Attending UPenn would be a monumental step in shaping my future and solidifying the goals I have set for myself. Becoming a veterinarian is a dream of mine and I believe attending UPenn would erase any of my doubts of becoming one or it will guide me to new career path in life. Its flexible and broad curriculum, welcoming and diverse social community, and intellectually and academically challenging classes will all benefit me into becoming an educated and open minded adult. First and foremost, I would like to join CURF. I have been working in a zooarchaeology lab in Brooklyn college analyzing how climate change has affected the the diet and lifestyle of the Saladoid people in Barbuda, Caribbean circa. 400-600 AD for the past year and a half. The professional and and intellectually curious environment of a lab is very …show more content…
A course I would like to take part in would be Asian American Communities. As an Asian American, I have grown up watching society constantly degrade my people into stereotypes and I have also learned how white American society has treated people of Asian origin throughout history. It is definitely a class that will teach me about the importance of my identity and how Asian American communities have thrived in this melting pot called America. In the midst of my rigorous class schedule, I would like to join clubs in UPenn as well where I can interact with like minded people with similar interests and beliefs as me. Groups I am considering to join are the Penn Pre-Veterinary Club and Penn Animal Advocacy. I have a soft spot for animals in my heart and I deeply believe it is a duty of the human race to take part in aiding misfortunate animals and raise awareness of the suffering we have done to them. The Penn Pre-Veterinary Club will also help me in pursuing a career in the animal
This class has really opened up my eyes to many new views and opinions toward certain information and assumptions. Before taking this class I did not believe I was racist or had any downward views towards any people or cultural. This soon came to my attention that everyone has a little bit of racist in them no matter how hard you try not to be. I also thought that Columbus discovered America, I found it very interesting and almost common sense when we discussed this issue and how the school curriculum has been lying to students in a sense about the discovery of America. The finial bias I soon came to see was that no matter how much you think you will not face other cultures or other religions in schools that you are not familiar with your chances are very slim. No matter where you plan to teach at their will always be situations that you are unfamiliar with.
With America growing at the rate it is, it is very important to grow with it. College is the best way to prepare someone to be out in the workforce and survive. Going to college is not essential for success, but it will give someone the extra skills that will help them in their career and in life. College helps people get a good job, prepares them for adult life, and will help them make more money.
I am currently a 12th-grade student at Dunlap Leadership Academy. I have a great interest in wildlife and would like to pursue a career in that field. I would like to attend Reedley Community College after I graduate, before transferring to a university. Previously, I volunteered at the local animal shelter, where I gave the animals food, cleaned the cages and looked after them. I have also spent time volunteering at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo. I believe my past experience will help me succeed at the Oak Brook Wildlife Center.
I am currently a member of the Psi Chi Honor Society, an international psychology honor society, and recently joined FIU’s chapter of the co-ed premedical fraternity, Phi Delta Epsilon. These organizations allow me to participate in events and activities geared towards academic excellence and community service in science, values that I believe are fundamental not only to a career in medicine but to being a great student here at FIU. I was also given the opportunity to become involved with Peer-Led Team Learning, a program that works closely with the Biology department, where I served as a leader for several semesters and intend to continue to do so when my course load allows for it once again. In addition, I volunteer as a research assistant for the Child Narratives Lab in FIU’s Psychology department gaining hands-on experience with conducting studies and interacting with children in a research setting. Finally, I am a work-study in the Financial Aid department. As it stands, I am deeply involved with many different aspects of FIU and I only hope to do more in the future. My fraternity has offered opportunities for leadership that I hope to take advantage of such as positions in Student Government. I also have plans to apply for a role on the Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution’s Student Conduct Committee to be more active in the campus
I am only involved in Chemistry Club this semester, so next semester I plan to get involved in a couple more clubs and organizations. I am going to accomplish this by going on Washburn’s site, finding an organization or club that looks interesting to me, and going to the meetings at the beginning of the semester to see if it is something I want to
College can be very helpful in more ways than just giving people more head knowledge. I do not disagree that people will benefit from learning a trade skill. In my personal opinion I think we should teach the basics of some trade skills in high school, and let the student decide if a college education is something they want to pursue. After coming to a college I do see that people should come even if it is for two years. The debt is always in issue when coming to school, but there are plans you can make to pay them off. Coming to college can do a lot to help anyone, but for the students that are coming right out of high school, college can be a safe place for them to experience the real world. In some cases it can give them some much needed
The most interesting class that I have taken would have to be my Developmental Psychology class. This class looked at all the different phases through human development. It was fascinating to see and understand the cognitive development every person goes through. It also looked at scenarios where a child was deprived of elements that are critical in their cognitive development. The course that I took began with the fetal development and continued until death. It also talked about how some may grieve the loss of loved ones and how to respond and help them get through those tough times.
