Why I Want To Attend College

The answer to this question is challenging to me because having two diplomas in higher education quite challenging to answer “Why do you want to go to college?” Trying to apply this question to the UoPeople and paraphrasing it as “Why do you want to go to the UoPeople,” I meet another issue. I have already responded to this question in the Discussion Forum.

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. My goals for the future include getting into a college with a good teaching and mathematics program, this could give me a variety of jobs and I was speaking to someone and they told me that people are looking out for women who have a degree in mathematics which will help me to obtain a good paying job.

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.

As a first generation student, academic promise hasn’t always been a focus of mine until my high school years. Coming from a family where the only post-high school education is whatever training you receive at work, it is hard to relate when the possibility of university is so far away. Four years after high school, I have not only worked full time but also received my associates degree from my hometown community college. That is all great thanks to the family that have raised me, and taught me that hard work is the only work capable of doing. My parents never had the opportunity to attend college, so they taught me what they knew in life instead; where manners are always required, hard work is mandatory, and when finished with that work; you

Why Colorado Christian University In 1979 I enlisted in the US Navy. I was in college and wanted to complete my education. While in the Navy I always said to myself I will finish college someday. I got married and it seem that that goal will never happen. Years when by, then in 2000 I when back to school, worked hard and received my Associate degree in Accounting. Work at the County of Orangeburg as Purchasing Clerk for 9 years. The goal of getting a BS degree can up. But it was on the back burner again. I just did not had the time, coaching high school football, job, Church all was too much at that time. BY this time I had Kids in college, seem like the dream was over then. In 2011 I enroll at Colorado Technical College, for a year did not complete.

I am not a traditional student applying for a chance to study at your college. I am not here right after graduation from high school nor am I trying to change careers. I am here to begin a career after more than 15 years out of high school, with life experiences in a country that has become my home, half way across the world from where I started my journey.

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.

College has always been in my plan to success even before I knew what I wanted to be. My parents pushed me to do my best in school and attend a college with high standards. Neither of my parents attended college, but my father enrolled in a certification program to become a mechanic. My father enjoyed his job, but my mother felt as if she could have accomplished more if she furthered her education. Every time the topics of schools erupt so does my mother, emphasizing my education and the importance of college. She talks about how times change and it’s a “dog eat dog” world now, and I believe her. Saying jobs have changed over time is an understatement. Back then a select few would get the job they wanted, while the rest made a career out of

I will be attending Fairmont State University in the fall to acquire a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science to expand my knowledge, skills, and opportunities. I want to learn beyond what high school had to offer me and develop new skills to help me find a career. My goal is to have a stable, dependable job. I am certain going to a university will expand my opportunities and career qualifications. Another major reason I want to go to college is because I want to experience cultural diversity and learn more about the world around me. I believe that going to college is the best way for me to achieve my aspirations and fulfill my ambitions.

My high school experience hasn't been a success for me to get to college (Binus Univ) by taking all of the class I needed to get this far. Actually, i'm not graduate in 2016 but a year ago, I have came a long way during my high school because I really thought I wouldn’t have made it this far due to struggling to keep my grades up but as I started it’s really hard at all to keep them up.

"Art is a lie that helps us understand the truth" (Picasso). At the end of senior year of high school I didn't have the desire to go to college. I never took any art classes throughout any of my previous education, I just made art because it helped me cope and distract myself from overthinking any issue that I was dealing with at the time. The admissions counselor Benjamin Rich came to my high school and that day I learned that the Kentucky College of Art and Design existed. I thought about it and decided what do I have to lose? So I gained up some courage and I tried to submit my portfolio. I was an autodidact, I thought there was no way I'd get accepted because there are so many more talented artists out there than I, but believe it or not

The one person who helping me and pushing me is my girlfriend but she not only my girlfriend she's my best friend. Where I'm from the community I'm around is all about sports how they want me to do is going to college for sports and to myself sports is not there forever. If I don't succeed in football it's like an epic failure and that pressure is on me, but I want to also go to college for physical therapist after that go to the army for the physical specialist. After telling my girlfriend that football is not what I want to do after college they think about how I'm going to further my education. I tell them I can find ways to further my education I just have to stick with the dream I wanted to do, but at the same time they don't like

Gonzaga is well known as a Jesuit University and this caught my attention, especially since both of my older sisters have or are attending a Jesuit University. Both of my sisters have had amazing experiences by the Jesuit’s and this has further encouraged me to go. The Jesuits are well known for helping their students succeed in more than their classes. Up until halfway through my first semester of my senior year, I had no idea how I wanted my college to help me grow, I was unsure about what I wanted my college experience to represent. I have watched both of my sisters grow during their college experiences but it took some time to discover what I was looking for. Despite my lack of knowledge on what I wanted for my college experience Jesuit Universities did appeal to me.

There are many reasons as to why I would love to attend the Institute. First and foremost, I have always wished to experience something new. Don't get me wrong, living in New York has its adventures whether that is seeing a rat carry a pizza down the stairs in the subway or watching people dance for money in Times Square. But there's nothing like going out and seeing how other people in different palaces live. Since I have gone to KIPP for the past six years, I only have a bit of knowledge as to what other places outside of New York live like. The places that we have gone to are Washington D.C., New England, Utah, and Virginia. But aside from this, my music group in the school gave us the opportunity to play for a stadium full of 2,000-5,000 people last summer, for an event called the summit in Atlanta, Georgia. But from my experience, we have only been taken to tourist sites, which makes me feel privileged to be in a school like mine, but it is not what I actually want to experience. I want to be able to go to a place and see its norms, not influenced by the tourist ways that would want to make a person stay.
