Pros And Cons Of Duke Cheating
I seek an education at an institution known for its qualities and prestige that allows for its students to reach their full potential. Duke has carried its name for its renown programs in which they set their students on the greatest path of success. Therefore my interest has stemmed from devotion Duke has to have their students excel well past the normal standards of other institutions. I realize that each student has the responsibility to take on the numerous opportunities Duke provides, and given the opportunity I will not take anything for granted. As a blue devil hopeful I would love to contribute to raising the Duke name and work to become another successful Duke alumnus.

    Just as the AP course positively impacted me, with the assistance of the Woodford R. Porter Scholarship, I know I can have the same impact on the University of Louisville community. At the University of Louisville, I hope to earn my degree in chemical engineering. I do understand that this degree requires a lot of knowledge about mathematics. Because I was able to overcome difficult academic situations in high schools, I know I am better prepared to deal with these challenges in college. Furthermore, my experiences of struggling in my AP courses have helped me become more sympathetic to my peers. If I see one of my peers struggling, I will provide assistance to them because I know how hard it is to ask for help. By working with my peers, we can ultimately develop a friendship inside and outside the classroom. By developing these relationships, we can learn from one another. While I cannot change my peers’ perspectives about certain issues, I can introduce them to a new perspective, my perspective. By introducing my peers to my perspective, I have helped them become more self-aware as they can do the same for me. In essence, by attending the University of Louisville, I know I can uphold the University’s mission by improving my peers’ lives by sharing my own lived experiences in classrooms. By sharing my narrative and experiences, I know I will create a more diverse…
