Why I Want To Attend Montgomery College

Have you ever wanted to go to Maryland? Or live there? But you just don’t know how to fit in? Well here are all the basic facts to know if you want to visit or live in Maryland! Have you ever wanted to go to a vacation to Maryland but don’t know much about that state?

I have fallen in love with UNCW after first-hand seeing it for myself last summer. I know a lot of alumni from UNCW and have heard nothing but positive things about the school, teachers, and its courses. I am interested in majoring marketing or business and UNCW excels in both of these areas for me. In addition, it provides many courses that assist me in meeting my goals for my career. I would love to attend UNCW because it is close to my hometown but also far enough to where I can be an independent. Not only do I believe the University of North Carolina Wilmington is the right fit for me and my future career but also has every aspect that I am looking for in a college. It has the perfect location, the perfect size, very affordable, and the

While I may not have had much exposure to diversity in my hometown, I have done my best to put myself out there and learn from those who have backgrounds different from my own. I even participated in the Walk a Mile in Her Hijab event last Spring. I think coming to Loyola has helped me to understand my personal privilege, and recognize that I have much to learn regarding all the beautiful things that each individual brings to the table.

I have always known that I wanted to attend a top-tier university. The other details came later; the small size, the proximity to an urban hub, and my major itself. For a while, I was convinced that it would not happen; that I just wouldn’t get in. Now, I realize that I have an opportunity to do so. This is an opportunity I do not intend to waste.

My journey through my undergraduate career has not been smooth. During my freshmen year, I performed very well in my classes. With this newfound confidence, I decided to take part in more extracurricular activities during my sophomore year. Growing up in a small, predominantly white community, I was rarely exposed to diversity. Thus, in my college experience, I hoped to learn more about people from different backgrounds and connect with students that have a similar culture to my own. Fortunately, Loyola University Chicago’s diverse environment allowed me to do this and I became more involved in Loyola’s South Asian Student Alliance (SASA) and Hindu Student Organization (HSO). I also began working so I could help my parents with college finances.

First, I made my decision. I constantly had dreams of being in a classroom. Since I was little, I always wanted to be in school. I was one of those kids that never wanted to miss a day of school, even if I was sick, I wanted to go. After graduating high school, I took some a few years off to save money, then I started to look up for colleges to apply. I emailed Blackhawk Technical College, and everything happened within a few days of that email. When I went to Blackhawk Technical College, everyone was friendly, nice, and happy to help with any questions I had. As a result, I signed up to come to Blackhawk Technical College, and start on my

To attend Georgetown University has been my intent for as long as I can remember. More recently, as I've matured, my goal has become more specific‒ to be a student in the McDonough School of Business. I am motivated to study business at Georgetown University for three reasons‒ the core values of McDonough, the graduates that I know, and the professors that I know.

As I drove up to Goddard College on that cold day in April to Discover Goddard Day I knew it was the school for me. While driving and enjoying the beautiful Vermont view I began to think to myself that now is the time. I get to have some wonderful experiences at Goddard in my Forties by going back to school to get my Bachelors Degree, creating my own curriculum and staying on campus for Eight days per semester. I knew Goddard was for me.

There are many reasons I want to attend Montclair State University. First, I am completely in love with the location of your school because it’s only two hours away from my present residence. My main goal is to stay within my home state because it’s usually less expensive compared to admission to other out of state colleges. Sadly, I’m unable to afford a wider range of college tuitions due to my financial struggles. Luckily, I’m still looking forward to taking advantage of the opportunities offered at your University. I strongly believe that paying more, isn’t always getting more. When I researched Montclair State University, it proved to me that education can be inexpensive, but as effective as higher tuitioned schools.

Two years ago, I thought over potential post graduation plans while returning to school from Thanksgiving break, “So I’ll try to intern the summer before Senior year at JP Morgan, and then hopefully land an offer with them for a two year contract and after that go on to…” Suddenly the train stopped, and a soldier entered and sat across from me. A love for people and respect for our military motivated me to greet him, and we engaged in a moving conversation about his military service and my life as a student for the rest of the train ride. When we arrived in Washington, we exchanged goodbyes, and although I felt happy immediately after our conversation, I curiously felt an empty sadness when I returned to campus.

College is a commitment for the rest of my life, it is where I will spend four years or more, if I get my masters, learning each and every day. I will have to plan to deal with difficult times in the future, and when challenges come and go I will pursue through them, strongly. I will not be able to plan out when challenges will occur but I can face them with the support system of the Meredith family, to reach my goal, short term or long. Determination and commitment go side by side, I am willing to learn, persevere, and sacrifice to reach my goals, no matter the

Graduating from high school last May, I looked for a college experience in which I would be accepted, irrespective of athletic talent or popularity. I chose a place where I’d be accepted for simply being Chad, an intellectually driven black boy from Athens, GA.

I don’t know exactly what I want to do yet. I believe that college is an opportunity for me to continue growing and it’s the place where I will finally find something that I truly love. With my cheery disposition, try-try-again tendencies, open-mindedness, ability to recognize and admit when I’m wrong, and willingness to work on my shortcomings, I have the potential to achieve greatness. And, I know that I will, no matter what happens next, because the quality that I am most of proud of is, and I have my sisters to thank for this,

I want to go to college not to please my community or to get a specific job, my desire to go to college concerns who I want to be. I want to be well educated, to understand the world around me, to be someone who is alway learning and growing. As a lover of history, I am inspired by the people who have come before me, people who have worked hard, showed determination, and done great things. I aspire to fill even a portion of their shoes. I have struggled for years to discover what my purpose is and what I should strive for and so far the only thing I am sure of is that I want to learn and to be always intellectually curious. My hope is that along the way of learning and working I will hit upon the thing I am supposed to do. Once that spark is

For many, after graduating high school the next big step is college. I never asked myself why or if I even wanted to. Yet, since I was not yet ready to join the work force, and didn’t want to disappoint my parents, I simply followed the path that I was supposed to take. For a while I had no direction, but through the loss of my high school English teacher and my dream of making my family proud, I discovered that college was the place I wanted and needed to be.
