Bernice Paua's Vision Of Pursuing Education

“Research suggests that additional education improves overall wellbeing” (210). My life has benefitted from going to college and has been shown through this first semester that I have been out of high school. When I first came to college, I didn’t feel like I was pressured into being here. This choice was solely my idea, because I knew that I didn’t possess the skills I needed to succeed in the real world. Getting my bachelor’s degree and going the extra step to get my master’s degree was always my plan.

These terms appeal to John’s sense of superiority. She wants her son to feel as though he is better than others, for him to gain the confidence he needs to “do honor to [his] country”. Through nationalism and patriotism, also, she stimulates her son into benefiting their country. She both wants to see her country succeed and her son to become powerful, thus benefiting her. Her son gaining great power and success will transfer onto her.

Money was also a motivating factor because I wanted to have a career that could pay well and secure my retirement that way I can build a family. From past experience working with investors I noticed that the majority of them are vehement about saving money and most of them had a college education. Lastly, the strongest motivating factor was my future career and interests. I have always enjoyed being a manager

The final reason that led me to college is to experience the" life of as a college student". I have learned that college is nothing compared to high school. Being a college student is not easy, it is about learning from others, learning how to become independent and following your dreams. I will continue to keep working hard and get myself a step closer each day to my dream career. To sum everything up college is an opportunity that not everyone has, so being able to attend college is a blessing that no one should take for granted.

As it turned out, that crossroad led me into an unexpected direction. College is not only about education. Most of all, it 's a great experience that everyone needs to experience. My initial ideas about learning and discovering the world of literature grew into something even better: meeting people from all around the world, discovering new interests, and gaining independence through the most exciting experiences in my

Honors College paper The introduction to my college experience has been honorable. I have been presented with a breath taking amount privileges I never expected to come my way. For instance, initiation into the Kappa Sigma fraternity and the Phi Eta Sigma honor society, and now I have the opportunity to be a representative of the honors college at Florida Gulf Coast University.

I think this unit was great and in all honesty should have been longer. We covered so many important topics that should be discussed with High School students to prepare them for the future. I think it helped me open up more to things that I didn’t really know about beforehand. The discussions that we had in class were also another very helpful tool that we should have had more of during the unit. I definitely had some preferences on the books that we read this semester.

My experiences while serving in the military were amazing; however, I don’t feel that everyone should have to make such a sacrifice just to get a college education, which is required by most jobs if you intend on obtaining a decent salary and a stable career. Many students must take out a student loans and depend on financial aid or scholarships to help them pay for their education and that ends up haunting them financially long after they graduate and start their careers. It’s a hefty price to pay for improving yourself. I believe the government granting two years of free college to students would aid students, while they’re on this journey of self-improvement, by decreasing or eliminating the amount of debt acquired; but also, by opening doors for the students who would never be afforded the opportunity due to they’re financial circumstances.

The early college program in Delta costs very little, and if I do the Delta program in high school, it saves 2 years of college for me. This helps a lot, as it saves lots of money, and I can graduate faster. My dream university is Berkeley, and if I get into Berkeley I can save lots of money if I do the early college pathway. All in all, the two reasons why I want to enroll into the early college program is because it saves lots of money, and it saves lots of time in the future after I graduate and get into a

Introduction When I first saw the syllabus of this class, I was looking forward to doing the service learning project as I have only been to only one in the past. I believe that service learning is important as part of a quality college education because I believe that people learn best through experiences. Also, service learning is important as part of a quality college education because, during the service, there will be numerous opportunities for students to learn new things. For instance, I am a business major student but I know about the history of the Gold Park and the benefits of the plants there through the service learning project.

so I didn’t really want to go, but it was the best decision I made. Going to Brookdale was a good choice for me. First, going to Brookdale was a good choice for me because I have met good and wonderful people. I met a good professor who cares and wants to help her students succeed. And I met good students in the ALP program.

However, my plans can only become possible with the help of the Norwalk Community College Foundation. The NCC Foundation made it possible for me to graduate in a two year frame; it enabled me to take more classes during winter and summer break without having to worry about how I would afford these courses. Nonetheless, I am independently working my way through college without financial assistance from my parents and family members who also face financial crisis. However, the LEAP Transfer Scholarship would substantially allow me not only to focus on learning, but also to graduate in the spring of 2018 with a Bachelor 's degree.

On my own, I’ve pursued learning about the Welsh language and culture. While this language may not prove itself particularly useful, I think that it’s very interesting. Along with Welsh, I have chosen Latin for my language credits in high school. I find that although being a dead language, Latin will most likely be able to benefit me in virtually any STEM field of my choice! I feel that my love for languages has allowed me to become a more effective communicator and speaker.

One of the proudest moments of my life came in 2012 when I received my Associate of Arts degree and graduated as the class valedictorian. I realize that for some people earning a two year degree may seem like no big deal, but the fact that I did it while incarcerated at San Quentin made it extraordinary for me. Before coming to prison, I had failed at my two previous attempts at junior college without earning a single unit. It would take getting locked up and separated from society,before I 'd start to buckle down. I was 33-years old when I completed my first Coastline College course in Geology and received an A.

I hope to gain a lot of things from this class. I want to learn something worth learning in AP lit. I don’t know what i’m going to learn, or what to expect. I just hope it’s worth learning and taking with me the rest of my life.
