When I first heard of Dual Credit classes
When I first heard of Dual Credit classes
As kids growing up you were asked the same question over and over, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Kids reply princess, astronaut, dancer, teacher, etc. and occasionally you have that one who just says they want to do nothing, but play video games. Nevertheless, the answer is simply I do not know or I have not thought about it. Personally, growing up I wished to become a doctor, not just any doctor, a pediatrician.…
If I could go back to the past and talk to myself in September 2013, I would tell my younger self to be prepared for the next four years. I would advise myself to plan out my work and actually do assignments ahead of time instead of putting them off until nine o'clock the night before they were due. I would tell myself to not take honors trig because it was too much to handle combined with all of my other classes, as well as saying, that just because it was recommended to take a class, it doesn't mean I should've. I would recommend actually trying to do the workouts for field hockey before preseason. That way it wouldn't be so bad in the future.…
Ever since I was little my mom and dad have wanted me become a nurse or doctor just like my mom. I did want to become a nurse like my mom in the beginning but I grew apart from it as I grew older and I found a lot more stuff I was more into becoming.…
I believe that each individual's dream is unique because your family and community are your biggest supporters and motivators. My dream is to obtain a medical career in which I can share my compassion and be a change in people lives. My family has always instilled me that you should make it your goal to make a difference, however, small it might be. Therefore, I always try to build myself as someone who others can look up to for help.…
High School and Dual Credit Students who have become accustomed to the laid back style of public high school may have experienced a difficult transition into dual credit coursework and the college classroom environment. The rigorous curriculum and the respect level expected from them drastically differs with that of their normal school experience. However, despite the obvious distinction, there are similarities between the two as well.…
Once I finish my high school career I plan to go attend college and then go straight into the medical field. I would love to take the LNA course next year, my junior year, so I will be able to start working as an LNA my senior year. I have this course of study very seriously and do not want to pass up such an amazing opportunity. I have always had great grades throughout high school. I am an honors student and the occasional high honors student.…
I knew from a young age that I wanted to eventually have a career which positively impacted the individual. When I was six years old, I wanted to be a window washer so I could give people the joy of being able to look outside. When I was in high school, I wanted to be a speech-language pathologist in order to help people exercise their right to speak. I have always observed that I am not the type of person who functions well in an inactive environment. I learn best by doing, and I cannot sit still and watch someone else do it for me.…
When I was younger I always looked up to my aunt. Wanting to do what she does, dressing liking her, and just being like her in general. She was going to school to become an RN. Well I was growing up i wanted to be a doctor or just something that helps people. I was to be a RN when i get older now.…
I already have a basic idea of what I want to do for a living. I have always had a soft heart and empathetic mind for people. Already knowing this about myself, I know I absolutely have to pursue a job that serves other lives. I want to help people so badly, and the first step to deciding that’s what I needed to do involved changing my life plan. Sitting in that chair at the computer, imagining life at USU, I changed my whole path.…
It has always been my goal to be the first one to go to college. Now that I’m in college I want to accomplish my other goal and that is working in the health care field. I knew that I wanted to have a profession where I could help people and make a difference. I heard the different areas of health care professions it offered I immediately started thinking what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. When I heard occupational therapy and what they do, I knew I wanted to become one.…
Prove It Getting into the college that you want can sometimes be difficult and a long drawn out process. It’s important that I know what is required and what it is that I want and know what it is that I am getting myself into and all the great opportunities that will be available in the colleges that you consider. Such As the tuition, financial aid, what GPA I would need in order to attend the schools that I want, knowing what classes that I have to take, activities, and leadership opportunities. The two schools that I am considering attending is the University of South Carolina and Spartanburg Community College. Tuition is a hard thing to pay for if you are an average person like me.…
I want to be the father I never had; the degrees that both my parents were not able to attain. I want to make the people that have helped be proud of where I am now. Including coaches, teachers, and managers who pushed me to my full potential, and helped me become successful. Growing up with so many adult responsibilities could have handicapped my abilities to become something great, but it didn’t. Having a college education and being addressed as Dr. Rosales would be my personal level of success at the age of…
Growing up, my brothers and I were always held to a higher standard than the average kid our age. My mom raised us to be hardworking and strong leaders with opinions of our own. We worked for what we wanted, and never let anyone get in our way. So being success-oriented my whole life has left me to wonder: What is success?…
As a high school student, college is always a thought but it is a thought that is almost never followed by an action. A big reason for this is because not many students are given the opportunity to discover who they are and what they are capable of doing. Four tools that I encountered that have really benefited me toward knowing more of who I am and what my future holds are the following: FYI, MBIT, PSAT, and ASVAB. Because of these advantages, I am now a part of that small percent of high school student that has college in thought with actions and a plan to achieve my future. When it comes to choosing your future career, academic subjects do take a big part in it.…
I want to graduate high school and go off to college. In my future, I also want to get married and have children. I see myself working really hard for my dreams and future because I know how hard it is going through like without a good paying job. I have seen how hard my parents struggled. I come from two immigrant’s parents, both born and raised in Mexico, and both not knowing a word of English.…
