To many high school students, college seems like a far away land, a mysterious place where everyone wants to be yet not many know how to get there. As children, our parents tell us how much time we have to think about college, and that it is too far down the line to think about. The truth is it is never too early to think about your future. I, like many people, put little thought into my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear. Many of us tend to find out that we only know what we do not want, not what we actually do want. Do we want to be poor? Absolutely not. Do we want a boring job? Of course we don’t. We all want our

Since I started community college I’ve heard several dozen cases of people changing their major, changing their transfer college, or just changing their mind. I’m not likely to do any of that, I choose to use my time in high school deciding what I wanted to do and so far I am sticking to it without a doubt in my mind. I chose to go to community college, earn my Associate's in Business Administration, and transfer to James Madison University in the fall of 2018, graduate in 2020 with my Bachelor’s. I intend to get my Master’s either right after my Bachelor’s or within a few years of my career. I hope to have a job leaving JMU, my first accounting job of my career. I decided to major in accounting for a plethora of reasons, but not what most people expect.

An accomplished Alaska high school coach is taking the reins of the Lane Community College cross country program this fall. Those are just figurative reins, of course, unlike the literal reins Bill Steyer has held in the past as a competitive sled dog musher.

Community College of Philadelphia has added new board members to its Foundation, which raises private funds for the 50th Anniversary Scholars Program.

Since the time when I was little, my parents always encourage me to do the best, work hard, become educated and have a positive life style at a very young age. My earliest memories are that of reading interesting books because I love to read and do my science whiz experiments. However, I also had great interests in playing with Lego pieces and conducting fun chemistry games in my own tiny lab. It was a fun time for me; at least that’s how I recall it now. The only things I had to worry about were: what will I have for lunch today, which chemistry game or Lego pieces do I want to play with and my team winning the sports games I use to compete in.

I’ve always been interested in the field of medicine. When I was being born, I almost died, being saved only by the ingenuity of a Nurse Day for whom my middle name is dedicated to. Above all else, I want to have an impact on the quality of life for others, and I think the University of Pennsylvania is one of, if not the, best ways to do that. Its bioengineering department is consistently ranked to be the most rigorous in the field, and I can handle rigor.

If you live in Mason City, you have probably been to the North Iowa Area Community College, also known as NIACC. Mason City has a very interesting history, with the Music Man, the Park Inn hotel, and of course NIACC and many other places. But NIACC itself also has some interesting things to know about it. For example, did you know that it began as Mason City Junior College, or MCJC, in 1918? There are many more things that I can tell you about, but I will be focusing on how NIACC was created, NIACC’s locations, enrollment, courses and classes throughout the years, and sports.

Moving my whole life to the United States was a special challenge to me. I had to be familiar with life style, environment, education system, culture, and tradition which are different from my country Iraq. Before I moved to the United States, I spent three years in a university in Iraq; however, these years in the university did not help me to get to the college level in the United States. It was like I needed to start from zero. I did not give up because I have a goal to be a doctor. Therefore, I took ESOL classes, passed Texas Admission Test, and now I am in my Junior year.

Beginning college is like being reborn into the world. You begin your first day with a blank slate, and a thousand fears to go with it. Last year, I started my new life at Saginaw Valley State University. As a fresh graduate of New Lothrop High School, I had no idea what to expect from the world past the cornfields that used to surround me everyday at school. With a deep breath, I gathered everything I learned from my time at New Lothrop and jumped into my new world. My past lessons of leadership, responsibility and dedication prepared me for college, but I still have many more to learn.

Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to have a spectacular career, I wasn't sure which one I wanted, but I knew it had to be something I was in love with. As I got older I realized more and more that a college education would be the essential in accomplishing this goal. Many great careers require a high level college education, therefore getting this education early on will enable me to be successful.

I handled the metal nervously; nervously, my willful negligence deliciously tormenting me. A single bullet, and with it the power to exert my will upon whatever I wished. I had no need for a gun. I wouldn't have been permitted to own one even if I had needed to. The bullet was illicitly sourced from underneath the front porch of a friends old cabin. Though initially ordered by my parents not to keep it, their pleas went unheeded. Adrenaline coursed through my veins, filling my heart with artificial courage. Not once did the idiocy of actions cross my six year-old brain, why should it? With not a single being present on the neighborhood block besides myself, I prepared to let my naive curiosity get the better of me.

My college search did not start out on a good note. During my senior year of high school, I was at a difficult time in my life, and filling out college applications was not at the top of my list. I figured that it did not matter what school I went to, so long as I got an education. My older brother and sister attended James Madison University and they seemed happy so I decided to give it a shot. I turned in the applications for JMU with only hours to spare. I figured I had done my part and everything would move along smoothly after that. I did not discover the error of my ways until my first semester at JMU.

My application is unique because I will graduate in 4 years with a degree in Biology and Chemistry and I have yet to make a B in a course for either major. This is a fact that I am exceedingly proud of because it has taken an immense amount of dedication, sacrifice, and effort for me to accomplish this goal.

Growing up with scientist parents, I followed them around the world as they pursued their education and careers in scientific research. I was born in Shanghai, moved to Japan at the age of two and settled down in Seattle when I was seven. Having experienced these three different countries, I have seen the differences in ideologies and culture. These different perspectives have been all been crucial in my development of my own identity. I believe that these experiences in my early childhood have really enriched my passion and interests.
