From the Paper
"Although I am still a teenager, I have been fascinated with the fields of broadcasting and communication for as long as I can remember. It was as a freshman and sophomore in High School that I first studied television broadcasting as an academic subject; gaining knowledge of the range of television programming while also acquiring hands-on experience at live video production and post-production editing techniques. Later, as a participant in the Advanced Television Production course - a class recommended for those interested in careers in communications - I had the opportunity to work as a camera operator, video editor, writer and talent director. I am particularly proud that some of my packages, montages, and remotes were selected for broadcast on the school's morning announcements, as well as for air on the local cable channel."

Abstract
This article concerns a personal statement in which the writer states a life-long desire to be a film-maker. This article serves as a college application in the field of film-making. The writer states a belief that everyone has the potential never to stop growing until the day one dies and that is a reason why film appeals to the writer so. The application is concluded stating the writer's sincerity and great love for the art of making films, which resonate long after the final credits have rolled and the lights have dimmed.

From the Paper
"As a film-maker, I want to be able to resurrect a great figure, pull back the veil of mystery surrounding a famous crime, or capture the spirit of a by-gone era. For reasons such as those, I am especially interested in cinematography and in editing - but I am eager to explore and to learn about all aspects of the film-making process."
"As a citizen, my goal is constant personal evolution. I believe that each of us has the potential to never stop growing until the day we die and that is one other reason why film appeals to me so: at its core, it is the most dynamic of all the creative arts - it gives life and motion to words on a page, after all - and I want to experience the pleasure of constantly molding and crafting a living, breathing, growing film until I am finally satisfied that it has been "done right"."

Abstract
The paper presents an application that provides two writing samples for a client wishing to be accepted into a school for film-makers. The first sample details a fictitious little boy in Africa trying desperately to survive in a world where he has lost his family and his society has lost its way. In the second sample, a searing experience undergone by the client while in Africa is detailed along with the powerful lesson it imparted.

From the Paper
"Category I: An Original Fictional Character: He is a black eleven year-old little boy; his face is gentle, wide and his eyes are luminous and alive and a pleasant brown color. He has perfect teeth and makes eye contact with everyone to whom he speaks. His family is not wealthy, but his clothes are always clean. He habitually wears short blue shorts and a yellow collared t-shirt given to him as a school uniform; that t-shirt is now a part of his everyday attire. Tragically, his personality is not as upbeat as the relentless brightness of that aforementioned t-shirt."

Abstract
In this article, the writer maintains that going to college is an experience that increases your career options and enhances your enjoyment of life. Further the writer points out that a working-class background brings both commitment and appreciation to the process.

From the Paper
"The true purpose behind education is life enrichment. I come from a working-class family who never took education seriously. School was simply someplace to be before you were old enough to get a real job. We were told to do our best but the truth was that as long as my brothers and sisters and I passed our classes our parents did not really care what our grades were. That attitude put me in a lukewarm place in life from which I intend to emerge ..."

Abstract
This paper looks at the arguments that hiring a college coach to assist in the college application process is not worth the cost involved and that coaches provide an unfair advantage to the students that hire them. The paper then discusses the advantages of coaches, including the fact that they provide students with a clear organization for the future and plan of attack to gain the maximum experience even in high school, they have knowledge of the many colleges and what school will best fit their specific clients, and they can find the best financial arrangement for the parents. The paper therefore concludes that the financial, academic and college benefits that students retain from such a service far outweigh the initial investment this professional service demands.

From the Paper
"The process of completing applications and finding your dream school is often arduous and extremely exhausting. Few people truly know which school is right for them, and even more importantly how to get into that school once you've applied. For many high school seniors the process of completing the application system for colleges is done callously and with very little thought. This is not the right approach into getting into college, if a student truly wants to succeed in finding a place that will fit their personalities and at the same time be financially, academically and socially feasible. This is where college coaches come in. In the Denver community today, many are discussing the merits and drawbacks of hiring a college coach to "train" high school students about the college application process and to find the school of their dreams."

From the Paper
"The five senses we are born with are all miraculous in their own right, however, I believe eyesight is one of the most precious gifts we have. So many advances have been made in the field of optometry and eye care, that poor eyesight and failing eye health should already be a thing of the past. To maintain the status quo, individuals need their eyes to be taken care of and maintained by highly skilled professionals. As the population and increased awareness of health care and eye maintenance grows, there is and will continue to be a tremendous need for well-trained, responsible, caring optometrists in the industry. From childhood, the physiology of the eye and how it worked has fascinated..."

"One of the most inspiring and personally encouraging quotations I know is one by the American writer and teacher William Arthur Ward that states: "If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it." In my high school and life experiences and endeavors, especially as I have been preparing to enter college, I have tried to live and achieve academically and otherwise with this and similar quotations in mind. I believe this has made a difference, and that as long as I continue to believe wholeheartedly I will work with sustained purpose toward my goals, and achieve them."
