Academic Leadership - Diego Blank (Blog Post #2)


You briefly met with a college recruiter last week, and you reviewed a number of questions to ask about colleges. This must have gotten you thinking about your future, so tell us about it: Without any strict requirements, write about your expectations, goals, fears, concerns, questions that you have concerning your future in college. Additionally, now that you know that recruiters want to hear about you and your intellectual interests and pursuits, how do you think being an aware Academic Leader will give you an advantage when applying to the college of your choice? 

     Personally, I do not have a lot of concerns about getting into college since the message that they give you on how to be a successful student is pretty clear. That is to be dedicated and know what you are doing, so for me, if I really put some effort into my work, I will have a chance to be accepted in specific colleges.
     If we were to talk about my goals, I wouldn't have a lot except for the fact that I would want to be accepted in a good college because I did not decide on what I would do with my future yet, so the idea still lays warm in my head.
     One of the many expectations that I have into getting into college and what happens inside of college is if the college recruiters will listen to your voice, that is, to what you have to say and if they will take it into consideration or not. This would also be the main fear that I have into getting into college, because there is always the thought that you will not get accepted due to whatever reason. Away from that, I also expect good and consistent education that will furnish me a good future. Obvious but necessary, I would say...
     I do have a lot of questions, but listing them here would take too much space, so it's better off without them. Most of them was what the schedule worked and what were the main majors that they offered anyways. Being an aware Academic Leader makes you able to take leadership of whatever task you have to you can learn from your mistakes and move on in life, gradually getting better so you can make better impression on the college recruiters, and even on other people.
     If you are a good leader, then you are well admired by thousands of people, and I guess this is the point. So basically, they will see that you are eligible at handling responsibility and start admiring you at the very second.
