I am sure that I will make and reach countless others while attending Indiana University. My family and I have been huge IU sports fans for a long time, and I have dreamed about attending IU for as long as I can remember. Please help me fulfill that dream. Thank you for reviewing this application and thank you for your

While around 80 percent of high school students graduate, most of them are not being prepared for what comes next.

My time in leadership positions, desire to work with other intellectual individuals, and rigorous academic goals all make me an exceptional candidate for the Honors College at East Carolina University.…

Possible setbacks must be considered and purposeful schemes arranged for when the unexpected shows up. According to Deci and Ryan (1984), “Goals, whether trivial, routine, significant or life altering, are part of peoples everyday lives”.…
