My BSN-MSN Personal Statement

248 Words1 Page

An advanced degree is a potent symbol of commitment. The pursuit of college education requires the ability to explore ambiguities, to research and to defend positions on a variety of subjects and to express this information cogently. Each course of study mandates completion of peripheral learning activities necessary for comprehensive education. This type of learning is possible to attain independently. What distinguishes formal education is the opportunity for feedback and guidance from fellow students and professors who value learning for its own sake, rather than an adjunct to a particular trade. I love learning, exploring new subjects and refining my skills. To fully utilize formal education, intellectual curiosity is paramount. …show more content…

I have always been a passionate learner, resisting attempts to confine my interests. While this may serve me well at cocktail parties, it stymies attempts to excel in one field.

  • Summary Of Excellent Sheep By William Deresiewicz

    518 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Excellent Sheep, William Deresiewicz argues how college does not just provide education. He continues by informing us that life is more important than a job; jobs are more than a paycheck; and a country more than its wealth. Deresiewicz also argues that even being a quadruple major does not make a student interesting, but looking inside themselves and finding out and doing what actually interests them makes them interesting. In doing so, he suggests how the college prepares the student to be an active student who can handle different situations from the experiences he/she will experience .

    1356 Words  | 6 Pages

    As a college student who is currently spending thousands of dollars to further my education and achieve a career goal, it was, at first, disheartening to read Caroline Bird ’s essay “College is a Waste of Time and Money”.

In her piece “College is a Waste of Time and Money”, Caroline Bird argues against the idea that “college is the best place for all high-school graduates” (1); in other words, college isn’t for everyone. Throughout her writing, Bird supplies her readers with evidence that explains how, for some individuals, college is a waste of not only time and money, but of intellectual effort, as well.
