A survey was conducted at Texas A&M University in which the “Big Five” traits of Psychology were measured. The focus of the research is to use descriptive statistics to determine the average personality across the Texas A&M University student body and compare the results to the average personality across the University of Texas student body. Descriptive statistics describes the data that the researcher is analyzing in terms of the average and variability of the sample. Two types of descriptive statistics exist to describe the data: central tendency and variability. Central tendency describes the average of a sample by interpreting the mean, median, and mode. Variability describes the difference in the set of scores through the interpretation of standard deviation, variance, and range.
San Jose State University is a very large urban campus that has a total enrollment of more than 30,000 students. It is easy to get lost in such huge crowds of students, and even more difficult for shy students, such as myself. I am proud to be a first generation college student attending San Jose State University. Despite its large size and increasing impaction rates, I admire the diversity and resources that the college provides for its students. I applied to SJSU in the fall of 2015 with various goals in mind. However, with a university this large I knew that I would need extra guidance in order to succeed and accomplish my goals.

In Life there are roads and there are choices. The right or left turn you make along the winding path throughout your life is and should be the one that makes you happy. Furthering your education may be your best and only way to make that right decision. At the present moment I am now currently attending Valencia Community College working towards my Associate Degree in Computer Science. My current major is Computer Science, although Computer Engineering with a focus in Software is what I will most likely pursue as my Bachelor of Arts (BA). Computer Science/Engineering is one of the most popular and fastest growing careers today. Today, computers are used in almost every aspect of our lives: in car
Some of the main arguments the author acknowledges is the amout of students who do not succeed either in high school or college. Points are signed out by explaining how the lack of money or education frustrates the students. A topic is mention based on how even graduated students do not succeed as much in life. These people took college for four years or more, invested a lot of money, and ended up being a truck driver or working with sewage. Which makes no sense because they received a certificate to earn a good amount of money and unfortunitly have to look somewhere else because of the need of money. Topics like this or lack of money and education are frequently repeated.Freshman college students fail the most because instead of being taught
While an undergraduate at The Ohio State University I was very active in school clubs and recreational sports. I was the Vice President of the Portuguese Club and was a member of the Promotions team for the local radio station. I volunteered at a dog shelter and with foster boys living in a group home. I was also a trip leader in university and led a group of seven university students to Atlanta, GA to work with teenagers in a low-performing school. This involved handling the budget and activities for the group. I enjoy volunteering and doing extra activities to make university life more well-rounded.
From the moment I knew I wanted to be a veterinarian, I knew UC Davis was the ideal school for me. If given a chance and selected off the waitlist I would enroll in a heartbeat considering UC Davis has always been my top choice for undergraduate studies. Not only is Davis in my home state of California, it is also one of the few universities that offers animal science as a major. It would be a dream come true to study at the best vet school in the Western United States. As a dedicated student, I am passionate about my goals and I know, without a doubt, that UC Davis is the best fit for me. In addition, I would work extremely hard to be worthy of a spot at my dream school, so I could have a better chance at pursuing my career in veterinary
Although named East Los Angeles College(ELAC), ELAC is actually located in Monterey Park, California. Monterey Park is located 30 miles east of Downtown Los Angeles, and has the largest concentration of Chinese Americans in the US. I was raised and born in Monterey Park and when I graduated high school, I enrolled at the local community college. Two years of working as a tutor at the ELAC Writing Center taught me the importance of literature and teaching literature. As a tutor, I learned the necessity to analyze, assess, and appeal to not only the student but their learning needs as well. Most importantly, I learned that before a teacher can impact their students they must understand the student’s environment.
During my search for universities I should apply to, the qualities I concerned myself with was the size and the diversity of the university. I want to go to a college with a small class size so the professors can have the ability to focus on their students while also containing diversity among the students and the campus. These were some of the qualities I found in Hofstra University and are the main reasons I applied.

I will achieve success as a student at USC through hard work, determination, and my willingness to seek out what I don’t know. To elaborate on the last point, I need to regress to my freshman year of high school. My freshman year served as a rude awakening for me academically, as school had suddenly become more difficult. At the time, I had the naivete to assume that studying was but an option, and that classes would be as easy as they were the year previous. I turned out to be gravely mistaken, and as my class loads thrust their full weight upon my shoulders, I found myself academically floundering. I was simply too lazy, at the time, to confront the true dilemma; I did not have the drive to succeed. I came to this realization midway through
Figuring out what made you, you is a hard thing to accomplish, is it a mixture of your mother’s intuition and your father 's stubbornness. Or is it the fact that you have his nose and her smile. Or is that distant look in your eye you got from your grandmother. To include education into this age old question brings up another. Who had the biggest impact on my life, the one who made me decide that continuing my education was worth it. I would have to say it would have to be my father, a man who believed he could make me into the child he wasn’t. My Father Blake Christopher Thomas has had the biggest impact on my life in both positive and negative ways, he is the reason I decided to continue my education at San Francisco State University.
I have dreamed about being a part of the Trojan family for a long time. I have heard that support from USC alumni is unrivaled in its strength and quality. I grew up just outside of Los Angeles county and from a young age, I viewed USC as LA's greatest school. I saw the school as a source of pride for the people of Southern California. In high school when I was applying for college, I discovered more about the high quality programs that USC offers and I imagined myself in cardinal and gold. After much consideration, I turned down my offer to attend USC for undergrad and began my journey at UCI. Now I have a second chance and I feel that it is finally time to realize my childhood dream. Southern California is my home and the place I want to
