I am contacting you because I have taken extreme interest in attending your university to complete a Bachelors of Science in Design. I have visited your university several times in the past, and I have been thoroughly impressed at the professional work environment you and many others have created there. I truly believe that I would find much success at your school especially because of the fact that you have a freshman retention rate that is above the national average of 70.9%. I have read deep into how ECU prepares you for success after you graduate and I am happy to see the program makes it mandatory to have an internship and complete a two-semester professional capstone project. I realize that many students tell you about their will to do well in school, but I have personally learned what it means to put one-hundred percent into my work and be constantly driven. I will admit that after high school I did not know what I wanted to do and thus I didn’t have a need to try. My grades quickly dropped my first year and a half at community college which lit a fire underneath me to find my way and climb back out of the hole I dug for myself. I have pushed myself harder than I thought was possible and I put myself into a position to succeed and …show more content…

I believe that the best way to have a successful course is to make sure students work together and are on the same page. I have seen while attending classes in the past that there are things that I missed that other students informed me about and vice versa. I pride myself on my note taking and if a student has to miss class or they couldn’t keep up with the instructor I would not hesitate to help out my classmate. I thrive in lab projects and group work and I make sure my classmates are able to contact me whenever they need during the semester and I hope they would do the

WHY THE ASU MS ERM PROGRAM: I have been searching for a master’s program that can provide me with an integrated program of courses and a platform to enhance my knowledge for both public policy and water supply law. I believe an MS in the ERM program will provide me with that focus and forum based on my experience as an ASU research staff member, a review of the program’s coursework, and a discussion I had with the program’s Director, Larry Olson. MY PATH TO WATER: My career began as a mechanically oriented design engineer in an industrial research and development capacity. However, my path slowly shifted gears when I took a position at ASU, for the Chemistry Department in the early 1990’s as part of a research group focused on high pressure/high

Growing up on a small cattle operation in central Oklahoma, my parents quickly instilled in me a love for the agricultural way of life, and that passion is what led me to become the 13th person in my family to attend Oklahoma State University. While my background and experiences are not very unique when compared to many of my great friends and classmates at OSU, my upbringing served as a motivation to excel and succeed in all of my endeavors and pursue a career in agricultural law. Coming from a small school, I had very limited opportunities to involve myself in extracurricular activities. Naturally, I felt like a kid in a candy shop when I first stepped onto campus and applied to be in many organizations throughout my first year. I strived

I can’t really say when I fell in love with math. I guess it’s a passion that’s always been there. It’s something a lot of people can’t understand. It’s applicable, logical, and (in my opinion) fun. When I walked across the stage for high school graduation, I wasn’t completely sure where I was heading with my education, but I knew it would have something to do with math.
