Four Year College Student Analysis

I am applying to transfer to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, because of my strong interest in the School of Education. Currently I am enrolled in a Community College that I have found to be indeed different to the four-year college I attended during the Fall semester of 2015. Despite, the many differences, I have equally valued the education I have received. The University of Chapel Hill has always been a college that stood out to me, since my junior year in high school. Although, from fear of being rejected and lack of belief in myself, I did not apply my senior year in high school, but now that I am soon to completing my freshmen year as a college student, I have realized that my potentials and capabilities to achieve anything are highly great. I am very hopeful that my academic credentials will suffice to compete with other transfer students applying for admission.

The most appealing factor that grabbed my attention to UNC at Chapel Hill is that it ranks of the top ten colleges in the South. Additionally, the school is close to home so I would have the possibility to live at home in order to save money since my mom and I are a low-income family. With this in mind,

I perceived to learn more about UNC at Chapel Hill’s academics, programs and schools. My desire to furthermore my knowledge and expertise for children’s education brought more attention to my decision of applying to UNC at Chapel Hill’s School of Education.
Growing up, I have always wanted to help out with my older sister’s children.

However, age being a factor, I was not able to help out as much as I hoped to but I gained the knowledge of how a child’s development and education is fundamental especially during their early childhood. As a first generation immigrant, I realize that unfortunately not everyone has access to adequate childcare services. While growing up I took care of my nephew and nieces during all my spring and summer school breaks because my sister could not afford childcare cost. During these years I came to the realization of how impactful my dedication and time to them were and recognized the true significance of education. I believe that children need to be educated in a healthy, supportive, and creative

environment.
My aspiration is to obtain an undergraduate degree in Education and utilize my bilingual skills to become a teacher in North Carolina and inspire children with the same passion of education that I have. I truly believe that the program of Education that is offered at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will shape me and provide me with an education that will open endless doors. Therefore, allowing me to pursue my career as a successful educator.
