Why I Want To Go To College

The answer to this question is challenging to me because having two diplomas in higher education quite challenging to answer “Why do you want to go to college?” Trying to apply this question to the UoPeople and paraphrasing it as “Why do you want to go to the UoPeople,” I meet another issue. I have already responded to this question in the Discussion Forum.

My duties and responsibilities are to watch and patrol areas to guard against illegal activity and dangerous scenarios. I work to protect the health and safety of the public, and serve as physical symbols to deter petty crimes, such as theft and acts of domestic terrorism. I am well aware of my surroundings in order to detect and deter crimes. I have the ability to watch and observe without getting distracted. I would like to attend Colorado Christian University to pursue my studies because of the fact that CCU integration of academic achievement, character development, and spiritual formation prepares CCU graduates to honor God and impact the world with their lives. College education also help me choose my career more wisely and college experience makes people become more confident and can make better and well judged decisions. A college education can teach a person about his or her moral obligations. It improves the society because of the values and traditions that a person learns in college. I am a hard working and well-rounded individual. My diverse experiences polished my protective, preventive and safety skills and provided me with a thorough understanding of potential

The first goal I have is to understand the scriptures in the Bible and grow in my faith. When I started to look at colleges, I didn’t even think about attending a Christian college. I contacted a junior college in a nearby town to see what they had to offer me. By the grace of God, they recommend me to CCU. At the time that I enrolled, I didn’t realize that I would be required to take Bible classes. At first, I wondered

Going to college, is where your journey in life really begins. Choosing the right college for you is one of the biggest decisions you make in life. I choose California Baptist University to enhance my studies, meet people pursuing the same passion as I am, and become closer to God.

I have chosen Tidewater Community College because it is my stepping stone. College is not just a degree but the completion of a goal I started 20 years ago. When I had my son, I attempted to go to school and work. Due to family issues and other life events, I was unable to finish. Now that my son is in college it is my time to complete what I had started years ago. This is a personal goal for me. I am not a first generation college student. My older siblings attending college and graduated. My objective is to obtain my Associate’s Degree and continue on to my Bachelor’s degree. I have over 15 years of experience working in IT and I want to add a degree to my resume. I believe that this will make me more marketable for my career. These are all

I have wanted a college education for many years, but haven’t known where to begin. Once I looked into Christian Colorado University (CCU) I knew I wanted to attend. I want to be a part of a community where I can earn an education while being able to share my faith in God with other students. I feel that being accepted into Christian Colorado University would be the first step in advancing my education, and my faith. I would like to be able to be a part of a university that allows me to learn academically, and strengthen my relationship with God. Overall, many experiences in my life have changed me. However, the miracles in which I witnessed at IHOP, has given me stronger faith. Now I am finally ready to begin my college education. I think attending a school where I can connect with others in terms of faith would be a blessing. I look forward to this journey and opportunity at CCU. I plan on pursuing Theology as a Major. My experience at IHOP led me to want to learn more about God. I have the confidence I need, the spirit of the Lord living within me, and I know that with God the impossible doesn’t exist. Thank you, Erika

With thinking of going to a community college in mind, I began to search for community colleges around me. I found one not far from my home called Johnston Community College. Living only about twenty minutes away and in the same county as the school was great but what I did not like was the school’s atmosphere. To me, the school reminded me of a prison with its tall grayish brown walls and barely any windows. I did not want to attend a school that to me felt like a prison, so I kept looking for other community colleges. When I was looking around, I found a community college called PITT. One fact about PITT that I liked was how close it was to ECU. I ended up not applying to PITT because to drive to and from school every day would be a total of two hours and forty-one minutes of driving every day. Along with how far a drive to PITT would be every day, the cost of gas to drive to school would be too much money. Searching for the right community college became easy at the end. After searching through a bunch of different community colleges, I finally narrowed my choices down to one

From the time I was in junior high, my grandmother had been telling me about College of the Ozarks and trying to convince me to attend the college. After much consideration, I decided to make College of the Ozarks my top priority when applying to colleges. The atmosphere of the college, the perfect distance from home, and the opportunity to work for my education were all major factors when making this decision. I had attended private Christian schools for most of my life, so the small campus and Christian values of College of the Ozarks appealed to me much more than the chaotic partying ways of a larger university. I knew if I attended College of the Ozarks, many of my classes would be more difficult than at a public university; however, I saw the difficult classes as an opportunity to learn more, which I believed would help me later in life. I also knew the professors at College of the Ozarks would be more caring and more willing to help than those at other colleges.

