Persuasive Essay On Study Abroad

Being a 9-year-old immigrant, born and brought up in a third world country, Kenya, and moving to Australia was a big step for me. I had no understanding of how life around me would dramatically change. Shifting from a society with dark skinned people around me to almost no dark skin people around me but light skin, from dirty rural areas to clean urban areas, dirty air to fresh air and from an insecure world to an innocent world. My parents decided to move to Australia for me and my little sister’s future. Apparently being educated in Australia was a big deal, according to the media and what my parents had told me.

The study abroad program that I am most interested in would have to be the Semester at Sea. The program is offered in the Fall and Spring. The ship travels to over twelve countries where students are able to gain hands on field experience, and meaningful engagement in the global community. (semesteratsea.org) “Our program exposes students to cultures that most students have only read about in books. Exposure to new cultures and people of the world will give new perspectives.” (semesteratsea.org) “While in each country you will have the opportunity to participate in field labs, field programs and other actives that will help push your understanding of the world into new directions.” I am looking forward to tacking advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity to travel the world. I plan to participate in this program the summer of my junior year here at Bowling Green. I highly suggest Bowling Green to any student looking at colleges because of their; excellent academic programs, social opportunities, and Study Abroad

Imagine waking up at five thirty in the morning to participate in a team workout and practice scrimmage. Then, following a shower and breakfast, attending five hours of college level classes. And, after classes are completed, returning to the gym for practice for three physically exhausting hours. Then comes the hard part: sitting down to several grueling hours of the mental struggles associated with homework. Once the daily schedule is finally over, going to bed after one a.m. in order to repeat it all over again the next day. This is the life of a college athlete. No time to go hang out with friends. No time to go get a job to help pay off college debt. Many people realize their situations and want to compensate them for all of their

Through travelling, I have developed an interest in understanding new people around me. Travelling helps me practice and achieve my desire to understand other people’s perspectives to build better relations with them. UC Davis has a great community inside the school; however, outside the town of Davis it is difficult to find a community to connect with. The isolation within this town is not beneficial in helping me understand those within the university as well around it. Many students are from the state of California, which does not invite new viewpoints and brings together like-minded individuals. Studying in a new state will allow me to open my mindset and also expose myself to new perspectives to help me connect to more people around the world.

“Create, share, and apply knowledge to make Iowa and the world a better place”(Strategic plan 2010-2015) The Study Abroad program allows Iowa State students the ability to live in another part of the world for an extended time. One of the programs mission statements is to ”develop pro­grams that pro­vide oppor­tu­ni­ties for stu­dents, fac­ulty, and staff to explore other countries”(Study Abroad Center). The opportunities created by this program help students gain knowledge in the real world outside of their home country and understand how the world functions. That knowledge thus advances Iowa State and its students, propelling the university higher in the world as a leader.

Here’s a number: 800. That’s about one and a half times the amount of people in our high school. It’s also the estimated number of children who die each day due to diarrhoeal diseases caused by unclean and unsafe drinking water (WaterAid). That being said, here in the United States, almost anyone can walk up to a drinking fountain and clean water will shoot out. My whole life I have taken too many opportunities and freedoms for granted, which is why someday, I want to go on a mission trip to help people in need.

After watching the beginning of “The Most Dangerous Game” movie, I gathered a few clues to predict what would happen next in the story. The first clue I saw was when the female character says “I’m sorry the count was just so interesting, I didn’t realize the Danger.” The way she said danger kind of sounded like she was implying that they were the ones in danger. The next clue was when the count said he was bored hunting just animals, that he wanted to hunt more dangerous game. The last clue that I found was that there were four people, but then the count showed them the trophy room and then they disappeared. Putting together the clues I found, I predict that the Count isn’t right in the head and thinks that humans are the most dangerous game.

Throughout this day in age, the topic of immigration is in the forefront of issues in today’s society having two different point-of-views and many opinions to go along. I agree with Kinsley’s overall opinion that the United States has no obligation to be fair and take more immigrants in under their wing than they can handle and give support financially if needed. During this essay, I will be focusing on the topic of immigration including benefits and receiving education in the United States and will discuss my expectations I have when traveling to a foreign country.

A difficult decision people make is whether to go to college or not. Although not going to college allows one to start working immediately, going to college is still the better option. Going to college provides better job opportunities, a higher income, and a better future.

The debate over whether college is worth it has been a topic of discussion for decades. Going to college is worth it for a variety of reasons. People who go to college and get degrees on average have higher employment rates, larger salaries and get more benefits than high school graduates. People who go to college also have better interpersonal skills and are better prepared for society. Most jobs today require a college degree and jobs that don’t require it, in order to move up the ladder in the company you may need a college degree.

Traveling always force ladies to dwell on their monthly menstrual cycle. It at times becomes very challenging and exasperating if you know that your periods are coming close to your traveling dates and you cannot alter or reschedule your travel dates. Because of lengthy hours of journey, frenzied traveling schedule and restricted time at the disposal could cause tiredness, frustration, which might cause menstrual period to come early or even befall irregular bleeding.

It is time for me to start worrying about college. There are many schools to choose from but one school that I think I want to go to is UC Davis. The problem is, I don't know much about it. Is it hard to get in to? Does it have a nice campus? I want to go to UC Davis, but what does the school expect from me and what should I expect from them?

When in Rome! I chose to pick a study abroad program because I want to explore the world. I think it is a perfect idea to get a chance to travel to another country and earn college credits.

I remember watching Lizzie McGuire as a child and she went to Rome and impersonated an Italian pop star, Isabella. She met this handsome man who took her to tour the city. Everyone eventually realized he was using her to ruin Isabella, but it was still a happy ending for Lizzie McGuire. I wanted that happy ending it looked like so much fun running around Rome. The expenses are outstanding for the trip, but at least I have an agenda all laid out by the program.
