What excites me the most about being in college, is all the opportunities I have available to me after all my hard work. I feel that being in a new environment surrounded by people who want to achieve success, as I do, will take me to where I want to be. Having the right people around you in college, is the best thing you can do. I am also excited about being on my own to push myself harder than I have before. I am currently flourishing to be a behavioral analyst for the BAU/FBI. I imagine myself interrogating murder/homicide suspects to close cases of many victims around the world. Double majoring isn’t ideal for most college students, but I’ve decided to take a more challenging approach; I’m majoring in Psychology and Criminal Justice. As I have many academic goals, one of my top goals would be to master my classes and the basic skills needed to achieve my goals. …show more content…
Being organized helps me in many ways, one being that I know exactly where to look for a specific subject. Although I have strengths, I also have some weaknesses. One of my weaknesses, is being a procrastinator. Leaving things such as: homework, studying, and classwork for last minute is the worst thing you can do as a college student. I also don’t manage my time very well and I rarely go out of my way to meet up with my classmates for homework help or anything of that matter. I would rather work and figure things out on my own, but there are sometimes where you need to ask for somebody else’s

    As children, our parents shape our ideas and opinions. When I was a child I thought Texas A&M was the only university my parents would let me attend based on the way they talked about it.

I would like to study at Texas A&M to continue my family tradition, for the opportunities it offers after graduation and to be admitted to the dental school with a great education behind me.…

    I decided to attend Florida A&M University (FAMU) for a variety of reasons, including the location of its campus, because I was offered a full scholarship, and of course, because of the pharmacy program. Moreover, I believe that I am the ideal candidate for being a part of FAMU’s pharmacy program. To begin, FAMU is located in Tallahassee, Florida, a city that I had wanted to attend college in since I was in elementary school. Tallahassee is a city of containing and surrounded by many events and opportunities, so no matter your preferred “scene,” you are likely to be able to find something you do. Another upside to FAMU’s location is that it also places me very close to my mother and the rest of my maternal family, who I had previously not gotten to see almost since elementary school.…
