479 Words2 Pages

I have now been on the Radford University campus for seven days. I cannot say these seven days have been the best of my life, but I assume they could have gone much worse. I believe to some extent that everything in life happens for a reason. My being here is no exception to that; I simply need to discover what that reason may be. Looking to the past I can see how certain experiences such as successful and failed attempts at communication, in addition to guidance from a teacher that I respect and admire, culminated in my being here at this moment. I cannot see as clearly into the future, but I am excited about what it may bring. Simply stated, I hope it turns out okay. I have always considered myself a strong writer. With that said, one instance stands out in my mind in which I successfully communicated in writing. I …show more content…

Princeton was the only college that my heart truly desired to attend. Most of the other colleges I was accepted to had the tuition price of a new Corvette, so after a long and painful deliberation, I decided that Radford would be the best return for my investment. My high school Business Law teacher, Daniel Dolewski, whole-heartedly supported my decision and encouraged me to take this route to save money that I can apply to law school. He was a lawyer for years before becoming a teacher, so he had very valuable input for the situation. He believes in me and has so much faith that the situation will end positively, so I am starting to believe that as well. Successes, failures, and influences of special people resulted in me being a student at Radford University. Although this wasn’t my first choice for college, I am still excited about what the future has in store.

    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.

    I remember finding out that NC State had a summer reading book and thinking that it sounded a lot like a high school English class. I dreaded even picking up the book, so i kept making excuses and putting off reading it. August rolled around, and move-in day was quickly approaching, so I decided to take my dog to the beach one evening and read until the sun went down. The book followed the author's prodigious journey to save one mountain near his house and the Appalachian Trail. With every flip of a page I felt like there was an underlying message that was meant for me.

    My reason to attend Penn State University, Abington, in the fall of 2016 was based on the opportunity that was given to me to explore the area around Philadelphia and to transfer to Penn State University, University Park, within the next two years. Even though I stressed about studying SAT and ACT, writing college admission essays, and balancing my school work at the same time, I was not excited about going to a college as much as my peers and friends were. For me, college was simply an extension of a high school, and it is something I regret and wish to change.

My counselors would have said no, my friends, my college advisor, my family. The answer would not have been yes, not because I wasn 't capable of meeting the standards to attend, but because there seemed more obstacles in my way than there was forces pushing me forward.
