Since I was a child, I dreamt of studying abroad. I wanted to do my undergraduate degree in a prestigious college. However, I do not have the money in order to do so comfortably. I heard a lot of Harvard College when I was in seventh grade, so I wanted to go there since then. Despite my parents told me it was impossible to afford something like that, I looked up on internet and asked for information about college. This is how I found out of the option of Summer School, which was the first step I could take in the process of going to college in the United States.
Summer School was the perfect option for me because it was similar to a college application. I had to fill in many forms, take an English proficiency exam and contact people through
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 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.
Media surrounds us, from the graphic design on our morning cellophane coffee cups, to the carefully designed spreads in the magazines we religiously read. The world of Media and Film is beautifully complex, and something which I strongly want to be involved with. I have always immersed myself in the world of Media, and have only ever felt truly satisfied when I’ve been involved in broadening my knowledge and understanding of the industry.
Last year in October I came from school as usual I remember that day was very cold and I was covered in winter clothes my stomach growled from the hunger I had, so I went to eat a hot soup so that the cold would take away. While I ate the soup I listened as my parents talked I could not hear clearly so I decided to go quietly to listen to my parents they decided to move from Mexico to United States the reason why my parents decided that it was better to go to the United States was for job reasons, while I processed everything they said suddenly my mother called me along with my younger brother and explained the reasons why it was necessary for us to leave.
I would like to attend college because I thoroughly enjoy learning. I take great pride in my education; as a women in the twenty-first century, I am going to take advantage of the opportunities I have and educate myself as much as possible. Obtaining a college degree is also essential to thrive in the industry I would like to be involved in after college, the fashion business industry. I selected my major, business administration because I have curated and ran an online store since I was thirteen. I enjoyed the experience so much that I made the decision to pursue it as a career and not just a hobby.
As a first generation student, academic promise hasn’t always been a focus of mine until my high school years. Coming from a family where the only post-high school education is whatever training you receive at work, it is hard to relate when the possibility of university is so far away. Four years after high school, I have not only worked full time but also received my associates degree from my hometown community college. That is all great thanks to the family that have raised me, and taught me that hard work is the only work capable of doing. My parents never had the opportunity to attend college, so they taught me what they knew in life instead; where manners are always required, hard work is mandatory, and when finished with that work; you
After graduation, I want to attend either Bradley university, Lewis university, or University of Illinois at Chicago with intentions of receiving my bachelors degree in either mechanical or civil engineering. I have intentions to attend college for the sake of my future and my family. Being the first one from my clan to attend college would surely make the trials and tribulations both my parents undergo worthwhile. It would be helpful for me knowing that I would not have to live such a difficult live like my father, who lives paycheck to paycheck every week. I hope to make attending college possible by raising as much money dedicated towards my education so that my student debt does not overwhelm me. In order to do that, I must continue to
Ever since I was a little girl, I have wanted to attend North Dakota State University. Both my sister and dad are NDSU alumni, so furthering my education where they did gives us something special we can share. Additionally, not many of my relatives attended college, allowing me to see the difficulties in providing for yourself and family without a college degree. Although I know the next seven years are going to be challenging, strenuous, and will push me to the edge of my comfort zone, the satisfaction of administering medical services to those who need them will make it all worth it. Not only will I be able to care for others with a Pharm. D., but my own opportunities will grow. Whenever I get discouraged during the coming years, my mantra will be “college is an investment in myself,” a reminder to keep working hard.
I want to go to college so I can learn and be prepared for the real world. College is a place where I can get a fresh start. I can be a better person by how I matured in high school and becoming the man I am. I can break out and be who I want to be because of some peer pressure I had in high school. I want to meet people that will be my friends for a long time. My Mom had a college friend over this weekend and they shared some stories with me and I want to be able to tell my kids stories with my best friend. College education will give me the opportunity to pursue and learn something that I love. College gives me the chance to have my own responsibilities. I want to show my parents that they raised a smart
Why Colorado Christian University In 1979 I enlisted in the US Navy. I was in college and wanted to complete my education. While in the Navy I always said to myself I will finish college someday. I got married and it seem that that goal will never happen. Years when by, then in 2000 I when back to school, worked hard and received my Associate degree in Accounting. Work at the County of Orangeburg as Purchasing Clerk for 9 years. The goal of getting a BS degree can up. But it was on the back burner again. I just did not had the time, coaching high school football, job, Church all was too much at that time. BY this time I had Kids in college, seem like the dream was over then. In 2011 I enroll at Colorado Technical College, for a year did not complete.
This year leading up to my first quarter at college has been filled with so much information, change, and learning. I believe the ultimate goal of going to college is to set yourself up for a bright future. Thanks to all the amazing seminars, presentations, and learning opportunities the Women Leader Forum provided to the Youth Women Leaders I believe I am on the right track. Thank you for allowing us to listen to such inspiring and successful women. As if that wasn't enough, you allowed us to learn firsthand from professional women leaders with a career that interests us. I was very fortunate to be given a mentor that was so willing to teach me and who worked in an office with other successful women who also served as mentors. Thank you for
I was born and raised in India. Moved to U.S to go to High School and since then living here in Seattle. I am currently student at University of Washington finishing up my Bachelors in Biology and Health Studies. Recently I decided to go to nursing program so therefore I am here at Cascadia finishing up my pre requisites. I grew up back home in India with my grandparents, uncles, and aunts while my parents were here in U.S. Most of my schooling was done in boarding school so I was very independent from the beginning. My love for travelling gave me opportunity to visit England and Dubai for several years before finally moving here with my parents.
As a lover of basketball from a young age, what originally attracted me to Syracuse was it’s standings in college basketball. As college began to approach I decided to look into the school which holds my favorite college basketball team. While exploring Syracuse I realized that the university has qualities that I look for as I embark on my undergraduate years as a young adult.
Teachers have told me about college since I was young. They explained that they can be some of the best or worst years of my life. They would tell stories about their professors and the courses they took. Yet, some people still see college as a useless transaction that mimics their previous twelve years of schooling - just something that they have to suffer through before they are allowed to be submerged in the adult world. Yet, to me, college is more than that. It’s this place that turns ambitions into realities and fills you with the experiences you need to succeed. While college is expensive and admittedly not for some, I see it as the gateway towards becoming the professional I am meant to be, because I can explore major issues, cultivate
When I was younger, for the life of me I couldn’t understand why money was so important. I can remember night after night when my parents would argue over money and stress about how they were going to make ends meet. They couldn’t agree on much of anything, but as I grew older, I was realized there was one thing they most definitely could agree on. They both wanted the very best for their only son. When I begin college next fall, I will be the first person in my immediate family line to go to college. I come from a place where hope is hard to find, and ambition and faith were the only things that could take you out of Lutcher, Louisiana. Unfortunately, my parents didn’t have the opportunities or the drive that I have for myself. So with that being said, I pride myself on going to college and being everything they’ve worked so hard to see me become. I have a mission, and with the help of God, my family, and College Raptor, I will complete that mission.
