...Although I am unaware of the schools I want to apply to, I know I definitely want to go to a bigger university no closer than three hours. My ideal colleges are closer to the south, where it is a lot warmer ( just so you know a general location ) Have you selected a college major? Why are you interested in this field? What profession do you anticipate pursuing? Although I am aware that knowing my major would help a lot in the letter, but unfortunately I have no clue. I think that if I really can not choose something I will fall back on a business major but for now I am undecided. Another Option I have been exploring is psychology and behavioral sciences. This field intrigues me because there is still so much humans do not know about animals and our own mind’s and deviant behaviors. I genuinely know that this is something I would love to do, and providing articles and research to further the facts we know about living beings. The only thing I worry about is there is limited jobs for this major, and once I leave college I want to be able to start my career right away and not have to wait a few months or even years for a job in that field. What are 5...

...College is one of the most vigorous times in a young adult's life. I can make or break you and takes a lot of willpower and determination to stay focused. Although it is not necessarily required to got to college at any point in someone’s life, it has mainly become the norm. Majority of the time students no longer contemplate whether or not they will attend college, but which college they are going to commit four years to. I believe that is why i chose to go to college. Not just because it was going help me excel in my desired job field but for the sole fact that pretty much everyone does it. However, choosing Campbell was a different story. I did not know anything about this university, didn’t even know it existed and even more of a surprise was how much my life has changed since I got that big cardboard envelope in the mail. Campbell was the only school to offer me a scholarship which was the first sign that I was bound to end up here, but I still had second thoughts. After the freshman orientation i became hooked. The campus was filled with people from all across the state who were all open to making new friends and connections. Campbell allows me to achieve my goals educationally, socially, mentally, and religiously....

...I took my first college class at 13 years old. My parents never graduated from college, and I was able go to college for free and get my Associates. The JC/LISD Academy: A Regional Middle College jumpstarted my college career and made it possible for me to get a college degree before I even graduated from high school. After taking an environmental science class, I decided that I wanted to go on to get a bachelors in Environmental Studies. Even though I am coming in with an Associate's, it is still a goal of mine to finish in two years because not all of my classes transferred. I know from previous college classes the I need to put more work into studying. A middle college allows you to test out of high school classes and start taking college classes early. I tested out of almost every subject, besides math. This let me get a huge head start on college, and I also did not have to pay for the first two years of my college experience. This was very important to me because I come from a low income family. I was the first person in my family to graduate from college. It was a lot of work, but I knew that if I wanted to have my dream career, I needed to graduate....

...Colleges and universities offer a wide variety of majors to declare, but when it comes down to making that decision, how do we choose and what influences our decision? Is it our interests, our parents, our experiences, or money? I remember when I first started college I had no idea what I wanted to major in, so I just listened to my dad and he basically chose my major for me. He suggested a program where I could be making close to $45,000 a year with just a 2 year degree. I thought why not, I’d be making good money and only have to go to school for 2 years, it sounds great. Until of course I realized I’m not really interested in it, so I switched my major to biology because that’s what I liked. I believe that is how everyone should choose their major,...

...College is one of the most important steps of our lives. What we want to study and where we want to do it determine our life long careers and even where we end up living. So it tends to be a very difficult and stressing decision to make. In my mind, I thought of all the ways it would affect me and how I wanted my future to be like. All this time in a way I was sort of selfish in my thoughts. Although, little did I know how this decision and the things I did to accomplish it would affect the people around me most importantly my brother. When I was a kid, I was always infatuated with science and learning how the world around us worked and what other things were there that I had never known existed. My mom would constantly tell me to study hard and do well in school if I wanted to have a good economically sustainable job that I would be happy in and make a difference. As I grew older during high school, I began to think more about this and decided I wanted to do something to help others. My mother would sometimes tell me stories about when she was a phlebotomist and how it was all so fascinating, and there were always interesting new cases of the patients that went to the hospital. These stories made me lean towards a career in medicine....

...Everyone has different reasons on why they choose to go to college, personally ever since I was young I had always seen myself going to college. I always had that determination to receive a higher education then just high school and attain a job that would exceed what my family members had. Growing up my father and everyone I saw around me would work in the fields which is a honest job, but I never wanted to go there to wake up to cold mornings at 5am, to work in the middle of the hot sun at 12pm, and go home at 5pm and receive a check that would still put you in a poverty level of income. I wanted to be more than that and I knew the only way that could happen was if I got a degree. With that I also wanted to give myself the opportunity my...

For me personally, it means the start of paying my own bills, buying my own food, and living on my own. This means a job, and fortunately, I have a steady job lined up right here in Twin. I have the option to work full time following graduation, and I’ve worked there since last summer. I’m already trained and know that I work well with my coworkers. It’s a nice little niche I’ve settled into, that I intend to retain after graduation. As far as education goes, like most 17-year-olds, I’m still...

