Four months ago, I made an important decision: I changed my major to Accounting. I decided to change my major because I thought I had more job opportunities and options with an accounting major. At the beginning I specifically didn’t know what I wanted to do or in what area of accounting to specialize. After doing some research I decided I wanted to be a forensic accountant. Doing some research I also found that being a forensic accountant has some unique advantages and disadvantages. Becoming a
As a seventh grade student, I took a science course because it was required. At first I was scared about how well I would do and if I would get a good grade throughout the year. When the school year started, I met my teacher and he seemed really nice and he turned out to be an awesome teacher. I excelled in my science seven class and overthrew my fear of getting poor grades. My seventh grade year was the year I determined what I wanted to go to college for and that would be life science education
The idea of taking care of someone and providing assistance to a complete stranger is something not many people do. Seeing people at their worst, during a difficult, challenging and frightening moment of their life is not a job many people would take. However, being there for a person at their time of need is what captivates me the most. Nursing, a career I want to pursue and one that is on my to-do list. Being a nurse entails a lot of things; you must be strong, passionate, hardworking, and caring
Why bother pursuing higher education? A typical student on average goes to school starting from kindergarten to high school. After, students decide whether to seek a higher education in college or start working. For most people, the key to education is to equip young adults with the ability to survive and to make a standard living in the future. In this essay, I will not only argue why it is unnecessary for young adults to pursue higher education, such as college and beyond, but also that obtaining
Cornell University’s Supplemental The possibility of studying a Chemistry and Chemical Biology degree at Cornell’s College of Arts and Sciences department will guide me with the best path. A path enriched with ground breaking research and insightful information, coming not from the textbooks but from the writers, who have created many of the best engineering texts available anywhere.

Recently, I began a new journey in my life by making the decision to go back to school. I had chosen to begin my family after high school and had put my education on hold. However, my children are at the age now where they are not in need of my undivided attention. This decision has turned into an enormous learning experience and I have found it to be extremely demanding and yet incredibly exciting and stimulating. The objective of this paper is to provide you with a clearer understanding as
Recently, Obama came up with an agenda which says “We expect all our children not only to graduate from high school but to graduate from college and get a good-paying job” Now expecting all students to get a four year bachelor’s degree is not plausible suggestion. Without a question, it is certainly not necessary for every student to get a four year degree because there are alternatives which facilitate a student to get a high paying job. Intelligent students may or may not need a bachelor’s degree
A college degree is one of the best educations that a person can get. It not only develops your mind, but it helps to develop you as a person as well. No matter what kind of degree you receive, whether it be a bachelors, associates, or masters you are more likely to get a better job than without it or with just a high school diploma. Workers with a college degree will earn much more and are much less likely to be unemployed than those with only a high school diploma. This paper will argue that with
Throughout the past several years, I have been asked what exactly I want to do with my life. In all honesty, my plan has changed several times over the course of that time. However, after much deliberation, I have decided to pursue a law career. Although I cannot say for sure if this will stick, I believe that this is the path that I can best work for God. Overall, a law career is not always painted in the kindest light. There a thousands of stories of lawyers who have represented horrible people

After nineteen years of living in a small town named Wasco, known by most for the prison, I moved to Long Beach. I grew up in a strict religion that discouraged questioning and required extreme dedication towards servitude of God. Attending college was discouraged by my parents and the church, as it took away from time spent towards serving God. Living in Wasco was my own prison. Moving to Long Beach meant freedom to me where I was finally able to stretch my constrained, clipped wings. Suddenly,

A Bachelor’s Degree requires several years of undergraduate school to obtain based upon the institute or field of study. In my opinion, not all jobs should require a Bachelor’s Degree because some jobs are common knowledge that are stepping-stones to higher-level jobs. People who acquire these jobs are generally high school students, people who cannot find jobs with their degrees, or people who never went to college who need a job to support themselves. These part-time jobs should prepare people
What is the American Dream? As James Truslow coined in 1931 " A dream of land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper class to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the

We wrote our wishes in our diaries and in Birthday cards. The question would be: why am interested in Information Technology and what changed my dream?
