Why I Chose The King's College

Why I Chose The King's College
www1.prweb.com

I knew as soon as I saw The King's College at my college fair, it was where I was meant to be. Here are a few reasons why:

1) It's not a party school.

All you hear about as high school seniors are college parties. I am not a partier. I've actually never been to those kind of parties. I always wanted to be someone who does great things, not a teenager that goes to parties and gets drunk. So in making my college decisions, a "party" school was not an option. In fact, I didn't want to apply to a secular college for that one reason. In any college you go to there are always going to be kids who like to party, but at King's the students are mature, grown up and know right from wrong. You step on campus and feel like an adult. Students don't party; they're too busy with school, clubs and internships.

2) It's a small college so the professors really get to know you.

I didn't want to just be another student. I knew I wanted a relationship with my professors. In a school with thousands of students and hundreds in a class, the professors don't even know your name. You have to hope and pray you took the right notes or understood what you were learning. At King's there are only 20-25 students in a class and sometimes even less, so as a student you get to build a relationship with your professor. You can talk to them if you need help, and if you don't agree with what they're teaching they are always open for having a discussion.

3) The Dress Code.

Yes, King's has a dress code. I know right now you're wondering why. It's college. You should be able to dress how you want! Well...you're wrong. King's is not only instilling good Christian values, but they are also teaching students how to dress for a job. This school is all about learning how to be a professional entrepreneur and because of that, you have to dress like one. I never liked the idea of going to class in a sweatshirt and jeans. I want to be taken seriously. I've always been taught that the way you dress becomes who you are.

4) You're on your own.

At King's you have an apartment, not a dorm, which means you do your own laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning and everything else that comes with being an adult. I know it's scary, but you learn how to be an adult and not just a college kid. Learning how to do these things now will help when you are really on your own. There's nothing like the feeling of accomplishment and knowing you can do whatever life throws at you.

5) It's in New York City.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
