As a prospective journalism and music double major, I know that Northwestern University has the accommodations for my future as a writer and as a musician. The institution's numerous programs and colleges allow me to achieve a fantastic education, and in the case of music and journalism combined, the Bienen School of Music and the Medill School of Journalism are the ideal schools to develop substantial skills for my career as a journalist, as well as my future as an adult. Northwestern's stamina in its rigorous academic schooling, as well as its high stature as a top school appeals to my constant hunger to learn through the wonderful liberal education Northwestern offers.
I began the intense pursuit for the college of my aspirations the beginning of my junior year, finding that without a proper guide or path to follow, I would be completely lost. I had only looked into each university's statistics Northwestern University was not an institution I had actually looked into-- in fact, I initially stumbled upon the beautiful campus on a field trip for my choir class. In my many years of traveling to Chicago as a child, I had never seen any part of the city so wonderfully secluded in its own beauty. The many preserved buildings and monuments that dated the university's initial opening stood with immortal pride, symbolizing the confidence of every Northwestern student. I knew, at this moment, that Northwestern was unlike any other university. This was my university.
As this was the first college campus I had ever set my foot in, the overwhelming sight of students walking to and from buildings and conversing with one another had tensed my nerves, as their behavior seemed so fluid in such a diverse and starkly contrasting environment. Unlike the past, however, where I had assumed college to be absolutely frightening and unfeasible, the reality of my college-bound future set in-- I was not petrified of the college process no longer. This bravery stemmed from the wonderful experience I had as a visitor on Northwestern's campus, for both the field trip and my actual campus visit. Speaking with the professors, alumni and even the current students was effortless, and I was educated on the college process more extensively than from any other outside research I conducted. My visit allowed me to look at Northwestern Univesity not as just another statistic, but an enchanting experience and opportunity for my future.
I am a student that yearns to learn and develop my skills as an intellectual, and Northwestern's moral of teaching is one that is best suited for reaching realistic and worthy aspirations. For any school I will be applying to, liberal education is a must. The best liberal education, however, in conjunction to attaining a high-standing degree and the best preparation for the future of the job market, comes only from Northwestern University.
The qualifications for a well-standing job as a journalist are constantly changing with the advancement of communication and technology, so the most versatile and optimum foundation in education is vital for my future. The Medill School of Journalism is the ideal college to attend in order to manifest the journalism career in its highest manner. I believe Medill's journalism education suits my needs very well, for I am a passionate student who needs to attain the best tools of the trade for such a daring and potentially successful track in the world. My need for intelligent and well-educated professors to guide me through my journey as a writer and broadcaster is quite dire, and I will find every method of learning, from even the least significant of lessons, discussions and projects.
Northwestern's music and journalism program is a unique major that I have only found at this school, and because of this exceedingly rare opportunity, my passion for music can be complacent. The Bienen School of Music provides an excellent music education, and for a hopeful musician who understands the beauty and charisma music is, this is a blessing. As a child, I had always dreamed of becoming a musician, singing in front of the mirror and for elementary school music concerts. I now participate in various choirs, and hope to continue my involvement after I graduate. Northwestern's choirs are the best I have ever heard, and every member, much like me, is passionate of their work.
My passion, dedication and commitment is what fuels me, and Northwestern allows me to work at my full potential, as a student and as an adult looking forward to the future. The old-time charm of the university's campus, as well as its substantial education and diverse opportunities provided for the students is why I will be proud to be a Wildcat!
