According to the dictionary, a journalist is defined as 'a person who keeps a journal, diary, or other record of daily events'. This is merely a frank definition that can expand into a more in depth description. A journalist is a passionate writer who searches throughout the world to stumble across stories or events to educate, evaluate, uncover, or trigger people's interests and emotions. Journalists have the ability to reform a bland situation and publish a masterpiece that keeps their audience intrigued and educated. A million words cannot convey my enthusiasm and passion for Journalism and I have long waited to cease this opportunity to join University of Central Florida's Journalism program to fulfill my life dream.
My family environment has influenced me to obtain the maturity and confidence I will need to succeed through any challenging obstacles that I will face throughout life. For an example, my four cousins have helped me reform my attitude and showed me how my actions and usage of common sense play an essential role in and out of school. From their prime examples I have learned to conduct myself as a young adult who shows nothing but responsibility throughout my actions. My family environment has produced such a grand influence on me that it has allowed me to strive for the best and always perform as a leader. However, more specifically, my mother is the woman I truly look up to, not only as the woman who birthed me, but also as the woman who fashioned who I am as a person.
My mother has always led me step-by-step down the path to success and constantly motivates me to give my all in anything I do. Regardless if I am running on the track or preparing myself for a presentation, she has always encouraged me to try. Entering Stanton College Prep. was a huge challenge for me because I always wanted to become a blue devil, however, I never gained the confidence in myself to believe I could maintain proper grades. I always tried to reassure my mom that I could handle the work on my own and I did not need her guidance any longer. I found myself apologizing and pleading for her guidance. Every night she would sit at the table, pull out my books and assignments, and begin helping me with my work. There were numerous times were I wanted to refrain from such strict work, however, she forbid me to quit. Also, she taught me how to manage my time given with multiple subjects to study for, she demonstrated how not procrastinate, and she instilled such famous words in my head "I never finished college, but I want to see my only daughter graduate and live a regretful life". I cannot thank her enough for providing for me as a parent, but also performing as my personal tutor. With her assistants I have overcome my fears and grew a tremendous amount of confidence that I no longer run from challenges, I progress over them with ease.
Therefore, I am applying to University of Central Florida because I have the passion, courage, independence, and confidence that Journalism will require of me. I seek no better knowledge that only this school alone can provide me with and I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve my goal. University of Central Florida is a diverse school where anyone can gain the proper education and graduate with the career of their dreams. I hope that I am able to demonstrate my characteristics and guidance as I enter into the school as a freshman.
