Explain Why I Want To Be An Nsu Shark

Improved Essays
Why do you want to be an NSU Shark?
What would happen if a lion, who is the king of the jungle, combated against a shark, king of the deep blue sea? That would be a tremendous battle to lay eyes upon. The location where this catastrophic Massacre would takes place is vital. If it took place in the lion’s den, the shark will perish. If the battle took place in a shark tank, the lion will drown, and be shark meat. You’re probably thinking how is this relevant to me or my admission to NSU? Being a natural shark, I have detected blood, which is success, and know exactly where I must go to get it. I could only find it at the illustrious Nova Southeastern University shark tank.
I attended Florida Memorial University home of the lions, and I wasn’t treated right. They didn’t understand me, because I wasn’t one of them. The lack of resources accompanied the lack of challenges. I wasted time, money, and more at a place I didn’t belong. This created an apprehension towards my future. Now that I have come to my senses, I want to be an NSU shark. NSU is in a local safe environment, and it has always been the university I wanted to attend.

NSU has been my dream school ever since my junior year in high school. I remember walking on the campus for a volleyball clinic and feeling like I was at home. I immensely wanted to play volleyball at NSU, but didn’t get offered a scholarship to play there. I was offered a volleyball scholarship for FMU. In the lion’s den as a destined shark I suffered emotionally, physically, and mentally at FMU. I didn’t feel comfortable on the campus, I didn’t make any friends, and the professors were not encouraging. The environment was not a good place for me to get my education. I don’t believe that it could give be competitiveness or help me accomplish my future career

She spent the following weeks talking about her hallmates, lunch with her professors, and her highly intellectual peers. My brother soon followed suit. They both talked about the intimate relationships they were able to foster through opportunities to interact with the faculty, such as college-wide barbeques and eating dinner at professors’ homes.…

    I believe that the motto “Once a Falcon, Always a Falcon,” is a perfect motto to describe myself as both a person and student. Growing up, I always took pride of my hometown (Vermilion, Ohio). My hometown, paired with the rollercoaster of experiences I endured throughout middle school and high school, made me who I am today. Granted, there were hard times and struggles, but I would not be where I am today had I not grown from those experiences. As I stated in my application, I represented my school and hometown at the 2013 Buckeye Boys Convention.…

    Throughout the course of my short seventeen years, I have grown and learned many things. I grew up in a small rural town called Elk Creek. There are no strangers in Elk Creek; people sleep with their doors unlocked and their windows open. Everyone who has grown up in a small town can agree that friendship and community become a second nature trait. Although I have copious amounts of love and respect for where I grew up; I believe that I do not belong there.…

    Dear, Point Pleasant Beach High School I would like to thank Beach's program for touring me around the school during the open house and Dr. Grosshandler for taking the time out of his day to discuss my possible future with Point Pleasant Beach and its amazing academic program.

Over the course of this school year, I have begun to realize the difference between my old school, Point Pleasant Boro, and my new school, Spring Lake Heights. Heights has a smaller population which benefits the students for multiple reasons.…

    Earlier today I received a letter in the mail from UNC Wilmington. My parents assembled around me as I opened the letter, from the University that I have habitually desired to attend, only to observe my smile decline as I informed them that my decision had been deferred. Along with the decision letter there was a “Frequently Asked Questions” article stating how I could insure UNC Wilmington that they are my first choice. The paper states, “If UNCW is your first choice, you may send us a letter, or email expressing your interest. We will add this to your file.”…

    From the day I stepped on campus at Bryant University I knew there was something special about this place. This place wasn’t like anything I’d ever experienced before. Growing up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, I attended a large public high school, with over 1,000 kids in my class. Based on my experience in a large high school, I assumed the only logical progression for me was to attend a large public state university. I assumed I would join all of my high school best friends at one of the state schools.…

    From a young age, I always loved playing football; being out on the field is one of the best feelings ever. The adrenaline, hearing the crowd cheering, scoring touchdowns; it a rush that goes through my veins and I cannot get enough of it. I would play because I enjoyed it, but I had no idea how the simple game of football would change my life for the better. Growing up I used to see my friends come home from little league practice everyday on school days and that really used to make me mad. They used to get home when the street lights were on and we were not able to come outside and play at that time.…

    The whole ride there I was trying to think positive thoughts but there were always some what ifs in the back of my head. My cousin had come here before me, and ended up leaving after the first semester because she didn’t like it. She was the main reason why I had such anxiety over it, and everyone was telling I’d be just like her and come back too. Before I knew it, I was on campus having my things being taken to my room. I went through the sign in process and went up to my “room” for the next year.…
