Improved Essays
Three year's ago I was accepted into a School called McDowell Early College. At MEC we are able to graduate with an associate degree along with our high school diploma.

    MEC allows students to graduate high school with their diploma and an associate degree in four or five years. However, I knew from very early on that I wanted to graduate in three years. Then continue on to a four year university with an ROTC program. The only problem with my plan was that my mom didn’t believe that I was ready for the mental or physical demands of an ROTC program, but we came to an agreement: If I could complete a Spartan Super, an approximate ten mile OCR race, then I would be able to graduate this year.…

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.

    My first semester at Texas A&M made me realize how quickly time transgresses. As a student that came in with an abundant amount of hours to the university, I feel that each day I spend in class is invaluable.

Cowboy actor and singer Roy Rogers lives up to the roles he plays on the screen by saying, “Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.” I feel the same way when it comes to my religion, my high school career, and my college career.…

    I was born in Germany with a German mother and an American father. The benefit of being born into a German family and living in Europe for the first ten years of my life was the greatest privilege I experienced throughout my sixteen years of living. However, my father was in the military at the time causing for a slight pressure to always be prevalent for the duration of my younger years. This mainly revolved around the fact that my sister was able to grow up in Germany and I wanted that same opportunity. Soon after these aspirations were formed, they became mere dreams that never would be fulfilled because my dad was given orders to either move to Mississippi or Oklahoma, which both deemed to be the middle-of-nowhere.…
