My main goal while attending Baylor would be to achieve the best education possible and improve myself as a person, as well as grow stronger in my faith. I am looking to become a Pre-Nursing student and I have heard that Baylor contains one of the best medical programs in this area, prompting it to be on the top of my list of potential colleges. One of the main reasons i was drawn to Baylor is it’s strong Baptist roots. I am a strong Christian and I strive to be the salt and light of the world, as Jesus called us to be. I see great potential for Baylor to help me grow in my faith while also preparing me for my future career. Another factor in my desire to go to Baylor is the fact that my mother’s side of the family has strong ties to the …show more content…
I visited in March of this year and I was thoroughly impressed with the work that goes into maintaining the appearance of the campus. Although the weather was dreary the day I visited, I fell in love with Baylor as soon as I stepped foot there. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing that there is a Starbuck in the medical building. My family and I walked around, admiring the exquisite architecture and beautiful trees. After our tour we visited a member of my family that lives nearby, my Great Aunt Jean Behringer, and went on a tour through the Texas Ranger Museum (much to the delight of my father who has been a police officer for 23 years). I believe that I could contribute to the Baylor community in many ways. I am a hard working, kind young woman that strives to be as Christ-like as possible. I was graced with the gift of compassion and always do my best to make sure that everyone around me feels valid and loved. Specifically, if there were a student that needed help I feel that I could be a good listener and a compassionate, empathetic friend. I always try my best to maintain a positive and “never give up” attitude. Many of the adults I work with view me as respectful, responsible, and
The main component I look for in college is their commitment to further my studies. I feel this college will provide an ingenious culture within the science field, therefore rendering myself with the building blocks necessary to later pursue the medical field. Not only does UNCW devote itself towards their student’s undergraduate years, but also by providing Professional pathways such as Pre-Medicine, students such as myself can go into Professional schools better prepared. In addition to my interest in the academics the school has to offer, I also marvel at the amount of extracurricular activities available to the student body. One student organization in particular is the Greek Life. When my mother attended this school, she was an avid member
...Selecting a college to attend was a lengthy process. I applied to four different schools. I outweighed all the pros and cons of each college. The ultimate goal was to persevere and graduate with a degree. As a high school student, I think I found Ohio State appealing because of all the hype that surrounded it. Once I came to the conclusion that I wanted to go into the medical field, I realized that I needed to be in an atmosphere where I could maintain my focus. Nonetheless, the most consequential influencing factor was regarding finances. Case was extremely expensive but I received a substantial amount of financial help compared to Ohio State. In addition, I was fortunate to obtain a work study job that helped with living expenses. I knew that college would not be easy especially given Case’s reputation. In the end, I am confident I made the correct decision.
I applied to UNC Asheville specifically because of its’ distinction as the designated state sponsored liberal arts university. In high school, the areas of study were limited and the course curriculums narrow. I expect a very different experience from my college education. The world is changing rapidly and I am not interested in a specializing in a focused course curriculum to fit into a slot that may not be available by the time I enter the job market. Knowing that I am not ready to concentrate my education in a specific direction is one of the main reasons I applied to UNC Asheville. During Governor’s School, I experienced a taste of the diversity offered by an Arts education and loved it. I am hoping to attend UNC Asheville and continue that experience. I am looking for college to challenge me, broaden my knowledge, and develop my ability to think for myself. I am excited about becoming part of an
The election night of 2000 was a pivotal moment in my life. I stayed up all night on November 7th, 2000, not because I was enthralled with watching Florida flip-flop between Gore and Bush, but because I had an IV in my arm which made it impossible to be comfortable. Earlier that evening, I was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes, a disease affecting 1 of 800 people in America. This was an especially crucial time in my life, considering I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis—an autoimmune disease that attacks the GI track in 1 of 1400 Americans—the June before, and I had my Bar-Mitzvah in September. According to the Jewish religion, I had become an adult, and as such, I had decided to greet my new medical challenges with gusto, attempting to see the silver lining from the very beginning. I cannot say that I am glad I was nature’s statistical anomaly, but I am thankful for the opportunity to see from a young age how to turn a tough situation into a positive. After almost nine years, I come back to this pivotal night in my life because it marked a change that still plays a part in my life now, and will continue to shape me in the future.
Have you ever been to Texas? I have been once. My trip to Texas was unbelievably awesome. I saw many of things on my way there. While we were there, I had loads of fun. Many things happened while we were there. Texas was the coolest place I have ever been.
