Wake Forest embodies East Coast and Southern academia, like universities such as Duke and the University of North Carolina, Wake Forest is one of the most famed universities in United States history. I became interested in the university when I became a Demon Deacon basketball fan in 2003, while watching the great Chris Paul represent this amazing college. I saw the community that created such overwhelming unity and I immediately knew Wake Forest was the place for me. Since that day in March, I have considered myself a Demon Deacon, and I hope to become one forever next April when I am accepted to this storied university.
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

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.
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
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.
Hello, I am Clara Smith and next semester I will be a Sophomore at APU, majoring in acting. I am interested in this course because I think that the human mind is fascinating and I would like to learn about how it is studied. I chose APU because it is a Christian school and it has a wonderful
The Grays Harbor Community Foundation Scholarship hasn't just helped my education but it has helped me achieve my dream of going to college. Without the scholarship I don't know how I would have came up with the money to pay for college, and for that I am grateful.
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.
Hopkinsville is a small town where schools and churches spin a web of contacts in which natives can find one another by tugging on the correct thread. The intimate nature between my school and the community provides me with worthy yet insular opportunities to volunteer, such as collecting for canned food drives, serving at school fundraisers, and working sports concessions. However, I prefer volunteer work that is continuous, serves the community at large, and satisfies my desire to learn and teach. Discovering such a position outside the well-worn paths was exacting. After searching through various community organizations, I found my solution in the Boys and Girls Club of Hopkinsville. There, I could satisfy my interest in teaching and serving my community, while pushing the edges of my comfort zone.
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
Upon visiting the campus, the sprawling Green lawns and Gothic- style Architecture captivated me. I felt suddenly at home. The close-knit community, wonderful Scottie sisters, and the great town of Decatur made the college much more inviting. I chose to apply to Agnes Scott because of the rigorous academics, the exciting Study Abroad activities both domestic and international, and the extremely dedicated professors who truly value you and your education. Agnes Scott is full of strong, female leaders who show empowerment and a community of unity. I truly believe that Agnes Scott is a college that will change my
When presented with the word community I think comradery, a group of people whom give one a sense of belonging. According to Webster’s dictionary a community is defined as “a body of people having common rights, privileges, or interests, or living in the same place under the same laws and regulations. According to that definition I felt like it was easy for me to identify with various communities all at once.
