I have always enjoyed learning. Even at a young age I would be found in English class with a math workbook and a list of logic puzzles to see how much information I could gather at once. In addition to the constant pursuit of knowledge, I also greatly enjoy maximizing my potential. I relish in opportunities that push me to my boundaries, and I enjoy seeking after these to be the best that I can be. It is these two driving passions that have motivated me since childhood that have given me the desire to transfer. I seek to obtain the best opportunity available to me in order to push myself to personal and educational growth. My current college has served me well, and I am very thankful for its role in shaping me. In spite of this, I do not feel pushed any longer. The academics are great, but I desire more of a challenge, and more knowledge from this. I have been shaped in many ways by my experience here, but it …show more content…
While it is true that many characteristics are innate, it is undeniable that people have the ability to change over time. I have been through many shaping experiences in my life. I have lived in another country, and served those that lived there in missionary work. Additionally, I have learned to adjust to different cultures and understand people of all backgrounds. I find that there is no experience more shaping than changes such as these. It is important to take advantage of the chances offered in life for us to learn and grow in this way. Just as it is beneficial to enjoy and learn from these opportunities, it is equally significant to know when to move on to something else. While it is impossible to learn all that there is to know in any aspect of life, I believe that at this point in my life, I would not only grow more if presented with another opportunity at a different school, but also be able to serve a school more due to the unique qualities I have gained through my life
Many are rich many are poor many have money many don’t. Have you ever had a moment where you did something selfish for desperation of money and karma hit you right back with a right hook?. And felt regret towards yourself. In the short story “Why, You Reckon” the author uses irony and dialogue, to show the audience that money can't buy happiness.
Changes in life can be tough to go through and sometimes they can be easy. Some of these things are harder than others and some can be a better choice. Like moving is one thing that changed my way i looked at people. Then there is growing up, growing up can be hard. Last but not least there is education. These things that you experience can change your perspective on how you look at life.
I was born on October 6th 1992 in Modesto California. I was raised in the West Side, which is predominately known for its poverty, gangs, and violence. The neighborhoods that I grew up in were heavily populated by minorities such as Cambodians, Mexicans, and African Americans. Within these minorities there were separate gangs that would all fight amongst each other. For example the Cambodians had the Asian Boyz and the West Side boys, Mexicans had the Norteños and Sureños and the African Americans had the Crips and Bloods. I never affiliated myself with any of these gangs but was often exposed to their lifestyles either through my oldest brother or by simply living on the wrong side of town. My oldest brother was gang affiliated and he
My reasons for transferring are entirely academic. I have made many good friends at Rutgers, and I have studied with some wonderful professors. However, I am eager to gain a sophisticated understanding of Mathematics as well as Computer Science. An institution excellent in both Math and CS would be a better choice for me.
I felt as though I didn’t really love what I was studying, that I wasn’t really connecting with other students who shared my academic interests, and that my options were limited when it came to exploring things I really had an interest in, such as community/public health. I want to transfer to George Mason because of the multicultural campus community, the excellent academic programs, and because of Mason’s ideal location. My uncle, Eugene Koranteng, attended Mason after coming from Ghana to the USA, and made his mark as a triple jump record holder. He told me that he wouldn’t change a thing about his college experience! I also have friends who attend George Mason and share with me new people they’ve met, as well as new cultures they’ve learned about and embraced! Although Mason’s campus is large, George Mason still keeps class sizes small. I have realized in going to CNU that a small campus is great, but when a campus is so small, the people tend to be homogeneous. At Mason, I know that there is so much to do, to learn, as well as, so many different people to
As Ernie Harwell once quoted: “It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure.” This quote sums up the feelings that come to mind as I fill out this application to transfer to Rutgers New Brunswick. My experience so far at Rutgers has taught me a lot about myself, and the people around me. It taught me that I am a part of a bigger picture, and each of us as individuals have a huge impact on the society around us. However, I have come to peace that it is time to move on from the Newark campus and pursue my degree at Rutgers New Brunswick School of Arts and Sciences. New Brunswick would be a more logical option for my studies due to a shorter commute from home, and a better computer science program.
