Mr. Braaksma, Andrew is intending to share his gratefulness of always having the plan to attend college. Retrieving a higher education has been in his best interest based on the experience he obtained at his summer job. The summer job in the factory is very mundane and difficult. He expressed how hard it was for him to have an early start and the difficulties of the effects that would cost him over time. While speaking with his coworkers Mr. Braakma was told they had advised him to stay in school and chose another career path. Due to Mr. Braakma’s dedication to his college education he never strayed from it, he has been lucky to be afforded the opportunity to enrich his life how he sees fit.…
Eventually, I reasoned that there is a solution to every problem, and the solution lies within me. With that realization, I changed my attitude and worked hard to excel in both subjects. I studied longer and harder; I improved my note taking skills; I made the library my second home, and stayed after…
Even though I was not an excellent student, I have been dreaming that is someday I will be a Doctor but in which failed I had no Idea. Unfortunately, the education system in my country is not sufficient to help the students to define their right path after they graduate. Indeed, after I graduated from high school, I stayed at home for almost two years in order to find my interest. In the begging of these two years, I applied application in nursing college. When they accepted me, I felt that I will not be successful because I have a phobia of blood.…
With longing for a bright future I was aware that I would be sacrificing hours of leisure time in favor of spending time studying, but I was undaunted by this realization. I acknowledged the fact that hard work pays off, and the only way to make a difference in my life and become the best version of myself was to put a little blood, sweat, and tears into my work. In addition, to committing my time to school I have…
After taking the Life Factors assessment, I learned that I need to be more concerned about my future academic commitment and that my reason for going back to school may be a concern. I guess it’s because I get discouraged at times. Sometimes, I sit and think of the reasons why I’m in school and how it will benefit me. I don’t want to be one of those people with two degrees, and no job, that’s scary to me. Having ample time, having a place to study, and having a solid level of resources and support were all strengths of mine. My strengths are very important when it comes to me being in school, especially an online school. It wouldn’t be easy for me to concentrate and finish my assignments without having a place that I can study without interruptions or having the necessary resources that I need to excel in my course. The support from friends and family is another strength that I feel I need to continue my education. The motivation and extra push is what keeps me going. I think reason is the life factor that I need to focus on the most. I guess I’m one of those people who believe that you can success depends on your work ethic and how much you want it rather than your education because coming from where I’m from, the most successful people are the ones who don’t have a degree. I try to be realistic because I know that in this day and time, a degree is much needed but when people ask me why I need a degree, I’m speechless. I think my reason for getting a degree is because it looks good and I’m afraid that I’ll regret it if I don’t finish. I will change my behavior by figuring out just why I want my education and focusing on the goal that I want to set. Procrastination and time management are the personality factors that I will work most to strengthen because doing things at the last minute and rushing through it is a big problem for me. It’s easier for me to work under pressure but time isn’t always on my side so I think that learning to work at a decent pace will…
I am becoming a woman, I have became a child, a teenager and now a young lady, but I am becoming a woman who will succeed in life because I have never gave up. Early college has not only shaped me into a better person academically, but a better person in life in general. Before I came to Early College High School, I was struggling socially, emotionally and academically. Coming from a family that didn’t have a lot of money, my parents didn’t go to college and eventually being raised by my grandparents, it was not always easy for me. In middle school I was bullied because of the things I wore, my weight, and how I looked.…
An education is a fundamental part of ones live development. There are many factors of why I felt the need to return to education . Working as well as studying with dedication and commitment is an extremely self motivated and difficult decision to make. I will discus, also analyze the factors that brought me to my current situation. This includes my background, also discussing my past, present, finally my plans for the future relating to education thus the progression on to further education.…
Originally, I thought that the reason that I wanted to pursue an engineering degree is because of my family. However, I was wrong. Although for two generations, my family members all graduated from different engineering programs in my home country, it was still my own choice to apply to the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto. From my childhood, I was told that my father graduated from the electrical engineering program at the best university in China. So did my mother and grandfather. I was given a heavy burden from then, and once I thought I was going to step onto the exactly same path as my family did until I stepped on the land of Canada for the first time. For the past three years I have changed a lot. I guess it is not only because of the better education system of Ontario, but also because that my field of vision has been widened. I chose the University of Toronto simply because I am interested in Engineering Science, and because the engineering programs in the University of Toronto are definitely the best choices among all. I realize that I am most interested in the biomedical engineering program in Engineering Science program, and I really hope that I can further improve my knowledge and vision there.…
I was a student who was good at setting plans and studying. In high school, I had to put lots of thoughts in deciding my concentrations between liberal arts sciences because I had much interest in math. Economics caught my attention because I wanted to apply my knowledge in my real life and take more practical profession. So, I decided to move on to a liberal arts college. I really tried to do my best for enter the college which I wanted. While I prepared for the test, my health was getting worse and I could not take the test. At that time, I felt like the world is over. My twelve years of effort became nothing, and I did not have patient to wait one more year. (In Korea, the test which is like SAT in America is once a year) First time my parents blame me that I did…
