An Example of a Good College Essay

PRIOR to entering college here in University of Vermont, I was news editor of our school paper Crusader at Christian Heritage School in Windham county. As such, I really wanted to become a journalist someday. Being in University of Vermont might be a stepping stone for me.

Unfortunately, while browsing through the website of the University of Vermont, I discovered that they weren’t offering any degree in mass communications. All they had were the Colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Education and Social Services, Engineering and Mathematics, Medicine, and Nursing and Health Services. I would have opted to take a degree in crop science instead as our farm produce was what pushed me to graduate in a private high school in Vermont. But I decided that agriculture was not really my forte, never mind the farmers, the fisherfolk and the food processors who take care of our day-to-day sustenance.
