Recommended: The goal of education

I am a sophmore at Gaston Early College High School who strives to be successful. Who strives to get to the top of the mountain and live there. This school is best for me because I will get to knock out two years of college, and get an Associate’s Degree, all while in high school. The opportunity is different… definitely not your usual high school. I was picked because they felt they needed someone like me to help build their body of students, well at least I believe that. I am confident in just about every way. I am a strong believer in being unique and inspiring. I realized that even more in high school, for an example; I thought I knew for sure who I was in middle school… I was wrong. I am much more than that.

I’m an intelligent, success-hungry, young lady who deserves back what she gives to the world. I am not your average teenage girl; I have different goals. I want to pursue many careers that most wouldn’t want. My dreams …show more content…

With this knowledge from college, my skills would be better and more professional if a college opportunity was offered. I want to go out-of-state, but my parents would rather me stay in-state. If I was able to go to a college not in North Carolina, I would go to: UCLA, California State, or AADA. They are schools that I seek for most because they focus more on Performing Arts and Theatre, which is right up my alley. If I absolutely have to stay in-state, which would hopefully be my last resort, I would want to go to UNC or University of Chapel Hill. Staying in-state would be my last resort, because I think being in California or New York or Atlanta would bring me closer to my dream. Those places to me are where all the action happens… and thats exactly where I wanna be, in the middle of action. I have one goal: live up to my desired careers and dreams after college the right

    From the time a child enters preschool, teachers begin asking a common question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” That dreaded query has always haunted me, mostly because the way it was redundantly asked put a ton of pressure on me and my peers. The question was like a rusty nail being hammered into our head’s by society. I continuously had the cliché answers of becoming a doctor, teacher, or a police officer, but with serious reservations. After years of not having a clue, I started to think about what I like to do after the stresses of work and school were gone at the end of the day.

    During this year at Itineris I hope to be able to be able to try my hardest to progress in my studies. This way I can give myself the best education I can get and actually learn from what I have worked for.

I can take more classes that will help me with my degree and not as many classes that are just used as a time to play.

While GPA is a good indicator of how good of a student one is, I feel that it does not always indicate other important factors about a student. For example, GPA does not reflect motivation. I am an extremely motivated student. I always work hard in my classes to try and achieve the best grade possible.

    So when I could, I enrolled in Hall, expecting this school to help me. It did! I like Hall because of all the extra attention from the teachers. Everyone here is on a first name basis, and if I had a problem, they were by my side to help me. I could ask them anything, and they would guide me, steer me in the right direction. But the main thing I like about the teachers here at Hall is that they take time out of their way during or after school to help out me with my troubles ... and I have had a LOT of troubles.

    When reflecting upon my college experience and thinking about how I could have gone to schools with a more rigorous academic curriculum, I believe that my decision to enroll at Felician was a blessing in disguise, since I am not sure I would have gotten as involved in co-curricular activities at other institutions. The community feel and small campus atmosphere of Felician not only allowed me to connect with faculty and staff, but it made it easier for me to become involved in leadership opportunities that I never saw myself

    As far as opportunities go, I am extremely fortunate in what I have had access to throughout my academic career. I have had near-constant access to the Internet, highly-educated parents, and talented teachers. However, my curiosity often extends beyond the pre-determined course load of whichever academic level I am currently at. My high school for the 9th and 10th grades, Northwood High School, was a small, rural, high school that has a well-defined progression of classes that most students followed. When registering for classes in 9th grade the administration said that I would not be allowed to take two classes on any given subject in a year because it would be “too difficult to be successful”.
