Right Student To Attend College

One specific thing I think a college should look for when searching for that right student to attend their college is the ability to adapt to change, the discipline and work ethic, and being involved in many activities. If you were to choose me for your college I guarantee that I have all those qualifications. Coming from a family where I would be the first to attend college it has always been a huge priority for my future. I really want to strive to better not only my future, but with the career I choose to better others lives as well. I have every intention of striving to do the best I possibly can at your college. I have wanted to go to college ever since I was in sixth grade I have always told myself that I will always have college …show more content…
Being from a family where your father has worked in the oil field you tend to move around a lot due to transfers. My first move was when I was in second grade I was mortified at first, but then after sixth grade things started to get easier when making friends.

I volunteered to help with the community musical by being stage manager and like I had said before was inducted into NHS my sophomore year as well. I find it really important to do extra-curricular activities because you meet new people helping out with your community and it builds up a college application as well. I remember my mom always saying you should sign up for that or join that club it will look good on a college application and you could even get a scholarship for it.

After stage managing a musical for theatre I had realized that, that was my niche and I really enjoyed the challenge of being a stage manager. Ever since then I have been dead set on maybe even one day directing a play myself. I love to learn new things and make memories with all the new people I meet at the clubs and extracurricular
