Journal #8

The process of applying and getting into the college of my desire will be very tough and challenging. The reason for this is because i would like to make a big impression on the schools im applying to and another reason is because it will be very competitive earning your slot enrolling into a college with MANY other students across the US and even maybe world to attend that same college. From scholarships to college applications, i believe everything else will reflect on my college essay. Besides all the money and grades, i will get my chance to express my feelings, thoughts, and dreams of attending the school of my desire to the college committes.
I am not totally sure of what is suppose to be in my essay, but i plan to talk to Mrs. Mau when i get closer to my senior year in the college and career center. But i'm thinking that in my essay i will include my past experiences in high school or i could include my passions even before high school. Also i could introduce myself and what kind of student i am inside and outside of school. For example my GPA and my hobbies/intrests. And lastly i should explain what i kind of person i will be when i walk out of their university to show them that i worked hard being on their campus for at least 4 years.
Like i said before i dream of attending college in the mainland to experience how life is like not being on a "rock". California would be nice :)

  1. Hi Daphne Jayne,
    Nice job reflecting on your college essay and its role in your application process. And, just think, you get to practice right now :)

    Try to find a specific college that you are interested in, so that you can practice on a "real" topic.

    Good luck in your search!
