Personal Narrative: My Trip To SDSU

738 Words3 Pages

I came to SDSU a little worried about how big the campus was because the area of the campus is bigger than my hometown. I did not know whether I was going to make friends and fit in like I did back home. Going to all of the events around campus has definitely help in getting familiar with the campus and finding people to hang out with. I have found a group of friends that I am excited to get to know more by attending these events with them. The college offers so many opportunities to get involved in many different things. You can stay in your major and join a club or go completely outside your comfort zone and join something like the art club or something on that lines.
The first event that I attended of the student engagement assignment was …show more content…

I had a resume that I made for a high school class, so it was a start but it would not have gotten me passed the first round of reviews if I applied for a job where they had a lot of applicants. After the session, I went and completely redid my resume. I think I would now get an interview. I added a lot of new things like experience that include unpaid like my SAT in high school for our middle school agriculture classes. The next class, I hope to attend would be the interview class. I hope to attend more classes like this in the future weeks and throughout my career here at SDSU.
I also attended the resume blitz. That was very helpful the next day to make sure I was formatting it right and had everything in order for the career fair. They check for simple things as spelling errors and made sure I had everything I needed to get an interview. I really appreciated all the help I had on my resume. I was really nice how I was able to walk right in and get help right away. I also ask a couple of questions like how many resume I should have for the career fair and looked at sample references pages. The staff was really helpful in answering my

    Upon arriving to Miami Dade College, you will never imagine all the resources offered to students to succeed during their scholastic years. I’ve been lucky enough to been advised by some of the best staff at their Interamerican campus. From their advisement office to their profoundly knowledgeable professors. As a current student of ENC1102, we were required to attend one section with a tutor at the writing center. I always thought I had sufficient knowledge of the English language and taking time out of my busy schedule to attend a section with a tutor was absurd.

  • Personal Narrative: Coming To Cal

    218 Words  | 1 Pages

    Coming to Cal was great for me because it was the first time I had found a real LGBTQ community. Growing up I always moved schools so most of my friendships were fleeting and upon settling for high school the Gay Straight Alliance club was extremely small so coming to Cal provided a great sense of community and belonging. The summer before my first fall semester, I took a few classes to get a feel for the campus which ended up coinciding with Obergefell v. Hodges and SF gay pride which is where I made a lot of friends. Whether it is going for drinks in the Castro, dressing up for the Folsom street fair or going to social events at Oscar Wilde, Cal has provided an amazing sense of acceptance and a safe space. During the spring semester, I preformed

    In my freshman year, I made a choice to relinquish some of my social life and replace that time giving back to my community. I joined a non-profit organization called the Volunteer Corp. We spent our time at food banks, park clean-ups, and even hosting local events. This experience left a lasting impression on me in many ways; however, one experience changed my perspective on life and serve as a constant reminder of how the smallest contribution to others can be the most powerful. St. Joseph University, in Philadelphia, held an event called Hand in Hand. It was an event dedicated to raising awareness for people with physical and/or developmental disabilities.

Still drowsy I toss my covers off and peel my listless body from the comfort of my cozy bed. I stumble down the stairs to the kitchen where I turn on my Keurig and realize it is “THURSDAY!
