Why This College?

Many people have asked me what I want to do with my life and where I see myself in the next five years. I have seen this question put to many of my peers and even my siblings and I have found that most of them have no idea how to answer these question. On the other hand, I have thought much about this and I know exactly what I want to do with my life, especially for the next four years at college. I have chosen Criminal Justice as my choice of study and career and I know that there are no rewards in this field unless I work hard and strive to gain as much information on the subject as I can. This is only possible if I am admitted to the XX University and pursue my studies in Criminal Justice there. I am a highly motivated individual who really have high aspirations in life and I am very much motivated to study at a college level. Me and my family is very proud of my decision to attend college as I would be the first one in my family, including my parents and my three brothers, to attend a four-year college program. I would like to continue my college studies at XX University, as I believe they have a very good curriculum and an excellent faculty where I can learn Criminal Justice. I sternly believe that a person who goes to college and completes his or her education, emerges a better person and is more likely to succeed as he or she is exposed to many new perspectives, many new doors, and many new opportunities. The price of ignorance is much higher than the price of getting an education because if you do not get a college education, you pay for ignorance everyday for the rest of your life.

The Homework on College Life 3

College is for students who are just graduating high school, or older people who are going back to school for a better chance at achieving their goals for a better job. College life has been, and still is portrayed as being nothing but partying, and having fun by the media. People have mixed ideas of how college life really is. In some movies and TV shows college students are young and fresh out ...

I want to attend XX University because I believe that college education has a profound effect on a person and his or her life. It helps people choose their careers more wisely and the college experience makes people become more confident and can make better and well judged decisions. To get a higher education is perhaps crossing the biggest milestone of your life. A college education is a very valuable thing and everyone should get one so that we can all be enlightened and help make our society a better place. A college is a place where people come together in an environment that helps nurture their educational and professional curiosities. People learn to read, reflect, explore, listen, argue, and especially, stretch their known boundaries. People who complete their college education can be spotted out from a group instantly. Such people appear more poised and confident in every aspect of their lives. I believe that people who complete their college education are the ones who are most responsible in making a society a better place to live in. If everyone in a society gets a college education, the society can be improved tenfold because of the values and the traditions that a person learns in college. A college education can teach a person about his or her moral obligations and helps the people to realize what it is that is missing from their lives. It has also been noted that people who have had a college education are generally happier in life and that they appear more sophisticated and enlightened. Such people have a better quality of life as they understand more about the world and can appreciate the finer things in life such as art, music and theatre much more than a non-graduate.

I am a hard working and a well-rounded individual and I have been involved in many extra curricular activities along with keeping good grades at school. I have been employed at a part-time job during my senior year and this shows that I am a responsible person who is able to focus on what is important. I played basketball in ninth grade and football in tenth and eleventh grade. I have also done a lot of community service by serving such causes as the Special Olympics, the batter shelter for women, and my city. I have had many leadership positions in these extra curricular activities and I believe that I would be a very good fit as a student at the XX University, especially studying Criminal Justice. This is because I have always had an interest in the subject because of my father, who is a retired captain for the department of corrections for the state of XX and now head of security for XX Middle school. I believe that being intrinsically motivated at learning is one of the key factors of getting educated in a more efficient manner. This, along with the fact that the XX University has a very good program in Criminal Justice, makes this university a perfect fit with my ambitions. This is why I believe that I would be able to do very well at the University and would emerge as a motivated and well-educated person ready to start my career on the right path.

The Essay on What Is More Important for a Person’s Education: Things Learned in School or from Real Life Experiences?

Nowadays, there are thousands of ways for people to expose themselves to knowledge. Getting more and more knowledge has always been human’s desire. Schooling, therefore, is now becoming more and more popular. However, many people think that things learned in school are not enough for a person’s education. In my opinion, what we experience through real life would outweigh things that we are taught ...

Future classmate…Fr. Lawton once said that the university is a sacred space where you find “your imagination empowered, your skill developed, and your compassion enriched.” A person who is going to attend a college can hope to meet many different kinds of students from all wakes of life. I believe that if I were to have a friend who came from some other country than mine, or some who was from a different social, ethnic, and cultural background, would enrich me with so much new and wonderful information. I believe that a relationship with such a person would greatly enhance my knowledge base and give me first hand information about the other person’s culture and norms. This kind of exposure is essential in a person’s personal development.

Studying with students from all different kinds of economic, ethnic and social backgrounds helps the person attending college into learning more about the world and this brings the people of the world closer as well. People at colleges come from every aspect of life; a person going to college is bound to interact with his classmates who can come from all sorts of different countries, cultures and generations. This interaction is another valuable aspect of a college education and it helps shape a person’s personality in a way that is unmatched by any other kind of an institution, whether it be a church or a home. A person, perhaps, learns the most throughout his or her college years and this not only includes academic education but also education in the social and political realms. In this age of globalization, it is very important that one understands the cultural and social attitudes of people from across the borders. This is why I believe that having a classmate with these characteristics would greatly enhance my knowledge of his/her age, and allow me to conduct better business with them in the later, more professional, years of my life.
