Personal Narrative: My Experience At Radford University

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.

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.

Although this wasn’t my first choice for college, I am still excited about what the future has in store. I am most excited about the opportunity to be my own person and make decisions about my life independently from my parents. I think that is what this step in life is all

I think about traveling to Peru and volunteering at an Hogar and Hospital as a Freshmen, Becoming Co-President of the Women’s ministry for ODU’s Catholic Campus Ministry, and to working hard and receiving good grades in all my classes.

Upon arriving to Miami Dade College, you will never imagine all the resources offered to students to succeed during their scholastic years.

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.

Urban Studies Personal Statement

When I began my journey as an undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania, I was seventeen and had little idea of where this path would take me. At the time, I did not know my decision to turn down a Wharton appointment to instead enroll in the College of Arts and Science reflected my need to better understand my role in society. I did know I was a "learning differently abled" student and I lived with the daily presence of ADD, dyslexia, and dysgraphia as well as memory lapses. This personal journey is why education is so important to me and why a graduate education is my next goal. I also knew I would never be your typical all A's Ivy League student, but I was undeterred and persevered.

I crave to be challenged by differences and peers that push me. At Wake, I felt a spark and ambition among students. College is not exciting to me because of the opportunity to be independent; I moved away from home at fourteen and lived on campus at UNCSA. I am thrilled to be attending college because of the opportunity to intensely study subjects that evoke curiosity and inspire me. Although becoming employable is important, I also view college as an opportunity to learn for the joy of learning and to become a well-rounded citizen that cares for her community and learns something new every day regardless of her occupation.
