Why I Chose To Attend Penn State University
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to attend Penn State University. My family has always been a fan of the school and I have family that attends there. There are many reasons why I believe I would succeed atPenn State.
One reason why I would succeed at Penn State is that I always have succeeded when it comes to education. I have always been an honors student; even in grade school. In my grade school there was only one honors class, which was honors math. I got accepted into honors math in 4th grade, which is when the program started at my school. I always work hard in class so that I can maintain my honors classes and keep my grades up. I’ve always worked hard to get my work done on time. I try my hardest to do as well as I can in

    I believe my college experience will be both exciting and life-changing. Choosing to attend a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) is equally as important as going to college. I believe all Americans can gain a sense of heritage, and culture at an HBCU. African Americans have made many significant contributions to the American lifestyle that is known today. HBCU’s high light these contributions by cultivating a diverse learning milieu.…

    There are different achievements I would like to accomplish in my life. For example, becoming an outstanding officer of the U.S. Army is my short-term goal. Being a leader in such an organization will be invaluable to my long-term goal, which is to run my own English academic center in Korea. And I have a firm belief that business related subjects I will obtain through the Penn State will be my guidance to reaching those goals.…

    The reason I chose to attend a historically black college/university is simply because of the reputation historically black colleges and universities hold of being one big family. At other state or non HBCU schools you may find that students feel like they are just a number. I know people who generally love their non HBCU schools because of the various job opportunities, networking, etc. that they are exposed to while being there; but they complain about not having relationships with their professors and not feeling apart of the school as a person. At an HBCU you walk in knowing that you are moving into a home away from home. You know those kinds of neighborhoods you see on TV where the neighbors randomly bring you cakes and pies on move in day? That’s how I felt my freshman year moving to Johnson C. Smith University. I graduated high school searching for a sense of belonging and I knew I could get that at an HBCU. The personal concern we have for one another to succeed is a beautiful thing that you may not find any other place but at a historically black college. At HBCUs students seem to receive more support. I get help not only from my colleagues but also from my advisors, mentors, and professors. That’s all I really wanted. I had and still have the will to succeed and do what it takes to graduate and be successful but I needed that push. I needed to attend a school where people cared if I was there and cared when I wasn’t. I didn’t want to waste four years of my life feeling stressed, overwhelmed and alone. With me it wasn’t so much about the big parties and homecoming events the school could offer but simply whether or not I’d have people around me who were just as economically challenged, just as negatively judged by society, but also just as driven to succeed as I was; people who were willing to help me along the…

    Growing up Iranian American, I was greatly impacted by the opinions of my peers early on. Classmates would criticize my lunch or convey evident shock at the fact that I was Muslim, so I grew up feeling patronized for much of my early life. Eventually, I began surrounding myself with others who were also in my shoes, facing the discrimination that came along with being different. Over the years growing up surrounded in a fusion of cultures has made me appreciate the diversity that makes each culture so unique. Growing up traveling the world, learning multiple languages and being encouraged to accept all that cultures have to offer is something that is very beneficial in today’s global society and something that I will bring to SMU’s diverse campus. Should I be fortunate enough to attend SMU I will bring my open mind and worldly perspective to the learning environment and clubs on campus. Within the classroom I’d apply my background in my desire to study conflict within the Middle East and ways to resolve that.…

    The biggest challenge for many of us is how to balance our studies, work and family demands. While we want happy fulfilling lives outside of family, work and school, we have to make personal sacrifices in order to be successful in life. Since time is precious, keeping a balance between three worlds can be a challenge. Fortunately, with proper planning, balance is possible. Every day, I have to make choices and manage my time incredibly well in order to be able to balance my online studies, my work and family demands.

    I am determined to go to college even if there are some setbacks that make harder for me to do so. For example, when I was in 10th grade I found out that I had scoliosis, and the only way that I would be able to treat it was through surgery. At the time that I had found this out, I had already planned out my sophomore year; I was going to take 2 AP classes and 2 math courses above my grade level. At the time I truly believed that I was going to be able to go through the surgery, take all my classes, and very least get decent grades in all my classes, including my AP classes. However, that semester ended up being my worst.…

    Going to The Ohio State University has always been a dream of mine and now that I have been accepted and admitted as a Buckeye, the only barrier that stands in the way of greatness is the financial aspect. Considering that both my grandfather and uncle have attended The Ohio State University, my passion of living up to my relatives can be fulfilled by seeing through with this dream. With a scholarship I will expand on my present characteristics. These characteristics include but are not limited to: high academic achievement, activities in the schools and community, outstanding attendance, physical embodiment, and high moral standards. My time serving in my school, church, community, and family has served me as well. Without all of these experiences, I would not be half of the man I am presently. Though all of my experience, I have learned the real truth of my passion: knowledge is nothing without humility and a sense of unity. Having the honor of being accepted to the third largest university in the United States will also require this motto in order to achieve academic success and create relationships that will last a…

    The reason why I'm in college is because I want a better future for myself and to show my family that I can become somebody one day. Sometimes I would say to myself like “why am I even here? This place is not the place for me “. In other words college is not for everybody because not everyone who lives with their parents who can afford for tuition for college. But for me I realize that staying alone and not doing nothing for me was the biggest mistake I ever made as young adult at the age of nineteen. Soon as I turn 20 I decided that it was time for me to do something that’s going to be right for myself which was working and going to college. The first day of me attending college was amazing meeting new people and getting to know others such as colleagues.…
