I came to Bryant and Stratton college to start a new chapter in my life. At this point in my life, I wanted to do something I always want to do is complete college. I was looking for a school that would not interfere with my busy schedule. As a caregiver for my five grandchildren, I knew what every school I attend I need to be able to complete my work as well as help them complete theirs. One day while setting in my living watch television a commercial about Bryant and Stratton college appeared.…
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. Beach has gained a reputation of producing intelligent students and sending them off to college. Being considered for a program with such a productive system brings a monumental amount of joy to me and my family. 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.…
The main reason I attended St. Thomas University my freshman year was due to the fact that it was a free education. I can't afford college unless I earn scholarships to pay my way through school. My family doesn't have the money to send me off to out of state or private schools so I worked hard to earn the money on my own. The scholarship I earned at St. Thomas University was both academic and athletic.…
I m originally from Secaucus New Jersey, I have moved to Houston during my senior year of college. I didn’t know any university during that time because I was still new to Texas. But as time passed by, people would always gave high remarks and praised Sam Houston State University in Kingwood High School. As graduation grew closer and closer; I decided that I will apply to SHSU but sadly I became very ill and required to get my colon removed due to having over 100 cancerous polyps. As time passed it took me a year to finish 3 surgeries and I was on the road of recovery.…

The question is innocent enough. Why did I decide to take cosmetology? There are hundreds of thousands of career paths out there, but this is something I am passionate about. Cosmetology is the art and science of creating, and enhancing the beauty a person already has. A cosmetologist is the cocoon in which a caterpillar entrusts to bring out their inner confidence, to allow them to feel good inside and out.…
One has the option to live on campus. It is very convenient to live on campus so one will not have to drive every day. Everything at the university is in walking distance to each other. Living on campus can help students to concentrate on their assignments by not having the distractions of a commute and family. Universities tend to be huge campuses with big lecture halls to accommodate a vast number of students.…

Being an athlete might just be the most rewarding thing. It is one of the greatest privileges I have been given. To this day I am thankful that I was given the ability to play. Without this, I would of never been able to meet amazing teammates, great mentors, get to travel around the country, and have an activity that would keep me out of trouble. I was especially privileged that my parents could support me so that I could play club, go to extra camps, and participate in strength and conditioning.…
Studying in Perugia will stimulate my college experience in many ways that residing at Hollins cannot. While abroad, I will learn a new language and practice it with native Italian speakers. This will promote both my linguistic and cultural skills. While I could learn a language in a classroom setting, being able to speak fluently in a public setting will solidify the language and allow me to communicate effectively; I can’t just translate small passages on paper. This experience will also expose me to varying people and countries, teaching me about diverse cultures, and, in turn, my own culture.…

I was so convinced that I wanted to major I physical therapy, but I changed my intended major to Pre-PA. When I was applying to colleges, I did not have my “reacher” school. I just applied to college and universities where I thought that I had a legitimate shot of being accepted to. Nonetheless, I did not want to apply to Marywood.…
The Greek word Philomath is defined as a lover of learning. Learning is a never ending skill because new material is often released. Knowledge is something that could never be conquered due to its never ending matter. At a very early age, I was told of the meaning of education and knowledge. Ever since I began my academic quest I found my interest to be in science.…
College sports, such as men’s football and basketball, generate millions of dollars for there institutions. In 2014, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”) reported $989 million dollars in revenue (NCAA, 2013-14 Financial Statement, NCAA.ORG). However only a small portion of this money goes to the student athlete in the form of scholarships. This raises the question, since these athletes are making all this money for their collegiate institutions should they not get a part of the revenue they create?…
If you follow college basketball closely you will know of the one and done rule that plagues players and college universities. If you have never heard of this rule it basically states that any player wanting to go into the NBA must first complete one year of college. According to Alex Berg of USA Today, the NCAA has drifted away further than ever from the literal meaning of student-athletes. Now, high-profile basketball players are being treated as guests(Berg). This can cause the university 's graduation rate to lower.…
