“I wasn’t accepted! What am I supposed to do now?” I’m sure many students cried as they yelled these words after receiving a denial letter from the admissions department at San Diego State University in the past few weeks. I myself included. Not knowing what the next step is going to be after being denied acceptance by your dream school can be an anxious and stressful time. That is why I need to make sure I exhaust all possible avenues to make my dream come true of attending San Diego State University (SDSU).
I am writing today to urge you to reconsider me for admission to San Diego State University School of Art and Design beginning August 2017. I am especially interested in the opportunity to attend SDSU’s School of Art and Design for several

The schools I am deciding amongst (San Jose State University, Sacramento State University, and Arizona State University) are all respected institutions of higher learning. Additionally, I feel confident that my desire to succeed and do the best I possibly can will further guarantee a positive college experience. Throughout my high school years, I have grown personally and gained a better understanding of the importance of being a leader, positive role-model, and giving back to our community. As a leader of our high school student body, I organized school wide events, one of those being the school-wide campus blood drive. While maintaining my direction, flexibility, and good communication, this event allowed me to coordinate, direct, and delegate responsibilities assuring a successful outcome. While many women suffer from breast cancer, I find it rewarding to support an organization by volunteering for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and helping make an impact in the fight against breast cancer. I’ve also volunteered in the Nicholas Foundation during the Punt, Pass, and Cheer with Nick which is a football and cheerleading clinic to help raise awareness for children with
One major contribution I make to Texas Tech is through my work with community service. Every Texas Tech student contributes to the university though his or her actions everyday, both on campus and off campus. I choose to contribute through my actions off campus by constantly working to serve the Lubbock community in anyway possible. Working to better impact the lives of under privileged Lubbock children, helping serve at Lubbock soup kitchens, and corresponding with national community service organizations helps me to best represent my school and my values. Every time I allot an hour or two of my time to plan or attend a community service event, the school’s name is looked upon in a positive light for shaping students who will not only
Transition: Lets familiarize ourselves with what sushi is and how it got introduced into the West.
Growing up my parents always taught my sister and I that we should always be grateful for what we had. Take care of all our toys and expensive things that they brought us. They taught us that you have to work hard for what you want and nothing is handed to you. Even though me and my sister always got what wanted we also knew that we worked for it and that made getting it even better. I believe my parents raised me pretty good. I always respected them and knew my limits, me and my sister had chores we had to do and if they weren't done by the end of the week we would have a consequence. This taught us responsibility and that in the real world if you don't do your job you would be fired or there would be a consequence you would have to pay. Lately I have noticed that a lot of kids in today's society are very ungrateful. They feel entitled and believe that they shouldn't have to work for anything. They think things should just be handed to them without any questions asked. I think I have a way to stop this rising trait in today's youth.
Whether I end up teaching social studies, special education, or a combination of the two, I will be content. I also believe that Loyola University Maryland’s School of Education will help me achieve this goal. Having attended information sessions for graduate education, I am very impressed with Loyola’s program and I believe that this program is in alignment with my beliefs and will best meet my needs. It is my hope that you will take my application into serious consideration. If you decide to accept me, you will not regret it.
I have had ups and downs with my health, family life, and sometimes academics. One thing that has remain consistent has been my commitment to service. I have been a member of Sisters Keeping It Real Through Service (S.K.I.R.T.S) since my freshman year. This allows me to participate in various service opportunities every month. Towards the end of my freshman year I decided that I wanted to make service an even bigger part of my life.