I took engineer my 10th grade year, and it has helped me develop for what I want to do in the future. I’m planning to major in computer hardware engineering. Whs has also taught me how to manage my time. This will help me in college, and use up my time more efficiently. Also Whs taught how to work with other people and communicate with other people. In my classes, I was required to work with other people I might not feel comfortable around. This taught me to be a better communicator and showed me how to work with others. When I go to college, it will be a whole new environment and since school has taught me to work with other, I think it should come easy to me. I’m an easy-going person also, so I feel like it won’t be that…
In this paper I will articulate my own philosophy to my success for years to come. I know that throughout my educational journey I will have many obstacles to face but eventually overcome in order to get closer to my goals. Also I acknowledge that learning new information is not going to be an easy task; but; one way that will help me with my learning abilities is relating the new information with previous information in every possible way as often as possible. Moreover, I will commit to show in my future tests and quizzes that I’m really capable in doing well. In the same vein, making wise choices such as staying at home studying and doing homework rather than going out and have fun will lead me to my success. If I want to achieve my goals I need to learn how to say no, for now education is my priority. Ever since I was a little boy, my mom used to tell me that I can be whoever I wish to be, as long as I go to school and really work hard. I am smart and I should not waste my passion for learning in something that will not take me anywhere. Furthermore, now that I am enrolled in college and have the opportunity that many does not, I feel compromise to show all the great things I can accomplish. Not to mention that I am motivated by my family, I have confidence on myself, I am focused, I am a hard working student; I know that I will do whatever it takes to accomplish my goal. In addition, I can now say that I became more organized with college, homework, and anything related with education. I have always been an organized student and I will continue to do so. Defiantly, playing video games and watch TV are activities that I do once I am done with important duties; it is a rule that I commit myself all the time so that I can follow the right direction towards my education. I know that college is nothing like High School where students usually get away with their responsibilities by doing sloppy work, skipping class and not doing the…
Prompt 1: What are your memories of starting school? How do they compare with Daniel's and Emily’s? Do you also have memories of after-school child care?…
It was 7.00 on a chilly morning when I heard the phone ringing downstairs. This was the phone call that would change my life forever. It was my dad, telling me and mum to come and live with him in America. We knew this was a challenge to us and a very tough decision because we would be leaving our homeland and friends to go to a far away place to our family. We decided to go. We knew we had to adjust to their environment. Mums parents were worried about her future but she though life was big and wonderful.Arriving in a new country was exciting as well as discomforting America is a wonderful place with lots of challenges for me especially English. Because we had come from south Africa I had only been taught one or two English lessons a week and they were very weak and my English listening and oral abilities ten not to be adequate. I will study hard along with my mum to improve our English to understand what the people say. Since we had come we had made great progress not just on the language but also adaptive capacity From what I saw and talked with my friends I realised I wanted to go back to school to improve my capabilities. After making an effort I was admitted into a university and was granted scholarship. I thought getting an admission into university was a good way to reorganize my life. In the past two years I have learnt a lot here. This experience broadens my view and enriches my life. It changed my life for the good. I will try my best in everything, in order to not be regretful in the following…
On having a look back at my life, I realize that it is really difficult to speak about my most important achievements since I believe that even the slightest detail, or some event that seems to be insignificant at first glance may be extremely important. Nonetheless, I will try to define the most important achievements. In this respect, I should say that I get used to view my education as a complex of my study and hard work which eventually resulted in my bachelor’s degree in nursing. I perceive my bachelors as recognition of my efforts and desire to acquire essential knowledge, develop my skills and abilities, especially in the field that I like the most, i.e. medical. To be honest, I can hardly say that I was a perfect student but, nonetheless, I get used to work hard and achieve positive results in my education. At the same time, I should to confess that I did not really like disciplines that are not directly linked to my future job, but it did not prevent me from being successful enough to get my bachelors which, as I supposed, should be the basis of my further professional development and help in my future career. In fact, I clearly realize the importance of education in the modern world which constantly progress and this progress is extremely fast so I need to continue my education to keep pace with the dynamically progressing.…
Day after day, night after night, I do not to do anything else but concentrate on my studies. Spm examination is just around the corner and I have no other wish apart from wanting to pass Spm with Flying colours. My parents are my inspirations. They always remind me to work hard and hange our fate, make them proud as well as prove to everybody that a son of a plain clerk can also succeed in life and deserve some respect. At times, I feel so stressed out that I almost give up and cry. Nevertheless, thinking of my parent's hope and wishes, I would never surrender and that is my final decision. I engage myseld in group discussion, have consultations with my Physics and Chemistry teachers, the two…