Going to college is very important to because it extends my education giving me a better chance of achieving my goal, of getting my computer science degree.Well for the most part I believe that college will open up many doors and provide opportunities that I wouldn't be able to get with a high school education. Lately it has become increasingly hard to obtain a well paid job without a college degree. Why is this? Well employers are more likely to choose a college graduate for the job instead of the high school graduate, because of their more extensive learning experience. More than likely people that don't continue to college end up working in ether in a fast food joint or outside in a back breaking job. Both jobs which I wouldn't like to

Coming to college has shown me information and knowledge I never thought I was capable of learning and it will be knowledge I will use for the rest of my life. I came to college last year for my own personal growth and to expand my horizons. I thought about what I wanted to do after high school and continuing my education was number one on my list. I’m here simply to better my future, expand my knowledge, increase my potential, and learn more about myself. I want to make my family and myself proud by completing college and getting a degree. Bettering my future and making sure I have the information to be able to do my future career is my top priority because it’s the only thing I have continually been working for since the 9th grade. Expanding my knowledge in these courses that will soon get me to the school I need to be at is a compelling reason for me to stay motivated enough to wake up in the morning and push myself to come to school. I hope to increase my potential and develop into
Coming to college is a monumental thing for me and having the opportunity to go to the College of Design is equally as big and frightening. I am excited and ready to start the school year and to learn all that I can during my studio classes but I am worried about the time commitment it entails. I see this as a challenge though. A challenge I’m willing to go through. I would say this is my biggest concern about the College of Design but not my only one. I have seen examples of older student’s work and seen how they have improved tremendously and although that fills me with awe and ease, I still feel a sense of worry because it takes me a small amount of time to pick up new methods of learning.
Since I was little I dreamed of going to college and become a nurse. Education is important to me because none of my family members had gone to college, and if I go it will be a family accomplishment and but also a personal one whereas helping people in need is one of the things I like the most. Besides, as a first generation going to college I will be an example to my younger siblings. I will be able to show them that if we work hard and commit to our dreams, we will accomplish them. I am planning to enroll full time in college and join clubs aligned with my degree. When I came to the United States the unknown of the English language was a challenge I had to overcome. However, it did not stop me to pursue my education, I started to create
Going to UPenn, I would immerse myself in the large variety of academic courses and extracurricular opportunities they offer. UPenn not only has a multitude of courses that interest me, but a large range of extracurriculars that I am already in that I would like to further pursue.
The one class that I did not like would have to be Race, Class, and Gender with Dr. Rodgers. When we talked about gender in class, we learned about the way that society sees men and how they have to be masculine in order to be considered men. And how women have to be quiet, venerable, and look seductive. We also talked about how the media plays a major role in the stereotypes that people are influenced by. At my internship, the students are trying to "fit in" and "play the role" that society says they have to play, and they are getting in trouble for it.
I’ve been pondering the fields of microbiology, immunology, biomedical sciences, and epigenetics. I know this university is key in enabling me to study a wide variety of majors in the biology
