Going away to college has always been a dream of mine. My entire academic career, particularly the last few years, have been intensely focused on that goal. I immersed myself in high school, taking part in academic team, debate, Key Club, French Club, and National Honor Society, where I held an officer position for two years. I filled my schedule up with multiple AP, honors, and dual enrollment classes in spite of their rigor. The summer before my senior year, I also held a part-time job. More than

daily choices, like ‘What am I going to wear?’ and ‘Should we go out to dinner?’. I mean the sinister, monumental, life-changing decisions that are right around the corner. ‘Should I go back to college?’, ‘Quit my job?’ and ‘What should I be for the rest of my life?’ This decision is impossibly frightening to high schoolers. This is when students decide what they want to contribute to the world during their 90 short years to live. The right career should be perfect for each individual, matching their

In February 1976, Gates wrote an Open Letter to Hobbyist in the MITS newsletter saying that MITS could not continue to produce, distribute, and maintain high-quality software without payment.

The men had many ideas; however, they sharply disagreed on the approaches to black education. Washington, committed to vocational education, trained blacks on low end jobs, and Du Bois believed in academic education in favor of trade school. Both Washington and Du Bois wanted the same thing for blacks, first-class citizenship, but their contrasting views in black education required

“It has been 12 long years of k-12 education and now I am in my last semester of high school.” It feels so good to say that. Clearly, one of my short term goals is to graduate high school and go to college to further my studies in, becoming a physician. This goal is very obvious, yet something that I have been very excited for a very long time. Royal blue gown and cap walking across the stage is simply marvelous to experience. Additionally, I hope to continue working hard in my classes, especially
