I want to attend the Wake Early College of Health and Sciences because I want to learn more about health and because I want to be a biomedical engineer. I am academically ready for this school because I am smart and I am a leader. I know that I am smart because I work very hard in school and nothing can distract me from my school work. For example, I don’t let students that talk to me a lot in class to distract while I am working. Also if I ever need help on an assignment, I always ask my teacher or my parents for help so I can figure out the answer. I think I am definitely behaviorally ready for this school. That is because I do not let my peers influence me into doing bad actions that will lead me to a bad future. Also, I think I am ready because I influence people in doing good behaviors for example having a good attitude at all times. I think I am ready for an early college setting because I already attend an early college school. That early college school experienced me a lot because I never knew how it will feel like to be in an early college setting, but after a while, I know how it feels like to be in one.

Community college is a great institution for students to start their educational journey. Especially when they do not have the funds or lack some of the prerequisite that a university would require. Community college was created to serve the community, traditional and non-traditional students with the best higher education and lifetime learning opportunities. The faculty and staff members at a community college is there to provide leadership in education while going above and beyond to recognize the needs of the students and the community by providing excellent educational programs and support services that are available to all who have the opportunity to take advantage of them. “Student services now include recruitment and retention, counseling, student activities, student health, financial aid, academic support, career centers, transfer centers, and supplemental services such as transportation, child care, and services tailored for specific populations of students” (Cohen, Brawer, & Krisker, 2014, pg. 209). My philosophy in fulfilling the role and mission of the community college, is to establish the mission, vision, goals and values to guide all students on their journey to strive to become successful both in school and in today’s economy.

The last reason I chose Lake Land has to do with the job I currently have. I am a hairstylist, and I enjoy the work very much. Community college has helped me avoid the added stress of job hunting by allowing me to continue my education while working the same job. It’s not always easy finding a job that you’re passionate about, so I wasn’t too keen on the idea of having to leave it. Plus this job has given me a sense of financial security, and leaving it behind would have left me worrying about whether I would be able to find another job in a timely fashion.

Whatcom Community College nurtured my education and helped me to see my strengths, skills, and abilities. I enjoyed my time as a student there and the diverse people and relationships I built with people I ordinarily would never have met.

I believe in the inclusion and I love the challenge of working in an environment where many different people come together to solve problems together. I value that Whatcom also helps and offers many different kinds of classes to the community and like that everyone has equal access to education and information.

Lees-McRae is a good fit for me because out of all the colleges I have researched, Lees-McRae feels like home. When I first found the college's website, I instantly knew that Lees-McRae encompasses all the values that I think are crucial. Just from the website alone I found a sense of family and coming from a close-knit family of four, I treasure that above anything else. Also, I fell in love with the idea of community. I feel it is important to cherish and be a part of an open community, which I have noticed Lees-McRae provides for all of its students. If I were to attend Lees-McRae I would be active in the community and feel safe inside the family atmosphere. Not to mention, I would thrive in the athletic aspects of the college, the passion

Previous to being enrolled at RCC (this is my first semester as a transfer) I completed three (3) years at North Carolina State University. Go Pack! I was in the Poole College of Management en route to getting a Bachelors in Supply Chain Management. As I got further into the curriculum I began to realize that being a Business Major was not for me. I have always had a fascination with new technology and I finally settled on a different sea to set sail. I brought all my transferable credits here to RCC where I will complete my Associates of the Arts. I will then take this and transfer to a four (4) year institution to get a Bachelors in Computer Science; if I had to choose an institution right now I would either choose UNCG or head back to NCSU. I'm still
