Wake Early College Analysis

Second, I have a passion for seeking challenges. Academically, it has been a challenging school year, however, I do not feel challenged in my lifestyle here. With the same comfort as my own hometown, college does not feel different from my high school years. Staying comfortable in college demonstrates there was no change in lifestyle. My passion is not satisfied by having a great level of comfort at Davis. By attending college in a different state, I will expose myself to diversity and new challenges, which I will always welcome into my

I believe that being in a college setting will help my anxiety and improve my attitude towards school. I believe that I will no longer feel the social pressure in high school to be somebody that I am not. I intend to become more involved into clubs and my community as well. If I am accepted into the program then I believe that I will have a better sense of a college setting so when I attend university I will feel more confident in what to expect in terms of socially and

I’m applying to UA Early College because I want to be able to step into college ahead of the game. I have been an overachiever since I was little and take each chance I get handed to me. This program additionally prepares me for courses I will take when in college. It gives a more profound understanding of how classes will be and the paces they will go at.

During the week in Chicago, I grew closer to God, learned how to be a better leader, and learned to put others before myself, which is what helped me become a better person. Serving others that had situations worse than I could imagine was life changing. The idea I could make such a tremendous change in someone’s life while doing activities I enjoyed, opened my eyes to the potentials of serving. After the week ended and I returned home, I wanted to do more for the people around me who were less fortunate. Going into freshman year, I made the decision to volunteer at Urban Vision. I help kids who have newly immigrated to Akron and the United States find items at a holiday shop for their families and themselves. Many of these kids went directly to the necessity aisle, (i.e. toilet paper, laundry detergent, and soaps) to get these items for their families, even though there were plenty of toys for the kids themselves. These kids helped me realize I should be grateful for everything in life, from shelter over my head to the clothes on my

The school activity that was the most meaningful to me was and will be my senior year Kairos experience. Kairos is a four-day retreat that led by seniors at my high school. It is meant to be a time of rest and spiritual awakening for all those that participate. It gives students time to discover themselves, form a bond with classmates, and ponder their relationship with God. There are two ways to experience Kairos. The first way to experience Kairos is by attending it as a student. The second way to experience Kairos is by being a leader of a future Kairos.

Activity Statement - Briefly explain (in 50-100 words), how you decided which activity was the most important to you.

Colleges offer early admittance if students have already decided on which college they wish to attend. When going through early decision making, students may often make mistakes, change their school and majors more than needed. In the article, “Colleges & Early Decision,” written by M. Lee and M. Clapp, the authors introduce an early decision process, which students may access in high school. Students “felt eliminating early decisions would ease

The wandering map activity really helped me set everything out and figure out what has led to what in my life. I love planning and seeing things visually, as I am a visual learner, so this was honestly a good fit and little project for me to do. It helped me know a little better that I am where I should be and I should be majoring in English, based on my categories and themes. Some of the connections I probably would have never made so I am glad I am able to piece all of it together now.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” This quote from Nelson Mandela always clicked with me, because while many things can change the world, education is always at the root of it. The Ottawa County Early College program is an opportunity for me to practice with this essential tool. I feel that I am a good fit for the program because I have passion for my studies, am proactive in them, and I flourish under challenge. This amazing program excites me because it will help me to achieve my overall goal for my education; to positively impact the world. While I have many different ideas with what I want to do with my education, Early College will allow me to explore many different paths within a budget I

I believe that Polk County Early College High School would be a great school for me because of smaller class sizes and more one on one opportunity with teachers. I feel that I thrive in that kind of setting because you can feel free to ask for help if needed, and it will be provided much more easily than in a larger class room. I also love the opportunity that the school provides to be able to earn college credits while attending high school. I am a very self motivated person and being able to complete work at my own pace would be significant. If I am working at my own pace I will be given the chance to work ahead and cover more material which is great. I think Polk County Early College would be the perfect school for me because I would be

Throughout 9th and 10th grade, I have worked very hard academically. Yet, as I am about to venture into 11th grade, I feel as though I am ready for a challenge. Truthfully, the thought of starting college at the age of 16 sounded just like the type of challenge I needed. Furthermore, there are three main reasons why I want to attend the Mary Baldwin Early College: because I am seeking an academic challenge, because I believe that the Mary Baldwin Early College will help me to achieve my career ambitions, and because the Mary Baldwin Early college offers everything I hope to experience at a college.

Another activity that I enjoyed was helping out with the HawaiiCC day; which was a college fair for middle and high school students. The events were different programs and student services provided from the college. In our table we had Financial Aid, Carpentry Academy, and Fire Science. As we waited for the students from middle and high schools to come to our table, I got to experience the traditional Native Hawaiian welcome ceremony called Kipaepae; which they dance, sing, and played the drums. As the Kipaepae ended students began to visit the tables, at the beginning students were not interested in our club, but soon as our AJ club members began to shoot toilet paper in the toilet; which is like a basketball game, but instead of a ball its

A personal circumstance that affected my activities outside of school was when my mother had, my little brother. It seems as when he was born I could never do anything. Around when I was 12 years old I had to start babysitting him by myself after school. He was only 4 years old so a lot of things he was not able to for himself such as cooking, cleaning, and etc. I had wanted to try out for the varsity basketball time my ninth grade but I missed try outs because I had to babysit my little brother. Many after school activities I messed out on because I had to babysit because my mother usually did not get off from work till 6 o’clock. So, he was my responsibility till she got home. My little brother had became my full responsibility, I felt as
