College is one of the periods of life where there is most growth, both personally and academically. Going to college is a very challenging yet rewarding experience. It brings people out of their comfort zones personally, whereas academically, people get to focus more on what they are good at. In my case, it will be a challenge to adapt to the college environment at the same time that it will be very comfortable to finally study subjects that truly interest me. This exciting challenge is the main reason I want to go to college. Most people want to go to college to get a degree and earn a lot of money, which leads them to more expensive and selective colleges. I, on the other hand, intend to focus more on the course and the subjects I will study.…

Every year a class of high school seniors graduate and then begin their lives as adults. While the choices they made in high school are important, the choices they make after this will be of the utmost importance. A decision of how to start their lives as adults either joining the workforce, the armed forces, or attending college are the choices they have to make. A lot goes into which direction the student will steer his or her life. Pressures of going to college come from not only school teachers, but family, friends, and peers also. Teachers tell their students that college is the best way to go if they want to succeed in life, as many careers require further education beyond that of a high school diploma. Parents are always glad to see…

Being an ambassador’s son, I believe it is the most fortunate and life-changing parents’ job that any kid could dream. I had the occasion to travel and live in lots of diverse places. Since I was seven years old I lived in eight different countries. My father was assigned to stay at a certain place for at least 6 months. During this time I would spend most of my time in a very rigorous and restricted international school for just diplomats’ children. The classes were taught in French and in English. Most of the time, I would be many days inside school without having any contact of the outside world. But in one trip, I had the opportunity to really have contact with the native people, see the true culture and the life style of the country. It was in 2007, when my father was assigned to manage the Brazilian Embassy in Riyadh, the largest and the capital city of Saudi Arabia.…

Even as a fifth grader, I remember a prompt on a state test asking “Describe your lifetime goals and how you will achieve them.” This question is asked throughout our lives in different variations but the point remains the same. What are you going to do with your life? Asking me this prompt throughout my years in high school would have given you 4 completely different answers. Just a couple months ago I would have given you a different answer than I would have now and I’m sure a similar story can be said for almost any student. Lifetime goals evolve as we mature and grow throughout life, and my high school career reflects these changes.…
America is a part of the global economy which involves American and foreign interaction. Having language barriers can be a burden when it comes to foreign interest.
