Why I Apply To College

I would like to attend college because I want to be successful in life, I understand it is getting harder to get a job with only a high school diploma and it is sure to get worse.

I am writing to express my interest in the Program Coordinator position at Breakthrough Central Texas. I am interested in this position because I strongly believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to attend college and fulfill their dreams, but I also know that the playing field is not leveled for everyone. I want to work in an environment that empowers and supports the youth to reach their full potential and this position offers that incredible opportunity.

Media surrounds us, from the graphic design on our morning cellophane coffee cups, to the carefully designed spreads in the magazines we religiously read. The world of Media and Film is beautifully complex, and something which I strongly want to be involved with. I have always immersed myself in the world of Media, and have only ever felt truly satisfied when I’ve been involved in broadening my knowledge and understanding of the industry.

An important short-term goal is attending Mercer University for both undergraduate and graduate school with the most financial aid as possible My parents emigrated from India and came here with nothing. They have suffered through many hardships financially and personally to provide for my sister and I. Due to my dad’s health issues he is forced to retire and stay home. Our expenses solely rely on my mother’s income and the income I receive from my part time job. Since my family’s funds are limited, applying for financial aid is critical in order for me to attend college.

Everyone has different intentions for going to college, I chose to attend in order to advance and gain new skills, to experience the college life, and discover God’s plan for my life.

I have committed myself to pursuing my undergraduate degree because I am completely aware of the importance of education. I am also a proud first generation college student determined to succeed, undeterred by my circumstances as an adolescent. I didn’t have a typical childhood. My mother was an alcoholic who also struggled severely with drug addiction. Unfortunately, her dependence led her into a cycle of domestic violence, jail, and many failed treatment attempts. Her choices preceded her absence for the majority of my life. From my knowledge, she didn’t even attain a high school diploma. My father was always present in my life. He raised my brother and me without the help of a significant other. He always emphasized education so he put me through private schooling.

I was raised in a very negative household, filled with alcoholism, mental abuse, and financial turbulence. As a child I did very poorly in school, and often failed classes because I was so angry and withdrawn. To my knowledge, my teachers did not know about my home life.

Education has always been a major part of my life. While growing up, I always knew that I would graduate from high school and then continue my education in college. That has always been my plan and now I am making it a reality by attending college here at Utah State University. There are many reasons as to why I am here. The first reason would have to be that I made a goal when I was younger that I would attend college. I am very dedicated to any kind of goal that I make and going to college to pursue a career that required a higher education has always been a dream of mine. I like a challenge and I feel that not just anyone can come to college. Those who attend college need to have the right mindset to have the motivation and dedication

I am still trying to figure out is how I will pay for college and therefore am not sure what I need the my financial aid package to look like in order for me to be able to attend Lycoming. While I hope to collect the money I have earned from working during high school, I do not know if I will have access to this when I move out.

I was born and raised in India. Moved to U.S to go to High School and since then living here in Seattle. I am currently student at University of Washington finishing up my Bachelors in Biology and Health Studies. Recently I decided to go to nursing program so therefore I am here at Cascadia finishing up my pre requisites. I grew up back home in India with my grandparents, uncles, and aunts while my parents were here in U.S. Most of my schooling was done in boarding school so I was very independent from the beginning. My love for travelling gave me opportunity to visit England and Dubai for several years before finally moving here with my parents.

As I grew older, I noticed how important is to accomplished your goals, not only for your personal satisfaction but also because with this I 'll be able to provide a better living to my family and with this to motivate my own kids to pursue their goals and show them how important a college education is for their

Right now I'm a freshman and I still have 3 more years of high school after this one. Although I do have an idea of what I want to do, I don't know the specifics. I know that I want to graduate high school with really good grades. I might be considering graduating early, but I'm not sure. After I decide what I want to do when I grow up, I will go to the best college for whatever career that I end up choosing. Most likely I'll go to college outside of NC. Right now I don't mind what state I go to but I want to change it up a bit and go somewhere other than here.

My parents instilled within me a great appreciation for my education. My father, who never finished high school, traveled thousands of miles with my mother away from their rural villages in India to come to America, the fabled land of opportunity. Having this upbringing has motivated me to make the best of the situation that my parents never had. As a result, I made it my mission to excel in school and my extracurricular activities, so that they may help me to achieve my aspirations in life.
