Bo Jackson said, “Set your goals high, and don’t stop until you get there.” (“Life hack Quotes”). My families always talk about my future and how it is essential to set your goals. For the majority of my life I’ve had an interest in childbirth and babies. I would always watch TV shows about childbirth, such as, A Baby Story and One Born Every Minute.…
Brown is a place where students have the freedom to grow, learn about themselves, and enjoy life. In all my years of school there was always someone looking over my shoulder, interjecting their opinions, or spoonfeeding me the answers. I want my college education to be my own. Taking ownership of my education is a large responsibility, but I am mature enough to handle the challenge. The collaborative atmosphere of Brown, where students work with, instead of against, one another, will give me the guidance and support I need to figure out the best educational path for myself.…
Being the first in the family to take interest in college is already enough for everyone to push me in the direction to achieving it. I do not want to disappoint them or myself, I want to be on the graduation stage with my hand grasping that master degree. About me, others describe me as opinioned, stubborn and independent. Although I do not want to admit it, these traits all apply to me. Opinioned doesn’t sound as an appealing word to me I should say I like for people to understand my views completely also I don’t mind if someone does not agree with me, it just adds more depth to the discussion.…
An experience that has happened to me that will help me with my goals in school would be my time in the military.

If you waste your time you can get so far behind that you fail. I have never been a failure and don’t plan to start anytime soon.…
“I know applying to colleges is the last thing you want to do right now, but you might change your mind,” a trusted friend told me. It was December of my senior year of high school, and college application deadlines were approaching quickly. I was recovering from a major illness at the time, and wasn’t ready to think about college. My plan was to spend a year living at home and working before I pursued higher education. In the following months, my recovery progressed rapidly.…
My graduate experience will be light years different then my undergraduate training. I chuckle just contemplating the technological difference alone. Back when I attended undergraduate school there wasn’t the internet, the LoudCloud, e-books, or personal laptop computers. We thought we were “hot stuff” because we progressed from the slide ruler to a state of the art Texas Interment graphing calculator. By the way google informed me that my particular calculator at that time was the first of its kind.…

Exceptions before entering the ninth grade are always painted with horror; the daunting Grade Point Average or GPA, the unmerciful teachers, and of course the idealistic notion of succeeding at everything: from grades to extracurriculars to having a good reputation. When I did enter high school the myths were somewhat true, the GPA became somewhat of a religious sacrifice of sanity, the teachers were okay, and the maintenance was overrated. One of the things that was different from the rest of my years in high school was the geography class. Geography was lead by Ms. Asmahan who’s been in my school since it was established. She gave the best hugs, had hundreds of books about the environment, and was known for saying “keep your mother at the door,” meaning work as if your mother was watching over you.…

I need to be on top of things and step my game up in the classes I'm failing.…
This past year has been a long one for me; it came with many successes and many failures. I would like to break down my circumstances based upon semester that way then I can explain the changes in circumstances that have created the demise of my grade point average. In my first semester here at U Albany I believed was a great success, out of five classes in three I received an A, another C-, and lastly and E. I would like to make it fully clear that I wish I had dropped my statistics class for which I had received and E. However, I did not and decided if I truly tried within the class that I could at least obtain a passing grade.…
My educational goals after high school are to attend the University of Phoenix- online. Going online will eliminate the costs of living on campus and other costs. Online schooling will also take the stress of leaving my family away because I will only be minutes away instead of hours.
