Strong Work Ethic

The initial shock of the significant workload and expectations can take their toll, but good time management skills can prevent multiple late nights in a row to get assignments done on time. Kelci Lynn Lucier has worked in higher education for ten years, and has experienced students struggle to try and find the balance between extracurricular activities, personal activities, and education priorities. Luckily, Lucier has four tips to help best use the time provided in a day. Lucier’s first step focuses on managing ones academic time and how it needs to be the top priority above all other curricular activities, stating: “It's important to remind yourself why you're in college in the first place: to graduate” (Lucier). Lucier’s second step is be able to manage personal time, she talks about how unrealistic it is to always be working, studying, or learning, she wants students to try and find time to do something fun with friends or a club. Lucier’s third step is to wkeep the students health in mind, it does no good to stay up until two in the morning studying over a history mid-term, only to be half asleep for the test anyway; sleep is important and without can only increase the stress. Lucier’s fourth and final step is to not be afraid to seek help with your time management, she states: “The most important thing to have for time

When I considered going back to college, I decided to look my schedule to see if I could make time for homework. I was hesitant because I already had a full schedule, so I decided I needed to take a course that would work for busy working adults. After my first week of homework I realized, the perfectly planned schedule I thought I had was a joke; I had no time management skills. I was just fighting whatever fire was blazing at that moment. Furthermore, I was exhausted at the end of the day, and only about half of the items I planned to complete would get done. According to Pothukuchi (2008), independent people take on way too many tasks which can interfere with their ability to manage time. Since entering college, I now understand the need for good time management.

My favorite college and the college I would like to attend is Indiana University. The college was established on January 20, 1820 in Corydon, Indiana (“Indiana University Bloomington.”). It is currently in the city of Bloomington (southern Indiana), which has some of the best scenery in the country. Indiana University is a public college. Some benefits of attending a public college like IU are the price difference, more activities, easier to get in, and they are more culturally diverse ("Advantages of Attending a State University: An Overview."). In this beautiful area, there are International Music Festivals throughout the year. Indiana also has one of the most iconic basketball arenas in the United States, Assembly Hall. IU is known for many

The fall months can be a stressful, but rewarding time for me. Being a member of the dance team and marching band often takes up a majority of my time outside of school. Many days of the week, difficult homework assignments were a part of my daily workload; these nights often became tiring and stressful. At times, all these activities imparted a large amount of stress for me, and posed challenged me to be successfully in all activities. In order to succeed through this difficult period, my time management skills were necessary. I learned to prioritize different assignments and projects in order to complete them in a timely fashion by setting long and short term goals. Through my time management skills, I learned that all obstacles, big or small,

At IU, I plan to not only find what I want to major in, but also make a difference. Volunteering is something I love to do, so either joining a sorority or a community service club is something I know I will do while attending this school. Another reason I knew I wanted

As an honor student, I have made the call to further my education at a four-year university. My parents never went to college; I would be the first in the family, and I am proud to achieve that honor. I have been accepted to multiple schools, but I have not fully committed myself to one college. As of right now, Indiana University is at the top of my list. I personally plan on majoring in some sort

Effective time management plays a central role for obtaining good grades. For example, I prefer to allocate time to courses based on their importance in the upcoming classes and their relevance to the course examinations as well. On the contrary, some may contend that time management is a difficult skill as it requires a high level of commitment before going to implement it and reaping its advantages. Moreover, time management is a skill that needs to be perfected in order to succeed in the ECHS program. This particular skill is practiced throughout the program and encourages to be used. The American Institutes for Research factored in “a wide variety of supports that Early Colleges provide, from academic tutoring and advising to study skills, time management and self-advocacy” (AIR, September 2013 ). The research group examined “college enrollment after the end of Year 4 and found no statistically significant difference between the rates for Early College students (71.1 percent) and comparison students (68.4 percent)” finding that “early College students were significantly more likely to enroll in college than comparison students” (AIR, September 2013).

Sixty six percent of teens after graduating high school enroll in college. One of the biggest decisions of your life will be choosing what University you want to attend. Two very good Universities students in Indiana commonly attend are the University of Southern Indiana, and Indiana University. These two schools are very good choices for students, especially students in Indiana. While some similarities are found between these two universities there are, many differences that exist between Indiana University and Southern Indiana University.

In the simplest of terms, I would love to attend IUPUI because of all the unique opportunities it offers me. IUPUI is very well known for its diverse and friendly campus that presents all students with a sense of belonging and unity. Attending IUPUI would give me the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life, and learn more about a multitude of cultures and beliefs. The open-minded and accepting atmosphere at IUPUI is a quality I feel is very valuable and important. Not to mention, the campus itself is located in downtown Indianapolis, so I would be surrounded by diversity and immersed in vibrant culture. Additionally, as Indianapolis is a very developed and populated area, I would be surrounded with countless possibilities for internships and job options, which would allow me to gain

Some people say “there aren’t enough hours in the day”. The people who usually say that kind of statement need help with time management. Successfully managing time and energy is a skill that an adult learner must find and master. To stretch those hours in the day it takes planning, being flexible and balancing obligations. Prioritizing tasks, not procrastinating, is something a student needs to do to achieve his/her goals to graduate.

I have always known I wanted to pursue dance as a career. I do not know if that means opening a dance studio, working professionally or just bettering myself through performing and teaching. All I do know is dance is the best path I know towards the more interesting things life has to offer. I hear a lot of people telling me I will not be able to do it or saying it will be too hard, but that does not deter me. I personally believe at Indiana University, I will be able to thrive. I want to go to college to learn, to meet people, and have an experience I could not get elsewhere. Indiana is that place for me. The sense of community and loyalty I have seen. personally, in Indiana’s alumni astounds me. Indiana has a reputation of being a phenomenal

Community involvement has always been an integral part of my life. As I progressed through my high school career, my passion for service flourished. I organized a food drive during my junior year at three local schools, which gave me a keen appreciation of the difference one person can make in the lives of many others. I was elected as a Lieutenant Governor of Key Club at the end of my junior year, a role which involves overseeing community outreach efforts for several high schools in my region. The experience has opened my eyes to the ways I can multiply my efforts through leading others.

Organization is the key to being successful in college. As a freshman, I struggled with mastering this skill, but throughout my years in college I would say that I have perfected it. One can assume, that if I had not mastered the skill of organization I would not currently have a 4.0 GPA. Along with my full time college schedule I have other responsibilities which sometimes make it hard for me to maintain my organization. However, through the use of successful time management I have been able to maintain all of my current responsibilities. My current level of responsibilities includes an internship, a part-time job, and a full time school schedule. I attend my social work classes at the University of Wisconsin Green- Bay every Tuesday and Thursday

I believe players should play in a hacker free/cheater free zone. I could help further their wish by doing my job and punishing all players who cheat/hack with the needed punishment. I continuously strive my work, and better myself by doing so.

There are many reasons of why Illinois State University is a good fit for my educational goals and my academic strengths/weaknesses. First, I believe that Illinois State University is a school that will have the resources I need for my major, which is music education. I have been told multiple times of the program for orchestral education and how good it is. I also believe that Illinois State will have the right environment for me to study and become the best student and individual I can be. A way that Illinois State will fit my academic strengths is the sense of community that resides within the college atmosphere. With that sense of community, I believe that I will never be afraid to ask a question in a class and I will have people that