In order to understand why I decided to transfer to George Mason University you first have to understand who I am as a person. When I was 19 I made the scariest decision of my life and joined the United States Army, it wasn’t scary to me because I joined in a time of war. It was scary because my whole life people told me I couldn’t or shouldn’t, reason be as simple as because I was a girl or as complicated as me being too compassionate. I joined the Army regardless spending my first few weeks of basic training scared to fail at my dream, but every day I did my absolute best not to. I didn’t fail, I pushed past my fear and defeated the odds I had set against myself, to serve my country for 6 and a half years with three deployments; Being awarded
Upon transferring, I plan to become involved with others that share in my passion. I intend to accomplish this by joining the History Club and pursuing an internship in my prospective field. I have always been fascinated by museums and the wealth of knowledge
I recently realized that my whole life, I have never really done anything out of my comfort zone. I have done things that may seem crazy or different to other people, but not to me. I have done things out of OTHER people’s comfort zones. The only things I have ever done are things that I thought may be crazy, because other people thought they were crazy. I guess I just have a wide comfort zone. The one thing that has always seemed to be out of this zone of mine, is switching schools. It never really crossed my mind. I always thought I would attend Richmond, then Arrowhead, then some college. It just seemed to be out of the question that something else would happen. However, when I started to think about taking new opportunities and changing things for myself I thought, why not? Changing schools could give my so many new chances and suddenly, it seemed like a great
It is something I have always had a passion for. Whether I excelled in a subject or not, I knew from early on that the world greatly benefits from any form of learning. My influence for transferring is mostly academically based. I have made good friends here and I plan on continuing with those relationships when I transfer. However, as my transcripts will exemplify my grades only go up. After struggling with obtaining good grades in the beginning of high school, I eventually took more classes on the subjects I was interested in and my grades improved dramatically. From American Sign Language to Forensic Science, if I was intrigued by the learning capabilities, then I surpassed my past experiences with grades. In college, my transcripts illustrate that I am doing very well and that I have proved the admissions team right. The reason being, my major and everything that I am learning, captivates me. Merely doing well isn’t the best option for me anymore. I am convinced that transferring colleges will give me the challenges I need to succeed both academically and
I am transferring for a variety of reasons. The most important reason is that I'm not happy where I am at right now. College is talked about as a place where you'll have to work hard, but also as a place where you'll have fun and experience new things and find out who you are. Yes, I've worked hard and yes, I've explored new things, but I'm not enjoying myself like I thought, I'm not happy where I am. The school I now attend doesn't offer me the opportunities that it promised me and the ones I am seeking. It is small and lacks ... Transferring is the best decision for me because I know that where I stand now I am not fulfilling my potential and I know that there is more out there for me to accomplish. I hope to gain not just an education,
Many things in life I considered it is important to my future, and I would take any actions to achieve them, even though It will be difficult sometimes. When I think about my family, I started to realize how I am thankful to have them in my life because they are the reason why I am here today. They impact on my personal life in many different ways trying to raise me better and better.
My father came to the United States of America at the age of 25 with only $100 with him, and since the age of 25 my father has built himself up in the world of business. Although my father has worked hard for over 30 years to build himself up and provide an impeccable standard of liv-ing for his children, one thing that has always held him back from pursuing his desires was debt. Additionally, my parents would never want me to miss out on an amazing opportunity because they did not have the extra money lying around, which is why many times they might charge their credit card just to provide me with that opportunity. Thus, I do not want to continue to burden them with my personal desires that they may not be able to completely afford at this time. Although, they may not have the means to
At times in life there comes something called change. In my opinion, I was not a big fan of change. You cannot imagine how I was feeling when my mother announced that we were moving. It was the middle of my sixth-grade year, I was feeling countless emotions, none that could be explained at the moment of the announcement. The main thing on my mind was school; my friends, my outstanding teachers, and the environment. All things I had left behind. All I could think about was, “How will I ever adjust?” I knew exactly what was to come, I knew exactly what I was going to become, an outcast. There were numerous of ways on why I was feeling this way, but
My reasons for transferring are uncomplicated and my objectives are very personal. One of my reasons for transferring is obvious—to continue with my education. My family believes having an education is immensely important to lead a stable life—I have also adopted this belief. My parents are conventional examples. My father earned a bachelor of Science in Information Systems from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
