Finding a College that Fits!

***The following PowerPoint will be on my #1 college that’s right for me and other colleges I’m applying for,

Enjoy!***

VIRGINIA UNION UNIVERSITY I plan on attending VUU in the fall of 2015. I chose this college because I would like to become an Elementary school teacher and Virginia Union offers my major which is Elementary Education and also my minor, Psychology, at the Evelyn R. Syphax School of Education, Psychology and Interdiscipnary Studies. My parents and I have discussed this college and they’re supporting me in this/ my decision. In addition, I plan to apply to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) as well as Virginia State University (VSU).

MORE INFORMATION ON MYSELF I have not taken the SAT/ ACT test yet, but I will be taking the SAT

in October and the ACT in September of this year, 2014. When I do attend college, I plan on staying on that College/

University’s campus to experience the college life more. I chose these three colleges/ universities because I would like to

visit home more frequently and also because I would like to stay in-state instead of going out-of-state.

I prefer smaller campuses, which also explains why I would prefer to go to Virginia Union.

Scholarships that I would like/ will apply for are: Target.com Scholarship: $10, 000 Power Nine Scholarship: $10, 000 Any many more!

Before I go to college, I have to improve my three weaknesses; Being poise, conditioning, and having confidence. Poise: Just being yourself. Being at ease in any situation. Never fighting

yourself. Condition: Mental-Moral-Physical. Rest, exercise and diet must be considered.

Dissipation must be eliminated. Confidence: Respect without fear. May come from bring prepared and keeping

all things in proper perspective.
