David Wallace Foster’s Kenyon College Commencement Speech is extremely successful for a multitude of reasons. It is not so much inspirational or revolutionary or epic, just simply honest. His speech is blunt about what people will face in their life after education. That adult life is boring, repetitive, trivial, tiring. Yet despite being adult life being unsatisfactory, Wallace always says it will only be those things because of your perspective.…

I finished High School and my Associate Degree almost at the same time. Almost immediately I enrolled in the Biology B.A program at St Thomas University. Regrettably, because of my work load I was not able to keep up with the studying, so I decided to change majors into business, although I did finish with a minor in biological sciences. I graduated from St Thomas University, but I was not satisfied. I had always wanted to get into the health field, so I decided to continue my education with a degree in…
The National Junior Honor Society is a well known society for people that have a GPA. over 92%. I am honored to be nominated for the NJHS and if selected to be part of NJHS, I would do my best as a student and representative of NJHS. I play softball and many tournament/ games do fundraisers to raise money for current causes. Knowing that I am playing for a cause that could help someone or anyone is a good feeling.…
Although you have to be 36 years old to legally become the president of the United States, I feel as if I’ve experienced an aspect of presidency in my fourteenth year of living. Of course, it is obvious that being president of my middle school’s National Junior Honor Society is nowhere near being the president of the United States. But in fact, my experience depicts a quite harrowing and concerning aspect of presidency. In an interwoven city and school, creating close relationships was inevitable.…
My contingency plan is to get a job with my kinesiology degree to start off and then maybe pursue a position as a physical therapy assistant. If I don't get into graduate school, the first time I will reevaluate my plan to become a physical therapist and if I still want to do that I will work on whatever was wrong with me not getting for the first time. I will work on getting more observation and experience hours, also looking for internships in hospitals or fitness centers. Or maybe pursue a career in adapted physical education.…
God has given me grace by allowing my senior year, so far, to be the best I have ever done, academically, and I’m so thankful that Jesus is the God of second, third, fifth, and infinite chances because he has never stopped showing my how good he is despite how bad I’ve been. Which is why I am certain that God has shown me Covenant College, not only will Covenant allow me the opportunity to grow with christ-minded people while I pursue to become a family doctor and theologist but be academically challenged so that I continue to grow stronger in my education and study habits. As well as being stimulated while I write on top of the gorgeous mountain campus and become involved in the many activities and clubs offered at Covenant Am I…
Howard University guarantees their students a very well-rounded education, while still letting them dive into the beauty of their majors. As a Howard student, I will be able to reach my full potential intellectually and socially and strive for success in my intended field of study, Political Science. I’ve been interested in political science for a long time and what intrigued me the most was that I would be learning more about other countries and focusing on their cultures, belief systems, and stances on various international issues and crises. As well as an in-depth look at domestic politics and this country’s government, which goes perfectly with Howard’s convenient location in Washington, D.C. the home of Capitol Hill, The White House, and 177 foreign embassies.…
Hello, I am Trevor Alexander. If you would ask my friends to summarize me they would say I am a medium height boy that is loving, always in the outdoors, someone that can sell you on a product that you are pretty sure you do not need, that also loves animals, and has a strong work ethic. When I was born my parents named me Trevor. At the time Trevor was not a common name. Since I am such an inspirational person, many others also decided to name their son Trevor.…
Throughout these next four years of college I hope to achieve a high GPA, to not be in too much debt, and to be involved in many activities. I plan on majoring in biology with an emphasis in pre-medicine. I will then head off to medical school to become a physical therapist. I have always been known to get straight A's in school and I would like for that to continue while I am in college. Even though college is a step up from high school It will be a good challenge for me to take on.…
1. In your opinion, what role does Homecoming play within the university? In my personal opinion Homecoming is one of the most iconic and treasurable events to take place at Oklahoma State University.…
When I entered the seventh grade, I learned that there 's so many things that I could do with my life. There were endless amounts of clubs and activities to join. At first I found it to be immensely overwhelming, but then I realized that some activities seemed to really draw my attention. So I joined band and athletics. As a little girl band music and sports pretty much consumed me.…
I am interested in membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., because of what Delta represents. To me Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. represents strong, educated black woman that are dedicated to improving their community. When I was a child I always said that I wanted to improve my community. As I grew up I saw how children from impoverished homes were not always exposed or given the opportunity to achieve a better life. That’s when I realized that we have to help our youth in order to see a change in our community.…
So, come high school I focused in on sciences and when it was time to pick a college and a major, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a veterinarian. College excited a love of learning I didn’t know could exist.…
I recently read a memorable bit of data that emphasizes the importance of working in a career that provides purpose and satisfaction; between the ages of 20 and 65, an average individual, working a forty-hour work week with two weeks vacation per year, will devote over 90,000 hours to their profession. My decision to apply to the Master of Arts program in Industrial/Organizational Psychology is a result of my personal mission to find a career path that engages my interests, employs my skills and talents and provides a sense of satisfaction for 90,000 hours or more. In the spring of 2013, I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Science. Shortly thereafter, I began working for Teachers Insurance Annuity…
