The route to gaining a higher education can appear as a rough unpaved road that only can be paved by our determination, so we can safely travel to meet our goals. The goal I am going to achieve as I pace my road is finish with a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology with an emphasis in Archaeology. I am currently in my third 3 year of my endeavor of achieving this goal. Throughout this time my worldview and way of thinking has been broken down and rebuilt to reflection the enlightenment and understanding for the world I have gained during my college career. The education goals I have made for myself are aimed to further this understanding. By majoring in Anthropology, I have been focusing on understanding the meaning of the human condition.

In order to get the most of my degree, I am going this summer’s archaeology field school. Going to this field school would give the skills I need to advance in an archaeological career. With the credits I earn from field school would allow me to finish my time here at Idaho State University much earlier than I expected, and learn the invaluable skills that define an archaeologist. Despite all the good that going to field school would be for me and my future career, it one of the most expensive elements of my education. After I attend field school this summer, all my saving from the last three will be gone. I would be unable to pay for the fall semesters books and necessities. Recently I have taken on a small paid internship with the Idaho Museum of Natural History, but I’m afraid I will not earn enough for the coming semesters. This is where this scholarship comes in for me. If I were to receive this scholarship I would be able to pay for the materials I need for the upcoming semester. I would not have to worry about the expensive of this summer’s field school, and learn the skills I need in order to continue with my archaeological

    There are few decisions in life that will affect you as profoundly as the decision to seek higher education. The degree you earn is both a ticket to personal and professional fulfillment and a badge representing hard work and dedication. The world is built by people who have trusted to their own unshaken will in hope and in despair. Those are the heroes, the idealists who amidst the gulf of solitude more isolating than that, which surrounds a dying man, could think great about their future. Their lives foment many spirited acolytes for whom destiny is no matter, a chance, but a matter of choice and it is nothing to be waited for, but a thing to be achieved. I wish to place as one among them.

    As a child I did not know a lot about college. None of the adults in my life had been to College, my family did not talk about it, and it seemed like a distant land that I heard about only in movies and on Television. I was first introduced to college when my third grade class took a field trip to Iowa State University, clearly a much needed field trip considering my lack of exposure to higher education. I was immediately amazed by the grand architecture and massive buildings. I had never seen anything like a University campus before. The few things that I remember about the trip were that everything was big, the college students played with us, and we got to swim in the pool. While the larger purpose of the field trip may have been lost to my childhood excitement of getting to swim in a big pool, the field trip did mark the beginning of my knowledge of higher education and from then on I always viewed it as something that I would be a part of eventually, even if it did seem like a very distant future at age eight. As I grew older I developed other reasons for wanting to attend colle...

    Throughout this course, I have experienced many different forms of personal growth, but I would say the two major areas were open-mindedness and research skills. Before this course, I alway thought my lifestyle was the correct way to live because it seemed to work very well for me. However, after learning more about the Aboriginal way of life, I have become much more open-minded to other lifestyles and cultures. I no longer think of my lifestyle as being correct, but I recognize this lifestyle is fulfilling and best for me, while another culture or way of life can make someone else just as happy and be just as fulfilling for them. Therefore, I’ve grown to be more open minded and

It was interesting to understand all there is now in days to learn when you’re there. College isn’t always a harmful idea to think about going into either.
