Rutgers

Rutgers In life, it is very important to improve in any way possible. During my past four years in high school, I have used my talents and abilities in order to help benefit others and improve my community. Since childhood, I have always been very creative and artistic in all of my endeavors – both academic and extra-curricular. In addition, I have always been a very enthusiastic student and have had a strong interest and desire to learn new things. I have the difficult of being the “second”. I will be the second one in my family who is going to attend college. I have a sister goes to college far away from me, I realize it will not be easy. Without having anyone around to advise me about the new life I will face, I have had to figure out everything by myself. If I am to make a mistake in selecting a college, I will bear the full burden of that mistake. As I begin to realize this, I understand that I will need to find the inner strength and self-reliance to face difficult changes alone, but I know I have the personal strength to do this. In addition, because I am the second in my family to be educated abroad, my fifteen year old brother looks up to me in awe. He fully accepts to follow in my footsteps and to be educated in the legendary land that I am constantly speaking of. As a result, I must be careful in what I do since he will follow in my tracks. Thinking about these consequences, I decided that nothing would be easy for me, but whatever I faced, I would never give up. With the hopes of my little brother on the line, I am not going to thwart him dreams of studying in the states. When I first saw the booklet of University of Rutgers Newark on my counselor’s desk, I knew right away that this was the school I wanted to be part of. The University of Rutgers Newark offers me much more than an education. It also offers me the opportunity to learn how to be an individual who can fulfill society’s needs both now and in the future. I knew that I would fit in the dynamic, inventive atmosphere. Since the responsibility of being the “second” is great, I believe that University of Rutgers Newark, with many students in similar situations, would provide me the support I need to excel in this very important academic community. If I am admitted to the college, I will not fool around trying to get situated; instead, I will work to integrate myself into the campus community from the very beginning to become a contributing member of my class. In a familiar environment surrounded by people who share my drive and determination, I will work to display the strength and eagerness to learn and to achieve in my eyes. My success in the lessons and achievements in friendship will be enough to recognize me in hundreds of students. I will be the second person in my family who attends a college in the states that knows the privilege of “being second”. Bibliography:
