My attendance at the college would be 4 years. My brain said that the possibilities were endless at that point because I knew where I wanted to go. I flew out to L.A to attend my college. When I walked into the school my stomach knotted when I saw all the beautiful technology. It was like heaven, I loved every moment I was in my studies. Normally when people think of college they think that it’s just another couple years of something they already hated. When I attended college I felt nothing but pride and happiness. I mainly felt pride because for some reason I decided to watch pride and predigest on my flight to school. When I was in college I would say something and then think about what I said because all that could come out of my mouth most …show more content…
It was a 2001 Dodge Ram. It was like the one my dad had long ago. The truck he had was silver and mine is black, I love driving a truck around because the way they move. Me and my mom always used to make fun of the guys in big trucks because the trucks they drove were huge and could smash the old 1999 saturn we had. On my first day of that job I drove my truck into the parking lot with a grin on my face because I knew It was going to be a fun day. My creative brain was flowing and I was already thinking of ideas for things to create. I walked into the main room and a super geek with a big beard approached me and started talking to me about the job and how hard work pays off. I just grinned and followed him into the studios. I was shocked and amazed and how all the employees were working on there own project and he told me I was in the front row working on the ideas and new tech in the games. I was very happy to be able to think of my own ideas and not have to make due with the one they already had. I had to work for 12 hours a day and each day I came up with something different when I came home I always gave hugs to my parents to symbolize that I had a good
My most significant endeavor since attending community college would be helping my community to receive an Adult Daycare. Thought this endeavorer I have applied my knowledge that I have learned about the disease to educate others in my community who may not have to know the impact of it. I have also used and sought the aid of my relationship that I have built by being at my community college. This Adult Daycare service or Coltrane LIFE center is something that I am passionate about having in my hometown. My grandpa has Alzheimer's and I have seen the stress that tolls on the family and caregiver.
Returning to college has been an exciting and terrifying decision for me. My husband has encouraged me for 1-2 years, but my fear of failure overwhelmed me and kept me from pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree. I wasn’t even sure what I wanted to pursue. I’m now on this journey and ready for whatever it is that God has planned for me. I have worked hard encouraged my three kids as they transitioned their way through elementary school through middle school and on to high school and graduation.
After a pause of almost 25 years, I am returning to the college classroom and to say that there are mixed emotions would be an understatement. Sure, I’m excited to start but also a bit fearful if I’m being honest. I’ve worked for large and international companies during this time but getting back to college has always been a goal of mine. No time like the present I guess!
I first heard of the Trailblazer Collegiate Academy during my freshman year enrollment. The idea of taking college classes at a community college while still in high school was appealing to me because my current coursework took no effort to complete and I wanted a challenge. Once I was a sophomore, I began looking into it more seriously. If I wanted to apply for the Academy, I had a short window of time to do so. After discussing it with my counselor I learned that my classes I took with the community college would factor into my GPA at the high school level.
Waking up in the middle of the night, laying on my bed thinking “Was it a dream or is it real? What did I get myself into? and Why did I decide to do this? Going to Community College back in 2006 was already a big accomplishment for me, not only financially but emotionally, in my point of view. Important people such as my mom and friends helped me get to where I was at that time.
I graduated back in 2013 from a pretty decent school district. During high school I wasn’t an A student or a B student, I just did what I needed in order to pass. Once I got to my junior of high school I started taking things more seriously, I started making A’s and B’s. Once my senior year started the pressure was on. Everyone asking “what college are you thinking about attending?”
While I do not consider it a failure now at the time I was definitely frustrated with myself and considered it a failure. When I had to repeat my junior year I was mad at myself for not be able to complete the school year. As time went on I was able to focus on the positives in the situation and I was able to finally accept that I was not prepared for my senior year both emotionally and academically considering I missed so much school. If I did continue on to senior year I would not have been close to prepared as I am now for college. I ended up repeating my junior year due to the fact that I missed close to two-thirds of school due to a medical condition.
When beginning my college search, the three keywords that I based my search on were: Catholic, liberal arts, and California. Each of these aspects holds a great deal of significance to me because I hope to continue my Catholic education and nurture my faith. I also want to focus my studies in the field of education because I aspire to be an elementary school teacher and would like to attend college in-state to be able to visit my family often because they are a very important part of my life. With these aspects in mind, the college search engines gave me extensive lists of colleges, but Saint Mary’s College was always one of the top five matches on the lists and also the one that appeared the most frequently among the different search engines
I knew college would lead me to be more knowledgeable about this world and show me opportunities that I never seen before. What motivate me to go to college was my family. My parents’ has never gone to college, so I’m the first in my family to go to college. I want to be someone unique in my family. I want to be financially able to take care myself and my future children.
While preparing for college I already knew what I was going into. Coe College is roughly the same size as my high school in my hometown. To be honest, I had a grand plan to do well in college. By my senior year I would like to say I was very accomplished; In four years I became a model student and I was in leadership positions and became voted homecoming queen.
I have experienced failure throughout my whole life. Though, the most recent failures I have experienced are when I entered the college. As one of the Best Player of the Year at soccer in high school, I took it for granted thinking that at my level, it would be okay for me not to continue practice soccer for the summer. Instead, I focus my whole summer working at two jobs near my house. As a result, I have learned a lesson the hard way.
In the next semester, I was a final year student majoring in chemical engineering. I need a residential college because I will often use a chemical laboratory following the course taken, namely undergraduate research project (PSM) 2. If I do not get a place in a residential college, it will be difficult for me to complete my research project. In addition, I also did not have any vehicle to ply soon. The cost of living will increase if I did not get a college residence as having to pay the cost of rental housing, round-trip bus fare and a variety lagi.bagi I am a student who relies entirely on money PTPTN
I have experience many financial hardships throughout my college career. This upcoming year I will max out my loan options and I will have to fund my education through my own personal expenses. Even though I am a dean's list student, I do not receive any scholarship funds from my university. I currently work part time in order to pay my school bill and my rent, but it won't be enough to fully cover my expenses. This past year has been particularly hard and I reached a point financial that I had to apply for a one-time emergency scholarship fund in order to remain in school.
When deciding where I wanted to go for college I started big Colorado, California, New York,Georgia, basically every state was a contender for college. But then in May of my sophomore year of high school I visited New York City, the city that never sleeps drew me in the second I stepped out of my cab into Time square. The amount of people, signs and smells, can be repulsive and overwhelming for many people but to me it made me feel at home. Because of my instant love for the New York I knew college in the city would be a no brainer looking at Parsons and FIT, I always thought those would be my top choices. But then came Marist, this college a short train ride away from the city is no doubt my dream school and has been since I stumbled across
My college search began when I entered the eighth grade and did not begin to wrap up until the beginning of my senior year. As soon as the concept of attending a university for four years began to become a reality, I became borderline obsessed with finding the “perfect” school - a haven of sorts, where I imagined myself being instantly welcomed by an openminded, intellectual, and conscious student body. The university of my dreams was prestigious, internationally renowned, and committed to helping others both on a local and a global scale. Most importantly, I hoped to find a school where I could imagine myself not only flourishing as a student, but also as a person. Santa Clara University is one of the only institutions I have come across that
