Statement Of Purpose: Muskegon Community College

Improved Essays
The early college program is a unique opportunity that allows “ students to extend high school by one year in order to earn both their diploma and up to 62 college credits from Muskegon Community College (MCC) at no cost to the student.” To me, the opportunity provided by mcc would help me achieve my goal of obtaining a phD in astrophysics. To be able to have earned an associate's degree will put me ahead of other students in both time, money, and college experience.

Both in school and in my personal time i am a creative individual. I enjoy expressing myself through various artistic forms such as writing, drawing and cosplay. I frequently visit the local library to participate in teen activities and get staff recommendations on books to

    High school is a staple of American culture. Popular culture is littered with high school imagery: cheerleaders at the homecoming game, senior prom, and finally, graduation. It is a major time of growth for adolescents and serves as a stepping stone into the adult world, giving students the skills and experiences needed to be successful later in life. However our perception of high school and the ‘high school experience’ is rapidly changing as alternatives to traditional schooling appear. An excellent example of this is an emerging program commonly referred to as ‘early college high school’, a duel enrollment program that allows high school students to receive an associate’s degree while earning their high school diploma.…

    I believe that University of Alabama’s Early College program will help me achieve my college goals because it will give me a taste of what is to come and preparation for the future. Over the years, I've become very interested in the medical field and I would like to become a pediatric surgeon. As you may already know, pursuing this career requires almost a decade of education in and out of the classroom. This is an excellent way to take as many college classes in high school as I can so I can enjoy college and have an easier experience once enrolled as a full-time student. If I was to be accepted into this prestigious program I would work to the best of my abilities to be successful.…

    While at a Community College, I have had time to grow and mature into a finer young adult than I came out of High School. I learned to live on my own and take care of myself, while continuing to acquire training and education. It was also a time I took to figure who I am and who I want to be. With that in mind, I have found that I desire to continue growing at a different institution. While I have learned a significant amount of things in my current college and enjoyed every minute of it, I will be graduating from its program soon and wish to explore opportunities elsewhere.…

    True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…

    My creative side is not expressed artistically such as drawings, paintings and sculptures, however, I can express myself through innovative thinking and problem solving. For instance, just recently, my parents planned a family trip during thanksgiving break to Cancun, Mexico. It was great news, but I wanted to share this amazing experience with someone I really cared about. Straight away it was a difficult thing to ask of my parents to invite my best friend, therefore I needed an immense approach to convince my parents. At the present time I was clueless on what I was going to plan out, but I knew I needed a confirmation ahead of time of whether I could or couldn't take her with me.…

    Nurturing Creativity in Education, published to the European Journal of Education on September 1, 2014, was written by Paul Collard and Janet Looney.

It states that “creativity is widely acknowledged as vital for social and economic innovation and development as well as for individual well-being” (Collard & Looney, 2014. p. 1).…
