Recommended: Motivation letter

I have wanted to attend Boston University for many years, for a multitude of reasons. The city of Boston has always attracted me due to its diversity, culture, and overall beautiful scenery. I have visited the city numerous times and I seem to fall in love with it ,each time. The memories of walking on the ancient, cobblestone streets ,and eating cannolis in Franklin Park, will stay with me for a lifetime.The idea to be able to attend this university, and make more of these memories would be an amazing experience. Another attraction to Boston University, is the fact that my mother attended the school for her undergraduate degree. This school holds sentimental value for my mother and I, and following in her footsteps would mean a great deal.

  • Why Should A Student Attend An Hbcu

    2121 Words  | 5 Pages

    Why should a student attend an HBCU, some may ask. Those considering attending college should attend an HBCU no matter what their race or ethnicity may be. Many people think HBCUs are only African American colleges due to what the acronym stands for, Historically Black Colleges and Universities. According to CollegeXpress, “HBCUs do primarily serve African American students, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to have a limited cultural experience. On the contrary, people from all over the world come to the United States to attend HBCUs, which results in diverse student bodies.”(1) Anyone can attend and sometimes when an individual is not black and decides to attend an HBCU, scholarships are given because they want to show that they are willing to accept anyone, regardless of their race. Some HBCUs that are listed as being the best are: Hampton University, Howard University, Morehouse College, and Spelman College, but they are just a few of many out there to attend. There are also several famous people who attended HBCUs: Jesse Jackson, Wanda Sykes, Samuel Jackson, Toni Morrison, and Oprah Winfrey. Many students that have attended an HBCU love the friendly environment, the diversity, and the knowledge gained. If a student is not financially stable, the HBCU is willing to work out payment arrangements and help out in an effort for the student to receive the education that they deserve. It appears that a large portion of those that attend Virginia Union University came because of the cultural experience or because someone in their family attended and they want to continue the legacy. There are over 100 HBCUs in the world, which include public, private, two year, and four year institutions. Most HBCUs have small class siz...

    I feel the Suffolk University can lay the groundwork for making these dreams a reality. Regretfully, when I entered high school, I did not realize how hard I had to work to get what I wanted. I went to my classes, did my work, but never really pushed myself to my full potential. I thought that as long as I graduated with decent grades I would be able to get into college and really focus then. But as high school quickly came to an end, I realized that I was not as well prepared for college, as I would have liked.

  • Honors College Personal Statement

    473 Words  | 1 Pages

    The sense of community established through the Honors College residential dorms would influence me to aid my fellow college students in challenging topics which I may already understand. This would create a sense of communal learning that many colleges lack, due to the competitive nature of the university. In this way, I along with my peers would both be able to reach our academic potential. Additionally, priority that I would obtain for undergraduate research would allow me to not only benefit from an increased understanding of science but would allow me to contribute to the research community. Through a prolonged experience in scientific research from my freshman year onward, I would be able to make many innovative contributions to the research that I would be working on. Furthermore, the Honors College would foster my leadership qualities. As an honors student, I would be among others who are as academically talented as I am. Being constantly surrounded by those of similar academic talent would push me to be a leader to those who may be struggling in the collegiate environment. I would be able to do this through either creating or joining a student run tutoring service that would allow me to tutor struggling students in a subject that I had already successfully

  • Personal Narrative: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

    As the school to one of the greatest and impactful leaders of our time, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., having the opportunity to study in the same environment as Dr. King would be an honor for me. It is almost mind-blowing to learn that this was the school where Dr. King was inspired to begin his path towards the civil rights movement with non-violence. Ever since I was young, I have always had this strong sense of justice, to become someone who was not afraid of change or to make a difference. For that reason I deeply admire the work and drive of these type of leaders such as Ida. B. Wells, Gloria Steinem, and of course Coretta Scott King and Dr. King himself. Although I plan to study in mathematics and science, social and ethic issues are also

  • College Admissions Essay: My Life At Rutgers University

    668 Words  | 2 Pages

    At Rutgers University I will be a full time student and participate in numerous clubs and groups relevant to my field of education. Over the summer, I volunteered to help out my friends fraternity (Phi Psi) with different events. The welcoming I received from my friends fraternity brothers felt like I was part of the fraternity myself. Everyone was approachable and treated me like I was family which made me feel like a Scarlet Knight. This astonished me because even though I wasn't attending Rutgers University I still felt like I was expanding and diversifying my network. The educational freedom, student body, and campus life at Rutgers University will help me to excel in my personal life as well as in my field of study. Being a transfer student from Mercer County Community College while having completed 60+ credits already puts me ahead of both of my parents academically, whom never had the freedom to go to college like I did. Being the first one in my family to attend college can definitely feel nerve wracking but it is also undoubtedly the main reason why I push myself to achieve greatness. I think that everyone living in our era in time has the contingency and convenience to go out and pursue
