Why I Want To Pursue A Degree In Higher Education

What motivated me to enroll at GCU and strive for a higher education happened to be a truly inspirational story. I, was searching for schools to attend, looking for months in advance I finally found a school that I assumed was “perfect” except I happened to be too late to enroll. So, as I kept going down the line literally every school I wanted to go to, I was too late so I thought to myself why did you wait so long you might have been in school by now. So, I continued to search however, I experienced no luck. After countless days and nights of searching I was about to give up when, my sister who previously went to GCU called, on the verge of tears I told her how I desperately wanted to higher my education, although it seemed as if the world didn’t want me too. She said three words that I’ll remember for the rest of my

Making the decision to not attend the University of Massachusetts Amherst during the Fall of 2015 was one of the most difficult decisions I have had to make. When I came to the realization that I wanted to be a nurse I was too far along in the college process that It was too late for me to re-apply. I could not transfer into the program, as the Umass Nursing program only accepts Freshman Applicants. I had to bite the bullet, I was to attend college in the fall with my close friends and compatriots and study something I had no drive or passion for, or I was to withdraw my application and remove myself from the safety and certainty of a good education and future. This decision would mark the passage into adulthood, something I would not yet know until I had made the tough choice.

In a few months I will be starting my future before I know it. Once I walk off the stage of high school graduation in june 2018 I am going to study what I have been wanting to do for over 6 years which is to study personal finance at a four year school. What had made me consider this as a career is when I was helping my dad out on a job for his heating and cooling business and we had done a sheriff's house and the officer had given me advice on taking finance in college instead of criminal justice. As I had talked to more cops as time went on more and more had told me that criminal justice is not the best degree to be a cop, more that 80% have said that the police department would rather hire someone with a degree in business or a degree related

“Wow! Is this really happening to me?” Is the first thing that would be running through my head as I process the fact that I have won the lottery. Not only will I be completely stress free from thinking of having to be in college debt, but this life changing experience will keep me motivated to continue gaining more knowledge during my upcoming four years. I believe education is an important key for success in my future and the last thing I would want to stress on is the amount of money I will need to pay off for however long I decide to exceed on my education.

I am interested in South Dakota School of Mines and Technology because I my parents went to SDSMT, and they always spoke highly of it, and I have seen that it is a fairly well known engineering school.

Deciding on what I wanted to pursue in college was an uphill battle. For years I was set on myself becoming a teacher, but as the end of high school creeped closer and closer, I started to doubt my choice of career. Although my love for children was still prominent, I found myself intrigued by social issues more then anything else. I felt the need to somehow use my existence to help assist in reaching the solution to these pressing problems. This realization is what eventually led me to my educational goals. Firstly I plan to obtain an Associates degree in Communication from Montgomery College. After that I want to transfer to American University to get a Bachelors in Public Relations and a minor in Public Administration and Public Policy.

I was born and educated in the urban slums of Trenton, NJ where as a young gay male living in an eventful neighborhood, exposed me to a variety of extreme circumstances that I frequently had to separate myself from due to the consequences I knew were awaiting. I occasionally reminisce about my days as an adolescent engaging in a variety of activities that kept me actively busy whether it was physical, educational or spiritual. I played sports, attended academic programs consistently and went to church. My mother believed that if I was busy with extracurricular activities that I couldn’t be ensnared into my surroundings due to the fact that I was never physically available for any mishaps or possibilities to occur. A few things I enjoyed in

I have several reasons to be motivated to pursue my college degree. 1. I will be the only one in my family to ever go to college and to graduate as well. 2. I want to provide my family a life they deserve. 3. I want to get out of financial trouble that I have put myself due to past decisions I made. 4. My son Justin seeing me going to school makes Him excited because we both are going to school and we both will have home work.

One of the most significant challenges I have faced is the difficulties my culture has places on the want to continue my education. The culture of my family and also the culture of the area where I had lived for most of my education did not encourage students to obtain a higher education, rather they would encourage students to go into the workforce and start a family soon after graduation. Even the high school would encourage the students by trying to enroll you in courses about manufacturing and production, they also gave a heavy focus to enrolment in the military Many graduating seniors did not have plans of continuing their education rather many of them went directly into work with one of the factories inside of our town or joined the

I graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2014 with my Bachelors of Science in Criminal Justice. I decided I wanted to broaden my career opportunities by obtaining my Associates in Paralegal studies. Since I already have a Bachelor’s degree, I am unable to receive any more grants and I am almost at the max for student loans. Also, I could pay for last semester because of parental contributions and a full-time job, but I no longer have that job and my parents are unable to contribute this year. A scholarship would really help with paying for tuition, fees, and books and would significantly lighten the financial burden I am currently experiencing. In addition, because I am paying out of pocket I cannot afford to take as many

Motivation: How to take the real life experience of working with people with special needs and empowering One of my greatest desires is to not only motivate myself, but to be inspired to move to level of understanding that has purpose. This key component for me it to be intentional in not only my personal life but also in the career that will give me more meaning and with skills. My one greatest desire is to seek how to achieve critical thinking skills that gives more meaning to the world of education. Seeking my degree will not only propel me in ways that will give me the tools. A positive impact on not only my life but my two grandchildren that need to see in action. “Never give up Five minutes before the miracle happens.”

When college started, I didn’t know anything about how life was going to be or how much work I would have to put in, but I think I’ve progressed a great deal towards being the person and professional I want to be since then. There are many things I’ve learned since the beginning of college like programming and handling responsibility. This has been a short semester, but I’ve come a long way in my life.

Throughout my life I have noticed the increasing importance of a college degree. Without knowledge or the luck of being born into wealthy/famous family, I would get nowhere and face the same struggles as my parents and many other Americans. Furthermore, my willpower, determination, and want of knowledge have led down this path. I am furthering my education to one day become a person that can heal the wounds of others while making them to be more accepting of others.

I am Darrell Jackson and I am 16 years old. I want to go to college at Oakland University or Saginaw Valley State university. I want to get a degree or engineering.This essay will explain my goals and what I plan to do in the future.

There are many reasons why I would like to obtain a graduate degree. First of all, I want to better myself. I currently could not have obtained my current job if I had not received my Bachelor’s degree from Bethel. The degree has opened so many doors for me in the past few years. I unfortunately got started with college later in life; however, it has been one of the best things I have ever done. After I graduated high school, I was done with school. I didn’t want any part of it. I got married way too young and felt like I would never need a higher education. Plus, I did not have a good support system and did not feel empowered to set any goals for myself. I was told I would never make anything of myself. As I grew older and my marriage crumbled, I realized the only way for me to further my career would be to finally obtain a degree. With a new support system and someone telling me there’s nothing I could not do, I decided to enroll in Bethel. One of the best decisions I ever made. The feeling of accomplishment and knowing that I myself, was able to earn a degree.
