College Application

Learning stimulates the mind and opens doors to a more vibrant and fulfilling life. In my opinion, learning is the foundation to leadership, service, and global awareness. I strive to have an open mind and take in as much as I can on a daily basis. This has led to me realizing my passions in life, passions that have led me to participate in many service programs and to acquiring a leading role in an organization in the special needs community. Also, recently I went to a global awareness seminar at a local college and have decided to go on a mission trip this summer to Zambia if at all possible. I have become actively involved in all of these things that are beneficial for me and, more importantly, others because I love to learn. I love to learn about the world, about politics, about my faith, about people, about anything I can wrap my head around.
An important aspect of learning is that it helps build strong and valuable relationships. Through learning, we expand our awareness, reach self-fulfillment, and construct a multidimensional life for ourselves that is truly exciting. With all of these things within our reach, we cannot help but to pass on this enriching life to the people around us. I can only hope that my passion for learning and for life will inspire others to open their minds and crave learning the way I do. When I say learning, I am talking about going beyond the classroom, which is extremely important to me as well. But there is so much out there in the world to observe and take in. It is naïve to believe that the classroom is the only environment capable of producing a learning atmosphere.
I made the decision to apply to FSU because I can see that learning is crucial in the lives of its students. There are many opportunities to take learning out of the classroom. Wherever I go, I know I want to get involved with groups, organizations, and clubs on campus. This can only happen if I am in a stimulating environment and constantly challenging myself.
