Personal Statement: Why I Drop Out

Noted authors, Brandon Chambers, is quoted saying, “If you are going to fear anything fear success. Think about what you are doing and when you succeed what life you will have.” There are several different reasons why I could stay home, work and not go to college; I could go to work every day and make more money for the house, it’s easier, and I would be less stressed. Now, on the other hand there are many reasons why I should go to school; such as further my education, make my family proud, and make myself proud. I am attending college for several different reasons. One reason is to further my education. I hate feeling like I don’t know something, I like being the person everyone comes to for information. Also, because I want to

Returning back to school was a very natural decision for me. It seemed to be the next logical step in my personal and career goals. My ultimate goal is to be happy and healthy and be a good provider and role model. With that set aside for now, my next goal is to be financially stable and able to provide for my family in ways that my family was not able to provide for me. I definitely expect to work for what I want and earn every bit of it. The most recent motivator was that my company was willing to contribute a huge chunk of the yearly tuition, therefore removing some financial burden. This makes me feel like they truly care about my future and they really want to see me succeed.

I decided to go back to school for many reasons. First of all, it's always been a personal goal of mine to get a bachelor's degree. Over the years, I have taken courses to get close to that goal but I haven't been successful with completing it yet due to life experiences. Another reason I have decided to return to school is because I realize it's going to help with my career. I know getting a degree won't necessarily guarantee a promotion or raise but I believe it will provide more opportunities along the way. My ultimate goal for obtaining this degree is to use it towards getting a Master's degree.

Many high school students succeed with a little leniency through their four years. The transfer from high school to college becomes overwhelming and a struggle for some. For students do not comprehend the importance of changing more than their location during the transition. A student must be psychologically, physically, and emotionally mature to pursue college and not venture into a point of no return. Dropping out of college makes the outlook of the conversion difficult to acquire. Individuals should take their time on deciding which college and/or university is the best match for them. There are various reasons that cause persons not to prosper. Issues that individuals may come upon might leave a lifelong scar. Matters such as these

Second, academic struggle is another cause for the Community College high dropout rates. According to a new study that the vast majority of students overwhelmed by the lack of basic knowledge of literacy and mathematics, and they have to drop out instead of earning an associate degree or a vocational certificate. Especially the first semester, many students had a big headache of the basic algebra, quadratic equations, and writing, and they do not understand what the Professors talking about. Because many students had left school for a long time and they already forgot the knowledge, and it is hard for them to catch up all the learning process. Also, there is a big gap between the high school and college Math. The students should have

My decision to return to school has proven to be a very good choice. I have been successful in banking for 21 years; however, I am in the highest position I can obtain without having a college degree. The goals I have for myself and my future exceed where I am right now in my professional career. By obtaining my degree and utilizing the skills I gain from my higher education journey, I plan to advance my career. I am currently manager of the loan department at a credit union, but I would like my career to develop into branch management roles. Additionally, my daughter is beginning college in the fall and I believe I have set a good example for her, as well as demonstrated how difficult going to college

I intend to pay for college through a combination of merit scholarships, financial aid, work study and family contribution. Thought I have not yet decided which college I will attend, each college that I was accepted to and am currently considering has provided me with varying merit scholarship/financial aid from $4,770 through $31,980. In addition to that aid, I will participate in a work study program at my college which will contribute approximately $3,000. Because my brother's ongoing medical costs are high, my parents contribution will be approximately $5,000. I intend to take out student loans for the remaining college costs.

As of Fall 2012, I decided to withdraw completely from college because I reasoned that if I had no motivation to be in college, there is genuinely no point in taking courses. It is in my character that I should either put all of my effort into something or I shouldn’t.

Yes, while many successful people have dropped out of college, it is important to understand that by doing so they lost their backup plan. By dropping out you are leaving yourself vulnerable, to unemployment in the future, and more often than not you lose the chance to have your dream job in the future. However, there are cases where college is not right for you, so if you are going to drop out, make sure that you do not do it late. We all hear the stories about individuals dropping out a few years into college towards the end of the year, or close to graduation, and it's important to understand that this is the worst possible time to drop out. This is because more often than not, you will not be able to get a refund for your classes making you waste thousands of dollars, that is impossible to get back. This is because many

When I was a 17 year old naive kid I caught a case from a situation that was no crime. An in my mind everything was a joke to me. I just knew nothing could happen to me, " RoShawn Evans - freestyle, folk style and gecko wrestling champion and honor student at Flint Southwestern Academy. " I knew as long as you told the truth, the whole truth an nothing but the truth so help me God in the court of law nothing could possibly go wrong.

The other reason I returned to school is to unleash job opportunity. Currently, all hospitals and other health care setting have been looking for four years’ nurse at an entry level. One of my dreams is a job working in hospital as an emergency nurse because I was working emergency room as a health care assistant when I was in nursing school. I’m very impressed with the nurses those who work in a stabilization room in the ER. Since that I have been fascinated to become an emergency nurse, however, the only way it can be done by getting my BSN. Therefore, getting my BSN is the only tools to unlock the door of job opportunity at hospital and no longer stuck in transition care unit.

When it comes to college I sometimes wish that I wouldn’t have rushed to get out of high school. There is so much that comes along with college that I’m not use too such as: sharing a bathroom, waking up on my own, and sharing a room with a stranger. When I first applied to Arkansas Tech my roommate was my best friend, but after receiving a scholarship for $20,000 she decided to go to Philander Smith. After hearing the news, I was happy that she was able to receive a scholarship worth that much, but I was also angry and sad at the same time because we were officially splitting apart. The part that I hated the most was being kicked out of the room I applied for and being put into a room with a stranger. Moving into the room was very awkward

After more than twelve years of schooling why quit in high school? Your whole life has been built around school. You are so close to the finish line you can make it if you have gotten this far already. Think of all the other opportunities you can have with having a high school diploma. Many older adults who have dropped out of highschool and regret making that decision. You do not want to have that regret your whole life when it easily can be prevented by hard work and dedication until the end.

I never gave up after I thought about dropping the class. After staying in pre calculus for the whole year, it taught me how to break down work step by step and what to do in order to study effectively. My inspiration of never giving up also comes from my dad. All throughout my sibling’s life and mine, my dad’s life goal has been to provide us with everything we need, from love to support, my dad has done it all. He has worked since a very young age and never went to school in order to further his education, all his accomplishments got him to where he is now, having a stable job, great home, and a loving family, all because he never gave up. After all the struggle my dad went through, he will now support me once I get into college both finally and emotionally. As a result I want to make my parents proud and graduate from UCR. Lastly, after I graduate from UCR, I will apply to an optometry school in order to pursue my dream in becoming an Optometrist. I became interested in optometry, after having to visit my optometrist, since I wear

High school is hard. There are bullies, people who harass others. People who have disabilities try harder because they can't understand as well. Kids ask themselves every day: why am I in school maybe I should just drop out. These questions may feel like two sides of the same coin, but there are separate issues here: What are the legal requirements for attending school and dropping out? Even if you can drop out legally, what are the probable consequences? Every state has their own laws as to when a child may drop out. "For instance, several states allow students to leave school if they: have received their parents' written consent and have participated in an exit meeting with school officials are legally emancipated, or are attending high school part time and are either legally employed or enrolled in a private vocational school."
