I Want To Be A Hokie

258 Words2 Pages
There are endless reasons as to why I have a desire to be a Hokie. My primary objective in attending college is to have a successful career in the future. Therefore, the first reason I want to be a Hokie is because the job placement rate out of the Pamplin College of Business is extremely high, especially for the two majors I am interested in: Accounting and Finance. My second reason is that the Pamplin College of Business is consistently ranking in the top 10% of undergraduate business programs by various publications. Third, I sense that Virginia Tech has a highly welcoming and inclusive environment on campus and fosters a feeling of community. Service is a part of who I am and, by being a Hokie, I feel that I will be able to embrace that,

As for Service, I’ve always enjoyed aiding others in any way possible. I find a particular sense of fulfillment when I’m able to be of use to others. To me it’s so much more than getting the service done, it’s about making a difference in someone’s life. I come from a background where very few people helped my parents when

John 13:12-14— “When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another 's feet.” Last year as a member of National Junior Honor Society I learned that service is not all about helping people, but giving of your time, treasure, and talent.

My favorite act of service that I have ever done was through the school’s project based learning. I had heard that the NWC Men’s Basketball Team was building a house a Haitian family who’s house had collapsed with all their belongings. I then contacted the men’s basketball coach asking if my group and I could raise money to buy items for their house. We organized a traditional bake sale, as well as an online bake sale, to raise money for the family. In the midst of baking 40 dozen cookies and 38 dozen cupcakes, I was coordinating with a missionary in Haiti, Krisie Mompremier, who knew what the family needed most.

After many days of endlessly searching, a friend of mine, who was a student at Cornell University, suggested looking into this distinguished establishment. After researching everything there is to know about Cornell and talking about it to my parents, they agreed that this quintessential university will undoubtedly contribute to my future success. Not only does Cornell appeal to me due to the fact that this university is one of eight (but undoubtedly the most supreme) Ivy League schools, but Cornell also stands out to me because of its appreciation of community, location, and golden educational programs- more specifically, the fact that Cornell has consistently been ranked in the top tier of veterinary

Service to me means, giving your all to you school and community without expecting anything in return. At a young age, I participated in many fundraising events with my dance team where we provided a service to others such as annual car washes, waiting tables at various restaurants, and organizing dances and activities for kids. In Junior High I was a key club member and we volunteered for concession stand duties, helped out at elementary basketball tournaments, and acted as line judges or referees at volleyball tournaments. Since my mom is a first grade teacher, I spent many summers setting up and organizing her classroom, and on my days off from school, I provided kids in my mom’s classroom with help in reading or math. As a part of Earth Week at our school, I did various jobs for people in my community.

Throughout my high school career, I have put forth my best effort to connect with my peers, transform individuals, and make a difference in my community.

According to Google maps, right now it would take me only thirty-six minutes to get to Georgetown. But I do not need Google maps, I know how to get there like the back of my hand. I essentially I grew up in Georgetown. I was born at Georgetown University’s hospital (along with two other screaming baby girls minutes after me, aka my triplets). I used to drive every day with my family to Georgetown’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center for my mother’s cancer treatment for four years and I still continue to visit her old nurses and doctors today.

I can relate to and fulfill Virginia Tech 's motto, "Ut Prosim" due to the fact that service is a very important aspect in my life. I believe that I have been blessed with everything I have been given in my life, including my family, friends, a healthy life and shelter. I am very grateful for all of these things, considering many people aren 't nearly as fortunate; sadly, there are far too many people who have close to nothing. For this reason, I believe that it is my obligation to give back to the community and provide service and help to anyone that is in need of it. I am a member of National Honor Society, LEO Club and Friends for Life which are all organizations at my high school that perform service activities in our community and
