UC Irvine was not named after the city it was built in, instead, the name is a reference to James Irvine, a landowner who administered the 94,000-acre Irvine Ranch.

Most of the land that UCI didn’t purchase, which is now occupied by the cities of Irvine, Tustin, Newport Beach, and Newport Coast, is now held by the ‘Irvine Company’. UC Irvine's first Chancellor, Daniel G. Aldrich, developed the campus's first academic…

Southern Methodist University’s mission statement resonates with the same values I admire about a University such as “promoting an environment emphasizing individual dignity and worth”. Growing up I lacked essential self-worth. Upon beginning highs school I was very confused and frustrated person. I was learning to accept myself for being gay and the conservative and traditional environment I was in made it difficult for me to express who I was.

It is our mission to enhance ones self discovery, future awareness and career responsiveness among all middle school students.

These students feel that school is not important as they often become “high school drop outs” or due to environmental stressors, have limited goals and aspirations for their future. As a result, they are unable to participate in vocational opportunities that would have been beneficial and empowering in their lives.…
Having attended a Catholic High School, while not being Catholic has opened many doors for me. I got to experience another religion, while learning about its origins, beliefs, and contributions to the world. Growing up in a Sikh family, I had always been taught to respect human life, work hard, give back, and remember God; a lot of these same aspects were reiterated in school, engraining them in my everyday life. One of the main concepts I took away from my high school was the concept of education hearts and minds, which in my mind resonates highly with the mission of Pepperdine. The main aspect behind educating hearts and minds is that while education in the purest sense is very important, equally important is how we go…
To whom it may concern, I do not truly believe that I can currently reach my full potential at Fayette County High School.

On the other hand, McIntosh High School has the classes that I require in my curriculum. One example of a class that I require is AP physics C. In order to improve my academic abilities further, I must be go to Mcintosh High School.…

You can learn so much from the people that you encounter everyday whether it be big impressions or small. I want to focus solely on my school work in order…
