Contribute to College Community
It is not realized that all thing activities that everyone does contribute to the college community setting. Everyone has a talent that can make the community college better and work more productively. All that I have achieved in life can not only make my life better, but could also benefit others who are in the community. Hearing other stories and achievements can allow someone to make a better decision when it comes to the point when they need to make a life’s goal.
I cannot say that my life experience can benefit the college community but I can say that I can have an impact on some people within the college community. Just having an impact on a group with the college community could make huge changes within just one community. I stay involved within the community that I live in by volunteering within the community and within my church. I feel that when someone gives, and not expect something back, it can make a community a superior place. Pitching in just a little, could prove more than what was given.
As for my academic interest, it is in business management. I feel with a degree in business management I could bring more jobs into the college community. Owning and operating my own business will allow me to have control over how many people I could hire and how many job opportunities others could have. Having a place where people can have an equal opportunity to gain experience within the work force is something that all community colleges should have.
With extracurricular activities, I try to stay involved with my community as much as I can. Working with others benefits everyone in many different ways. Being involved within the church and other volunteering activities not only gives back to the community but it also gives me a sense of being. Helping other can contributing to making a better place to live and a place where everyone can help others in

During my first year at this institution, I dedicated myself to several hours of community service.

This year I volunteered for several nonprofit organizations, however I dedicated most of my time to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Before volunteering for this organization I was not quite sure how I would be able to make a significant difference in my community. However, when I volunteered for this organization, I was able to tremendously help people in Atlanta. Likewise, this experience opened my eyes to the increasing…

    Knowing that getting a good education for their kids was their first goal encouraged me to work hard in school. Every minute I have spent at Science Park High I have appreciated because I know it is an enormous privilege to get such an excellent education from many insightful teachers. This will also apply to college. Although my siblings all went to high school, they did not go to college and I saw it break each one of their hearts. This will inevitably push me to reach for nothing but greatness in college, to give it me 100 percent and nothing less no matter how hard it…

    My parents are both college graduates. I watched my parents obtain their degrees while I was growing up, and it instilled in me a sense of the importance of a good education.

I learned that with a lot of effort, and support, anything is possible and a person can always improve their situation if they work hard enough and have a strong enough desire.…

    Just as the AP course positively impacted me, with the assistance of the Woodford R. Porter Scholarship, I know I can have the same impact on the University of Louisville community. At the University of Louisville, I hope to earn my degree in chemical engineering. I do understand that this degree requires a lot of knowledge about mathematics. Because I was able to overcome difficult academic situations in high schools, I know I am better prepared to deal with these challenges in college. Furthermore, my experiences of struggling in my AP courses have helped me become more sympathetic to my peers. If I see one of my peers struggling, I will provide assistance to them because I know how hard it is to ask for help. By working with my peers, we can ultimately develop a friendship inside and outside the classroom. By developing these relationships, we can learn from one another. While I cannot change my peers’ perspectives about certain issues, I can introduce them to a new perspective, my perspective. By introducing my peers to my perspective, I have helped them become more self-aware as they can do the same for me. In essence, by attending the University of Louisville, I know I can uphold the University’s mission by improving my peers’ lives by sharing my own lived experiences in classrooms. By sharing my narrative and experiences, I know I will create a more diverse…

    Secondly, being in college classes not only gives the knowledge you deserve but helps keep students open minded and socialized in a college that has a wide diversity of people. Because I was only surrounded by High school students, I didn’t get the feel of being in an actual regular school environment but when I started college I started to interact with older and wiser people and learn from them also. Being in classes with a wide diversity of people gave myself the confidence to be more confident in my own work and to take school seriously no matter what age. By socializing and getting a feel for the college experience broadens the students mind and skills as a…
