Personal Statement: My Plans For College

I believe the teacher that has the most impact on me was Mrs. Green. Mrs. Green taught public speaking and it was my hardest class. I had to push myself outside of my comfort zone and talk in front of a room full of people at least once a week. I hated talking in front of people. This class helped me to develop my ability to speak in front of people and become comfortable with who I am. I was not the kind of person who likes to have everyone watch me. For me to have 20 people actively listening to my ideas made me more than nervous, I was terrified of making mistakes. It was through this class that I learned that even if I made mistakes during my speech, the only one who knew that was me.

Senior year, the best time of our lives and the last step in this chapter of our lives. This is the time when we have to buckle down and finalize our future, but in reality, it is not. Although we may plan what we want for the future, the things we want are not always the things we need. All we can do is work hard to achieve our goals and meet the standards we have set for ourselves in order to achieve as many of these plans as possible.

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

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.

Everyone has had that one teacher who inspired them, and who made coming to school every day worthwhile. My teacher was my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Eardly. She went above and beyond to be a good teacher to me, went out of her way to make sure I was taken care of, and inspired me to be a better person.

There are several teachers who have inspired me since I started school many years ago. If i had to decide on the one teacher who has made the greatest impact on my life, it would be Coach Mike Hammons. Coach Hammons teaches middle school World History at Flintville Elementary School. Coach Hammons has inspired me in many ways. When I’m in his classroom, he makes learning fun for me. He loves to be around us students. Finally he’s funny. Coach Hammons is probably an inspiration to not only me, but every student he teaches.

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

I know I will be successful in college because of the commitment I have given to my academics, and believe my grades reflect my dedication. For two semesters in a row, I have received a Certificate of Excellence for having a grade point average of 4.0 or higher in both the spring and fall semesters of 2016. In my final term of high school, I am working to achieve that same recognition. Additionally, I feel learning is not just about the time spent in school, but what happens outside the classroom. The diverse extra-curricular activities I have participated in range from athletic teams, to volunteerism, to leadership responsibilities. I pride myself in experiencing a plethora of adventures that have helped me mature as a student, athlete, and

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

Instilled since childhood, we were all taught to pursue a college education. When asked about attending a postsecondary school or program, the hands of each student would shoot upwards into the air as if their dreams were already in reach. In fact, many students consider a college education worth the time, money, and energy since in the long run, the effort will pay off in the form of higher salaries, steadier careers, and an overall healthier standard of living. However, though I believe attending a college is important for all the same reasons, I also consider universities to have much more to offer than the amount my paycheck has to offer each week. Completing a postsecondary program is an opportunity that can provide the resources never

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.

Some love Mozart. Others prefer The Beatles, Johnny Cash, or Eminem. For me, however, the most beautiful sound in the world is a basketball dribbling on an old, wooden gym floor.

The teacher that has inspired me to further my education is Mrs.Vera. Before Mrs.Vera became my teacher she was my cheerleading coach. Even while she was my cheerleading coach she taught me things that I did not know about myself. When I started cheerleading I was very shy and did not speak unless I was spoken to. Mrs.Vera helped me come out of shell during cheerleading so I could work on speaking to others. She really got me involved more with the team and she made me do things that would teach me how to be a leader and not a follower. Now thanks to Mrs.Vera I have made friends that I will have for the rest of my life.

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

Three years ago, my father would have been all of the inspiration I needed to keep myself motivated inside and outside of school. He was one of the few people who always believed in me and surprisingly enough, even though I hardly ever had contact with him because he was always in and out of jail, he seemed to know me more than most of the people that surrounded myself with.