Since my first visit at the Air Force Academy as a young boy, I instantly realized this is where I want to go. Ironically, I never why I wanted to go, was it my parents will or the expectations of others and myself? As I started to mature and grow, I learned more about the academy and what it really meant to become a cadet. The opportunity to have a world class education pushed me to pursue acceptance to the Academy. Going to the Summer Seminar will give me a chance to explore many aspects of cadet life to further enrich my interest in the Academy.
Looking back in time, I realize that God set the stage for me working with multi-ethnic ministry by ordering each step and influencing every endeavor. For over thirty years, I educated a broad sector of Illinois public school children representative of different economic, racial, cultural and environmental backgrounds.
UTK is more than just a school. It is a family. Nowhere else in the country will you find such a loyal, passionate fan base that spreads so far beyond campus. .The tradition of an exceptional athletics program will leave any student boasting with pride. Neyland Stadium, it's one of the largest football stadiums in the United States in terms of its capacity. It can hold up to over 100,000 fans! It has a great sports program and Saturday football games have a culture and life of their own. Every student should at least attend one football game in their time attending UTK. The atmosphere there would leave you speechless. It will definitely be one of the memories that you will cherish from your days in college. The last reason is that no matter what background one might have, they will always be a part of the Volunteer family
Overall, I believe that George Fox University is the perfect place for the next adventure of my life to occur. George Fox will give me the skills I need to succeed as a teacher and allow me the chance to learn more about myself, the world and most importantly, my faith. With my attendance at George Fox, I would bring a unique perspective to the student body with my background as a farm kid, dancer and 4-H member. Having the opportunity to attend George Fox University would open up a door to a new adventure that I will cherish forever, as well as prepare me for my entire
When notified by a few peers that they had seen my name on a nomination list for the National Honor Society, I was surprised and genuinely flattered. After researching more about what it was, it was an honor to be recognized for all I do every day in order to be successful in life. Every year I make sure I take every opportunity to get the best education I can, like all honors or AP classes. My freshman year, I took AP Biology and have to admit I was initially intimidated, but I knew if I applied myself and kept on going through the course it would benefit me in the long run and I ended with a B and was ecstatic when I discovered that I passed the AP test. Passing one AP course gave me the ambition to go ahead and take more, so next year I plan on taking three AP classes; Psychology, Environmental Science and U.S. History. Along with these, I am very set on dual enrolling. I’m willing to work as hard as I can in order to ensure my success.
Currently I'm gaining my knowledge at Texas A&M University in San Antonio and have deemed a wonderful experience in and out of campus. It has felt like a home since the beginning specially coming from a far away city where it distinguishes itself through cultures. The staff and professors have contributed to a well guided path to success inside the classroom in my first semester of college. Not to mention, the everyday environment has evolved from day one to the present. From going through stressful experiences to experiencing snow for the very first time. In addition, I've experienced the evolvement of creating new colleague's in a diverse city. It was a thrilling experience to encounter people from different cultures and race because it opens
I have decided to apply to Baylor as a transfer because I felt that it was chancer to take. I currently live in Waco, Texas, and I have been there for all my life. When I was younger, I wanted to attend Baylor as my mom did. Although, when anyone is starting to grow up and become independent, there was excitement to leave home and be on my own. My first semester at University of Mary-Hardin Baylor was fantastic and I enjoyed staying on campus. This second semester became more challenging, not too much with school but with my emotions. I started to miss home, even when home was 40 minutes away. I started to feel as though UMHB wasn’t for me anymore, but I did
For the past 8 years, I’ve lived in a town with a smaller population than some of my friends’ high school graduating classes. I loved those 8 years, but living in such a tight-knit community has its limitations. For example, out of 49 students in my class, I was the only one to leave the state of Arkansas, or even go to a private university. Of course there is absolutely nothing wrong with staying close to home, that’s the comfortable and convenient choice, and that choice was nearly mine as well. However, I visited Baylor and I immediately knew that this was the place I wanted to spend the next four years. It felt like home and I haven’t regretted my decision once.
Since my offers for football were all limited to Junior Colleges that can only offer books and tuition, I kept my search to that level. I then picked my top three of these and began to list the things I liked about each school and the things that I didn’t like. My final decision was to attend Hutchinson Community College. I choose this school because I liked the campus, the coaches and I liked their facilities. Hutchinson is quite a drive from Topeka being two and a half hours away but not so far that family and friends can not attend games and come to visit
I chose to attend CSU because I heard several good things from friends and colleagues about the college. I was informed that they have a good Fire Science program. I also heard that CSU has flexible scheduling. Most importantly I heard that CSU would really try to help me in any way possible to succeed at my goals. So far I have found all these things to be true and it has really made the transition from not going to school to being a full time student easier for me.
