What I Want To Do With My Life

Going to college has been a dream of mine growing up. I am the first ever in my family to go to college but figuring out how to pay for it has been a challenge. I desire to achieve my academic and career goals and this scholarship can help me succeed in my journey.

My academic goal is to graduate Argosy University with a bachelors degree in Forensic Psychology in three years time. Forensic Psychology is the study of the criminal mind, in a nutshell. The main motivation to achieve this goal would be intrinsic. I love asking questions and knowing the answers as to why people do what they do, and in a criminals case, what led them to committing the crime. This goal, however, may have some extrinsic motivation as well. Being knowledgeable about certain behaviors that criminals poses may help solve or even prevent a crime. In addition, having a degree will help open different paths in life, ones that may present me with greater job opportunities. My attitude toward the learning process will help my achievement of each goal because I am eager, determined and motivated. My greatest desire is to succeed in life, and obtaining an education is one thing I know will help me. I perhaps will need to make some adjustments along my journey. I do not know yet if I will find another educational path that intrigues me the most. For now, I do not feel that any adjustments need to be made.

Our written question for this week is answer the question “why do you want to go to college?” I want to go to college for three main reasons – my family, my career and my personal growth. The first reason I want to go to college is for my family. I want my children and grandchildren to not just hear me say education is important. I want my words to be associated with a tangible action. What better way to communicate this than to go to college and complete a degree. The second reason I want to go to college is for my career. I have worked in the IT industry in various positions for over 20 years and despite having experience, a glass ceiling exists for those of us without a college degree. I want to be able to move beyond that barrier

I am just a 17 year old boy trying to figure out what I want to do after high school. I honestly don’t have a clue what I want to do for a living. This summer I figured out pretty quickly that I don’t want to do manual labor, because it is not fun. I just want to go to a two year college and figure out what I want to do.

What do I want to be when I am done with high school? I want to be an entrepreneur, owning my own bakery. I have reached my goals of graduating high school after all my trials and tribulations. I have been homeless for most of my high school year and I could benefit a lot with the moolah spot scholarship. I deserve o win because Ive worked hard to go to college and to not got because of limited funds would devaste me and others. Mostly my family memebers. I want my family to no longer have to struggle with rent, mortgate and car notes. I want to go to school for pastry baking arts, graduate and sell a lot of baked goods to open my own little

I have many goals for 2017, but three are more important to me than the others. This year, I would like to work to make more accurate shots in basketball, so that I can make the traveling team next week, or perhaps next year. I need to become superior with singing my song I will perform in this year’s play. I can also have stunning grades if I can get into the habit of asking exactly what we are supposed to do for assignments in class. By working to achieve these goals, I can compete with myself to become the best I can possibly be. By completing these goals in 2017, I can also be more prepared for college. As H. Jackson Brown Jr. put it, “The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”

This semester I want to take a different approach in all of my classes, but especially for this political science class. Even though I have always been a meticulous student, college is slightly more perplexing and I want to ensure I am fully equipped for the corporate America. A few of my goals consist of making A’s and B’s in the course, forming a useful study group with my colleagues, and retaining the information taught in class while using it as cross-curriculum for relative classes (i.e. Composition I). It is imperative that I not only do well, but am able to comprehend the material in a way that suits my educational career in a variety of aspects. Although high school and college are differing institutions, my goal is to do exceptionally

My education goals, first of all, is to attend the University of Texas at San Antonio. Since I will be the first generation college student in my family, I’ll be the first to experience a college life. In the first 4 years in the University of Texas at San Antonio, I will head straight into the Pre-Medicine programs and any other programs that will help me get into the medical field. During the university experience, I will also want to head into a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry (BS) degree. After meeting all my college credit requirements and have taken all the prerequisites for medical school, I will want to continue my journey into the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin. I will do the 4 years in the Medical School

