Two months ago I knew nothing about CCH, didn’t even know that it existed. I was aware of Columbia College Chicago, however, and it has actually been on my list of options, but I haven’t been completely confident that they would suit my goals. Then one day I got a brochure in the mail for CCH and I found it amazing, so I began to do research of course. Everything you offer has me ecstatic, I mean the opportunities that would be available is stupendous. Not only does it seem that I will receive a great education from qualified individuals, but the amount of internships that go along with the courses will also give me experience that not every school with similar programs can offer. I’m positive that CCH has everything that I’ll need to succeed, and that is why I want to partake in the study of cinema at CCH. My mother and father have always been consistent movie goers and lovers. Even at a young age I did well with sitting in movie theatres and watching movies with avid attention. I’d say that’s how my love for movies began, but obviously you need more than just the love for someth...
Every parent wants their child to go to college in order to gain a higher level of learning, but is this truly the best option? In recent years, many have begun to question whether or not a college education is necessary in today’s world. It’s not. College is not worth its cost because of its financial burdens, lack of teaching hands on experience, and its very particular methods that don’t work with some people.
The first movie ever created was made by Louis Le Prince on October 14 in 1888, back then all movies were silent and the movie theatre was consider a simpler, cheaper way to entertain the masses. Since 1888 millions of movies have been made in every language and in every part of the world. Many of those movies have a connection with psychology and its theories, my favorite movie is The Breakfast Club which has a connection with the contact hypothesis of Gordon Allport. The Breakfast Club was made in 1985 and since then it has been used by various psychologist to explain psychology theories in a simple way.
College admissions are crucial a student’s senior year of high school. There are many requirements that need to be satisfied in order to qualify for admissions into certain colleges and universities, as well as the checklist to apply to each school. Hopefully, as a junior the student prepared by taking the SAT/ACT, and visiting at least a handful of potential colleges. By the start of senior year, the student must complete a separate application on ApplyTexas.org for each college which becomes quite tedious, then submit high school transcripts, shot records, admission essay(s), and SAT/ACT scores. Although it may be optional additional letters of recommendation from teachers, coaches and employers should be sent along with proof of volunteer work submitted as an extra precaution. These things show the college more about the individual, and allow the student to have more time to capture their reader’s attention. All of these requirements become extremely stressful, especially for
Higher education is the route to success and that it will indeed land us our dream job. Furthering
Many men knew that if women were educated, they would not depend on the men. For centuries, only men were educated. In the 1800, women started to come out of their house and reached for the education in colleges. Most people were antagonistic to having women go to college and having the same education as men. They thought that women should just take care of their husband and kids. The society thought that coed colleges were more barbaric, because they thought that men and women could not work together. The women’s colleges became a light for the women in 1800’s. Women learned to stand up for their rights by getting educated in college.
As a low-income student in high school, I used my application fee waivers, to apply to four Cal State Universities and four University of California schools. I did not apply to any private universities, for the simple fact that I lacked guidance and information about the schools as well as the probability that I would be accepted to such schools. When I was denied from my top choice (the University of California, Los Angeles), I decided to attend the best school I was accepted to—the University of California, Santa Barbara. In the following section, I will discuss the individual, societal and cultural influences in my college choice process that led to my decision to attend UCSB.
I will definitely enjoy the independence of campus life. The camaraderie, which will develop, should only add to the college experience. The courses will be challenging but I am willing to do what it takes to achieve my ultimate goal, which was alluded to earlier. The untapped potential is there. I would like to be given the opportunity to show what I can accomplish.
Difficulties Attending College Today everyone thinks in order to succeed financially in life they need to have a college education, or at least most of the time this is true. I personally think that despite the many difficulties that a person is faced with, they can overcome their troubles somehow, even though sometimes they can not help but think otherwise. I, myself, have three different reasons why people find it difficult to stay in college. For one, sometimes they still have to keep on working while going to school. Two, they have children, too.
Determining college readiness is an essential part in determining who will qualify as a good candidate for admission into a college or a university. The last thing that colleges want is for students to qualify for admission and drop out, this affects drop out rate and graduation rate. According Robin Chait and Andrea Venezia (2009),
Starting college is an intense and confusing event that plagues all recent high school graduates. It is like trying to run when all you can do is crawl, and for many freshmen, myself included, one can get easily overwhelmed by the daunting task of picking a major when less than two months ago some of our parents still packed our lunches for us every morning. The concept of entering college tends to be frequently skewed and expecting an eighteen year old to decide what they want to do for the rest of their lives, without having them actually experiment in different areas, has the potential to create a generation of adults who are aggravated and depressed in their careers.
Like most young girls, I grew up watching Disney movies. I remember the desire to be and act like almost anything that I watched. I wanted expensive things and a prince that would sweep me off my feet. But I never thought about the negativity that came from watching these movies until I was old enough to realize how they affected my image, behavior, and expectation of love. Most parents are not getting this either!
The story of why I transferred from Pacific Lutheran University starts during my freshmen year winter break, when my three sisters, my mom and I were all left in despair as my father openly cheated on my mom and left us to live with another woman. After winter break I continued to attend PLU, and achieved good grades during the spring semester, passing the first Calculus and a intermediate computer science class. Going into my second year at university, I signed up for the next level of calculus, and the next level of computer science. Classes were demanding, but my mind was focused on my family that was continuing to spiral, my little sister who was 16 at the time started using Xanax along with other things. As a family we knew she was struggling mightily because her dad had

The answer is beautifully summarized by Academy Award winner actor Jack Nicholsen, in one of his speech during Oscar award ceremony, “… they entertain us; they offer hopes (and) give traumas; they take us places, we never been, just even for few moments; they can take us away, when we want to get away; Movies inspire us; they challenge us and despite our differences, they are (the) common link to humanity, in all of us.” In my opinion, this statement is the true reflection of the reason, why people love to watch movies. Movies allow us to escape. But there is a value in this escapism, its more than simple eluding.
