Kiara Ke’oluokalani Wilsey, Personal Statement

I would like to go to a 4-year college in the mainland. The reason that I would like to go to a 4-year college is so that I could be the first one in my family to graduate high school and also graduate college. Another reason for me wanting to pursue going to a 4-year college is my siblings, I want to be a good example for them in life because I am the oldest and they look up to me. Going to a 4-year college will not only affect my life in a positive way but it will affect my families as well. Being the oldest and being the first one out of your family to graduate high school and also graduate college will prove to me and my family that anything is possible if you just put your mind to

    A four year college degree is important because of the environment we live in. Having a college degree in my perspective means success and prestige in terms of getting a job because of the competitive nature of our society. A college degree is like a certificate that one must obtain to be eligible for a certain job position. For example, if someone wants to work in a restaurant, they would want to have on-the-job experience or a food handler’s certificate to give them an edge above other applicants. This way there are more opportunities to explore. The same thing applies to obtaining a degree in the field that you are interested in. College to me at this moment is an adventure. Because I am still a high school student, I have the…

    College is one of the periods of life where there is most growth, both personally and academically. Going to college is a very challenging yet rewarding experience. It brings people out of their comfort zones personally, whereas academically, people get to focus more on what they are good at. In my case, it will be a challenge to adapt to the college environment at the same time that it will be very comfortable to finally study subjects that truly interest me. This exciting challenge is the main reason I want to go to college. Most people want to go to college to get a degree and earn a lot of money, which leads them to more expensive and selective colleges. I, on the other hand, intend to focus more on the course and the subjects I will study.…
