The Dartmouth Bound Program is a one in a life time opportunity. In fact, it is one of the very seldom opportunities I will have to visit a college campus. My family does not have the monetary funds to supply me with college campus visits throughout the duration of my junior year, and regardless of how I would like to visit campuses, I understand that I am limited to virtual visits on the Internet thus far. The program will help me learn more about Dartmouth and the setting around it- I will be able to understand not just about Dartmouth, but about its highly intellectual environment. The Dartmouth Bound Program will be a valuable aid to my college planning process. Because neither of my parents have attended college, I am new to the college experience. As the first generation in my family to graduate from high school and go to college, I know that I need to prepare myself very much to be able to compete not just with my already prominent academics and extra-curricular activities, but with the ability to consider that I comprehend how college life will be.
The program will guide me to what I can expect for the college application process to be as well, by allowing me to go past my horizons and be more than just Alice Lavado. Dartmouth Bound will let me discover who Alice Lavado is, and allow me to dig deep into myself to better understand this hardworking student that I am, and that will be a beneficial addition to the program and I will make every minute of this experience count. In addition, my visit to Dartmouth will not only help me out but students in my school too, for I will spread the word about the program and about everything that I learned, from financial aid concepts to college lifestyles.
If I were to be chosen to the Dartmouth Bound Program I will pass on the information I gather to the junior and senior classes in my school. Some students in Miami Beach Senior High School will be the first one to attend college as well, and they have no ideas about the application process. With the information I gather I could pass on what I have learned to students who may also be limited like I was before the program
