It is my pleasure to recommend Brenda Perez to the Ambassador Program at Santa Barbara Business College, Rancho Mirage campus. She has taken two of my classes previously and has proven herself to be an excellent and hard working student. Ms. Perez was born Leon Guanajuato, Mexico in 1996, but has lived in the United States for some twenty years now. Unlike her parents, who were forced to drop out of school early in her life, she, with the support of her family, is committed to continuing her education at Santa Barbara Business College in Business Administration. She readily admits that she is normally shy and timid.…
The book Major in Success by Patrick Combs doesn’t teach the readers how to get excellent scores or how to participate in class, it basically focuses on advising the readers, specifically university freshmen and sophomores to obtain a successful life by selecting a declared major that fits their interest, career path and ambition. I would summarize the before and after difference before I had experience to study in the USA. I was touched by the chapter that talks about studying abroad as this chapter really represents me. The book also presents innovative strategies for tackling the six major fears that that most students face and suffer today and provide some useful ways to overcome and handle with those fears. I was like most of others who…
For the past several years I have been an undergraduate student at York University, as well as a part-time employee at Levy Law Professional Corporation.

More importantly, I matured as a person. I became more responsible, initiate and goal oriented.…
College is an important step for a person but a lot of people think that college is not necessary. There are a lot of reasons why people want to go to college and I am sure that everybody's reason is different. I want to go to college because of one main reason and that reason is the opportunities it allows me to have. I want to go to college because after I graduate and get my degree, I will be opened to more opportunities in life. I will be more inclined to have a better life if I go to college rather than just having a high school diploma.…
Jose Valencia was nominated for Student of the Month by one of his professors, Dr. Frank Kidd. In nominating Jose, Kidd stated “Whatever anyone says about when to pursue an academic degree (especially one from NAU), Jose is a case study regarding dedication. His degree pursuit comes after an 8-hour day, and a 45-minute commute both to and from campus lectures. He is a proud/deserving “Student of the Month” and someone NAU can cite as a distinguished student following the academic criteria defined as leading to a successful post-graduation professional opportunity.” Jose plans on graduating in May of 2016 and will be receiving his Bachelor of Business Administration with an emphasis of Management.…
Is College Worth the Money With our changing society, higher education is no longer a privilege or option, but rather a necessity. However, with the cost of college on the rise many people are questioning as to whether or not college is even worth the money. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in an October 2013 study, “65.9 percent of 2013 high school graduates were enrolled in colleges or universities” (1).…
I want to attend NYU because of the diversity and the possibilities that it brings. With such a wide range of people, culture, and lifestyles, I think it would make it easier to make friends and meet people, whom I hopefully will have continuing connections with throughout my life. Another factor that leads me to want to apply to NYU is that it has more than 300 extracurricular clubs, because of all the options, I would have a variety of opportunities to explore new interests as well as continue with some old ones like lacrosse. In addition through extracurricular activities and classroom work, I aim to further develop my interpersonal and leadership skills. Which I know I have but just need to further cultivate.…
Ever since I was a toddler, I dreamed of breaking free from my mother’s arms to travel and discover the wonders of the of world. At Pace University, I realized that childhood dreams do come true sometimes. Being accepted into Pace university was moment filled with pride for my parents and me.

Then, I took upon myself to arm with the best and the latest in business and management and shifted my mental makeup to focus on academics.…
I am very excited about this year. My favorite things to do are remote controlled vehicles and U.A.V.s. Also, I like to geek out with my laptop. When I say this, I mean that I mess up my laptop and fix it. I am very talented on the piano and the trumpet.…
Professionalism After receiving an education from Poole College of Management, I hope to seek employment as an entry-level financial advisor at a prestigious financial institution such as Merrill Lynch, Wells Fargo or Morgan Stanley.

As a consultant for Deloitte, I want to be able to travel around the country because I enjoy experiencing new cultures and interacting with people face to face. Similar to every successful professional and business owner I will have my ups and downs, but I have to power my way through the adversity.…
The reason why I would like to attend Brandeis University and obtain an international business administration degree is because the faculty not only will challenge and prepare me well academically but Brandeis also has a great relationship with businesses nationally and internationally.

I also like Brandeis because it’s a very diverse campus with people from many different backgrounds from around the world. My interest in attending Brandeis in obtaining an undergraduate degree that would lead to a master program. My ultimate goal is to become an entrepreneur in the business world.…
I think I’ve actually lost track on how to start and perfectly execute a goal. This is rather amusing because I have an entire board on Pinterest dedicated to motivational quotes, those chic “DIY” goal posters, and even printable pages to insert in my student planner. I pretty much call it “the board full of aesthetic appeal that I never manage to use.” I guess my type of goal setting falls under organized chaos within a disorganized world. The disorganized world I’m referring to is within my own mind because one day I want to be a physician assistant, and then a few days later I consume myself with doubt in my abilities.…
