When I examine my goals for the future, it is hard not to see Texas A&M as a chapter in my journey towards reaching them. I do not aspire to become president or an astronaut. But I do desire a career path that sets myself into a position allowing me to assist society, while being financially suitable to provide for a family in the future. The agricultural community is a field that has just that. Accommodating the infrastructure of our nation seems appropriate for my goals. At Marcus High School, I stayed involved heavily with band and drumline. These extracurriculars demanded immense time management and a sharp level of focus. During sophomore, junior and senior years, I was able to join the student leadership corps and become the leader of the Snareline, an instrument that requires high concentration in comparison to the rest of the band. I was tasked with making sure the incoming students understood their music, and if unable, I taught them. This position led me to become an understanding leader with the desire for greatness. …show more content…
When I was not occupied by practicing, I filled the time by reading or taking notes from a textbook, whether being in the parking lot, stadium or riding the bus. My weekends were full of a game on Friday night and a competition on Saturday. Each of these not allowing me to return home till past midnight. Followed by Church, early the next morning. Then on Monday morning I had to attend a leadership class in order to plan for the next week. This tight schedule forced me to be organized with my time and level of academic involvement, while also achieving success with competitions and exceptional
I plan to contribute as an active participant within the Living Learning program by attending study groups and help other with my finding/ recommendations. As a Regents’ scholar, I plan to exhibit the values and friendliness of a great community member. I will be actively involved in events and programs geared towards the community goal. I expect to interact with my fellow students daily, and bring the attitude and character of what Texas A&M stands for. I will participate in as many events as my schedule will allow to create a better sense of community and maybe find a life long friend.
The Oklahoma FFA Association has played a major role in my life. From the day I walked into my high school 's Ag room, I fell in love with the organization. I have always dreamt of becoming a state officer, and leading thousands of others. Because I am a senior this year, I am finally eligible to run for a state office position. Beginning in February, I will campaign and prepare so that I can hopefully be elected for a position this coming May.
My father farms with his father, uncle, and cousins and also raises livestock. I have always loved agriculture and everything it has to offer. My goal is to attend Iowa State University and major in Ag Communications. My dad, grandpa, and three uncles and brother have attended Iowa State. My uncles all have agriculture related occupations which took them away from the immediate area, however, their goals and jobs have also inspired me to learn what I can and take advantage of all the coursework ahead.
Sports and school take up almost all of their free time. The extra time they have is used for things like sports conditioning at a gym or studying. “The typical Division I college football player
I will be graduating with a BSc degree in Electrical Engineering from Iowa State University in December 2017, and I then wish to pursue an MSc degree in Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University. My reason for selecting Texas A&M University is that the Department of Engineering is superb, a well-recognized history of academic and excellent research environment. Therefore, I will be able to reach my full academic potential in the Texas A&M University, which will enable me to become a highly qualified electrical engineer. I would also like to express my desire to complete a PhD program upon completion of my master’s degree, since I would like to begin my career with the highest possible credentials in my field of expertise. Moreover, professors,
Before I became a Gator, I knew I had a passion for the industry, but I am grateful to attend a university whose roots are built on agriculture that continues to produce the nation’s leaders and innovators in the agriculture industry whom I hope to join someday. UF is helping me achieve my ultimate goals of helping to shape a better future for Florida with agriculture, by giving me an education that is second to none in my field. It is supplemented with countless other amazing things, such as clubs, outstanding professors, cutting edge courses and so much more through my experience in Gainesville, once home to just a farmer’s college, but now home to the Gator
No one would have expected a timid freshman to later take on the most prestigious role in the music department. Blending in was easy, but standing out was something I felt like I needed to do in order to help the group make progress and stay unified. I have always looked at the previous drum-majors in admiration and I would constantly ask myself what it takes to be a leader. The dream of becoming drum-major seems impossible at the moment, but I gave it a shot.
A drum major is not someone who is unkind, unfair, or thoughtless. A drum major must possess qualities of leadership, reliability, and self respect. I feel as though I am prepared to take on these responsibilities, and become the Brooks High School Drum Major. I am a great leader, I am most definitely reliable, and I highly value myself as a human being. Being a great leader and role model are two of the highest qualities that a drum major should possess.
With this degree, I hope to work for the government. When working for the government, I want to promote programs that allow more students to learn about agriculture at a younger age. This would help young children learn where their food and many other commodities come from. To me, this is a vital lesson everyone should learn sometime in their
“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream another dream.” This quote, written by C.S. Lewis describes the motivation of college students around the world. Students attend college to broaden their knowledge in an environment dedicated to education and research. There are hundreds of colleges and universities around the country that provide great programs to strengthen one’s education. Choosing a college is found to be extremely difficult, considering it is the first step of adulthood and forming a career.
In order to be drum major, I had to stop being a child with no rhythm and become the metronome of the band. My hands carried the beat and my face carried the emotion. Knowing when the band needed to play with more passion and how to show them in motion instead of words was one of the most important responsibilities of my position. I cued the entrances for the different sections and had to know where they would be on the field when that happened. Communicating non-verbally was a skill that I developed while being drum
Band has been a big part of my high school career. I participated in both marching and concert bands. There were many opportunities to grow and succeed in each band. I also did solo and ensemble where I was able to get more directed feedback about my music. Being part of the music program has allowed me to grow as a musician and learn to work with others.
As a long time member of Burnaby North 's marching band, I can conclude that being in this band strengthened numerous abilities. By travelling, achieving, and overall working together, being a member of this band greatly reinforces my teamwork and communicational skills, along with my discipline, leadership abilities, and my aptitude to multitask. Not only have I developed myself by participating in the marching band, I have aided others in developing their sets of skills - the aid is essential, for performing with the band requires a conglomeration of a variety of skills. Such skills include musicality, responsiveness, dexterity, collaboration, physical technique, and mental acuity. Participation in the band does not limit itself to the
Your success at Texas Tech is all about the choices that you will make—decisions about the roads to take and the guideposts to follow along the way. For the final assignment, you will create a Roadmap for Success using the information from topics covered in class and experiences you have had outside the classroom. This paper should not just be a report on the services available to students at Texas Tech. In addition to explaining what you’ve learned, you’ll reflect upon the ways in which that learning has affected you and how you will utilize it in the future.
