College Admissions Essay: A Career As A Radiologist

Improved Essays
To be successful, to be intelligent, to be a change. Those are the three main reasons I want to attend college. In this day and age, many jobs require a higher level of education to be able to work. Those jobs that don’t require a degree, depend upon more manual labor, backbreaking work and lower wages. I would rather remain in school longer, expand my knowledge, and get a career on everything I have learned, than go straight to the work field to earn less and do more. Radiology is the field that leaves me in awe. Radiologist need to know the human body as well as they know the back of their hand.

With cheer, we did a lot of volunteering in our school and community with younger kids. The happiness was apparent in their faces whenever they would see us. The feeling of being a role model to all the kids, just because we were cheerleaders in uniform, is unexplainable. Even when we sat next to them, they felt as if they were on top of the world. It is crazy to think that something so simple for us, made such a big impact on someone

    Five years ago, if somebody told me that I would be a cheerleader, I would have laughed and told them they were crazy. When I was in middle school, I was the definition of a tomboy and believed cheerleading was easy and frivolous. Little did I know that cheerleading would require more mental and physical strength than any other sport I have played and that it would change my life forever. The past four years of my life have truly shaped me into who I am today because of the Saint John Vianney High School cheerleading team. During my high school years I gained more confidence in myself, learned to be more patient, was taught the importance of teamwork, and learned the value of success.…
