College : Where I Want To Go To College

Have you ever gone on a road trip and you 're driving through a loud, hectic city and then, BAM! You reach a quiet countryside surrounded by charming houses, and it seems so serene? You have just stepped foot in a small town. I personally prefer living in a small town rather than a big city because I am more comfortable with a smaller area. I come from a small town of about 6,000 people, and I have to say it is so much better than living in a big city (AreaVibes Inc.). Unique characteristics of a small town, a relaxed pace of life, and a safer environment are all reasons to live in a small town. The small town is home.

Living and growing up in a small town is better than doing so in a big city.

A primary similarity between Aristotle and Plato is that they were both Greek philosophers. Plato’s philosophy is based on dissatisfaction of the world. He believed that philosophy was a practice for death and dying. He believed that the aim of philosophy is to transcend our attachment to the physical world, including our bodies. In contract, Aristotle believed the aim of philosophy is to not escape or transcend the physical world, but to make sense of it and understand it.

The place where children grow is important for their future. The place has a lot of benefit for children. First, the big city has a good school for children. For example, if the children live in the big city, they will go private school or they can go wherever they want. The big city has experienced teachers, so the children may learn more right information. Moreover, the children have got easy transportation. The children learn to go somewhere without parents. For instance, when the children miss the bus, they have to run behind the bus, so they can learn to be punctual .If the children are lost, they have to use bus or taxi, so they may learn regular spend money. Finally, if the children grow in a big city, they'll have a good culture. For

I am a young college student, attending straight out of High School like my two older sisters. My mom finished High School but didn’t go to college for she was raising my oldest sister while her father removed himself from the picture. My dad did go to college but much later in life and graduated about three years ago. To me, my parents are strong and they have raised me and my siblings properly. My oldest owns her own store, my middle sister has a job in her degree, and I close to graduating with my degree. Though I am ready to graduate and be done with school I know I have so much more to learn. In the beginning I didn’t see myself going into Human Resources, in all honesty, I knew very little about this degree and what an individual does

When I first started looking at colleges I had no idea where I wanted to go. I had no clue how far I wanted to travel, no knowledge about any schools, and was still stuck in the realm of high school. I suppose that’s a lot of high school students, but unlike some students who had researched colleges their junior year, I hadn’t thought about where I wanted to attend. I started with the basics. What did I want to study? I looked into some schools for marine biology and looked to Florida in hopes of finding a school for marine biology as well. As I went further into the process I realized that I didn’t want to be too far from home, and I wanted to perhaps focus more on biology and environmental science. The first schools that I was interested in were Connecticut College, Skidmore College, and The University of New Hampshire.

By participating in the University of Madison College Access Program I'm hoping to achieve many wonderful memories, meet new people, and familiarize myself with the process of going to college, but also to take advantage of the program and retain useful information for later use in my academic career.

Stuck on what you want to do right after high school graduation? Join the military and find out who you want to be in life. Join the military and become disciplined with experience employers look for when hiring. Join the military and have a once in a lifetime opportunity to serve your country. The military will pay for your college if you still want to go to college. But there is the chance of being deployed to an enemy country. At least if you join the military you will earn a steady salary.

Living in a city offers many amenities and service that might very well not be available in a rural area. New York City for example, has terrible traffic. A typical commute of five miles can take between seven minutes and two hours in a car. One major advantage to a city, NYC in particular, is their flawless public transportation system. Taking the subway, the commute can be shortened to an average time of ten to fifteen minutes. Take out service is great as well. Imagine it is two o’clock AM, if someone were to wake up hungry, they could call their local takeout restaurant and more than likely, they would be open. Cities have so many grocers as well. Not only do cities have more conveniences, but they also offer more opportunity.

For some, college seems like a waste. They say it is “useless,” or a complete “waste of time.” But for me, that is not the case. College appeals to me for various reasons, including that it will prepare me for the real world. Attending college would be a huge honor for my family and myself, as I am a first generation student. My oldest sister did not graduate high school, and neither did my parents. They are so proud that my senior year of high school is coming to a close soon, and that I will be furthering my education. I also believe that going to college is crucial because there are things then that I will learn that I haven’t learned yet. I want to get the chance to meet new people. I want to be able to join new activities and get involved

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.

Last August, I took a trip with the youth group from my church to Washington, D.C. to visit the church there in our congregation. While I was there for seven days, I found many things there that were much better in the large city, and other things very odd. Going out in the city and finding out these things were very interesting to me since I live in a small town Kalona, Iowa, with a population around three-thousand people. After experiencing both, I can definitely say that both have their benefits and disadvantages. Personally, I still feel that living in a small town is better than living in a big city.

Although living in the city has many advantages there are some disadvantages too, the cost of the living is very high in the city, the city is always noisy, no fresh air and pure water. So it is hard to lead a healthy life. On other hand the village the undeveloped area for example, we cannot easily get many facilities the insufficient medical and education facilities, few opportunities to make money, little entertainment, no or little public transportation, also less facilities than a big city offers.

I am no different, or any better than anyone else, however, my unique life experiences have provided me with a profound level of understanding and acceptance. While I believe that our life experiences do not determine, or define who we are as individuals, I do believe that these experiences and the teachings they hold, sculpt who we become and the ways in which we approach life and interact with others). It is such experiences that allow us to create a deeper connection and profound understanding to the various pieces of life and the lives of others that often go unseen. It is for this reason, I am pursuing an (education?) in the masters of social work program, so that I may couple my experience with education to further my understanding of others and the tools necessary to support them, creating change, and re-sculpting the pieces that have…
