Please provide a statement that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to achieve. You can type directly into the box, or you can paste text from another source. (250-650 words)
I am applying to multiple colleges, so I want the essay to be more of a general statement of my reasons for transferring. I'm just wondering if this start is headed in the right direction (intro then describing my change of major which is unavailable at my current school, then describing what I hope for with the new major).
Senioritis - a term used to describe the lack of motivation displayed by students, typically in their final year of high school.
As a senior in high school, senioritis and procrastination went hand in hand with my attitude towards school. Statements made towards me such as, "You really need to work harder" or "That assignment's due tomorrow" were always met with the same lackadaisical response: "I'll do it later". Due for a rude awakening, I entered college the same way I had entered high school, lazy. I always imagined myself excelling in the sciences, majoring in biology, and going off to medical school to obtain all the riches and prestige that most people picture doctors to have.
i think you must consider carefully the right reason why you transfer then show those on your essay: for your future or for mark, passion,learning environment and so on. In addition, you should find information about the major you attending for suitable showing. good luck!
I think your topic shows a real sense of humor, and a perspective of wisdom, in looking back as an adult. This capacity to be reflexive is a mark of maturity, and I think, that this would help to convey your seriousness of purpose.
Also, in having a sense of humor, you help the reader, to relax, and listen more closely.
What you need to do, it to transition from this lack of motivation, to how you now have a commitment to higher education, and understand the benefits, of applying yourself.
I think, that you've made a strong beginning, and can work with this, for your essay.
Good luck!
Thanks Carol, that's exactly what I was thinking - I just wanted to see if it would work or not! I'll now close this thread.
