Thus far attending Mizzou has given me the knowledge I need to narrow down what I want to do in the future. Since the school is so large, it provides me with plenty of rescources to help me with my goals. There is an idividual department for just about any problem you have. Moreover, I am able to make good connections with people already established in my field and job oppurtunities within the university. There is also the immense diversity of people here. During my time here so far I have met people from many different backgrounds which really makes you step back and realize that life is different everywhere you go. I feel that Mizzou is preparing quite well for life's curve balls.

I attended a college for a year immediately after high school, but had to quit because of family issues. It was many years, and a long, hard road until I was able to return to school. I always knew I would at some point, and wanted to attend a school that was right for me, as well as being a good university . I believe I have picked the right school. I really feel like I am on my way to a successful and fulfilling life and career, and that MU is a big factor in that.

Thus far, my college expirience has been exceptionally intriguing due to the fact that it has showed me a lot about responsiblity and hard work. For instance, prior to attending my current institution, my level of responsibility in school was exceptionally low due to the fact that I felt grades were something that were just handed out. However, once I began college, I started feeling a sense of satisfactory because of the fact that I began working hard and earning very good grades. Despite the maturity I have gained in college, the expirence has also been extremely valuable to me. The main reason why it has been valuable to attend college is because of the fact that I know that I am building a bright future for myself. For example, without college, I would probably be one of the many individuals in my same age group that work a full-time job and have the stress of paying for multiple expenses. But instead of struggling with an average full-time job, I knoe I am slowly building a secure future both financially and psychologically.

You gain a great sence of self when you attend college. I absolutely love going to school and learning about the way things work, and in turn learning about myself and what I like to know about. It's great to be in school and discovering not only why things are the way they are, but discovering why you are the way you are. I love learning about the human body, the food we eat, and how it effects us physically, emotionally, and mentally. I am able to apply what I learn not only to help other people become better and accomplish what they want and need to accomplish, but also to myself. There are not many places where you can learn to help others and yourself. College has been one of the best experiences of my life. I would like to be able to continue this part of my life so that I will not only be able to learn things for myself, but so I can pass on the knowledge that I gain to help people become better as well.

When I started college in January of 2010 I was anxious. I have been waiting for many years for the opportunity to arise and I grabbed as soon as it did. I was really estactic. I learned so much about my self and others. The diver sity on the campus was pretty interesting because I learned about other cultures and nationalities. I realize we have to understand and have compassion for such differences. I was timid to do a group and oral presentations. I had to overcome my fear of being in the spotlight. My reading class helped me with that obstacle that has been an hinderence to me. The college has many activities which I explored such as comedy night. That was great entertainment for a reasonable price. I thought it was only about hitting the books but I realize it is also great to socialize and network with other individuals. The tutoring sessions enriched my reading skills tremendously. The tutoring is free and I used that to my advantage to boost my self reading skills. I am happy to be in college and I will continue to pursue to educate myself after I receive my degree.

I have graduated college with a degree. While this sounds simple, it is. And that is about how far it gets me these days. Seven regular semesters, three busy summers, and one hundred and thirty four credits have gone by and I am now an educated person. Congratulations to me. Value? Well, it seems that inflation has hit the education sector of our society. A college education used to be worth something? it certainly does cost you something! Yet in reality, it has become the new 'minimum requirement' it seems. After graduating with great grades (3.8 GPA) in tough classes (I've completed all pre-medical requirements)? I was unable to get a job at a local recreational center. Not that I wasn't qualified? no, now I am overqualified for the basic jobs, and under-qualified for any career-building jobs. Funny how it works out. Never the less, my plans move on and I will be attending Washington University in St. Louis for a doctorate in physical therapy beginning this fall. Now I just have to pay for it! (Thanks for the help!)

College is opportunity, I see it as a creative and diverse environment where I can engage in numerous activities, specialties, and prosper not only as a student but as an individual. I want to move forward to college to further my education. I?d like to further my abilities and major in psychology, this will give me the opportunity to develop personal connections with poeple in my community and branch out. I crave for a sort of busy life style. I always want to be occupied by something new. I?m indulged by people and giving a helping hand never hurts. I think as I get older my curiosity expands to heights I?ve never thought possible! I believe college is vital. In college completing any major goals will be hard but obatining a college degree is beyond satisfactory! If someone goes to college they could end up in a lovely career! College is filled with hard working students and teachers that are very willing to help to get me to where-ever I want to go. I know it will take a lot of time and dedication, but Im ready for a challenge and a fun experience.

I believe that the most important and invaluable things that have resulted from my college education and my choice of major are intellectual rigor and an expansion of my acedemic curiosity. Both the professors and the subject matter I was able to engage with at my school have taught me HOW to work, and what real academic work is. Looking back at my undergraduate career, I see that having this sense rigor instilled in me was of paramount importance not only for the particular work I am doing now, but for the work I hope to do in the future and for any endevor that I undertake in my life. I now know how to push through frustration, how to look at details, how to see the forest through the trees, and how maintain and apply a strong work ethic that allows me to excel. Along with this, I feel my mind was opened up, while I was earning my B.A., to new subjects that continue to peak my interest, which energizes me to work more and more diligently. Thank you for considering me for this scholarship.
