<p>I just finished writing my rough draft, I don't have anyone to proof read it for me. If anyone can be kind enough to read it over and check for any mistakes, or provide feedback/suggestions I will greatly appreciate it!! I am applying to Northeastern University. </p>
<p>The topic was: "Provide a statement (250 words minimum) that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to achieve"</p>
<pre><code> For me, transferring to a University from my current community college provides more than a valuable education. It provides opportunity, a challenge and it will allow me to grow as an individual. Continuing my education at a community college has been a significant decision in my life. I feel that my current institution has taught me a lot about myself and has allowed me to take the time to figure out what I want to study; since graduating from high school I have changed my major twice, before finally developing an interest in Finance. Although I may be behind in credits, I believe that the time I have taken has helped me mature and be a more prepared student, for wherever I decide to study. If being in a new state where I do not know anyone does not provide a big enough challenge for me, I strive to find a University that will challenge me academically and help me grow as a student. During the past two years my study habits have improved dramatically, but there is still room for improvement. I hope to gain the tools and the support that will allow me to improve on these skills even further. Beyond a challenge, I want a university that will give me the best tools for my future. I want to go to a University that provides a learning experience separate from its classrooms. These days, work experience is just as important as a bachelors or a masters degree from a prestigious University. College graduates, who have earned work experience related to their major, are a step ahead of the competition. Attending my current institution means living at home and being dependent on my family and friends. There comes a time where everyone needs to experience life through their own self-reliance and independence. I periodically catch myself wondering where am I headed in life? finding this answer starts with transferring to a university where I can acquire a challenge, take advantage of the opportunities available, and achieve a sense of individualism that I cannot receive at my current institution.