I tried applying for jobs and everyone wanted at least a year of experience in the field. Currently, still working in the Customer Service field part-time but I’m doing face to face at Sun Life Stadium where the Miami Dolphins and the University of Miami Hurricanes football team plays as a Concession Stand Supervisor, also at the American Airline Arena where the Miami Heat basketball team plays as an Assistant Stand Lead. Now at the age of forty-two I’m engaged to a wonderful man and have a twelve year old daughter at home that will support me in a field that I can use with a company and/or to assist my fiancé in starting his own business. By attending Colorado Christian University I can fully focus on getting my Associate in Business Administration. With this degree I know I can provide a better life for my family. Having a Business Administration I can work for someone or work for myself. Attending Colorado Christian University Online would allow me to work part-time or full-time and still be able to maintain my household. Colorado Christian University Online is more convenient for me because I will have the ability to assist my daughter her homework and complete my own

I’ve never had the opportunity to experience university life after high school as a result of financial responsibilities to my family. Community college was my best hope at beginning my journey to a fulfilling career in the medical field, but it wasn’t enough to fulfill my goals. What I want, or what I need, is a University that will give me the tools and opportunity to move forward even further with my ambitions in life as a contributing member of society. As my friend and I visited different universities, California Baptist University (CBU) gave us a sense of hope and importance we got from no other. I believe by attending California Baptist University I can better myself and that this private university will give me the attention and care I need.

I feel by attending at Colorado Christian University will give me opportunity to advance my career with Frontier Communications. I am wanting to go into training which requires intensive communication skills along with leadership and organizational skills. I also want to continue my education to display and model to my 2 children that you can reach your goals no matter what obsicles that may come to try to deter you. I was pregnant with my first child at 15 years of age. The struggle from having a child at a young age was a very difficult and challenging time in my life. During that time I had no thoughts of continuing my education beyond high school. Some days I had no energy, I no focus, and even determination, I was at a point where I was only surviving day to day was

When I was searching for a better education, instead I was astound by the dorms, dining, clubs, and so much more that college offers. It is impossible to think about education, when all they present to you is the facilities and the accommodation you will get if you enroll to that college. One thing I did not count on was money, without it, you can’t even dream about a college like that one, just if you get a loan, but I was not going to get a loan just to be in a fancy facility. I continue looking and I lost track of what I was looking for and I choose the one near my house. After years of losing my time, now I’m gaining the knowledge I ever wanted.

I have always wanted to help people and the medical field is where I see myself being able to put that to the best use I can. I had my first child at the age of 14 and since then I have always been putting my children first. I feel that it is now my time to achieve my academic goals. Pursuing a degree as a nurse will also help me give my children a better future by setting a good example for them to follow. Colorado Christian University and the nursing programs they offer along with the online classes are a few of the reasons that I believe CCU is a great fit for myself, my family and my education. Being able to do online classes will still allow for me to keep working and providing for my young family and be able to not miss my children growing up. As I looked over the required courses that are offered and criteria that is required of a student at CCU along with the Christian background I felt alive and engaged. The Christian faith based course, I believe will also help me grow and learn in my faith while still being able to focus on my education. I can not wait to get started on my academic goals and dreams at Colorado Christian

What I learned throughout my time in El Salvador will define the way I accomplish my school work. Considering that Jesus is my everything, I have every intention of working with excellence for his sake. Considering that he is the ruler of the universe, I will depend upon him for the strength to accomplish my tasks as a student. Considering that he is the center of my life, my goals in life are wrapped around him. My goal to achieve my bachelor’s degree is based upon my desire to support my loved ones in the future. This desire is one that has sprung out of my longing to love God as the center of my life. I believe that taking courses through CCU’s online program is the best option for me in terms of working towards higher financial responsibility. This program will also allow me to put a greater amount of hours into my job than the traditional on campus undergraduate program would allow, and that is the reason I decided to apply to this program. Working towards greater financial responsibility will allow me to more effectively love and support my family later in life, and through doing so, I believe I will be able to further honor God. Jesus is everything to me, and that reality in my life affects everything I

There is one main reason why I decided to further my education at Colorado Christian University. That reason is I wanted to prove to myself after dealing with chronic nerve pain from a bad surgery and severe depression, that I could still accomplish great achievements.
