Alright, one more time, she insisted. My younger sister persisted, so I threw her another ball. We played baseball for hours in the afternoon heat, our sweat drenching our clothes, parching us and making dinner sound all the more inviting. As the sun set, I pondered her progress.
You've learned a lot today, haven't you?" I called out. As the ball landed squarely in her glove, I smiled, knowing that our work was done and we could head inside heartily in time for dinner.
I had been teaching her how to catch for weeks, since she was trying out for her junior varsity team. Like me, my sister's heart was set on playing to her optimal ability, maximizing her innate talents. Our natural rapport inspired me and eventually led to my interest in pursuing an Associate's Degree in Physical and Health Education. A natural athlete, I also tended to be more patient than most people and truly enjoyed the process of teaching and watching other people learn and grow. My feeling of satisfaction intensified when I worked long and hard with someone like my sister, someone who put her heart into her sport and tried her best to overcome obstacles like low self-esteem and anxiety.
When I first entered Brookdale Community College, I knew I wanted to eventually teach physical education because I had a knack for both teaching and for sports. As I understood more about what the profession entailed, I became more passionate about pursuing my goals, for I realized that I could make a difference in people's lives. Working with my sister is something I probably would have done anyway, but the notion that I could assist other students push their limits and excel athletically sparked my desire to obtain a higher degree. Therefore, I am seeking admission to Kean University's Physical and Health Education and Teaching program. My immediate goals are to work with the staff and faculty at Kean to glean as much as possible about the basics of the field, while my long-term goals are to secure a professional position with an educational institution so that I can help kids like my sister live healthy, productive lives. I believe my academic credentials and transcript will speak for themselves and will illustrate that I am uniquely qualified to meet the rigorous standards of the program. Thank you for your consideration.
Education on managing or eliminating debt early in one's professional life should also be combined with realistic education on the state of the economy and the impact which this has levied on personal opportunities for financial comfort. To this point, individuals are not finding the jobs for which their education has qualified them, are not achieving a pay commensurate to what they anticipate are their living requirements and are unable
Federal admission issues Before one can even consider the issue of whether or not illegal immigrants should be eligible for financial aid, one must first investigate whether or not these students are even permitted to attend American institutes of higher education. Like the other questions addressed in this paper, there is no clear answer to this question. At this time, there is no federal law prohibiting illegal immigrants from attending institutes
College Drinking There are many stereotypes regarding college life and these stereotypes inform students, rightly or wrongly about ways to behave while attending school. Regardless of whether these stereotypical behaviors are detrimental or beneficial, you see them repeated by students in all regions and most ages. Films and television programs all feature certain aspects of college which are then repeated over and over again, regardless of the frequency they actually occur
College of Central Florida has only one sustainable source of competitive advantage, which is government funding that allows it to be a cost leader, while still offering high quality programs. Other advantages are perhaps less sustainable, but the school has been able to carve out a niche in the competitive market for higher education in central Florida. Its location serves people in a specific geographical region, and its programs are
She is testimony to the fact that human beings, even if their bodies may be slaughtered, cannot die, so long as they strive to make lasting legacies of their lives. Even after Anne perished in a concentration camp, her day-to-day chronicle of her life, encompassing everything from her first menstruation to the careful watch the Secret Annex dwellers kept upon the doings of the war, lives on. Often, I too
College Decision Choosing a college is a big decision. It is not always an easy decision, particularly when one is in high school. It can be difficult for a teenager to see "the big picture" and to effectively plan for the future. One's choice of college can have a major impact on the rest of one's life. The decision has to be made carefully, after much consideration, and with as much
