I have never been one of those kids who fancied education from a tender age. I loved playing around and having fun with friends. My first day in school was among the worst days of my life. To me, I felt like my parents did not want me around them and so they had to shove in one of the daycares around. I had no option but to get used to the new environment and people as well. With time, I started liking this new place and did not even want to go home. As I continued growing up, I loved the school environment more and more. I saw the school setting to a whole new level. It was not just a place to socialize, but to get education and skills that would help me later on in life. On reaching third grade, I became familiar with the education levels and how one would graduate from one level. As I advanced, it became clear what I wanted to do in life. I vowed to work hard in school so that I would get better grades that would propel me into achieving my dreams. Also, I knew I had to get into a good college for all my dreams to be actualized. Without a college education, most of what I wanted would be just but a passing fancy. The greatest deal about getting into college is that I would be able to learn more and grow professionally. From the moment I knew the sweetness of education, I knew that …show more content…
I have always wanted to be able to cater for my needs on my own without making myself an obligation to someone else. One of the summers when I was in high school, I took up the job of becoming a barrister. This was one of the most fulfilling times of my life. I would buy myself clothes and even once in a while shop for groceries without asking for money from my parents. Having a financial security of your own is one of the greatest feelings ever. You do not have to keep waiting for other people to do things for you. It makes one self-dependent and makes you feel
and I liked it and knew I would be happy if I continued this journey. My journey after undergrad was important because the decisions that I made lead me to the point of getting a Master’s degree and doing a job that I will love for the next few
Then I went back to my first school I attended Malakoff elementry. My pass and last two years of emementry school was the best. Fourth grade comes and turned out to be a good year with the teachers I got and my friends I meet were awesome and good people.
I immediately knew that in order to survive and be successful in this country, I would have to start college. Seeing my dad working hard as an electrical technician I always wanted to be an electrical engineer. With my husband support and encouragement I started my college. Upon my arrival to The United State of America my husband was working in small company and the money he was earning was not good enough to support our entire family. Even then I started my semester with his savings, but I knew I would have to do something in order to support him and my educational needs.
Elementary school was a place where I thought I could be me without any problems. Younger me was a bright, colorful and cheerful child. I enjoyed drawing, wearing vibrant colors, and making outfits for myself. But I also enjoyed singing so I joined the choir. That was my dream, to become a singer.
Graduating from high school and entering college made me realize that I had to concentrate on myself, my goals and my ambitions. Between high school and college I started developing a new mature attitude. My goals and aspirations as I grew up also changed. In high school my main goal was to graduate high school and attend a university. Now that I am a college student I am focusing on reaching new goals and one of my main focus is to graduate college and pursue my degree.
As long as I can remember, I knew that college was going to be part of my future. That is because I always knew what my family expected out of me. College is not only important to me for the reason of making my parents proud, but for making sure that I create more out of myself, as well. With a higher education, I will have more job opportunities available, potentially be able to earn higher income, and obtain more useful life skills than somebody who does not have a college education. To begin, having a college education under my belt is important to me because I will have more opportunities for a job, after I complete my four years.
I hated it. Everything about it made me want to run away. The students, the teachers, my classes, just everything. I sat alone in lunch and I had no friends to hang around with. I got bullied.
At a very young age I have decided what I would be doing with my life. The most perfect plan was tread in my head. The main goal was set my education as priority, focus in studying the most and the fast that I could. That also means not getting married or having children until I finish my education. By 16 birthday I had already finished high school, at 18 obtained an associated in fashion design.
Overall, I wish to attend college to better all aspects of my life. I desire to maximize my potential and work ethic to become better. Being a first generation student will not be easy, for I have no one to tell me about experiences. I am very proud and honored to tell people that I am in college.
College. Years to remember or years to forget. Either way college is a way to find the life that a person can set for or can’t. Like, poverty for a college graduate will be less likely for a person who is only a highschool graduate. People with a college diploma are likely to be more productive in society.
I remember when I was going to start school. The school I went to was called Lincoln Elementary. It was just a short four streets down from my house. I was a little nervous and slightly scared to go. I didn’t want to have to leave home and be gone for so long.
I want to attend college to further my education, be a role model to others and to better the life I live today. Furthering my education is important to me, I am always eager to learn something new and implement it within my daily activities. Being the first generation in my family to attend college is an enormous accomplishment to my family and myself. I will be able to show my family that anything is possible with hard work and determination, and I will be able to be that role model to my niece that I never had growing up until I got to High School. I want to be successful in life and let my happiness portray as a way of giving thanks to the ones who guided me along the way my last four years and give back to my community one day.
I found it hard to fit it and always felt like the new kid. When people would ask where I was from I never really knew how to answer the question. I lived in Paris the longest, but never really liked it there. I struggled in school there, and didn’t feel like I fit in.
Middle school made me feel like I can learn but have fun while I learn. But it isn't all a pice of cake. In middle school we don't have recess. I loved recess becuase I could let all my energy out and see all my friend. I was really disappointed that I couldn't have recess becuase it felt like a piece of me was being torn out.
It has made me a caring and appreciative person all around and I aspire to fulfill all of their wants and desires as they have mine in the future. In order for me to accomplish everything I want in life, the first thing on my list I have on my to-do list are my academic plans. I plan to graduate with my Bachelors at UNF with a major in Business and minor in Marketing. I then want to continue my education by earning a Masters in Business Administration.
