Writing Feedback / Preparing for future career and networking with others- Reasons for attending college [4]
Nowadays, nearly all students graduating from high school are trying to enter college or
a university. Every person has different reasonstofor wanting to attend a university, which is the one of the most
unforgettable partsof entire life. In my view, generally people have some common purpose
to do it: creating future career and make some new relationship are two of them.

Undergraduate / Interest in transferring - What I felt I was always missing [3]
Please tell the Admissions Committee about your college experience and interest in transferring to our school:
My college experience up until this point has been adequate at best. I surely do not believe that I've truly experienced college, or the college life. Both colleges I have attended up until this point have felt like mediocre extensions of high school. Aesthetically speaking, Seattle Central Community College shared the same appeal of an impoverished inner city school. My instructors at both SPC and SCCC were as much as I could ask for given the resources of these schools. What I felt I was always missing in my college experience was a nice campus, graduate oppourtunities, opportunities to discover, encouragement to discover, and an all around university community experience. If there is more that comes with attending a university on the tier of *NAME OF SCHOOL*, then I am ignorant to it and could only be all the more appreciative.
My interest in transferring to *NAME OF SCHOOL* includes the aforementioned university experience, and the future graduate opportunities. Recently, I visited my friend at his university; prior to my visitation I had no idea what to expect of a university. To my surprise, students were everywhere, there were a number of research buildings, the campus was beautiful, and on campus housing was lively and social. Students were a part of something bigger as they proudly wore the schools mascot on their sweatshirts. The environment was condusive to learning, exploring, and creating a professional network.
My more notable interest in transferring to *NAME OF SCHOOL* is so that I can eventually pursue graduate school, and in the process of doing so, utilize university resources to experiment and create. My ultimate career goal for *NAME OF SCHOOL* is to move forward to either an MBA or onto medical school so that I may become an anesthesiologist. During my lengthy academic stay at *NAME OF SCHOOL* I would continue working on a few challenging entrepreneurial projects that hold my intellectual interest; projects that I would like to get faculty and student input on. I'd like to be given opportunities to not only share my ideas with other students, but to hear other students' ideas. As previously stated, I know there is a lot more available to me at a university than I am aware of. I would not like to limit myself, I would be more than open to any other university opportunities that I could experience.
To balance out my studious and inventive side, I also participate in a few sports. I've been snowboarding and riding dirt bikes for around 7-10 years. In addition, I practice a rigourous training schedule including up to 100 miles of running a week. I find ample reward in taking a risk on my snowboard or dirt bike. The feeling I get when I'm flying through the air is nearly indescribable; it's the ultimate freedom. There's a saying amongst dirt bike riders, which I feel also applies to snowboarding, "it's not a matter of if, but when you'll go down". I've experienced that quote first hand, having broken a number of bones and straining several joints. That quote to me in a way reflects life. I know that some days I will crash and get hurt, possibly severely, but I know that I will continue trying to land that jump, or that trick until I do.
