Why I Want To Attend Massanutten Regional Governor's School

The Earth is our home, so why don’t we take care of it and preserve it? Most people think that they can’t make a difference as just one individual in a world of over 7 billion people, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Anything from being a vegetarian, which highly reduces the amount of water used and byproduct created when farming animals, to carpooling to school helps combat global warming. By convincing my English class that global warming is an important issue that we are facing today and will face in the future, I hope to get them to take their own initiatives to reduce their footprint on our planet Earth.

I am honored to be a nominee for the Governor's Honors Program (GHP). In being a part of GHP next summer, I have high hopes of learning more about my instrument and the places it can lead me. I have already decided that I plan on using my instrument and also my musical ability as part my career later on in life. My goal is to become a professional musician and a music therapist. I believe that this program can make that goal possible, as well as push me closer to reaching my full potential in many different aspects of life as well.

Struggling throughout the process of discovering myself and becoming whom I want to be. Setting aside a plan to be successful in all I want to do, time takes on a major role. Embarking on this school and work process as a nontraditional student having no stability. Without any stability stressing may occur and

The problem that the pro- global warming theorists have created is that of social standing and little else. While there may be scientific backing to support some of the theory, the media presents the problem with great sensationalism. Global warming and energy conservation has thus become a trend and losses some of its validity through this. The scare tactics used by the media to “promote awareness” are just that, a linguistic ploy to gain favor. “Awareness of this global threat reinforced public concern and environmental problems and thereby provided environmental activists, scientists, and policy makers with new momentum in their efforts to promote environmental protection.” (McCright, 2000) This statement draws line to the potential benefits that would be received if the pro-global warming theorists were to draw enough attention to the issue. Driven by social empowerment and conviction to environmental protection, these activists misrepresent the actual threat and paint it as being much more

I want to attend Archbishop Mitty because initially it felt like the right place for me. From the day I took the tour and attended the High School Information Night, I knew something felt good and I wanted to explore it more. The excitement in the eyes of the students presenting, the joy they described and the opportunities available to them was something I could not stop thinking about. Coming from a small middle school, I wanted more.

Attending Goddard will allow me to awaken and discover my true potential for my life. Having the control to create my curriculum and having to challenge my writing skills after not having to write a paper for school in over Sixteen years. All new and wonderful creations will be discovered. Also after attending The Institute for Integrative Nutrition which involve complete independent studying along with deadlines I knew

The academic environment of the Governor’s School is a sturdy foundation for intellectual prosperity. It sets students on a path with endless opportunities for their future. By attending the Governor’s School I would be able to further myself academically in a way I simply cannot without the advanced classes, better environment, and abundance of opportunities that the Governor’s School has to offer. I have decided to pursue these opportunities by applying to the Governor’s School. The illusion of staying on a college campus creates an experience that would help me further my academic interests, talents, and abilities.

Making adjustments in life, no matter the situation, always takes time. These first couple of weeks of the new semester have been challenging for me. Despite the encounters, I was still able to learn an ample amount of information that can also be perceived as life lessons. Throughout this week, I have learned that I am lucky to be born here in the United States, learned the different views of my peers, and learned that I need to be more attentive.

While I started my volunteer educational program, another man was well ensconced in his own. Al Gore took up a cause that many people seemed to be ignoring, our environment. The issues of climate change and general environmentalism are very important to me. I see similarities between the challenges of managing a clean environment for our globe and the challenges of managing good health to me. Through concerted efforts to make routine changes we have the capacity to live more ecologically friendly, and often healthier lives. I have seen that with just a few adjustments, I can control my diabetes to the point where most people do not even know I have it. Likewise, I believe that if we commit to making fundamental changes in the way we go about our lives, we can easily remedy several environmental issues we face today. By going to Berkeley Law School and focusing on Environmental Law, I can apply my own life’s lessons

We have spent hundreds of years ruining the planet and to be honest most people don’t care. The world that we live in today is more concerned about the best looking car rather than the car that is best for the atmosphere. They don’t take the time to recycle because they don’t care where the materials end up and quite frankly it’s been going on like this for a long time, all the way back to grandparents and great grandparents. If you are raised in a family who doesn’t necessarily care about global warming and what’s happening to the earth then the cycle is going to continue and in the blink of an eye the entire planet will be in shambles. People are losing their farms because of the increase of heat in the northeast. Increased storm surges are affecting the productivity of crops and forests in the southeast region and the list goes on. But even the people who are being affected directly may not be concerned about the bigger issue. One person cannot save an entire planet so even if everyone in our class is blown away by this research and chooses to change their lifestyle in order to help the earth, it still won’t be enough to undo all the damage that has already been

Have you heard what is happening to the environment? Like how Greenland loses is 286 Gigatonnes of ice per year! And as of January 22, 2017, it has lost 3778.7 Gigatonnes since 2002! Why you ask? It’s due to Climate change. Climate change is a serious problem in our world, It can either end it or make it prosper that is why I chose to research it. Climate change won’t just effect on a country or continent, it will affect the whole world, and we are a part of that world. So, I decided to research it to see what we as humanity can do about climate change. To help I asked myself more questions such as “What will happen if we don’t intervene?”, “What is the source of the problem?”, “What are our choices as humanity?” After my research, I believe that there is a way to stop climate change and to do that we as humanity need to work together.

Meredith College, its’ students and staff, represent a family to me, with an excellent learning environment. The education I would receive at Meredith would be unforgettable and outstanding, with experiential learning, since I am considering a major in Early Childhood Education. I would love for Meredith to be where I plan, pursue and reach my goals in college, even in challenges, to shape my future and to make me who I will be.

I have been fortunate to grow up with the woodlands in my back yard and have had daily access to the wonderful world of wildlife. The creatures that live in the woods give me glimpses into their daily lives as they build their homes, hunt for food, and raise their families. This constant connection to nature has taught me much about forest conservation and what a healthy habitat needs. For me, the subject of climate change is of personal interest; the challenges to our environment are daunting, to say the least. Scientific studies provide evidence that climate change is real and harmful.

Upon first glance, my new school did not seem like much of a fit for me. Everyone seemed to like it, but I was having trouble fitting into the daily grind of a school that required much more effort and attention than I was ever used to. I did my best to keep up with everyone else, but this was hard for me, seeing as I was used to being one of the

There was a famous scientist who put forward the first idea that the planets in the solar system are going around the sun. But his idea didn't been believed in back then. His name is Nicholas Copernicus, and he referred to God in his works, and didn't believe that there is any contraction between his system and the Bible.(Banville) And there was an other great scientist called Isaac Newton, he is a genius in In mechanics, and mathematics. But very less people know that he believe in God.(Force) There are more scientist who believe in God, such as Galileo Galilei and Albert Einstein. My dream is to graduate from the best America university and then to be a great scientist who can help others to live a better life. So I need to work on three things, first to be stronger inside, second to learn more, to find a chance to help people.
