Personal Statement: First Draft Scholarship

1st Draft Scholarship Essay

I’m a farm boy stuck in the city, Kansas City, Kansas to be more specific. I was born here, but I was raised on my father’s ranch in Tuxcueca, Jalisco, Mexico. I always wondered why I felt out of place here in the United States, it’s a big change from the smell of green fields to exhaust fumes. I’m used to delivering calves and planting corn, riding a horse through the fields, rather than being struck in traffic on my phone. This is why I want to be a Large Animal veterinarian. I know where I want to go and how to get there.
I plan to attend Colorado State University. I chose to attend Colorado State University because the University is in the top five Universities for Veterinary Medicine in America. While doing

    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 thought that they would not help pay for my college if I went anywhere else. It was not until I was in high school that I realized that Texas A&M was the only university I wanted to attend. 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.…

    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.…

    These colleges were chose by how I feel will impact my life after college. The University of Nebraska Omaha was my safe in state choice, Colorado State University was my dream college that was out of state, and my most realistic choice was Kansas State University. The University of Nebraska Lincoln is a safe choice because, I would only be an hour away from home, and the tuition price is more reasonable being priced at $19,297. Yet Colorado State University would be my dream college since Colorado is in the top five colleges for veterinary medicine, and the class size seems to be more on the smaller side. Kansas State University would be my most realistic college since the requirements of having a 21 Act and anything over a 980 Sat would be easy enough to succeed in, and my other reason is that the distance from home is only 97.8 miles which is close to two hours.…

    America’s College Promise Act would provide Americans with two years of free community college or vocational school which would provide equal opportunities to all, regardless of social class to pursue postsecondary education. It would be especially advantageous to minority groups and would appeal to a large spectrum of citizens. Current financial aid offered by the government is quickly dwindling due to budget cuts, providing relief to those who don’t really need it, and skimping on the scholarships and grants for the lower and middle class. Higher education would help to prepare the next generation of workers by providing them with on the job skills. This will boost the economy as the population drives away from blue collared jobs and heads toward more specialized job expertise and annual incomes as well as standards of living continue to increase.…
