Recommended: Why is diversity important in higher education

“What are my ideals, educational plans, and ultimate goals, how will the University of Florida help me achieve them, and why am I deserving of a scholarship?”

Some enjoy playing instruments in their spare time. Others are on sports teams, take roles in community theater, or enjoy dining out. Myself though, although I am a city girl at heart from the largest city in Volusia County, I enjoy embracing my roots in agriculture through my involvement and preparation for a career in the industry. My father’s family from up north were involved in agriculture before moving south many years ago, hence my growing up in the city. However, in middle school, it was through an agricultural education course and involvement in things such as showing livestock at fairs and shows that piqued my interest in the industry and inspired me to become involved in it. …show more content…

    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...

    Educational Goals: Education is extremely important part of my past, present, and future goals. I currently hold an Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design Media. I have found that an A.A.S Degree does not go as far al I originally intended in the Rochester, MN area and furthering my education will be a necessity for my future career goals. Over the past 2 years I have been working on my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at the Minnesota School of Business Rochester campus. I am currently a senior with 3 quarters left before a spring graduation. After a June graduation, I plan on taking a summer quarter break. After summer break I will either continue on at MSB for my Masters in Business Administration with a Minor in Marketing or transferring the University of Minnesota for my Masters in Adult Education. After my Masters Degree is complete I will decide at that time if I wish to continue on and achieve my Ph.D.

    Now entering my junior year of college at UConn, my academic journey as an undergraduate student is untraditional compared to many students at UConn. This is due to the fact that I was a transfer student coming into my fall semester of sophomore year. As a resident of Connecticut for my entire life, branching out and going to college in a state far away from home seemed ideal, since I loved to travel and be independent. While my decision to travel far away from home deemed unsuccessful, I believe it molded me into the student I am today. To better explain this, the institution I spent my first two semesters of college at, was the University of Tampa.
