Recommended: what are skills essential for college

I dreamt of walking on Commonwealth Ave. I envisioned myself entering the Morse Auditorium, books in hand, eager to learn. Ever since I had visited the eclectic city of Boston in 2006, I knew it was the right fit for me. I knew that the city itself, along with the remarkable academic resources that Boston University offers would allow me to grow socially and mentally. Until this day I ask questions on end from my comrades at the BU, impatient to learn more and more about their lives on and off campus. From all the feedback I have received I have come to one conclusion: BU is the place where I will get a rich, broad background in all my studies. BU will give me the foundation and preparation I will need to enter any field of study.

There is one thing that sets me apart from my peers: my love for learning. Many high school students are motivated to do their work for the big, red, A marked on top of their assignment. A student is more than a hard worker. A real “student” must have a sincere love of what she learns, a genuine inquiry in what she is taught, and must maintain her ethics ...

    School, from kindergarten to college, is intended to challenge a student’s natural ability while developing practical skills and knowledge. I have always excelled as a student. In high school, I completed 10 Advanced Placement courses. I then entered college and finished my degree in 3 years while also completing multiple internships. I could have easily coasted through high school, taken my time in college, and landed an unassuming job in a cubicle. Instead, I chose to embrace the true intent of school, challenging myself to the extents of my own natural ability. I did this not because it was easy, but because it was right.

  • My Love Of Learning Essay

    1393 Words  | 3 Pages

    From as early as I can remember I have always loved learning. When I was younger, before I started any form of formal education, I remember always wanting to know what was going on and being a part of everything. My mom ran a day care in our home when I was growing up and I think that is what may have sparked my love of learning initially. She had kids of all pre-kindergarten ages and she has told me that I always looked up to the older kids and wanted to be doing everything they were doing. I think this had to do with the fact that I always wanted to learn and make sure that I was doing my best. Once I got into school, the desire to learn just increased. Though there were a few times, mostly in college, where I did not know if I was going to be able to push through and continue to learn at the high level I had set for myself. As I look back through my schooling I can see the highs and lows all the way from pre-school to college.

    Having spent twelve years of my school life in just one small red brick building, the years tend to fade into each other. But the year I remember most clearly and significantly is my senior year of high school, where I finally began to appreciate what this institution offered to any student who stopped to look. Before, school had been a chore, many times I simply did not feel motivated toward a subject enough to do the homework well, and seeing the same familiar faces around ever since I was 5 years old grew very tiring soon enough. But I began to see things from a different angle once I became a senior.

In order to devise the ultimate plan for educating students, a teacher must acknowledge that the “students” are what teaching is all about.
