Why I Want To Go To Blackhawk Technical College

I attended Braden River High school until I heard about the opportunity to participate in the dual enrollment program at SCF. I have always been motivated in school, but was ready for a new challenge. I started at State College of Florida my senior year of high school as a dual enrollment student. During my first semester, I took thirteen credit hours and earned a 4.0. The second semester I increased to fourteen credits and again earned a 4.0. By May I had earned twenty six college credits and retained a 4.0 Grade point average. I have always had a passion for school, so there was no chance that I wanted to take a summer break. In May, I enrolled as a non-degree seeking student so that I could continue going to State College of Florida until I received my high school transcripts. This summer I have earned another fourteen college credits and so far have maintained my 4.0 grade point average. I plan to attend State College of Florida in the fall and spring to earn my AA degree and then transfer to either University of Florida or Florida Atlantic University. I want to study microbiology and cell

I know that going to Oregon Institute of Technology will open many opportunities for me and will lead me to achieving my goals. It’s not only the best choice for me educationally wise but it's a place that I can see myself calling a home. I have confidence that this school has what I need to help me become a successful dental hygienist. The Oregon Institute of Technology Dental Hygiene program is one of the best in the state and I know it'll make me into a great dental hygienist one day. Not only that but the campus is beautiful and I can see myself being happy there. I know I will meet great new people and it'll give me the best college experience I can get. I'll admit that at first Oregon institute of Technology was not a school I had really

Throughout 9th and 10th grade, I have worked very hard academically. Yet, as I am about to venture into 11th grade, I feel as though I am ready for a challenge. Truthfully, the thought of starting college at the age of 16 sounded just like the type of challenge I needed. Furthermore, there are three main reasons why I want to attend the Mary Baldwin Early College: because I am seeking an academic challenge, because I believe that the Mary Baldwin Early College will help me to achieve my career ambitions, and because the Mary Baldwin Early college offers everything I hope to experience at a college.

UNC Wilmington has been my top pick for the college I want to attend to obtain my Bachelor’s degree in Business ever since I was a Junior in high school. I applied for the fall 2016 to spring 2017 semester my senior year of high school and was not accepted into UNC Wilmington. I knew I had a big decision to make and I needed to figure out what I was going to do since I was not accepted into UNC Wilmington. I had been accepted to other universities and I could have easily attended one of them instead but I knew where I really wanted to be was UNC Wilmington. I finally made the decision to take one year at Cape Fear Community College and work hard to get my GPA up to where it needs to be in order to be considered for the fall 2017 semester. I realized that

In order to fully prepare for college, I first had to decide and know where I am going, and what I am going to do there. For this, I decided to go to Georgia Institute of Technology. This school is where I want to go, because my mother went there, and ever since I was a child, I have wanted to go there. It is located in Georgia (where I mostly grew up in), so that would give me the chance to live

Attending DCCC is a very important part of my career life as it is where I am going to attend my classes to become a paramedic. I do not think I want to be a paramedic for the rest of my life, I think it will be a good job to have until I can attend school to be what I really would like to be, a Surgeon. I heard about DCCC a few times when my mother and sister would talk about going back to college and what college they would go to. Even then though I did not think I would be attending DCCC. I did not realize I wanted to attend DCCC until 8th grade when we were told about both Yadkin Valley Regional Career Academy and Davidson Early College. During that time I chose to go head and apply to Valley and it turns out that got actually accepted. After I got accepted I decided to research and learn more about DCCC and what they had to offer with Valley. From the moment I heard about it I knew it was a good fit for me to go ahead and start pursuing my career without procrastinating. I am now taking my second college class and have really liked what I have done so far.

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.

The beginning of my freshman year of high school I realized that unless I got a job right after I turned 16 I wouldn’t be able to pay for college so I needed to start making steps in the right direction now. I started working at McDonald’s my sophomore year of high school four months after I turned 16 and continued to work there until I graduated from Polk Collegiate High School. A friend told me about Polk Collegiate High School the beginning of my sophomore year and I knew that it would be the best financial choice that I could make at the moment. I spent the last two years of my

At the end of my sophomore year, I had to make one of three choices, the first one being I could simply stay in my high school and continue on the path that I was going. The second one being I could go to a technology center for half of the school day, and the third being I could do concurrent enrollment and start taking college courses early. I made the

Even though I have gotten into another good high school the thought of not going to High Tech still lingers in my mind. High Tech is one of the High Schools that will me most beneficial to me instead of McNair, Infinity Institute, or County Prep. This High School is very important to me and it will be a dream come true to me if I get in. It would lead me into an excellent college and help my education life be one of the

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.

-As middle school days came to an end there were many decisions that needed to be made. Those which included high school choices. In regards to my selection, I had picked Libra Academy as my first choice and Huntington Park High School as the last. By the time spring came, many of my peers were getting letters that determined what schools they were going to be attending for the next school year. I did face the reality when I received my notice and it stated that I was going to be attending Huntington Park High school the following year. As school started I was determined to keep on working hard and I did as I passed all my classes but as the following year arrived, I had chosen to transfer to Libra academy due to the lack of AP classes Huntington

I wanted to attend college as soon as I graduated from high school. Now the decision of where I wanted to go was the tough part. At first I thought I wanted to go to a four year university, but I then thought of some of the things that I may not like about going to a four year university. While I was in high school, I applied for many colleges throughout New York. While some I got accepted into, then there was some where I got denied from. I got accepted into The College of Saint Rose, University of Hartford, Suny Plattsburg, and a couple of others. I wanted to attend Saint Rose and Plattsburg, but I didn’t think I was ready to leave and be sort of off on my own. I am very close to my family, they are all my best friends. There were events in my high school time that made me believe that I am not ready for college, and I had to be right emotionally first. I thought the first day being in the dorm I would call my mom up and tell her that I want

My mother is an elementary school teacher and my father is a mechanic for the United States Postal Service. Together, they have two biological children (my younger sister and I,) five adopted children (four of my brothers and one sister,) and one foster son, who will be adopted soon. However their generosity far exceeds their income and my family has been financially insecure for most of my life. With eight people living in our household the cost of the morgage, food, medical bills, and other expenses are high, especially for two people from middle class with modest income. Because of the high cost of living for my family, my parent's aren't able to pay for my college or take out a loan. I've been able to get some financial aid at my choice college, however, the whole cost isn't met.

I struggled with the idea of college from the beginning, even more so when it actually came down to picking one and signing the paperwork. I applied to just three schools: Grand View University, University of Northern Iowa, and Wartburg College. I worried that my horizons were limited because some of my peers seemed to spend every spare moment filling out applications for colleges and scholarships. I knew not what I wanted to do or how well I would transition from high school to college and independent living.
