The feeling of uncertainty is an unpleasant emotion that can terrify an individual. It can make you feel empty and lost, and scare you to hide, never wanting to be found. It is an emotion that constantly overwhelmed me in the months following my decision to take a year off from school. I was naïve to believe taking a year off from school was the answer to my problems. I assumed the concept of “time” would help me gradually solve my concerns for my future career. But as a matter of fact, I became more hesitant and confused as time passed along. I began questioning myself more on the matter. It seemed like a never-ending cycle.
However, taking a year off from school had it up-sides. I got to experience, firsthand, how it felt to live in the real world. I got a job as a sale associate and soon learned the responsibility of working. Every day, I was responsible for waking up early, dressing appropriately, arriving on time, helping customers and working diligently. Working allowed me to reinforce my knowledge of responsibility, improve my communication skills, mature, and grow mentally stronger for when the time

With an education in Rutgers, I’m confident, that along the way, it’ll help to discover my potential by allowing me to have a better understanding of myself and career path I wish to pursue in life. Then, I would no longer have the need to feel uncertain and anxious any more. Also, from studying in such a vast campus with such a diverse student body, extracurricular activities, and clubs, I’ll give me the opportunity to engage with other students and form friendships with the most unsuspected people in the most unexpected places, similar to my experience at work with Carlos. Hence, Rutgers’s noteworthy education system and unlimited programs providing an endless possibility for my unforeseeable
Have you ever found yourself in the same schedule? Repeating almost the same day over and over. Students with traditional scheduled schooling have to go 70 plus days before just a short break. If we had year-round schooling the most we would have to go to school before a break is 45 days. Plus students would be able to advance more quickly, teachers would be happier, and our school would have a higher grade point average. This is why year-round schooling could help the staff and students of linden schools.
It is without a doubt, attending Rutgers University brings prestige to your name, and distinguishes you from the competition. With over two hundred and fifty years of rich history, Rutgers has been proudly represented by alumni as they continue into their career paths. Dating back to 1766 when Rutgers was first established, notable Rutgers alumni through the years have ranged from politicians such as Elizabeth Warren or Chris Christie to businessmen like David Stern, or even athletes such as Carli Lloyd. It is without a doubt, that Rutgers provides exceptional education as seen through what these alumni have been able to achieve. It is due to the combination of history and high level of education that I believe will help me achieve my career goals.
As Ernie Harwell once quoted: “It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure.” This quote sums up the feelings that come to mind as I fill out this application to transfer to Rutgers New Brunswick. My experience so far at Rutgers has taught me a lot about myself, and the people around me. It taught me that I am a part of a bigger picture, and each of us as individuals have a huge impact on the society around us. However, I have come to peace that it is time to move on from the Newark campus and pursue my degree at Rutgers New Brunswick School of Arts and Sciences. New Brunswick would be a more logical option for my studies due to a shorter commute from home, and a better computer science program.
I am determined to pursue a degree on mathematics, specifically, discrete mathematics. For discrete math and combinatorics and a range of allied fields, Rutgers is one of a small number of best institutions in the world (not just the U.S.). Since that is my main interest at this time, why do I want to transfer away from such a world center of discrete math?
During the summer, I interned for Rutgers University in their Grant and Contracting department. Going into this internship I didn’t know what to expect. I knew Rutgers was a very large University located in new Jersey which has multiple campuses located in New Brunswick, Camden and Newark. Rutgers is a state university of New Jersey and they recently joined the Big Ten for sporting affiliations. Their mascot is the Scarlet Knight. Since I live in New Jersey, I thought I knew a good amount about Rutgers, I was wrong. This internship has taught me so many different things about Rutgers, grants and contracting and the accounting process.
School has been around for a long time and has changed a lot. School was probably different for your ancestors, and what we know today is different than what it used to be. Some changes are good, and some are not,People across the country have different opinions about whether their school should switch to year-round school or not. Florida should not switch to year-round school because it makes it harder to plan sports activities or vacations, and students can’t concentrate as much at school with so many breaks in the way. Although year-round school offers more time for learning more and less reviewing, there are many more benefits from the original school schedule.
Year round schooling may sound scary but read this and I might change your mind. Year round school is pretty much what is sounds like, except it is the same amount of school days as a regular year, and it has more spread out breaks. Year round school would be beneficial because it consist of less review due to “summer slide”, more “family time”, and longer more spread out breaks.
Rutgers education will help me achieve my career goals or my personal enrichments by taking the courses they have offered and many extracurricular activities like business clubs. The courses they have offered are..This education help me achieve my goal by learning how to use the tools they offer or the professor’s experience will help pass on to their students like me to help prepare us in the real world.
A Rutgers education will not only allow me to grow as a college student but as a person overall. Graduating from Rutgers will hold a greater value in the outside world when I apply for jobs as this university has many well-known schools like the Business School or the School or Arts and Sciences. Since Rutgers is well known for their programs, this would allow me to be able to excel in my major of choice and be able to take different classes that would allow for my knowledge to grow more than it would at Rowan University. The classes that Rutgers will offer compared to Rowan would challenge me to work harder and push my limits in order for me to grow and succeed as a person. Having a Rutgers education will help my career goals because while I am there, I will have many opportunities to join clubs and organizations that interest me. Since I plan on
As a research university, I have the chance to explore the vast topics of computer science and perhaps, find out my niche in all those available fields. I also would like to enjoy the benefit of the Aresty Research Center to have a hands-on experience on researching in computer science-related fields to enhance my knowledge in my major. Other than the research opportunities for undergraduates, Rutgers has places like the Caves where I can interact and make relationships with people with similar interest and goals. I hope to learn a lot and expand my programming skills and to make new friends who can help out when I need help. In additions to all these wonderful things, Rutgers also has computer science-oriented events like Hack RU where I can also meet other computer science students and practice and hone my programming skills. This would be an excellent opportunity to grow my communication skills as well as
school. Some people might consider a year round school, some people might not consider a year round school. In year round schools you spend the exact same days as normal
I think it's funny that the subject of year-round school is still a topic of debate. The reason is I just want to have good teachers and get a good education. I really don't care when and how the schedule is set up because I know my mom and dad will support me and get me to where and when I need to be. But, if I had a choice I would choose to have a schedule similar to what Nick Castellino writes about in his letter. I feel that of the two letters Nick wrote the one I agreed with more. Nick's letter, seemed to me, to be mainly about doing away with year-round school.
Schools around the U.S. are switching to a calendar called year-round school. Kids in year-round schools go to school from six to nine weeks without breaks and a two-to-four week break. There has been a debate on whether Florida should go to year-round or not. Florida should go to year-round school because there is less teacher and student burnout, and teachers would have to spend less time reviewing material that would be lost over summer break. Regular schools give teachers an advantage because it allows teachers more time to prepare for the next school year and finalize grades, but Florida should go to year-round school because the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
Year long school is it a bad thing or good thing. It can affect a kids state of mind. It can ruin the way that they think. I for one think year long school is a good thing cause kids are able to get a better fit education for them. But it could also be a bad thing depending on how people look at it because kids won’t have a ton of free time for activities like having a job or hobbies. Shorter breaks could also cause behavioral problems if kids aren’t able to spend enough time with their families could cause some issues in the state of mind. In all honesty I for one think it’s a good thing cause it helps kids remember everything, easier to plan vacations, and can improve test scores.
Struggling throughout the process of discovering myself and becoming whom I want to be. Setting aside a plan to be successful in all I want to do, time takes on a major role. Embarking on this school and work process as a nontraditional student having no stability. Without any stability stressing may occur and
