Why I Want To Be A Senior?

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 have many feelings about being a Sophomore. Mainly they are mixed emotions, a fusion of excitement and dread. Starting off this year I am looking forward to no longer being a freshman. While we are yet to be upperclassmen, it is still a better standpoint in my opinion. On the other hand, I am mainly hesitant about being back at school in general, the early mornings, rushing, and stress from classwork. Aside from the basics, I am hesitant about my class schedule, it appears to be quite daunting with a mix of normal and accelerated classes alike.

When I was younger I had a babysitter who was in high school. I looked up to her so much and wanted to be a big girl like her and go to high school. Little did I know that when I got that old I would want to be that little girl again. With senior year beginning I’ve been getting hounded with college emails and universities calling to invite me to visit. Having to make the decision of where I want to go to college, what I want to study, and how I’m gonna make all that happen while still being in high school and getting treated like a child is a bit overwhelming. I never realized how overwhelming and stressful senior year would be.

College isn’t for everybody people have set their minds on believing if they go to college they will fail. Angel B.Perez, article “Want to Get Into College? Learn to Fail” talks about how students need to fail in order to be successful. “I look forward to the possibility of failure”(Perez). This quote indicates that students go to college with the fear of failure, but who said college was easy? College is not easy, but not impossible students have always have there parents on their sides to help them through their difficult times. “You see, my parents have never let me fail”(Perez). Your parents are not with you when you go to college so weather you go you need to be responsible on graduating with your effort.

I want to hold the position for Miss Freshman because I know that I’d be a great representative. Everyone is equal so I cannot say that I will be better than anyone, but I can certainly say that I will do my best. I am capable of taking on the challenges that lie ahead if I am voted for this position. I know if I were Miss Freshman of the class of 2020 I could make a couple of major changes in the students. I am a good leader, I’m very dependable, and I know how to set good examples. I am also a very reliable person and any task that I receive will be one of my main priorities. I am an approachable person and an awesome communicator and listener. My best effort will absolutely be put into this job. I am a very well organized and neat person. I am also an assertive person and I am without a doubt going to

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.

The night before my first day of college my dad sent me a text that read, “Big day tomorrow. Get up early, sit in the front, and participate. This is your school and education. I am proud of you. You are ready for this. Have a great day and have fun. Love you, dad.” My parents know that me attending college and getting good grades is just the first step to the career I want. I want to become a Nurse Practitioner, and I was able to decide to pursue this career when I had the opportunity to learn about and see different healthcare professions. There are several smaller goals I have to reach first before I am able to reach my main goal, but I have my family encouraging me.

It has always been a dream of mine to attend Grand Valley State University since I was in middle school. My older brother did not attend college because he went straight into the military and my little brother is still in high school. I have always had the pressure of doing so well in school because my brothers do not apply themselves. This has pushed me to always do my best. This year it has finally all hit me that I am tired of using my pressure from my parents to motivate me and that I need to be self-motivating. This has taken a huge toll on my grades because I am transitioning.

Entering into college, I wanted to do public health, but I wanted to be a doctor to please my father and to satisfy his hunger to have a doctor in his family. My father made sure his children went to college, and if they didn’t, it was clear they couldn’t stay in his house anymore. My parents struggled to support all of my siblings and supply each of us with everything we needed. I never realized the struggle until I got older and understood the value of money and time. My parents never wanted my brothers and I to work while we were in school, they wanted us to focus on our grades and activities that would help us get into college. Overall, the support from my family and seeing how hard my

The Rural Alaska Honors Institute (RAHI) is a very helpful program for me to become involved in, especially since I plan on going to college after high school to better my education and to shape my future. Since RAHI is at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), and I am attending UAF in the fall this year, majoring in Geoscience, it will help me get the feel of college and give me the experience I need. This program is something that interests me a lot and I will get to meet new people who I might be going to college with.

They always encourage me that if i want to succeed i will have to strive for that diploma. I know i have had a stage in my life where i felt that going to a University after high school was a waste of time and a waste of money. But to see how bad my parents wished they had that opportunity made me realize i can not take this for granted. My dad always says jokingly “ I could always learn what you learn on youtube,” Which i always find funny , gives me an insight of him still having that dream of going to school. I understand many choose not to attend college because it is not for them, like my siblings my two oldest siblings both aged twenty- four, and twenty-five, both tried the whole college experience but did not choose to continue because it was not for them. Making me first generation college students. Of course this journey i have experienced has not been that easy. I know that when i was in highschool i did not value education as much as i do to this point. I was young a felt that just taking the easy way out. When i started seeing my grades slip, was the moment i realized everything my parents encouraged me to do i was doing the opposite. Until i got older i started realizing how important education is . I did experience some personal hardships and challenges where i felt i could not continue, but had my parents reminding me Hard work comes to those who really want it and are willing

My goal is to become a Speech Pathologist because my passion to help others. For several years, my mother has fostered and cared for Medically-fragile adults and kids it saddens me that children or anyone have to endure these different diseases but I'm excited that there are programs that cater to their every type of need. One of these fields that cater to the different diseases are Speech-Pathology. It's not just for helping or teaching to speak it also includes language and swallowing disorders, investigating behavioral patterns associated with communication disorders, and more. I chose this field because I see myself being happy while doing it. I am a very hard and dedicated worker I love to give back and to take care of people. With this

I spent endless days and nights thinking about my future. What was I going to do? Where was I going to go? How was I going to do it? I didn’t know why I was stressing about it since I knew that I really didn’t have to make any permanent decisions until the end of Junior year. I guess the fact that I am a first born in the United States has always influenced me to try and surpass my peers when it came to academics. My goal in life was to make sure I would live the ‘American Dream’, but what I wasn’t aware of was that I was already living that dream thanks to my parents. As I’ve said in this article, I wouldn’t even be here writing this article if it wasn’t for them. I would’ve not had the infinite amount of perseverance, courage, and bravery to be writing this article. At some point in every teenager’s life, including mine, there’s that moment where you just want your parents to leave you alone. Trust me, I’ve been there, but in the end, your parents are always going to be there for you. This year for me involves many college visits and tours, stressing about AP classes, extracurriculars, and finding that one college (but let’s be real here, more like a list of ten), that is perfect for me before applying next fall. I know for a fact that every step of the way there my parents will be with me leading all the way to when I receive my diploma, to dropping me off at my dream

To many students it may come as a surprise that once they hit there senior year they realize they don't know what they want to do with there lives, or which college they wish to use in order to become the person they want to be. They become seniors and then realize they aren't ready to go to college or to move away from home. I know this because I'm going through it right now. Growing up, college was always the end goal in my mind. My parents and teachers would emphasize the importance of getting a great education through college. They talked about all the amazing opportunities that would come after receiving a post-secondary education, and many of my peers were told similar things. The discussion my family and I had was never about if I was

I am a senior at Mooreville High School who is in a contest to win $25,000. I am also a musician who plays at talent shows, festivals, and restaurants. I am not employed, which is a major problem because senior year is very costly, and so is playing gigs. I have been searching for employment all summer, but I have not had any luck. My parents can afford to pay for my senior year, however, I do not think the both of them should pay for the costs when I am able to work and can help them out. I am able to work and can drive a vehicle, but that is the other problem...my car is not very reliable. A more dependable vehicle could get me to school, work, and my gigs I play. I am a hard worker who will go to the extreme to get my work done
