that I have given them the perception that regardless of what happens in life, if you set my mind to something you can still achieve it. It may be harder but with strong will determination the impossible is possible. I pray that my efforts has given them the initiative they need to continue their education and achieve the goals they have set for

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

When going into the 5th grade, I would drive by kipp every single day. Every time I would drive by, I would constantly tell my mom that I wanted to attend kipp my 5th grade year. When I got accepted into kipp, I was so excited. At the age of 10, I was being introduced to college. My very first homeroom was Brown University. Kipp pushed students to want to attend college to better their futures. I stayed in kipp from 5th-12th grade. Those years in kipp, we went on plenty of college tours so that the students could get a feeling of how college is. In high school when preparing for college, kipp offered so much help when it came down to ACT prep and also preparing for college interviews. Kipp offers plenty of support, they want to see their students shine. For instance, in my 12th

My children look up to me, so I have to show them how to be successful, by continuing my education.

A long term educational goal for me was going back to school after 4 years and a second child. I kept putting it off for months and months .I was extremely intimidated due to the fact that I had two kids to support and; I would only be able to work part time. Finally I had to drive to greenwood to see the dermatologist and I said that would be the day I go to Kaplan. To make sure I reached my goal I started by cutting down my work hours and keeping in touch with my advisor. My goals were achieved after a month and I was proud it made me feel like I could achieve anything as long as I put my mind to it.

Going into college, I expect many challenges. The biggest challenge I expect is all of the environmental changes. For eight years now, I’ve been attending Julia R. Masterman School. For eight years, I’ve seen the same people, at the same place, every single day. Every day, I’ve woken up to the same daily routine. I wake up, go to school, come home, eat, sleep, and then repeat. Usually, there’s someone to wake me or feed me, but in college, there won’t be. Ultimately, I’ll be responsible for myself and everything single thing that involves me.

Getting a college education was never a thing I saw myself doing as a child. College wasn't a coveted thing in my household, I was always told that I needed to get a job and work for the rest of my life and that if I didn't do well in school, then I wouldn't get into any college. I had never been the best student, so I assumed that I would never get to go to college. I only recently started wanting to get a college education because I really want to work in the United Nations. Even after graduating high school with acceptance to a university overseas I thought I should take a year off to think about if I really wanted to continue my education or not.

College has always been that light shinning up ahead. Something I look forward to with a sense of wonder when I spend my time stuck in a small town in the middle of nowhere. After dealing with strict parents, intense classes, and numerous extracurriculars, I daydream about the life I have been working so hard to make come true. I know that when I get to college, all the seemingly endless hours of work I put into making my application sparkle will be worth it because I will be independent and away from the drama of my family while learning the information needed for my dream job. It seem that most of the time spent in high school is used to prepare students for university. All of the time that my teachers and parents invested in me leads me

Education is something that is often taken for granted. The pursuit of learning is not always met with energy and excitement and I have understood the challenges that school can bring. The challenging parts of school, however, are necessary to personal growth. Throughout my years of schooling through middle school and through high school I noticed how I would sometimes have to push myself harder than other people to be on the same level as others, and would often become frustrated in my efforts. As I have graduated and aspire to become a doctor, I have realized how important frustration and struggle is to education.

"It does not matter the road you take, or how long it takes you to reach your goal, it only matter that you reach it in the end." (-Anonymous) I start my morning off with this quote daily. To me, it represents who I am on so many levels and why I want to be a nurse. I have not always wanted to pursue a nursing degree. I have always known the medical field was my passion, but I often thought I was needed in other areas. I can look back now at the paths I have gone down and can see how each path God used to show me where I truly needed to be.

When I was going to high school I was thinking of going to college to finish my schooling and to say I had finish my school and to have my adulterous of me. Before my mom died she wanted me to finish my schooling because she didn't wanted me to end like my mom and dad without a college diploma or degree. I wanted to join Colorado Christian College because I do go to church on Sunday's and Wednesday's and I wanted to have a degree that will help me with my goals for the feature. My goal is to get a degree and have my mom's last wish when I went to the hospital. I wanted to go to college to finish my degree because someday I would like to have kids and they will say my mom did college I can. I actually wanted my church and family and friends

Most of my adult life, I have wanted to do well in life, make the right decisions, and follow the right path. As for college, I was worried I was not capable of completing it. Watching my children grow has changed my way of thinking. Now, I want to do well for them. I’m determined to see my children complete college. It’s difficult for me to have these expectations of my children, if I haven’t completed college myself. I want to show them that it is not an impossible dream.

College is a privilege that everyone should get the chance to achieve. Many people do not get the chance to go to college and achieve their dreams. I am one of the few students who has had to chance to live out my dream of going to college and taking one step closer to the life of adulthood. My major is Management and marketing, and I plan on perusing a great career in business as soon as I graduate. In 5 years I see my self graduated and moving out of state or even country to fulfill my dream of working in a top rated business and being able to travel the world. This scholarship will greatly help me with this not only dream but goal of mine. Wearing glasses, is what I have worn my whole life and I would not have been able to see and do the

I don’t want to be like my abusive father or be struggling financially like my mom is. I deserve more than to live in a trailer park and my mom definitely deserves more than what she has. I will be accepted into a 4 year college and I will walk out of college with a diploma despite people who say I’m not good enough. I want to prove to everyone that even a kid like me who seems like just an ordinary student from an immigrant family can accomplish his dreams. I know there are students who may be more prepared than I am, but I am a quick learner and so far I have done a good job keeping up in school despite not having any support. I’m not just going to college for my mom or for myself, I am going to college so I could help people and if I can’t do that then I want to at very least make their lives a little better because even at the age of 16 I can see how hard life can really

I know years ago I would not have been able to write this essay, but the last seven years have shaped me and prepared me for such a time as this. For years I wanted to finish my bachelor’s degree, I had considered an English degree, I wish to be a writer and fancy myself to be an amateur writer actually; Yet the truth is at the time I was newly married and working on building a life and family with my husband, and that was my focus. So I was thinking of being a wife supporting my husband and when he was done with school and his goals I was going to focus on me. But I looked at schools planning yet not making definite plans as I looked at secular schools even an English degree with and emphasis in creative writing still didn’t fully appeal to me. Suddenly life took
