College Admission Essay: My Love for Learning

506 Words2 Pages

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 ...

    I endeavor to obtain excellence in my academics; I wish to exemplify scholarship by constantly asking the whys and hows of things. I will not let a bad grade define who I am as a student or who I will become. I also want to take the most challenging classes available, not because it will look good on my college application, but because I genuinely love the concept of learning and discovering new things. Education doesn’t end after high school, so I plan to attend university, eager to attain the knowledge to better understand my world: and expand it.

  • The Achievement Of Desire By Richard Rodriguez Analysis

    1400 Words  | 3 Pages

    Rodriguez reminisces his times spent in school and how they have affected his life, both positively and negatively; he has discovered that by leaving his family for school work he has left behind a pivotal part of his personal education, which is arguably just as important as formal education. He also tells about how he viewed his teachers much more highly than his parents, as though they were the only people that you can learn from. What he failed to see until it was too late was that his parents had just as much to teach him as his college professors. Rodriguez sees his faults ultimately because he is educated, a rather strange paradox. Without his ability to appreciate his “scholarship boy” education, he would not be able to appreciate all the sacrifices his parents made to ensure that he was happy in his ability to learn. Rodriguez shares with his readers a common challenge for all students: to find a delicate balance between our types of learning. Students who have had the opportunity to have a formal education know this type of balance all too well as they slowly separate themselves from home life and strive to think and be more like their peers. Rodriguez shares the idea that there is so much more to education that sitting in a desk waiting to be spoon-fed information. All of Rodriguez’s decisions, all decisions of students in general, come at a cost; the cost sometimes

Students that can overcome mixed feelings of guilt, anxiety, and desire that can cripple the students’ success in college. Students must propel themselves higher up the mountain from a position that is lower in elevation than their more entitled counterparts. A substantial amount of determination and climbing ultimately leads to either success or defeat in the world of education. Students must challenge their own identities and relieve themselves of their past to succeed. The pertinacious character of working-class students provides a desire to escape to a place of acceptance and understanding. Through education students are challenged to discover themselves and what they are truly capable of, or fall off the mountain

So help by putting forth an effort to make it a better place for us all.
