Personal Statement: I Want To Attend College

Improved Essays
I have recently decided that I wanted to go to college and get a job that I want. I know that I will be in debt for a while, but hopefully and eventually I will get out of debt. Debt is the most common thing for college students. I think that going to college straight after high school when it begin to start that my mind will be fresh from all the good facts. It’s very hard to decide what I want to go to college for. My biggest worry is that I will go to college and change my major and not proceed what I wanted to do. These are some of my plans i want to do as i get out high school.
To begin, my life is very stressful and I know that it will get stressful as I continue to get out in the world. I have proceeded with what I wanted to do so I go back and forth. My first option that I want to do or go to college for is being a PE teacher.

I think that what makes me stand out as in individual. I know that when i go to college when it starts my parents will have to go with me to sign the papers since i won 't be 18. I will graduate when i 'm 17 years old.There are some in my grade that will graduate when they are 17 so i 'm not all alone. The good thing about graduating when i 'm 17 years old that i will get out one year than anybody else. Also that help me when i go to college i can get my degree younger than others. I think that is what will make it nice. I think in life we may deal with some type of bullying or peer pressure. Since i 'm the youngest i see that kids will make fun of me because of that. I just ignore those silly things. I know that going to college is a big commitment and you have to decide now if you want to go because that will help you in the long run. You can go to college later in your life, but the sooner you get your degree or what it may be the more money you will make and you can pursue your dream

    Personal Statement A college campus is teeming with young, inspired individuals ready to take on the world. A college campus is also where you can find a plethora of students who are not going to take their studies seriously, and will inevitably abuse their freedoms. As a student who is safely in the inspired individuals category, I am confident when I say I will be an academic, athletic, and extracurricular benefit to any campus. I have much to offer and benefit the college community, not just through my academic interest as many students try to and do.…

    While at a Community College, I have had time to grow and mature into a finer young adult than I came out of High School. I learned to live on my own and take care of myself, while continuing to acquire training and education. It was also a time I took to figure who I am and who I want to be. With that in mind, I have found that I desire to continue growing at a different institution. While I have learned a significant amount of things in my current college and enjoyed every minute of it, I will be graduating from its program soon and wish to explore opportunities elsewhere.…

    My father died when I was 13 years old and as a result, my mother is now my household’s sole provider. Her paycheck covers our basic necessities and leaves very little left over for my college fund. I have worked very hard my high school career to cultivate both impressive grades and extracurricular activities. First day of freshman year I already intimately understood that if I wanted to go to college, I would have to get scholarships and grants. My mother earns too much to qualify for aid but not enough to pay for my tuition.…

    You should pursue careers that interest you rather than listening to someone else. We should not spread the idea that going to college is incorrect because that is most certainly not true. If you want to go into a field that involves a college education go right ahead, but only if you feel it is right for…

    Motivation: Going to college after failing twice before is no simple task. My first run at college I didn’t finish due to not being able to afford college.

My motivation is being able to tell my son that I have attained a BA in Criminal Justice.…

    University of Illinois Springfield Statement of Goals I never really thought about going to graduate school ever in my life. There was even a time when I thought I would not even be able to get my Bachelor’s degree, so going to get my masters was a late decision. I was fortunate to graduate a double major and minor from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay for my undergrad in May. I majored in Political Science and Public Administration with an emphasis in policy and management studies. I also squeezed in a business administration minor, which was quite a challenge to juggle.…

    Life After High School

    The idea that all people shall know what they'd like to do with their lives by the time they graduate high school is like expecting a baby to start walking right out of the womb, crazy. While some may figure it out early on in life most of the time that is not the case. As a senior in high school approaching the end, I for one can say that I am completely unsure about what I'd like to do after high school, which I strongly believe is a widespread conflict. For those who have their lives all planned out from a young age, their college life is all figured out, the classes they'll take, how long they'll be there, the degrees they earn, and of course where they will go after.…

    Yes it’s true, students learn through lectures, multimedia and learn outside by. One thing the Carolina community would learn from me is my view on being disciplined and determined as a person and even more so as a teen. I believe people ought to set objectives and follow up on those objectives. They shouldn't "attempt" to follow up on them, they should really do it. My objectives are: I want to be the first person in my family to go to college, I want to major in Biochemistry and earn my 4 year Bachelor’s degree, I want to go to a Pharmacy School, and finally I want to finish my education by the age of 26.…

I had lived a sheltered life compared to my peers growing up on a dairy farm. Instead of pursuing a college education, I got married and started a family. I was fortunate to be a stay-at-home mother during that 15 year gap in formal education.…
