My desire to transfer to University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign lies within its age-old tradition in research and public engagement. Currently my community college does not offer the opportunity to take on a curriculum that offers foundation and advanced courses that will allow me to progress in an upward and relevant direction. In the long run I would like to fill a particular capacity that will empower me in the field of general studies and potentially engineering. Through this avenue I can become part of a movement that can allow me to make history while leaving a positive impression on many others. This is all part of a quest for self-improvement, which started in high school. After an emotionally difficult junior year in high school, I had to reinvigorate my spirit to overcome the setbacks caused by a number of satisfactory grades. Since then I have focused on rebuilding myself through engaging myself in literature on academic, personal and professional development. As a result I was able to finish high school and continue my education at a community college. I have never felt this driven, but for once I have reached a level of maturity where my direction could be no clearer. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is my next destination as I pursue my future professional endeavors. Through my attendance I not only will really seize the opportunity for further learning, but I will use my own positive points to empower other students as well. It is through this endless cycle that I will continue to make progress in my own life while feeding the progression of the university as a whole.
