Through the education that I would receive at Indiana I hope to win a job in a full-time orchestra in either the 3rd horn or Principal horn seat with an adjunct teaching job at a local school. At Indiana I am interested in taking part in their performing ensembles, in fact, I want to collaborate with my fellow horn players to create a horn choir that plays 21st century music as well as the traditional classical pieces. Besides my musical endeavors I hope to take part in the Undergraduate Mock Trial club to compete against other schools while doing something different that I would in my musical studies. Through my whole life my dad has had mesothelioma on and off. Towards the end of my sophomore year it came back; however, this time be elected
The first word that comes to my mind when I think of Rutgers University is the place of opportunities. Variety of successful people with good experience are being a member of this society would be full of blessing and beneficial privilege. As a future Rutgers student as I wish , I am sure I will be able to combine my strength , patience and thinking level with the high level of education in Rutgers . I am proud to say I came from Egypt ; the country of great culture and intelligent scientists and mathematician. I also was picked to join the national honor society in my school as I have the highest GPA. I believe that I can truly express my individuality at this university, and hope to bring something new like I did in my high school and in
I felt anxious about attending RU. Now that I have been here a week I am feeling motivated. Living close to campus gives me the ability to be completely immersed in the college lifestle, therefore, allowing me to have the chance to join various clubs and the chance to use the many resources that will advance my academic career. Being able to join a club here at Rutgers will help me be able to feel like a Rutgers student. The amount of opportunities this school has is endless, and I plan on taking full advantage of such benefits.
When I think about what I could contribute to Florida A&M University based on the knowledge that I do have with your institution is that i’m a extremely committed student who has beliefs that you can do anything that you set your mind to. There may be some times when I may feel discouraged but why must if I feel like that if things aren’t easily handed to you. You must chase your dreams, and when you do that things will slowly fall into place (not exactly how you planned for it to be at times). I learned that through the many obstacles I had to experience to make me the well informed women I am today. The best activity, interest, experience, and achievement in my life was being a Big member of “Big brother, big sister”. Becoming a mentor for
As I sat on the couch getting ready for the first day back at school, I heard the phone in the kitchen ring. I stood up to go answer it and I heard loud footsteps coming down the stairs. My mother was running down the stairs to answer it just in case it was one of her work calls. I noticed that her voice started to crack as if she was going to cry and the smile that she once had on her face had disappeared. The person on the other end of the phone was my Uncle Dylan from California calling to let us know that Aunt Liz had died in a car wreck. We were so devastated but little did we know she left me $12k. A couple days later I received a letter in the mail saying that I had to use it to help pay for my tuition. I am looking to attend the nursing program at Lindenwood, Missouri State, or St. Louis University.
Working on campus in an influential department, such as the undergraduate admissions office at Sam Houston State University, can present a multitude of opportunities to engage personably with prospective students from all walks of life. Like any other ordinary day in the admissions office, I respond to phone, walk-in and email inquiries related to SHSU’s admissions procedures and policies for prospective students. Unbeknown to me, however, this “ordinary day” would be an office visit that I would never forget. I recall meeting a remarkable freshman who had an aspiration to become an attorney and was interested in majoring in political science, but had some reservations. The student explained that at the age of sixteen he was diagnosed with
To start, I am a 22-year old rising sophomore at Winston-Salem State University from High Point, NC. I went to Thomasville Senior High and I loved it. I was the class president my sophomore and junior years, and also won top English student award sophomore year. I was chosen to have a success picture taken and post on the school wall and it is still there today.
During my visit to Arizona State University this summer, I was able to receive a unique tour of the campus thanks to current students, Claire and Maddie Grayson. The two sisters granted special access into some student-only buildings, and provided a great amount of information about the campus as well. Maddie, Claire, and Glenn Markov, a former ASU student and now current Stanford attendee, were also able to answer any questions that that I had regarding ASU.
My first experience on Trinity’s campus was participating in the Leadership Greater Hartford Summer Nexus program during the summer of my junior year. I spent a week at Trinity’s Multicultural Office discussing diversity and inclusion topics with my peers, expanding my leadership skills and organizing a fundraiser for Jonathan’s Dream Playground. After spending time on Trinity’s campus, I had a natural curiosity to learn more about the college’s academic rigor and commitment to diversity and inclusion. During college fairs, I spoke with Trinity representatives about my Summer Nexus leadership experience and they informed about the Preview Weekend.
Obviously, there are many students out there who are very deserving of being accepted into Loyola University Chicago. To be honest, I am probably very similar to them with academics, extracurriculars, and all other good stuff that high schoolers do. However, I do know for a fact that I truly do belong at LUC. Looking at the different missions and values that this university stands for is quite inspiring, as I strive for the same for myself and the future. I used to be very close-minded and selfish, but when I started freshman year at a new high school, everything changed. I did not have much other than my academics and family, so I was like a recluse. I only went out for school, but when I got involved in a local service group called the International
In 2015 I received a call from someone claiming to be my Resident Assistant. She became the sister I never had and the mentor I always needed. Watching her interact with residents inspired me to become one. I am a very social person and I aspire to help ensure that students have a wonderful experience at Lamar University.
I was in my junior year of High school in a new school and country. I had just moved from Jamaica about 4 months ago and still trying to adjust to my new environment. There was a stark contrast between Jamaica and The USA: socially and academically. In Jamaica, high school lasted from grades seven through eleven and included Pre-University which was grades twelve and thirteen In grades 10-11 the number of subjects I did per day decreased from seventeen to eight and the workload for each subject increased drastically in preparation for a test at the end of grade 11 called CSEC. On the other hand in America, high school only lasted for grades 9-12, I only had to do 4 subjects per week, and there was no such thing as CSEC. Jamaica also had a terrible economy and even a college graduate had a hard time finding a job.
The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point has been an element of my life for the better part of elevens years. Remembering visits to my cousin's apartment were sometimes the highlight of the month. When my brother made the decision to attend UW-Stevens Point I was thrilled because of memories I knew I would get to relive. These two people have been a major factor in my life because they are the first of my generation in the family to graduate from college. The hard work put in from these two has given me a better understanding of what it takes to get through higher. Many people go to college for the experience you will be able to get and not the academic advancement opportunities. This is exactly why my family members have succeeded in this
Last summer I had the incredible opportunity to spend three weeks at Valparaiso University for the Summer Global Leadership Institute(SGLI). This international program, which was only about 2 hours away from my home, also recruited students from China, South Korea, and Ghana. I met different people from around the world who had customs and traditions that were different from what I was used to. My roommate, Michelle, was born and raised in Ghana until high school. We had a lot of similarities, such as our aspiration to become nurses, and the fact that we both missed being home with our families, but we had a lot more differences. Although everyone was different, it was easier and more interesting to learn about one another. Michelle taught
I found out about Boston University through the Naviance service, when I was in 10th grade and beginning my search into colleges. Personally, I have always been interested in the fields of politics and international relations, finding a deep concern for the decisions taken by government officials, which establishes the policies that address certain issues, and how these have affected and continue to affect the world in myriad of ways. As I looked further into Boston University, I found out about the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, and that led me to grow very attached to the thought of applying to BU. From the start of my college search, I knew that I had my heart set on applying, not only because it is excellent in what I am
I have had many experiences that have taught me valuable lessons and changed my point of view while attending George Washington University. During my first semester, I have had the opportunity to trust student-written professor reviews, learn my professor, learn myself, and answer intriguing questions. Throughout my first semester at GW, I have had a collection of positive and negative occurrences that I have since attempted to study and analyze. From colonial inauguration to taking tests, college has been a journey that has ebbed and flowed.
