“I wasn’t accepted! What am I supposed to do now?” I’m sure many students cried as they yelled these words after receiving a denial letter from the admissions department at San Diego State University in the past few weeks. I myself included. Not knowing what the next step is going to be after being denied acceptance by your dream school can be an anxious and stressful time. That is why I need to make sure I exhaust all possible avenues to make my dream come true of attending San Diego State University (SDSU).
I am writing today to urge you to reconsider me for admission to San Diego State University School of Art and Design beginning August 2017. I am especially interested in the opportunity to attend SDSU’s School of Art and Design for several …show more content…

The schools I am deciding amongst (San Jose State University, Sacramento State University, and Arizona State University) are all respected institutions of higher learning. Additionally, I feel confident that my desire to succeed and do the best I possibly can will further guarantee a positive college experience. Throughout my high school years, I have grown personally and gained a better understanding of the importance of being a leader, positive role-model, and giving back to our community. As a leader of our high school student body, I organized school wide events, one of those being the school-wide campus blood drive. While maintaining my direction, flexibility, and good communication, this event allowed me to coordinate, direct, and delegate responsibilities assuring a successful outcome. While many women suffer from breast cancer, I find it rewarding to support an organization by volunteering for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and helping make an impact in the fight against breast cancer. I’ve also volunteered in the Nicholas Foundation during the Punt, Pass, and Cheer with Nick which is a football and cheerleading clinic to help raise awareness for children with

  • National Honor Society Speech

    913 Words  | 2 Pages

    Growing up my parents always taught my sister and I that we should always be grateful for what we had. Take care of all our toys and expensive things that they brought us. They taught us that you have to work hard for what you want and nothing is handed to you. Even though me and my sister always got what wanted we also knew that we worked for it and that made getting it even better. I believe my parents raised me pretty good. I always respected them and knew my limits, me and my sister had chores we had to do and if they weren't done by the end of the week we would have a consequence. This taught us responsibility and that in the real world if you don't do your job you would be fired or there would be a consequence you would have to pay. Lately I have noticed that a lot of kids in today's society are very ungrateful. They feel entitled and believe that they shouldn't have to work for anything. They think things should just be handed to them without any questions asked. I think I have a way to stop this rising trait in today's youth.

    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.

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.

  • HOSA Graduation Speech

    546 Words  | 2 Pages

    The auditorium lights are on. I walk up onto the stage, fix my tie, and stand behind the podium. As I gaze upon the empty seats, soon to be filled with hundreds of HOSA members from across Area 6, I think of everything I have done to get me this far. Soon, the doors open and people begin to take their seats. The lights dim as I speak into the microphone, “The Area 6 Fall Leadership Conference is now in session.” I rap the gavel and hear the applause of hundreds of future health care professionals who I planned this conference for. For the next 12 months, I will be guiding them on their HOSA journey. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” While many people try to take charge and be authoritative, I believe leadership is about how you can make an impact on the lives of others. My leadership revolves around an organization called HOSA- Future Health Professionals. In HOSA, students who are interested in the medical field meet to volunteer, compete, and socialize. During my junior year, I served as the president of my high school’s HOSA program. My term taught me good communication skills, confidence, delegation strategies and so many unique characteristics of a good leader. My advisor then
