Why I Want To Attend College

While I researched different colleges, I found that there were a lot of differences between them. Some colleges are are 4-year commitments and some are only 2 years. While one college may only offer a masters and bachelors degree in one major, another college may only offer an associate's. College is very expensive and tuition is rising dramatically each year which is why I would also like to join the Navy and get a free education. Although I would have to go to a college that offers NROTC in order to get tuition assistance, it will be well worth it. After I retire from the Navy, I will use my major and become a registered nurse. My goal in this paper is to inform the reader on what my plans are for after I graduate high school.

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.

As Malcolm X once said: “education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.” Thus, being in college is my desire since I was a kid. College is my first priority, goal, and target. First, I want to learn and have the enough knowledge as I can. Second, I will discover the diversity of things. Besides that, I will get myself satisfied when I achieve my dream. Then to let my family be proud of me. On the other hand, I am originally from Iraq, and I had raised in Syria. In fact, I had graduated from high school in 2006, but I did not have the chance to continue my education and attend college because of the expensive costs. Furthermore, attending college was my biggest dream ever as I mentioned that before.

Without a doubt, I can truly say that the reason I want to go to college is because I will not only be challenged academically but intellectually as well. For the period of time you spend in college, you're exposed to many different ideas and people. Some of the things I hope to gain from college besides an excellent path to a career, is an unforgettable educational experience, memorable moments, and meeting new people. I have been fortunate enough to travel to many countries and live overseas. Travelling has opened my eyes to a whole new world of cultures, beliefs, ideas, and people. In college, I will have the opportunity to interact with people from all around the world that share the same interests as me, when going into the fascinating

My first choice college was the University of Connecticut. But, I was not admitted to the main campus. I then made the choice to attend [current college] over UConn’s Stamford campus.

When some students near the end of their high school career they know where they want to go to college in the future, unlike those students, I am not fully sure where I would like to attend after I graduate from high school. Although I have looked at a few different colleges in New York, as well as some in surrounding states, I have not narrowed it down to one specific college, however I know what my end goal will be. I want to become either a network administrator or a systems administrator, for a fairly large size company in a decently sized location. One college I have been looking into recently has been CUNY Brooklyn City Tech, like the name suggests this college is located in Brooklyn. At CUNY City Tech I want to go into the computer systems degree program with a specialization in Network and Security, this degree will greatly help advance me towards my

I would construe the colleges as the practice of learning process about how to be part of the society. It is a challenging, but the college could absolutely be built upon on how you do, and how you like it. However, this does not mean the college is necessary to step into the association. For example, if you are desired to be a doctor, engineer, or CEO of the certain association, it will be certainly ambitious challenge for those of who do not have any college degree. However, in case that some people who thinks their dream career does not require any college degree, then you might want to start considering spending your deposits on college.

"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

I remember as a little girl setting my doll babies up in my room and playing pretend school. I had this really big chalk board and plenty of books that I would get from the library.

University of Arizona would be my first choice for college. The reasons why I want to go to University of Arizona is because it’s close to home, I would receive in state tuition, and most likely would receive a scholarship. I enjoy the towns’ environment that surrounds University of Arizona. I also am interested in medicine and their medical school is excellent. My brother currently goes to University of Arizona and he is fond of the school. If I attend U of A, my brother will help me get used to Tucson and college life in general. My dad will help me pay for college for all four years. I will chip in and help him by getting a job in college, applying for scholarships, and student loans or grants. I haven’t decided if I want apply for student

As a lover of basketball from a young age, what originally attracted me to Syracuse was it’s standings in college basketball. As college began to approach I decided to look into the school which holds my favorite college basketball team. While exploring Syracuse I realized that the university has qualities that I look for as I embark on my undergraduate years as a young adult.

Imagine one day having it all, a big house, nice vehicle, savings toward college and suddenly, a tragedy hits and you lose it all. My mother became unemployed after 10 years on her job. We lost our home, and was forced to use my college funds in order to survive.

In my senior years, I volunteered at an NGO called In Arms Reach, which focuses on kids whose parents are incarcerated. The program’s motto is, “Every child deserves a chance”. I tutored in the after-school program and conduct workshops on life skills. I assisted in piloting one program called “We are all going to college”. The aim of the program is to give the students a practical experience of what it feels like to walk through the doors of college and to educate them on the requirements that are needed in order to apply and be accepted to that college. As a mentor, I encourage them to set goals for a college of their choice, and I use it to push them to reach for the sky. Having stronger leadership skills will give me the ability to push