As a student in the classroom, I have consistently challenged myself with honors and AP classes. Some of these include various honors and AP Sciences, History, and English. Throughout my four years, I have stayed active in school by being a part of the baseball and the robotics program. I have also dabbled in the environmental club as well as best buddies. I had the opportunity to manage the varsity baseball team my junior year. During the course of my junior year as well, I was blessed with the privilege of being a member of the Mountain Pointe Robotics team, Pridetronics, and their drive team. During the season, we won both our regional and state competitions and was able to travel to St.Louis, Missouri as a part of the FRC national
I have participated in the school’s marching band for four years has a member of the color guard. The last two years I have even earned a leadership position. From being in marching band, I have learned the ability to look for a bigger picture in things. For instance, something that may not seem clear now may take a true shape in time. I have also gained working experience through my two lifeguarding jobs from the last three years. I have learned how “size up” a situation and see how to properly deal with a problem. I have also learned, through both commitments, how to time manage myself and both achieve in activity/work and in school. I believe that through these experiences, I can bring a different perspective to the Honors Program’s community and help better it in any way possible.
The auditorium lights are on. I walk up onto the stage, fix my tie, and stand behind the podium. As I gaze upon the empty seats, soon to be filled with hundreds of HOSA members from across Area 6, I think of everything I have done to get me this far. Soon, the doors open and people begin to take their seats. The lights dim as I speak into the microphone, “The Area 6 Fall Leadership Conference is now in session.” I rap the gavel and hear the applause of hundreds of future health care professionals who I planned this conference for. For the next 12 months, I will be guiding them on their HOSA journey. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” While many people try to take charge and be authoritative, I believe leadership is about how you can make an impact on the lives of others. My leadership revolves around an organization called HOSA- Future Health Professionals. In HOSA, students who are interested in the medical field meet to volunteer, compete, and socialize. During my junior year, I served as the president of my high school’s HOSA program. My term taught me good communication skills, confidence, delegation strategies and so many unique characteristics of a good leader. My advisor then
Good evening. We are all gathered here this evening to celebrate the class of 2001, which is passing from one important part of there lives into another. We have all had the good fortune to have had parents, teachers, and good friends so far in our lives to point us in the right direction and always be there for us to fall back on when we needed them. It was with this in mind that I began to research for this speech tonight, but as I was considering different ideas I came across a poem that I think contains everything I wanted to communicate to you all tonight. The poem is entitled "The Bridge Builder" and was written by Will Allen Droomgoole.
ood morning, I am pleased to be able to write to you today concerning a town near and dear to me. A great Philosopher once said “Home is where your heart is”, and if that’s true, then my home is always going to be Tucson. My Thesis is pretty simple—Tucson is America’s best city. To prove this today we will be covering different areas. We will discuss the History and evolution of the City, famous people from my home state, economic contributions made to the United States, and finally my own personal ties to the City.
Jennifer, a second-year college student from at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, explains the troubles she had as an incoming freshman. As she describes these reasons, a few stood out, these were the most important. There are academic, mental, and social transitions incoming college students need to think about.
I am scheduled to graduate as one of the students in the top of my class this spring. After that I will be registering for classes for my Master’s Degree in Information Technology that I will be taking this coming fall. I currently am, and have been for each semester in attendance at Middle Ga State University, on the Dean’s List as my academic record is one of high quality and superior grades. My leadership, team orientation, and communication skills are very high, and my ethics code is one that is morally accurate. These valuable life skills will help me to achieve my educational goal and mentor others with an academic plan that will also lead them in the right direction during the course of their
As a low-income student in high school, I used my application fee waivers, to apply to four Cal State Universities and four University of California schools. I did not apply to any private universities, for the simple fact that I lacked guidance and information about the schools as well as the probability that I would be accepted to such schools. When I was denied from my top choice (the University of California, Los Angeles), I decided to attend the best school I was accepted to—the University of California, Santa Barbara. In the following section, I will discuss the individual, societal and cultural influences in my college choice process that led to my decision to attend UCSB.
To begin something new, you must sacrifice something old. To enter the real world, you must graduate your childhood.
Besides academics, fine arts and sports in school, I have attained leading roles in different groups. This year, I am the Spirit Leader of Student Council encouraging monthly goals and themes and assisting in school events. From creating a student council with a group of peers three years ago we have had success in many events and have found new ways to spread spirit, gather important information and assist with financial groups. Recently, I stepped up to be the leader of the fundraising committee for our ...