On this particular day, I sit at my dining room table writing about myself hoping that one hundred years from today somebody is reading this. I am seventeen years old, a sister of two and daughter of my parents. My family consists of three dogs, two turtles, one bunny, and three guinea pigs additionally. I am currently an early high school graduate just awaiting graduation day. I love playing sports with my dad, but I fancy design and creativity . I am the oldest kid in my entire family plus will be the first one to graduate from high school. All the pressure is on me not only for the reason that I have to set an instance to my younger sister and brother but as well as my younger cousins. Have you ever been in this position? All you want

Why do I want to go to college ,Why would I not want to go to college is the real question? All my life my parents have taught me that education is key to living a successful life.Getting a college education opens so many doors that do not open unless you have a college education I would also be one of the first in my family to go to college Oh my life my parents of stress to me the value of an education in doing this you told me that many doors were open once you get a college degree and if I choose not to get a degree that many doors will be closed in opportunities would not come because I'm not calling in saying that I don't want to be a person and doors close to me just because I didn't get a college education I want to be able to be

Ever since I entered school as a little girl I was constantly setting goals for town soccer teams, T-ball games and running the fastest at P.E. class, but as I got older I realized that my goals seemed to change. At this point in time, I want to graduate high school with a 3.6-4.0 GPA, get into my college of choice, complete my scholarships and find my correct career path.

If you want to make more than minimum wage, you’re going to need a high school diploma. If you do not have a high school diploma, you are most likely going to be working for lower pay which will make it hard to make it through the months. In today’s job market, a college degree is becoming more important. Every top paying dollar is mostly from a college degree. Graduating high school will determine how well you live for the next 50 years. Without it you are mostly likely flipping patties at some restaurant or bussing tables for the next 50 years. A high school diploma offers more lifetime opportunities. Without a high school diploma you are given limited opportunities on where you want to live or work. This is why it is important for everyone

What do you want to be when you grow up? I want to be a vet when I get older. I will go to the University of California because they have the best vet school. I will get paid between $50,480 and $141,680 per year. Although I will be in college ten or more years getting my doctorate degree (class of 2034 here I come)it will be worth it. It seems like a long time,but it will be here before you know it and yeah I know it might be a little difficult, but if you put your mind to it,you can accomplish anything. A lot of people say it’s a lot harder to get into vet school than it is to get into medical school,but like I said, “You can accomplish anything as long as you try hard and never ever give up and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.” Just like Alexander Graham Bell,Thomas Edison, and the Wright Brothers, they could have given up but they didn’t, even when times got rough and neither am I! People don’t know if vets are going to be around much in the future because we “will” have machines that will do it for us and more cures for sicknesses but I say otherwise. Just like doctors, vets take care of patients to it's

In life we do things. Some we wish we had never done. Some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads. But they all make us who we are, and in the end, they shape every detail about us. If we were to reverse any of them we wouldn’t be the person we are today. So just live, live up to you goals and dreams. Make mistakes make memories, but never second guess who you are. -- If you have a goal or a dream don’t give up when it gets hard, fight till you have accomplished it. Every goal has its ups and downs and some are harder than others but that is ok because it is your goal. Your goal makes you, YOU!! -- If I want to accomplish my life time goals I need to work harder then I normally do to achieve them. These goals are to finish high school with a 4.0 GPA, find a college that best fits me and my career choice, and I want to become an elementary teacher/ a photographer.

Growing up in Miami I have gotten accustomed to the cold and impersonal interactions attributed to living in a big city. Although I enjoy all of the opportunities that are presented by metropolitan areas, it disheartens me to know that most people in urban settings do not know their neighbors. Via avian perspective, you can see the large-scale segregation of classes and ethnic groups. Little Havana, Little Haiti, and Little Puerto Rico are just some examples of the neighborhoods I have called home. As a multiracial child, I found it difficult to fit in when the typical icebreaker question was “Where are you from?” “Me?” I would ask. Knowing there was a narrow range of accepted responses I replied, “I am from here - from Earth... but more importantly, where am I going?” It seems a natural human characteristic to assign greater importance to our past experiences than to our aspirations for the future. In order to achieve what I want with my life I know that I must not dwell on the past but focus on the future.
