Junior year is almost over and students like myself are contemplating where they might want to spend their years after high school and what career path they may want to follow.

I am enthusiastic about continuing my education after high school and I would be grateful for the head start this program would provide.

    I also wanted to be able to help as many people that I could. Being an educator and helping so many students grow and develop was the best career I could imagine. I may only have a student in my classroom for one year but I hope that those few months I can help each student as much as possible on their educational journey. I hope that my time with each student will help them develop the life skills they will need to become a great citizen not only to our town but to the world.…

    I would love to be a part of the ERAU Honors Program for a multitude of reasons. I feel that the Honors Program is something akin to another door being opened in a long line of opportunities in life. Firstly, I should note that I have, for a long time, found myself in an endless pursuit of knowledge. However, I have yet to be able to quell my love for learning, and I can think of no opportunity superior to the Honors Program at Embry-Riddle to continue this. With the extensive lecture series offered through the Honors Program, both from faculty and third parties, I would be able to continuously and passionately pursue a more complete and comprehensive knowledge of the world.…

    Comparing Freemont High to Maryville High High school should be a place where teens feel comfortable, and to a certain extent, free to make their own decisions. At Freemont High School (FHS), Jonathan Kozol interviewed the students’ attendance, and all of them said this school was none of the things it is supposed to be. Though Maryville High School, a small town East Tennessee school, is extremely different than Freemont High School, an inner city school in Los Angeles, at first glance, the two actually have a few things in common. When looking at what Jonathan Kozol’s wrote in his article about FHS, a Los Angeles high school called, “Freemont High School”, written in 2005, three similarities arise: crowded lunches, unsanitary conditions, and freedom. At Freemont High School there are…

    I was ten years ago and I can still vividly remember sitting on an old, wooden rocking chair while the words of The Very Hungry Caterpillar trembled off my lips to a room full of second graders. I can recall the eagerness and excitement that filled their little faces as I flipped from page to page. There was an abundance of curiosity and desire to learn in that classroom that made me happy that I decided on skipping recess to read to the younger students. There was a fire that lit in my ten-year-old body that day. That was the day where I finally had an answer to all the “What do you want to be when you grow up?”…

    Most little girls dream of being a ballerina when they grow up, I was the little girl who dreamed of medical school. Anyone who was brave enough to ask got my vehement no when asked if I thought that the college, subsequent medical school, and training would be too much school or that I would get bored. I decided very early that to be a doctor was one of the most exciting things that a person could chose to be and my fantastic pediatrician was the initial spark for this love of medicine. The care that I could see him exhibit in his daily operations as well as the ease at which he interacted with patients and parents alike inspired me. His knowledge was fascinating and I longed to have that level of understanding of the human body.…

    “What do you want to be when you grow up?” This is a question everyone is asked by teachers, parents, and even strangers, from the time they are young and just learning to read. Most kids tend to say they want to become an astronaut or a professional athlete. But for me, I was on the complete other end of the spectrum. Instead of shooting for the stars, I aspired for ground level and always said I wanted to become a professional dog walker.…

Through education and life lessons I hope they can achieve their dreams by believing in themselves. I believe that my leadership abilities, courage, kindness, and nurturing would impact my ability to fulfill my dreams. Some of examples of when I have used these qualities are I am always willing to volunteer. For example, I worked at a summer camp mostly five days a week, organized a cancer benefit in third grade, hosted a stuffed animal drive for young cancer patients, and raised over 10k for my local community.…

    When I was little, I wanted to be a chemist. I imagined myself in the lab coat and with goggles on, carefully pouring electric blue liquids and jade green foam back and forth into various containers, until something had exploded and I had discovered the best way to make flowers the size of people. As I grew up, I lost this fantasy, but I gained more knowledge on how I wanted to influence the world. Funnily enough, I discovered what I really wanted to do when I started working at Chick-fil-A during the summer before my sophomore year. All of my friends had warned me against working in fast food, quoting horrible smells and ridiculous customers and tons of grease.…
