When I first discovered the academic prowess and the opportunities that were offered at Montclair State University, I found myself having a feeling that this was the school for me. This gut feeling became amplified once I had done research on the Feliciano School of Business and the Montclair State Law School. For years I had envisioned myself being at an institution that values and initiates an educational and empowering environment as this would fit in well with my core academic strengths and ideals and for these reasons I am gladly seeking admission to Montclair State University.

Throughout my academic career I have gained valuable insight into what my academic strengths and interests have developed into. I have taken honors level mathematics

During my years at Mount Olive High School, I have been involved in investing money I have earned during various jobs into a custodial brokerage account. This task that I have undertaken has allowed me to gain an intricate knowledge of the stock market and the inner workings of Wall Street which I believe has gifted me with an advantage over others who are majoring in business. More recently, as a result of the upcoming election, I have become more involved and aware of the political sphere and the ideological clashes which have arisen during one of the most consequential elections in recent history. This has caused me to begin writing opinion pieces regarding politics and culture that once finished I will submit them to my local newspaper to be published under opinion columns. In doing this I have kept myself active in intellectual and financial pursuits which have added value to me as an applicant to Montclair State University.

When I first discovered the academic prowess and the opportunities that were offered at Montclair State University, I found myself having a feeling that this was the school for me. Having taken into account all my trials and accomplishments during my years at Mount Olive High School, from being involved in varsity track & field to taking various AP and Honors classes, I believe that I am a great candidate

    Our Lady of the Lake College is a Catholic institution that was created in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, who firmly believed that all of creation spoke volumes of God’s love for us. St. Francis was raised in a fairly wealthy family, and it was not until he was captured at battle for two years, that he decided to embark on the glorious journey of knowing Jesus Christ. He began preaching to word of God, and embraced others that were not of his kind. Students who attend Our Lady of the Lake College should be of the same example to others throughout their academic careers. As Franciscans, We live by five core values that are service, reverence and love for all of life, joyfulness of spirit, humility, and justice.…

    AVID: Student Analysis

    Throughout the year AVID has helped me learn organizational skills enormously. I say this because at the beginning of the year I didn’t know how I was going to complete all the work I received and I didn’t really understand the time management part. So as we started getting more and more homework, I found it was important to use your planner and to do your homework the night it was assigned. Several times I fell into a whole on Thursday nights, when we had binder the next day.…

    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.…

    As the season of fall approaches here at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi, I have reached the middle of my fall semester as a freshmen college student. Midterms are approaching and I am pulling my hair out due to the sleepless nights and long hours of studying for midterms. There are some students are planning activities for Halloween while I on the other hand am preparing my study guide for my Microeconomic midterm. The closest to a break I would have from school would be Thanksgiving break, and during the break I would return home and begin working for my family. All the stress I am feeling about school could be due to my unorganized school schedule and responsibility of renting an apartment.…

    My education consisted of the perfect blend of the sciences and humanities all provided in an intimate and encouraging environment that only Defiance College can provide. Indeed, my coursework and involvement in the McMaster School for Advancing Humanity not only bestowed me with the skills to think critically about many of society’s most challenging problems, but it also instilled a cognizance that these problems cannot be addressed without a compassionate understanding of individuals’ subjective experiences. This theme—whether it be presented in the context of questions as to individual rights verses public welfare; compassion verses rule of law; or what is subjectively proper as opposed to objectively proper—is a theme that I was consistently…

    Berea College Challenges

    • 679 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The largest of these issues are the difficult academic courses that all students encounter during their academic careers. While it is reasonable to say that this issue is not specific to Berea College, because it is possible to find similarly rigorous courses at other institutions, Berea is unique in that it presents the academically challenging equivalent of an Ivy League education without the benefits of one. Courses at Berea are designed to challenge students in this way, however, ultimately obtaining a degree from Berea College does not hold the same value in the professional world that a job from an Ivy League institution would. This is not to say that both degrees are not equally challenging, rather that employers would be more inclined to choose an applicant with a degree from an impressive school that they have heard of, and unfortunately Berea College’s influence does not spread far beyond the borders of Appalachia in the way that Yale’s does. For many students, however, the benefits of a Berea education outweigh the challenges.…

    My observation took place at Gateway Community College Central City Campus as a part of my job as a student services specialist at the front desk counter. I was observing students between 9 A.M. and 12P.M. on a Monday morning, September 12, 2016. I was able to observe about 15 current and prospective students. The college is located in Central City area neighborhood on Buckeye and 12 street, and most of the students at this campus are considered to be “at-risk” students. The student population of Gateway is very diverse, but they have a lot of similarities as well.…

    Throughout my schooling, I have put in extra time and effort to go above and beyond in the classroom. I have always been eager to learn and grow not only as a student, but as a well-rounded, well-educated leader. I secured a spot on my high school’s honor roll from the beginning of my freshman year and have worked very diligently to maintain my place upon it. I have challenged myself with my coursework throughout high school, from honors classes to AP and IB courses, but being a part of Purdue’s Honors College would allow me to pursue even more rigorous coursework and build relationships with other students to set me up for an even more successful future. The Honors College provides a substantial amount of opportunities both in the Purdue community,…

    In the world we live in now it is very easy to overlook the importance of community. It not only gives a sense of belonging, but also forms a support group for individuals that fall on hard times. Volunteering through the Michigan State University Student Literacy Corps, demonstrated to me the need for community support in a child’s education. This organization tutors k-5 children in reading and writing, free of charge. Entering in this program I was told that the capital area is among the poorest regions in the state, and has an adult literacy rate of below 75%.…

    I am a first generation college student so I had little prior knowledge of what college classes entailed.

After doing well my first quarter I decided to take on more responsibility. My financial crisis had unfortunately worsened during my first quarter so I decided to get a job and work everyday. I also took harder classes and joined the executive board of my sorority.…
