Texas Tech Aspirations

Many people are faced with the challenge of overcoming something in their lifetime. Somethings are small stepping stones and others are major achievements.

As my high school career ends, I notice increasingly how much life that I have yet to live and the opportunities available to me in the years ahead. The past four years have been great preparation for my future endeavors, but college is the path leading to my full potential. In order to reach the end of this path, I utilize my most valuable trait—determination—to set short and long-term goals and achieve them. It is with this “can do” spirit—like the one my grandpa, a former Navy Seabee, evinces through his stories—that I have set my personal goals: to volunteer my time in service to others, further develop leadership skills through experiential learning, and excel at my school work no matter how challenging it may seem. Though these may

Overall, Texas A&M offers a great opportunity for me. Trying to get into this university alone will give me the opportunity to get better and try my hardest. I also love the fact that this school has a 20:1 student faculty ratio. I have always went to a small student faculty ratio school and I want to continue it. Last but not least, the computer science program is perfect for me. I can pursue my dream to have a job that is related with computer

I thrive in smaller, yet motivated, environments where I am given the opportunity to reach my full potential, which is why I believe TCU would be a perfect fit for me. I am excited by the reputation of passionate and dedicated professors at TCU. I know that my professors at TCU will give their full attention to me and support me whether it be academically or in everyday life. Additionally, I find the TCU spirit captivating. I hope to try out for the TCU Show Girls if I have the honor of becoming a TCU Horned Frog.

Texas Christian University, home of the horned frogs, is known for its exceptional medical department, and will give me a great education. Going to TCU will help me prepare for life after college and help me excel at my career.

The question you are asked by every adult at least once in your life time, “Where are you going to college?”, or in Texas, “U.T. or A.T.M.?” For most, it is a simple answer, but for me. Neither UT nor ATM would slingshot me into a career of Law Enforcement. Only Sam Houston State University will do.

Lailah Gifty Akita once said, “You can go as far as you dream, think and imagine.” I hope that while attending college I can pursue my dreams and go farther than I have imagined. Texas Tech University, home of the Red Raiders, is the only school in Texas to have a Law School, Medical School and Academic University on the same campus and will provide me with the skills I need to become a pediatrician.

Georgia Tech has always been a dream for me. I don't know why but looking at letters and e-mails that I have received make me feel like I would fit in just by walking on the campus. I know that I can succeed here, and that everyone will help me along the "yellow brick road" of success. Ha, get it, one of the colors is yellow. This is a place where I can research and learn what is needed to continue on in life. My uncle was the one person that really persuaded me to apply. He knew that I could succeed here, and he never even went to Tech. Overall, this is where I know I will

My ability to “pick myself up by my bootstraps” continues to be a significant part of my life. My academic and extracurricular success at AHA proves that when I am determined to succeed, I am able to harness the fortitude to do so. Without hard work and determination, I would never have become a member of the Thespian Honor Society or participate in a class trip to Europe. When I find myself doubting my capability to achieve something that seems impossible, I reflect on this experience to remind myself that I am competent enough to achieve my

This past year I have set the career goal of teaching high school science. After looking at a few different degrees Texas Tech offers, I decided that I want to further my education after high by studying Multidisciplinary Science in the College of Education. At the Texas Tech Preview Day last October, I found that Texas Tech offers a path I can take to get my Bachelor of Multidisciplinary Science with a Biology Emphasis and get a minor in Coaching. Graduating with this degree is my main educational goal for the next four years.

I know that Texas Tech has a solid engineering program there, it will give me the opportunity and success to be a great Engineer in the future. Also not because my family is relocating to Lubbock that I fell in love with Texas Tech, it was your professors. Specifically speaking Dr. Jeff Hanson,

As quoted by John Dewey, “Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself.” Not only do I want to make a life for myself but others around me as well. Texas Tech, a public research university, has a variety of 158 total programs. Tech is the place that I’ve chosen to prepare me to go into the world of medicine, more specifically, anesthesiology.

There is a ticket in my hand that grants me the admission to the University of Texas at Austin. With this ticket I will go to UT Austin and make the most out of my time trying to get a degree in computer science. I have worked very hard for this ticket and I’m glad that I finally got it. At UT, I will take the best classes and study hard to get the best grades so that I can get my degree. This is important because I want to reach my goals and make new higher goals after I complete them. Also, I would join many clubs and organizations to stay active while I am in college. This will help me do many more great things after I finish college.

Four of my relatives have graduated from Georgia Tech, so I have been raised with an unwavering pride for the school, and if I were to attend, I would be the first female in my family to do so. A degree from Georgia Tech guarantees my future in a career I am absolutely passionate about, and after much research it is clear that Georgia Tech is more catered to my needs and

In January I went to a seminar that was filled with tons of people. The area consisted of smiling faces that greeted everyone at the door, notebooks in hand, and a sense of passion cascading from every voice heard within the crowd. A stage in the front of the room, and tables with chairs set up for the extensive note taking on self-improvement and success. The pencils scribbling frantically on paper about to be heard once it had begun. These individuals were from all walks of life, poor, wealthy, short, tall, old and young, however, we all had something in common. We were all dreamers. We all were there because we were not content with what life had meagerly put out for us. We wanted more than the average, we weren’t average, which was why
