My natural curiosity motivates me to learn how things work, and why things are the way they are.  I know that there is much about the world that I have yet to learn, and I am excited to expand my horizons.  I am also motivated by being in an environment of good, like-minded people, who are also motivated to learn.  These people inspire me and push me to do better.  Continuing my education at Emory will improve my knowledge, provide me with new experiences, and allow me to experience different perspectives.

There is an old Moorish proverb that reads, “He who does not travel, does not know the value of man.” That quote resonates deep within me because I have a yearning to use my education to empower those in need. In order to do so, I need to see and experience the world outside of the one I am accustomed to. Curiosity is one of the traits that define the person that I am; because of this trait I always ask questions about the world around me and the people I meet. This is one of the driving forces behind my desire to venture outside of the United States to learn a new language and culture.

I am looking for more than just academics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During my four years at Northwood High School, I became involved in numerous academic and extracurricular activities. As a result, I have been recognized and honored for achievements both inside and outside of school. I realize that titles and academic achievements are limited, but some of the impact I have on my community and other people’s lives is what really matters. Therefore, I plan to continue my active involvement in extracurricular activities while I am a college student.

Students at Ivy League schools do not learn to be creative and to think in a way that differs from the standard. Ivy Leagues are similar to standardized tests. Both examine the accepted archetype such as math, science, and reading comprehension. Neither of these scrutinize the more artistic side of the mind. An art student or a musician is just as talented as though who excel at standardized tests; it’s just a different form of intelligence.

This semester will be my second at the University of Arizona, at 33 years old with a high school education, it is an understatement to say that it was fairly intimidating to be immersed in an academic community of fresh young minds straight out of high school. My strategy for this new chapter in my life has been to reflect on and use my past experiences for guidance and to have a clear set of goals that I continually draw upon for the motivation to keep pushing forward. The act of writing these goals down is not a new concept, in my previous career it was mandated that several times a year I would meet with a mentor and discuss and write down my personal and professional goals. I have continued this practice in my academic career.

Then we are told we need to go to college to “find ourselves.” We pick a school and we usually have no idea what we want. Our choice of college may determine a huge amount about our future and yet, we usually pick based on something superficial: “I like the food;” “the campus is pretty;” “that professor was nice;” “they want me to go there”.

I have a lot of people tell me that I will never make it to college. They see my grades; they see my involvement in after school activities, and then they tell me to get ready to start looking for a job in the work force because that is all I will be able to achieve. I realize that these are huge indicators for college acceptance, but I feel that I have more to prove. I have an unreleased potential that only college will be able to show me. I want the level of difficulty that college provides.
