Texas A&M constantly reminds me and encourages the students to be a part of something bigger than themselves. This is important because it gives each student a feeling of responsibility to leave this campus better than they found it. At most colleges the students only have the common ground of attending the same university, however at Texas A&M its more than just a university but rather a family. This is one of the major aspects that brought me to A&M, I had heard about the Aggie family and how it is unlike any other college in the nation. In my years here, I have experienced the Aggie family and watched how strangers are bonded just knowing they make up a family together. Each member of a family has responsibilities to help out and serve their …show more content…
In my daily life, I choose to have integrity in everything I do. A person of integrity has good moral character and does the right thing even when others are not around to see. With integrity, people know I am trustworthy and will make choices with the wellbeing of others in mind. Being a person of integrity has played a very big role in my life because people know they can count on me and that I will be loyal, allowing me to receive many positions of leadership and opportunities. I also strive for the quality of compassion, by treating others the way I would want to be treated and going the extra mile to help people. I always try to put the needs of others before myself, and work to serve the people around me. It makes my day when I get to assist and serve others, whether they are students in my class to elders in my church. Lastly, I try to live by the value of diligence in my everyday life in every aspect. Whether it is studying for hours to ensure I make good grades, to dedicating time to participate in organizations on campus, or even arriving to games early and proudly yelling for our Fighting Texas Aggie football team win or lose, in everything I do I give it my all. I set goals for myself and do not stop until I reach
UNC Charlotte has made a significant impact on my undergraduate career because this campus has an abundance of resources, a helpful staff, a diverse atmosphere, and plenty of opportunities for campus involvement. This university has a variety of staff, all of which have been helpful in my college experience. They are excellent about working with students so they can gain the most out of their educational experience. For example, when I have sought out more information on which portion of Spain to go to, so that I may improve my Spanish fluency, my professor was extremely helpful. She sat down with me and explained about what it is like living in Spain, tips for where to go, and what to expect from the different regions. This valuable information
I try to live a life of integrity: I follow established rules with obedience, I do not break any academic honesty through cheating, nor do I cross any moral or ethical boundaries. Possessing a strong, virtuous character is a basic foundation for my life and I will use this trait to achieve my future ambitions while respecting and maintaining honesty with
At my previous university, I participated in many activities within Riverside. On top of this, I have made great friends that helped me to grow as a person. Riverside also provided me with exactly what I needed to achieve my previous goal of working within the business world. This drive to apply for Texas A&M is however not solely based on academics. Having grown up in the North Dallas area from 4th grade to 8th grade, I feel a strong attachment to Texas. It is the state where I grew the most and found myself to be the best person I could be. Paired with the program that Texas A&M offers, I hope to bring my newly found experiences to Texas A&M to contribute to what Aggieland is all
My desire was to challenge myself and pursue my belief in life-long learning. And yes, the last eight weeks have definitely been a challenge intellectually in IDS 101. After the first two weeks of school, I seriously questioned why I would go back to school at fifty-one years of age for personal satisfaction. The days were long and I wasn’t sure I still had the self-discipline and determination that would be needed to finish. Over the last eight weeks, this class gave me numerous opportunities to hone my skills in critical thinking, research, and writing. This class has given me the necessary skills to continue toward completing my degree.
During the next couple years of my life, I plan on graduating high school, and with the help of a grant, attending Clackamas community college for two years. During these two years, I will be a student and be working in order to save money for the rest of my schooling. While I am studying at Clackamas community college, I will be studying under their engineering programs in order to get a head in my Engineering career. After the two years of community college I will be attending a in-state college with an engineering program.
In my everyday life, I exemplify integrity by consistently following my moral or ethical convictions and doing the right thing in all circumstances. To me, having integrity means that I am are true to myself and would do nothing that demeans or dishonors me. I keep your promises even if it takes extra effort. I work when I am supposed to and save socializing, snacking, searching the Internet and personal phone calls for break time. I show respect to coworkers with appropriate conversation and empathy. I am responsible, and I do what I say I will do.
Over the past two years, Oklahoma Baptist University has proven to be a life-changing place for me. I have learned not just about studying and preparing myself for a future career, but also invaluable truths and life lessons that I will never forget.
Growing up in a household, built on tradition and family, going to Texas A&M was
Texas State University is one of the most diverse campuses with so many different ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, political affiliations, and religions. I am a Pentecostal, a strong believer of baptism in the Holy Spirit. Even though I have strong religious views, I believe that I am just like many other people I have met here on campus.
I have spent a great deal of time researching the college that would fit my lifestyle and able to offer tailored programs to fit me. Finally, I decided on Empire State College (ESC), the reason being, ESC’s capability to work in the capacity that I am seeking. The fact that ESC also has a great Military/Veteran program is an enormous plus, and something that I require in a college. Another feature that drove my decision to apply is I will have the opportunity to gain credits from my life experiences. This is a remarkable feature. I have always held the belief that the experience one gains in their career is just as, and at times more, valuable as what one receives in a classroom.
When I arrived on campus, just 22 months ago, I was astounded by the genuine Kent State University community that welcomed me with open arms and kind hearts. There was no better evidence of this than the unconditional and overwhelming support I have received over the last month. I continue to be deeply moved by the outpouring of thoughtful well wishes from so many students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni and community members. Your empathy and caring messages of encouragement remind me of just how grateful I am, and how fortunate we all are, to be part of this truly special
The situation concerning my academic progress was brought about by a combination of multiple decisions I made. During my time on academic probation and the previous summer I reflected on the events that lead to this point in my academic career. In the simplest of terms I over exerted myself as a student. I attempted to remain a working man while taking courses and still attempting to remain involved in the Stephen F. Austin Student community. Through this period of reflection I have created a plan involving the advisorship of a TCC advisor and in the future my stephen F. Austin Advisor.
During my first year at UMD I dedicated much time and effort to ensuring academic success. In tandem to my pursuit for academic excellent I also sought to be involved in the UMD community. While achieving good grades and getting the most out of learning are worthy pursuits, I firmly believe that reaching out to others in various ways helps me to grow and mature. Since sharing my gifts with others will help to improve my educational experience, this year I plan on starting calculus tutoring. I am eager for the opportunity to have a chance to sharpen my leadership skill through this program. When I first got to UMD, I made friends at the Newman Center. I helped out as a student missionary by volunteering to be a small group leader during various
Berry College offers legitimate access to world class faculty, a phenomenal international studies program, and a stunning campus.
I know that Illinois State University is a perfect fit for me! Illinois State is the top school to help me reach my goals in my education. When I visited this summer, one of the things that really stood out to me is the campus. Illinois State's campus is by far my favorite campus that I have visited,- I immediately felt like I’d finally found my home. My tour guide also was so inviting and gave me great information, and I want to be around such welcoming and helpful people for my college years.
