I am delighted to apply to Illinois State University. I am planning to attend an open house to ISU so I can view the campus but from what I have seen online and read from the students ISU is a great campus. The open campus looks enjoyable and relaxing, from what I have seen in the pictures, and from reading alumni reviews about Illinois State, there were only positive things about the school and its courses. I would like to attend Illinois State for many reasons; First, I am interested in possibly double majoring in French and International business, ISU excels in both programs. Furthermore, ISU offers many classes and tutoring to assist me in meeting my education goals.
As I near my final semesters at NDSU and look towards graduate school I can’t help but try and summarize my time here. I have learned so much about my passion for design and the potential I have to do great things thanks to the education NDSU has provided me. In truth I have never really lived the “real college experience” because that is not what I want to remember when I look back at my collegiate experience. I don’t want to remember the parties I went to, I want to remember the late nights spent in studio chasing a design, the hours spent with my friends and peers working through architecture problems, and the connections I’ve made with faculty members in the architecture department who’ve become almost a second family. If I were to summarize
The heart of New York City is New York University. By joining the network of NYU, I will be able to study at an institution that has a long tradition of academic excellence among private universities in the United States. Additionally, I will be able to be part of an internationally recognized learning network with locations all across the globe. It would be a pleasure to study at a globally recognized university. A friend of mine who is a recent graduate from NYU College of Nursing has praised the program and conveyed to me a very positive experience.
I believe as a returning student to ISU, I had a unique experience in the class. I graduated with a degree in Child, Adult, and Family Services in May and decided that teaching was my true passion so I returned to Iowa State to begin earning that degree. I have worked for about four years for United Community Schools as a Lead Childcare Associate and as a Substitute Associate in both preschool and special education. Additionally, I have spent time as a Special Education Associate in Ankeny and have volunteered in Ames Community School District Classrooms. With my experience, I have spent a lot of time in schools and in classrooms.
New York University’s fervor to educate future leaders of tomorrow, its dedication to advance the frontiers of scientific research, and its commitment to create a diverse, thriving community–these philosophies are what inspire me to attend NYU. Climate change is one of the most severe problems our global community faces, and already, populations from around the world are vulnerable to issues of water sanitation, food shortages, and security risks. Through my experience leading Give Hope with Soap – a global service initiative providing clean water to the people of Malawi, Africa – I discovered nearly thirty-three percent of the world’s population lives without access to freshwater. Even worse, by 2025, two-thirds of the planet could suffer from freshwater shortages. With the drastic rise in these problems throughout the world, I believe producing ample, clean water will require innovative thinking and unique solutions.
I have always been involved beyond the classroom with the schools I attend. I attended King Kekaulike High School in Maui. My freshman year, I was an active member in Interact club, a local service club. I was also on the junior varsity volleyball team and the girls varsity soccer team. I was the team captain for the girls varsity soccer team at KKHS both my junior and senior year.
When I first walked through NYU, while visiting my sister this past July, I was immediately entranced by the bustling atmosphere surrounding Washington Square Park. I was captivated by the way the campus sprawled across New York. My eyes were enraptured by the sight of small parks amidst concrete buildings and trendy cafes as I explored the area. As I stood in front of the Stern building, my motivation to attend further solidified. Ever since I have been thinking of college, attending New York University has genuinely been my dream for years and I have worked tirelessly to achieve it.
Why NYU? For me, the answer is simple. New York University is a school that not only offers exceptional academic programs but also a wonderfully unique student experience one of the most diverse cities in the US. In particular, I am enthralled by the MCC/GPH combined major because it has everything I could ever want in a major. It sets me up for the career I would like to have and even teaches me how to have an positive impact on the world.
Learning and Scholarship are critical values to all students, but throughout my time at ISU, I have gained a much deeper appreciation for the idea of being a lifelong learner. The programs for Special Education at ISU are some of the best and have offered me more ways to learn than I originally thought imaginable, and have inspired me to explore my educational possibilities in the future. Through my clinical experiences, coursework, and experiences outside of the classroom, I have gained a deeper appreciation for what it means to work in special education. I have decided that I will get a Masters in School Counseling and work as an academic advisor for special education students. Through this path, I will be able to continue learning more and
New York City, being a true cosmopolitan city, is the melting pot of diverse cultures which can give me a unique experience of the world. Right from my childhood, I had the desire to come to New York City for my studies and there is no better school than New York University to fulfill my dream. The reputation of NYU is well established. Many famous people have graduated from the university in different disciplines such as business, entertainment, education, law, medicine, politics, literature and arts, most of whom have shaped America’s progress in the past century and more. I am very keen on pursuing undergraduate program in business from the reputed Stern School of Business.
To some, the University of Chicago may seem like just another college with the iconic speech about how you can make a club to match your interests, or how great the food is. However, once you go beneath the surface it is impossible to underestimate the educational and intellectual benefits as well as the community and possibilities which stem from UChicago. I first learned about the University of Chicago at the beginning of my junior year when I inquired for a list of suitable schools from my principal. After researching the University of Chicago, it became my first choice, I even have a poster on my bedroom wall! I became excited about the opportunities the chemistry department offers as well as the idea of the Common Core, the joining of an intellectually motivated community and the ability to make a difference as many other UChicago alumni have.
New York University is one of the most prestigious universities in the world, one of the most diverse, and is located in the beautiful West Village in the heart of the amazing New York City, ripe with opportunities. These aspects definitely make NYU an attractive destination for all undergraduates. But why do I personally prefer NYU? The motto of the school, "To persist and to excel", really resonates with who I am and my intended major.
My educational experience in psychology has motivated me to pursue a master’s degree at NYU in general psychology with a focus on forensic psychology. My objectives while at NYU would be: acquire clinical techniques in order to conduct psychological testing on inmates; gain proficient knowledge in the law and legal system; advance my analytical writing skills for mental health assessments; and understand the basic psychological factors that influence jury decision-making. Following completion of the master's program, my career ambitions are to work with incarcerated individuals and develop a technique to reach inmates whose mental health disorders go unheeded. The general master's program in psychology would be an ideal place for me to continue my studies because of the rare
When I visited NYU, I fell deeply in love with both its tangible and intangible qualities: the location, the endless possibilities, the faculty and diverse student body, the passion of students, the spirit of challenge, and the sense of collaboration. The violet banners scattered around New York City have become a beacon of inspiration to me. Given my proximity to the city and my fascination with the urban lifestyle, I spent a lot of my time growing up in New York City. I was enraptured by it- the diversity of people that seemed to be living in a dream, the concentration of prestigious organizations in one place. NYU’s location will provide me with countless opportunities, while its academics will push me to think more creatively and globally,
As a May 2015 graduate of Manhattan College, landing a financial analyst position for a global media agency brought me into a brand new world of increased involvement in budget project management roles.
