Junior college

As a college student, or student in general, it is very easy for me to second guess my abilities or become overwhelmed at the prospect of being graded on skills that seem difficult to grasp in writing, but I have managed to start college without these preeminent dispositions. Throughout high school, my very strict, magnet teachers forced me to step out my comfort zone enabling me to be more open about writing in general. Even though I am certainly far from perfect, without these experiences and…

Why do you want to be an officer in the SHS Beta Club? Before Junior year, and before being able to join the Beta Club, I have had the urge to reach out and experience new things. I feel that Beta Club will provide me with some vital experiences that will benefit me during the rest of my high school year and thereafter. The people that I will meet during these experiences are also something that I look forward to. Forming ties and relationships with different types of people will allow me to…

concentrate on their studies, and urge them to work harder in school. A college education should be free. There are so many people that are extremely smart but can 't further their education in college because they can 't afford it. It would really benefit the poor community. I think that free education is good for some people and other people could care less. I would be more opposed to having free college at the community college level rather that the University level if I just had to choose…

belongs to the people who prepare it for today. Whether someone decides to go to a four-year university or a two-year community college, going to college period is destined to change life as you know it forever. Some people come to college not taking it as serious as it should be taken, or it actually ends up being best four years of their lives. My experience in college has been very humbling and mind opening. I have lost many friends and family that I thought that I would never lose, got a…

I only graduated high school last year, and was able to begin college as a sophomore this year due to the amount of dual enrollment credits I completed while in high school, perhaps the best decision of my academic career. After college, I desire to work in a leadership position utilizing my agricultural communications skills with an agriculture related entity, such as a fair, livestock show, commodity…

As a freshman, the statement that high school contained the best years of my life held no merit to me. I recall my freshman reputation presenting itself as one commonly found among the introverted crowd; unpopular, lonely, and scared of stepping a toe out of line. I felt trapped by dullness and repetition I’d brought upon myself. This instance rings itself as one of my most noticeable moments of high school purely for my stunted assimilation into high school culture; I avoided clubs,…

step was to change my priorities: school needed to come first. I needed to surrounded myself with older people who were open minded, more mature, and had priorities for college and sports. I slowly stopped hanging out and texting my old friends. I faded away, and focused on a better version of myself. Throughout my sophomore and junior years I…

The past four years have been quite a crazy ride. I live in a town in Queens New York called Glendale, I have lived here for about ten years. The eight years before that I lived in Maspeth, Queens. Glendale is really a homey town, everyone either knows you or knows about you. It’s both a good thing and a bad thing, good because if your ever in trouble there are people around you to help; however, if you get in trouble there are people around to snitch on you. Glendale’s homey feeling comes from…

3. In what other school activities do you participate? Do you work? No, I currently do not have a job, but hopefully by junior year I will be able to get my work permit. I am, however, a member of Key Club, and hopefully this semester, CSF. Volunteer opportunities through organisations like Key Club, and CJSF/CSF have shown me to show compassion to others, something that made me fall in love with healthcare careers. 4. How would you rate your academic performance at Oakmont so far? How can the…

My sophomore year through junior year in undergrad was a time I experienced failure. As a pre-med student, we are expected to have very high grades, stellar extracurriculars, and great MCAT scores in order to be competitive for medical schools. As a neurotic premed, my goal was to simply get into medical school. keeping my grades high and engaging in extracurricular activities were all I cared about during that time in college. This would prove to be a terrible mistake that would only make my…
