Soccer Tournament Memories Almost a year ago I started my first day of high school, to some people that may seem like one of the least important days of their life, but for me it made me realize that it was going to be the last year I walk through those doors to attend class, and the last time I step out onto the soccer field with some of my closest friends. As I walked through the double doors that would officially start my last year at USA High School, I looked up and my entire graduating classes names were posted up on the wall, where soon our pennants of the colleges we were going to attend would hang. High school holds some of the happiest memories for some people, from times they were at Friday night football games with their best friends, or late-night adventures they went on, but for me it was being on the soccer team. Throughout my entire high school career, I was happiest when out on the field, playing against local schools with the people I have gotten so close to over the years.
My Lewis & Clark’s education, will always be represented by opportunity. I have never felt a limit on anything I can do here. There are always places to grow and understand myself and what I want from my education. Lewis & Clark is providing me with the building blocks I need to construct the solid well rounded base of knowledge I need before I can pursue a more concentrated path. I have had the great opportunity to take a diversity of classes in the arts, science, humanities, along with a few others. Coming into the school, I had no plan for what I wanted to focus my studies on, but by taking such a medley of classes, I was finally able come across a topic that
Throughout my life as a child and teenager, I was told by my parents that they worked really hard to get to the safe town and community that we lived in. Growing up in Pacific Grove, California gave me lots opportunities that I didn’t even know I obtained. Unless it had happened to me personally, I didn’t really understand the full picture of what others had to go through. Having dyslexia, the only subject I felt I really excelled in was art. After high school, I still had no idea what I wanted to do for a career or even a major. Monterey Peninsula College has boosted my confidence by showing me that I can be and do much more. Two years ago I would never have guessed that I would be applying to the University of Washington.
As a first generation college student in my family, it has been an enriching experience attending Wake Technical Community College. I have learned a lot about myself, and why I love pursuing my education. I have experienced diversity, and a passion for lifelong learning. I am very proud to say that I will be graduating with an Associates Degree in Early Childhood, and I am very excited for the next chapter in my life. I hope that next chapter will be attending Meredith College to pursue a bachelor's in Child Development, so that I can change the lives of many children. It is my career goal to help children pursue their dreams of a higher education, and Meredith can provide a learning environment to contribute to that dream. Since I’m the first
• History Texas Originally named Texas Technological College, the college opened in 1925 with six buildings and an enrollment of 914 students. Texas Tech University was created by legislative action in 1923 and has the distinction of being the largest comprehensive higher education institution in the western two-thirds of the state of
I’ve been at Barrington Middle School for three years. It is the place where I transitioned from a child bright-eyed and ready for the world, to the older, if not wiser young adult, that I am today. I’ve been here through the good times and the bad as I went
Most of my education at West Chester University has been in a college classroom setting. I hope to learn how to apply the theories, techniques, and ideas into practice. I also hope to learn and participate in how to maintain a relationship between schools, families, and the community. I feel that the year-long placement will be more intimate field experiences than I have experienced before, and I am excited for the educational experiences it holds for me.
Therefore, it is essential that I work in respect and correspondence with others. As an incoming student of Sacred Heart Academy, I hope to fully contribute in the life of service that lies ahead. I anticipate giving back to the community by using my God-given talents at the service of others. Over the years, time management and self-discipline have been my principles. Yet, my creative skills in music, art, writing, drawing, and photography have also contributed in the young lady that I am today. Additionally, I have been participating in many extracurricular activities such as: swimming, art club, CYO basketball, school band, Church choir, and last but not least altar serving. To that end, I look forward to attaining a competitive life where I am challenge to the fullest of my potential in a Catholic high
At UNK I am a recipient of the KHOP scholarship and I am also a part of the sorority Alpha Omicron Pi. Through these two organizations I have stayed quite involved on campus and in the community. Through KHOP I was invited to join a learning community to be close to other students going through the same classes that I was. It was a great experience and it helped me increase my understanding in many of my classes. I was able to form study groups with some of the other students from the learning community. This helped me when I had questions but also helped me understand the material better by being able to teach it to the others in the group that didn’t understand it. Also through KHOP I have been given the chance to volunteer with many
I take immense pride in the work of the three organizations in development of students in their individual growth. With various positions at the three centers, my identity as a student leader and a peer educator, gives me more reasons to be proud as these experiences have shaped my values, and my future career aims. In my last year, my hope and my goal has been to transmit these opportunities of finding mentorship, professional growth and personal values to the new students, who visit the W and the UMC. In my first year, I feared that working alongside academic work would be distracting in my future academic goals. However, today I can say without student employment opportunities at the various centers and volunteer programs like Alternative Breaks, I would not be satisfied with only four years that one gets to spend at a large college institution built with inspirations of student
Coming from a family of six, I was the first to graduate high school. Within my immediate family, graduating from high school was viewed as a choice, not a priority. They all started a family early, dropped out of school, and struggled through day-to-day life. Still, I
As an eighth grader, I want my last year at Queen of Apostles School to be as great as it possibly can be. I’ve set myself up for success by creating three goals. Like Henry Ford said, “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten.” I plan to go far in life rather that be a no-good-bum who sits on a couch all day. To succeed, you must have ambition. This year, I plan on giving all I’ve got.
After graduating, I served as an instructional assistant and afterschool program teacher for the Elk Grove Unified School District. In these roles, I helped integrate students with disabilities and behavioral issues into the classroom and managed a class of more than 20 students at a Title 1 school. My academic background allowed me to be more aware of how collective memory affects development and learning, allowing me to apply a more holistic approach towards student mentorship and evaluation. Furthermore, I served as a Crocker Art Museum volunteer in their Education department, where I was able to combine my interests in art history, education, and community
As the high school chapter of my life comes to an end, I have my eyes set on furthering my education at West Virginia University. I have recently been accepted into West Virginia University and am continuing to explore the opportunities it offers its students. I have primarily chosen West Virginia University as my new home for advancing my knowledge and pursuing a career for several reasons.
The biggest decisions we make before graduating from high school is applying to different colleges. When it comes to decision making where to go, will always have a huge impact on any student career and in most cases paying for the tuition. In the past year student loans have made parents and student ask themselves is the risk worth investing with all the student loan debts increasing rapidly.
