Personal Narrative: I Want To Attend UNC Wilmington

389 Words2 Pages

I will not lie to you UNC Wilmington was not my first choice of schools, I was the kid who wanted to get out of the area and explore. My dreams originated elsewhere in big cities living in the fast lane and no turning back.

Love also played a big factor in my decision to want to attend UNC Wilmington but a love much more than that of any significant other this love is for my school. I attend Heide Trask High School, it is very small and the athletics are very lack luster at best. Instead of the person that is ready to get as far away as they can from their high school I have now come to realize that my heart is in Rocky Point. I feel an obligation to make Trask great. …show more content…

Being so close to home will allow me to branch out and experience life while also having a sense of familiarity with the area that I have grown to know and love. I also really embrace the Seahawk life as a whole and have really taken notice as of late at just how much school spirit there is around the campus, which is something that I really value.

The entire atmosphere just makes me feel more comfortable than other places that I have the options of being and when I see myself in the next years I see myself at UNC Wilmington. This would be the best decision for me not just for the reasons mentioned above, but for my well being in order for me to

I personally believe that UNC Wilmington will allow me to grow academically as a student as well as an adult. Being from a small town in Maine I have always been the type of person to try new things and live to the fullest.

I strongly feel I am a very independent person and enjoy the challenges of doing things on my own.

In full honesty, however, I think that I can contribute to this school just as much as it can contribute to my learning. May it be through sports or extracurriculars, I think that by getting this opportunity, I can submit a hefty sum of hardwork and genuine work ethic. By getting this opportunity I can be given the chance to excel at a prodigious and immense rate, something that is not very common. If given this chance I can maybe even change the reputation of the school to the extent that it reaches state or national
