I am reporter Jacob Busby and today is a a monumental day in the world of sports. Today is Sunday, February third 2013, also known as Superbowl XLVII. The New Orleans Super dome is filled with purple and red jerseys ready to support the Baltimore ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. I am ready for some football.

My passion for computers stems from when I was first introduced to the operating system known as Windows Vista. At this time I knew the bare minimum of how technology worked and my curiosity took over. With my laptop I entered into the labyrinth of the tech world. I learned and practiced various branches of the tech world, my main focuses being networking, operating systems, and programing.

When someone thinks about their mental life, some may think “I’m perfectly healthy” or “I don’t have mental problems”. Yet, for others, they may think “Yeah I have some mental issues” or “Yeah, I get nervous from time to time”. For me, anxiety has always been a problem of mine. I can’t even begin to describe how many times it has gotten in the way of me trying to enjoy an event, or spending time with family, because my mind is constantly racing. I’ve struggled with anxiety since I was a kid. Not only do I struggle with it, but members of my family do also. I believe that I may have gotten my anxiety from my family but it’s always been something I didn’t talk about.

The salem witch trials is a good example of the use of the death penalty. In the late 1600s' people who didn't confess to practicing the crime of witchcraft were executed. The salem witch trials is very much like our death penalty today, if you commit a bad enough crime you get the death penalty. The death penalty should be banned because it's too expensive, innocent people may be executed and its cruel and unusual.

I am studying marketing here at the University of Florida because I am interested in the buying and selling of goods/services. I find things like television ads, target customers, different brand logos, and commercials very interesting. Jimmy Johns for example, has really funny ads on the television and radio that market there product. Companies like Southwestern Advantage sell educational systems door to door. I think that is a very interesting way to market their product. I know that I am not into finance or accounting but at this point in time marketing is my best option. If I ever change my major it would become Economics or Sociology.

I’ve spent the last thirteen years of my life enrolled in the Chelsea Public School System, with six years in elementary, three in middle, and 4 in high school. A different range of emotions hits me as I realise it has finally come to be the time in my life where I must think about how I’m going to spend the rest of my life. I have grown and learned very much from my experiences here at CHHS, but I really do think it’s time to move on. I now must learn how to be independent and live on my own, pay taxes and learn how to cook something other than microwave pizza(eventually). Despite everything tiny little voice screaming in my head about the unforeseeable future, I intend to make the best of my time here on Earth by pursuing a Masters Degree

I am a southern bred leader, pursuer, and helper whos mission is to spread peace, love, unity, and respect among many to create a world of cheerfulness and brotherhood. I am Austin William Carricoand this is my story. All my life I have lived in the small town of Crestview and grew up among the wilderness along with its inhabitants. As the town grew exponentially into a vast city, my heart, my mind, and my soul grew with it, learning the ways to help others and slowly turning from a boy to the young man I am today. I now attend Collegiate High School continuing my journey at the ripe age of fifteen, still promoting peace as a mission for others even when I left my former school, Niceville High.

My eighth grade year I slowly became someone I never wanted to be, and I didn’t even realize it. I became a deceitful liar. Constantly lying that much made me physically ill, every single day I could feel a huge pit in my stomach that devoured more of me. Every single day. I eventually got in trouble and got my phone taken away. Right now you are probably saying why is this stupid girl telling use these things about herself, doesn’t she want this? Well, it is relevant I promise. When I got my phone back the first thing I did was deleted all my social media, decided to focus on school, and joined Volunteer Club at my high school. In school, I pushed myself to get all my work done, and have I have gotten all A’s my entire career. Volunteer Club

Goals come in all shapes and sizes because each and every person has different achievements they’d like to reach for. I am unique and have a set of aspirations from as simple as reading at least thirty minutes a day to as vast as changing the way the world sees people. The next twelve years of my life will be dedicated to my education and to my community. The way I perceive humanity is that everyone has something they need to talk about, but due to lack of self-esteem and confidence they choose not to speak. As a citizen in my community I feel that I have a voice and it’s a deep desire to help others.

I would love for the Admissions Committee to reconsider their decision because I feel that if I get accepted to Purdue University, I will be able to give back to the community/campus. My biggest goals for that would be able to join a fraternity and have connections of people in Purdue and commit myself to the fraternity. I would also love to be able to join groups or a club on or about helping one another. I am a person who loves to donate their time for people who need it most. Throughout my high school an some of my college year(s), I have gone to food pantries, food donations, and community work to help the homeless and hungry in downtown Indianapolis.

After I graduate I am taking the summer off to have some quality time with my family before they help me haul myself up to upper peninsula Michigan. I am going to start college next spring at Lake Superior State University. The plan currently is to get a degree in computer engineering with an emphasis in robotics. While I do that I want to participate in local choirs and dance groups. Once graduated I want to embark on a career that will utilize all of my passions.

Everyone has to make choices in their life. Some are everyday choices, like what to eat or drink. Others are more critical, like choosing a job. Important decisions take time to comprehend. Like with me, the decision to go to college was the most critical choice in my life and for my future, and I will never regret it. Going to college is important because it helps me find a job, it expands my knowledge, and it is a wonderful experience.

I am a first-generation, low income undergraduate from rural Iowa who aspires to a career in teaching and research in policy, international studies, and foreign relations; all of which coincide with the aim of this program. I know that research experience as an undergraduate is extremely important when it comes to preparing for graduate study; however, my home university is not a research institution and opportunities here are limited. A fellowship at the University of North Texas would present me the opportunity to engage in concentrated research and help me prepare for my doctoral studies. I am an Honors student and McNair scholar, double majoring in Political Science and Public Administration. As such, I have learned to take skills from different areas and apply them to unique issues.

If someone asked me where I am going to be in ten years, this would be my answer. I will have a great, high-paying job, and beautiful wife and family, and a nice sports car parked in front of my lovely house. When I look into the future, I see myself being successful and happy. Even though I always pictured myself this way, I never worried too much about how I would get there. I feel the Suffolk University can lay the groundwork for making these dreams into reality.
