I am very interested in starting a specific service project my junior year for CAS hours and this would be a great help to me with that. I think that I would be a valuable attendee to CASL because I am a freshman. Anything I learn can be used for all the rest of my four years of high school. I would also be a valuable attendee to the CASL conference because I would easily be able to make up the work that I miss on that Monday from school. I am also one of the older ones out of all my classmates so I would like to go to CASL so that I can learn to be a better leader to those who might look up to me.
The world is changing rapidly and many people are tired of being at the same job for a long time. Some people that want to change their jobs find many obstacles.

Capitan Mark Kelly Ever since I was a young girl I have always had great dreams and high expectations for myself. Anytime I was asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I would quickly reply” a lawyer” As the years went by I still had that goal in mind, but I began to realize that I was not exactly Ivy League material. Though I did work really hard in my classes, I was still at best average. During my junior year I took my SAT’s, and cried when I got my scores back. For many years I was scared to go to college because I thought I wasn’t college material.

College 101 is a class at Moraine Valley Community College that is to help many students, like myself, discover their potential in learning and in life. Being a full time student at Moraine, I attend a College 101 class once a week, during my eight week class I have learned value things that I can apply while being in college. My college 101 class helped me understand diversity; that learning is lifelong; and the values of planning ahead and having goals in my classes as well as in life. One thing that many college students learn when they enter an environment is that not everyone around is alike .Colleges and universities are the one place in the world there people from all different ethnic backgrounds come together for many purposes. In one of my classes we were asked to stand up and talk about ourselves for two minutes.
This took a dramatic toll on me, not only at school but at home as well. When I reached my junior year it was like a light bulb went on, what I mean is I started realize the importance of maintaining good grades as college was quickly approaching. If I didn’t step up immediately,
