I would like to be in the AVID program to help with planning my future. I have been putting in lots of work on finding the right college for me. Nobody in my family has ever been to a university I am looking more at universities for college. My parents have helped me look into many professions for a lifelong career. The Gear Up program has also helped me greatly with this. The Gear Up program has helped me in my college planning and my life beyond high school. I am working on going to Emporia State University tour over the summer that is put on by Gear up. The Emporia State University trip will be shared with students from all over Kansas. I will even get to go to some of the college classes offered at Emporia State University. The Emporia State University trip will expand my knowledge of colleges and what to look for. …show more content…

The reasons I want to be in Upward Bound. I have heard so many great things about this program and would like to experience it for myself. I would like to show off my academics. They are good but I think that Upward Bound can help me take it to the next level. Also, show my extracurricular activities and how this program will benefit me.
Hello, I am Anahi Ceballos-Tapia and I am currently 13 years old. When I’ve first heard about the AVID program, I was very skeptical about what this program benefits. After asking which program would suit me the best for my future education, I’ve chosen to participate in this particular program. I feel that I have the skills and determination to have this course in Everett Alvarez High School. Therefore, I would like to be enrolled in AVID for various reasons. My foremost reason on why I want to be enrolled in AVID program is considering that it will help me tremendously on my academics in school, which would apply to helping me learn how to be successful all the way through college. Secondly, I would like to be in AVID since this class can
I would love to attend Wake STEM Early College High School because I believe it will give me a head start on my learning after the high school level. Your program will improve my college experience and save thousands of dollars in college tuition by giving me an associates degree and high school diploma upon graduation. I am also exceedingly interested in a career in science or mathematics. I have always been focused on learning science and math because it is something I love to do and I can have a successful career in the future by using those skills. I understand that attending this prestigious school will require a certain level of maturity and willingness to work hard. As an 8th grader at West Lake Middle School, I am a member of the National
Adults and peers have described me as dependable, fair, honest, trustworthy, intelligent, empathetic, respectful, and friendly and I do my best to live by these characteristics. One of my main mottos is to treat others the way you want to be treated. I am by no means a perfect person and I try to accept help and criticism whenever it is offered in an effort to keep improving upon my character. I am a reliable student, sister, daughter, and friend. I believe I would learn a lot from being a member of this program because being surrounded by peers with similar moral and academic character would allow me to do even more to make my community a better place. This would be a perfect opportunity to benefit from any experiences this program has to offer me and make a positive impact on my school and
I have learned that society has made a mold to conform you to what they want you to be. I want to let people know that they are not obligated to fit it that mold, that they can bust right through it. Being apart of the AICE program will allow me to reach my fullest potential. It will allow me to expand from the normal, and feed my thriving hunger for knowledge. I can bring new concept of learning to your program. Not for learning to be a overhaul of work but a passion filled experience. I believe that the AICE program is not only a rigorous learning opportunity, it is as close to the determination of the 11 year old me watching documentaries on PBS. After high school I intend to attend college and major in journalism. I intend to be an example for young adults who feel that they are unworthy and show them my journey that they can do to I just need the AICE program to help me get there and I can help make the change we so desperately need in this
My personal goals is to one day create and produce my own animation show, which spreads positive awareness about mental health, different viewpoints, and what it means to help one another. As well as displaying diversity so that whoever watches, feels represented and can relate to the characters. This has always been a goal for me, ever since I was a child. Coming from mainly Japanese and Italian descent, I never felt represented in the shows I watched. I believe I am an appropriate candidate for the Irvine Valley College Honors Program because I am resilient in my studies.
I want to join the FIU Honors College because it offers its students the opportunity to obtain a greater involvement in FIU and the community as well as being able to pursue their academic interests with a diverse group of individuals. This is something I would love to be a part of and contribute to during my upcoming years at FIU.
The first reason I feel that I am a deserving candidate for this program is that I enjoy taking on new challenges and tasks. I feel this program would be enjoyable for me, getting to explore new places such as colleges and learning about the iBelieve program. I
I became part of the AVID program in eighth grade, I had no clue what the program was about; most of the time we worked on subjects that we needed help on, learned how to be organized, and practiced public speaking by having small socratic seminars. In a way, the tactics that my eighth grade AVID teacher taught me helped me become successful for my college preparation it helped improve my grades in the classes that I was struggling in and pushed me to take challenging courses. In my sophomore, junior, and senior year of high school, I spent my time reviewing different schools around the state and out-of-the state browsing through the financial aid assistance, majors and minors, location, and diversity to choose from. Junior year was the best
Being in an advanced class such as honors will make me push and strive more for my goals.
If I am chosen to attend VPAC Early College I will be able to achieve one of my many dreams, going to college. College has always been something I thought I was unable to do, but with this program I will be able to do something that was seemingly impossible a few years ago.
I became distracted and I ended up not performing as great as I hoped due to not taking my grades seriously. I had a low quality work ethic, and was not very organized or motivated. I also felt cluttered when it came to making my own decisions, such as having to realize that school is a huge priority in terms of my future career goals. Transitioning into my sophomore year, I realized I need to be more responsible and be a self-advocate if I wanted to succeed. I applied to two programs that I knew would help me balance out the difficulties I faced freshman year. AVID was the first program I joined which helped me learn to stay organized. I eventually applied to College Possible, which provided a very strong support system when it came to ACT preparation and applying to college. Each program also provided a coach who pushed us to go beyond our abilities in order to become self-sufficient beyond our high school
The academic middle, as defined by AVID, are students whose GPA is 2.0-3.5 and are proficient on Standard Tests for ELA and Math. In addition to serving the academic middle, the AVID program also aims to close the achievement gap among predominantly minority and low-income students without a family history of college attendance (Galindo, Green, Kupczynski, & Mundy, 2013). AVID’s college readiness design is to increase the number of students who enroll in four-year colleges and universities through the AVID support system, which includes the AVID elective. At the secondary or high school level, AVID students are also enrolled in rigorous courses such as Advanced Placement® (AP).
My current focus is entering the Respiratory Care program at Northeast Iowa Community College. A college degree will assist in ensuring that one day I can be an adult capable of facing adversity, capable of giving back to the community, and capable of being an example to others as my parents are to me. I do not expect the college experience to miraculously transform me into a knowledgeable adult. However, I am relying on it to help me grow, mature and learn.
The reason I am interested in this program is because I want to have real experiences. I no longer want to look at life through a computer screen. I want to be the one researching and challenging myself in every possible way. I am a very open-minded and ambitious person. I am prepared to tackle any task that comes my way. I have little outdoor experience, but I want nothing more than to learn. Adventures are the best way of learning so this position was naturally appealing to me. This program will give me the opportunity to apply what I learned in class to the real world and allow me to escape the ordinary. I am a freshman in college with a massive desire for learning. I wish to leave my own trail and be the ripple in a wave that will produce