...College is like the finishing sprint in a race. Why stop now, after running all that way, or learning in this case. I have worked to maintain good grades for almost twelve years now. To throw all of that away and not further my education with college would be a gigantic snafu on my part. A college degree is basically a necessity in today’s world. Also, personally, I want to learn all that I can. I may not always show it in school, but I really love learning. The University Of North Carolina School Of Law is my college of choice mainly because I wish to leave West Virginia. My older siblings go to Fairmont State and West Virginia University, and they are both prospering well; though often times they have difficulties focusing on their schoolings with the party atmosphere. Granted, I know that there are other West Virginian colleges besides West Virginia University, the party atmosphere is not the only thing that turns me away. I want to see the world and try as many new things as possible; this ambition is never going to be achieved by residing here in the mountains. Living away from home, but not extremely far sounds exciting to me. The University Of North Carolina School Of Law in Chapel Hill, North Carolina is one of the most prestigious and respected Law Schools in America. I...

...Why college education is important to me Why college education is important to me. “You ask” College education is important to me, because it is a step closer to being the person that I want to be. It is a future for myself, my husband, and my children. I chose to go back to school, (at the age of 34) because I want more out of life. I want to be a better mother and wife, a better person in general. I want to be someone my children can look up too, and say I want to be like you mommy. I want a career! I chose to pursue Psychology as my career, because I have always had an interest in human behavior. I want to learn more about mental functions like memory, creativity, imagination, and so much more. One of the functions that intrigues me the most is brain function. I want to be able to understand why and how it functions the way that it does. I want to understand how one’s mind is different from the other. I want to understand how siblings who have the same biological parents. Can show signs of different mental and behavioral functions. How one child can show signs of anger and shyness? While the other one shows signs of A.D.H.D and mood swings. How can children be so opposite, but yet be so much alike. What intrigues them about each other? How can their social behavior be so different? Like one would show signs of aggression, and one show signs of shyness. I want to learn more about social behavior and what makes it stand out. I want to learn more about...

...Why I chose KSU I chose to come to KSU for many different reasons. Some of them being money, commute, friends, and of course the food. It didn’t take me long to choose KSU because all the things I was looking for in a college were right here, it worked perfect because I am only ten miles from home, so my life didn’t change that much. So far KSU has been a great experience and I am looking forward to becoming fully submersed in campus life. The main reason I chose to attend college at KSU was the people, I have heard nothing but good things from people who have attended KSU. Even in just my first couple days, I have met so many nice people, all of whom where outgoing and very friendly. The people on campus are very friendly and respectful...

...Andrea Scharen EN110.6.4 “Why College Education is important to me?” College education to me holds the key to a successful career and a brighter future. I chose to go to college right out of high school because I knew I wanted a future in what I love and I already knew what I had to plans to do. I also knew that I couldn’t do what I wanted to do without a college education. I believe without a college education you can only really get a basic job. With a college education, you are more likely to become financially stable in the long run. Having a college or higher education can also equip a person with better life skills and improves an individual’s quality of life. Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted to work with children. As I got older I figured out that I wanted to be a teacher. As I hit high school I contemplated even going to college because I was told you can be a basic pre-school teacher without a college education. Though I did not want to just be a basic teacher and I took into consideration that later in life I might want to teach a little older. So I decided a college education was important to have so I can do what I planned. Without a college education you are limited to a basic job. Although with a high school education you may secure a job with good benefits but even that is limited to jobs in service, manufacturing, and construction industries. The argument to that statement is with a college education you can enter a higher level career with a greater...

...04 12 May 2016 Why college education is important to me There are many reasons why a college education is important in general and important to me. Many employers will not even interview candidates who do not have a college degree. There are many more benefits to having a college education than just for interviews.

Employers who have employees with college degrees are seen as goal oriented people. People like these know how to get their job done. Employees with goals not only work well in a timely manner but can also work well with the job itself because they know the goal is to keep customers happy. Opportunities for advancement also come with salary raises. If you are moving to higher position, which means there, should be more money opportunity.

...How do competencies vary between ADN and BSN? March 25, 2015 How do competencies vary between ADN and BSN? I am very proud of my accomplishment of obtaining my license as a Registered Nurse as this was my lifelong dream. I chose a very common route to achieve this, through a community college. This program offered a low cost and rather short timeframe to reach my goal of becoming a RN. The ADN program was rumored to be one of the best in Wisconsin so I chose it, with plans of pursuing my BSN right after I graduated. Unfortunately, like most get their ADN, this just doesn’t happen. A person gets a nursing job and deals with work, life and family stressors, who needs to go back to school for a BSN? A BSN does not generally pay better, the job description is the same for both degrees, why would one possible waste their time? During my first class at the community college, the students were told that the ADN graduates generally performed higher on their NCLEX exams than did the BSN graduates. Another point taught was that this ADN degree was more desirable to perspective employers because ADN’s had greater clinical skills and got hired faster. This information seemed to be true, I was hired at a desirable facility and so began my career as an ADN. My career was going great, I was living my dream, having everything I always wanted. Then policies changed, nurses could no longer hold management positions unless they returned to school to earn their BSN. ...
