would be. I wanted to specifically study voice and viola. Unfortunately I had to choose one or the other for my major. When I auditioned for the different colleges: “University of Northern Colorado”, “Colorado University”, and “Colorado State University” , I still did not know what my focus would be. I decided to audition for the choral and instrumental department. The auditioning process was rigorous, competitive, and very nerve racking. I was not very experienced in soloistic performing. I also had a four hour jaw surgery on December 31,2014 to fix my lower cleft. That surgery made it very difficult for me to sing, which forced me to audition even earlier. The surgery also forced me to decline the acceptance into the Allstate choir that year, although I had participated in the previous year. Even with the events that I was going through I managed to receive scholarships to all three of the colleges I applied and auditioned for. Although it was a very tough decision for me, I chose to study viola at “Colorado State University”. In the past year, my one main goal was to be accepted by a college and music program of my choice. Out of the three schools that I applied to and auditioned for I had no preference of which one to attend. When I was notified of my acceptances I chose to go to “Colorado State University”. I loved the faculty and program that they had. The students and staff are very welcoming, driven, and fun. My current motivations now have changed tremendously. I…

Yes, I arrived late and my chances had decreased. This would not stop me, though. During breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Mississippi State University’s cafeteria, I would pleasantly take a seat at a table where I knew not a single face and end up leaving knowing them all. We exchanged many conversations like what city we came from, how many siblings we endured, our favorite ice creams, careers we were suggesting, our favorite brands of clothing, and then came what we were running for. I told…

The value of a college education has always generally been high in the United States of America. Most Americans believe that if you work hard and get a college education you are destined to succeed, but what happens when you cannot afford to go to college? Public universities were once easily accessible and affordable, but with rising housing costs and tuitions only those with the most money can afford to get a higher education. Most people assume this is due to inflation, but there is actually…

Our design concept was a three story parking…

There are several different varieties of post-secondary schools for education and experience. A more logical choice would be to stay in one’s own state to attend a post-secondary school due to the fact it is closer to one’s own home and is often cheaper for instate residents. However, this is not always the case. Therefore, I have chosen to research an out-of-state university under the belief that it suits me the best. The following essay will detail the information that has been researched when…
