I chose to attend West Hills College so that I will be close to home. A small college will be great because I believe it will continue to provide a strong sense of community. The aspect of a strong sense of community will work best because it offers a better opportunity of interacting with your college peer. Attending a small college come with many positive outcomes. One of the many positive outcomes it has is that you have the privilege to interact more with the instructor and the students that
For college I want to be able to branch out and get involved with as many activities that I can, I want to be able to make connections with people and have fun. I recently signed up for some new activities while at the activity fair and I hope to stick to them. In my time here I want to accomplish my academic goals as well as the goals I set for myself before I arrived. I want to experience college and not let it pass me by, you can’t gain these years back is the advice I have been getting a lot
Why are you interested in attending The Academy at Sauk Valley Community College? I am interested in attending The Academy at Sauk Valley Community College because I had already made plans to go to Sauk Valley Community College after attending high school. I was impressed with this program because it would be a great way for me to further my education and gain additional experience before I attend college full time. The Academy also benefits me because I would be able to receive my Associate degree
harsh punishments are inflicted in course polices that, “some students choose to not only be absent from class but to drop out of college” (434). This is something that I never knew. I understand that some students disdain being told what to do and like the autonomy to do whatever they wish, but having that feeling for something like college, it is disconcerting. College is something that you/someone pays for, they shouldn’t have to force you to come to class; isn’t that what you're paying for? To
In high school, I became accustomed to having every resource in one place and being sought out by certain programs; however in college this is not the case. There are so many resources, but the student must seek resources him/herself. Accordingly, I looked for various resources that will prove to be beneficial for me during my time here at UCLA. I visited the community programs office for my research on student groups and resource centers. I assumed that the panelist already gave all the information
The decision to attend college is not an easy one. If you are willing to choose this route, then it won’t be an easy path. In the end, it will be worth it to hear your name when you walk across the field to get your diploma. This path will better your life in the long run depending on whether or not you achieve greatness in college. You can’t start searching for a college unless you take the “SAT’ or the “ACT” because every college in America has to have those scores no matter what. To being the
I would not have a future if I continued living there. Now that I am in my senior year of high school, I am glad that I moved to Madera. Since I have moved, I realized that I do want to go to college and that I want to help other people. After high school, I plan on attending Napa Valley Community College. Before I take the EMT course, I will take the EMT- First Responder course they offer
school are often faced with the difficult decision of deciding where and if they should attend college. College does have its benefits but it is not for everyone while it may be the main goal for some graduates, not every student is interested. Seniors should be aware that college is not the only option after high school. Students usually stress out thinking about their future and finances, and although college will help a person gain more education and possibly more money in the future, not everyone
I am attending college, so that I will be able to learn more about my major and also to explore my options. While in high school, I had many reasons and people that motivated me to enroll into college, including my mom, my guidance counselors, and research on what I want to be later on in life. Although I was already going to apply for college, I heard a lot of good things about it from a few of my friends, on how college really makes you a stronger and more independent person. In the past few years
enhanced my ambition and pushed me to set bigger goals and higher aspirations. I currently plan on graduating from college with a major in chemical engineering and then working to contribute discoveries and improvements to scientific technology. Although my main goal of attending college is acquiring a college degree, I intend to do more educationally than just the bare minimum. When in college, not only do I plan on working to receive exceptional grades, but I also want to obtain as much knowledge as
