Starting my journey as an online student at Southern New Hampshire University has been an enjoyable experience. This journey started in June 2013 and it is a journey that I will never regret. I decided to get my master’s degree in communications with a concentration in public relations. It has been difficult at times to achieve but it is all worth it. Online courses allowed me to be flexible and able to work at any time that I needed to work. Online education has allowed me to be a great leader who makes the world we live in better. Southern New Hampshire allowed me to have a flexible schedule to be able to do more in my community. During my course at Southern New Hampshire, I currently hold the position of inside spy for my masonic …show more content…
As community service chairperson I have assisted, donated, volunteered, and facilitated many programs and service projects. Some of the events or projects that I have contributed to make the world we live on better are feeding the homeless, A Daughter’s Heart honoring heart survivors, a community Easter egg hunt, clothing drives, Shriner’s national diabetes initiative weekend, and many others. A Daughter’s Heart consisted of a program that honored stroke, heart attack, and heart disease survivors in the month of February. The program also educated individuals of the symptoms and how to care for heart survivors. Being a student and a great leader in our world at the student time is not an easy task but it has taught be patience, dedication, and hard work. Obtaining my master’s degree in public relations has allowed me to understand social media and how to use it to communicate information. I utilized my degree to communicate information to my chapter, other chapters and the community through social media, guerilla marketing, and word of mouth. My online education has allowed me to excel on many levels in my community, organization, and my own business. I am an entrepreneur that owns a t-shirt line called Hathor Wear. I started my
Introduction This paper is to define and understand who I am as a student and what direction I need to take to complete my degree and pursue a successful career in life. I was born in St. Ann, Jamaica to hardworking parents and I was raised in the catholic church. I grew up thinking about becoming a cosmetologist but as I become older my direction shifted to law. Unlike many of the other professionals, my passion as I migrated to the states was law because it is a great security aspect and my desire to be in the court room is always something I love, and would love to help people who are unable to secure a lawyer. I do believe with my desire and determination I can make a difference in this world: I can see myself running a law firm in years to come, once I work hard and put in the work.
On Monday, both Mr. Levine and our paralegal were gone, so it was just my on-site mentor, her husband (who was recruited to help out), and me in the office. For a large portion of the day, I was on the computer and answering phone calls. The phones weren 't too crazy, thankfully. My main purpose for being there was to help my on-site mentor as much as possible. I don 't know how to do even half of what the paralegal does, but I knew enough to help with standard office stuff, like scanning papers and drafting subpoenas to be sent out (mostly for personal injury cases, but for family law cases as well).
I have learned great time management skills, I learned different ways of studying material to be able to understand it, I have learned to never give up and the work you put into something results in the outcome. I have gained many experiences by attending different colleges and learning from different instructors in different formats. I have gained experiences personally from life events that have given me the drive and motivation I have today. I have completed my BSN program all online so I have great experience with online programs.
Attending community college has opened many doors and presented many opportunities for me. With the help of my professors and the education I gained from my classes, I was hired at a company that will help me continue to grow. I was hired at a Fastenal branch in Three Rivers, Michigan because of my academic and intellectual skills I learned at Glen Oaks Community College. At Fastenal there are often times situations where a customer needs a product that is either not in stock at the store or a mass quantity that cannot be filled by the inventory in the store.
My experiences and what I have learned from them will add to the Towson University campus community. The world I come from is based around a family which displays strength and resilience. I come from a military family where both my mother and father have served many years. My mother served for nineteen years in the U.S. Navy while my dad served for several years in the U.S. Marines. I have three siblings, all within five to ten years older than me.
During the past seven weeks, I learned to construct the problem statement, purpose statement, research question, theoretical framework, nature of study, and significance of study. I noticed that the theoretical framework and significance of study are two of my weaknesses in the doctoral study. I am having difficulty understanding the requirements of the components. To improve my weaknesses, I plan to ask colleagues and my chair for feedback and read previous doctoral studies. After receiving feedback from the components, I plan improve in each draft.
I am writing to inform you of my experiences from my first semester of my W-131 class. Coming into college I was very scared. I wasn’t so much scared of new things, because we experience new things every day. I feared failure, what I mean by that is I have a lot of people counting on me to graduate and to do good. At times is stressful because I think of scenarios of what will happen if I don’t graduate.
College is a place where students learn more than a particular subject. A student has a chance to learn more about himself or herself, as well as others by discovering their strengths and weaknesses, thinking critically, and communicating effectively. A few weeks after starting my first term, I found out that I am one-fourth of the way to my degree with 29 credits that transferred from colleges in Arizona. It is now time for a plan of
Two Academic Articles on the Upside and Downside1 According to Tisdell et al. , (2004) the study discusses the Cohort findings for the advantages of online learning in graduate higher education programs. On the upside, the study discusses three primary categories of importance which includes residential, flexible cohort structure and building ongoing relationships.
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.
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
Throughout my educational life, I have struggled to beat the odds that were stacked up against me to achieve the goals that I aspired to. These struggles made me who I am, and though they plague me today, I will never let my dyslexia get in the way of my goals. Though my early educational life the thought of obtaining a higher education was never projected for my future. I remember vividly being told that I would be lucky to graduate high school, and to eventually work at the local Burger King the remainder of my life. It was that day that I defined my future.
Minghan Li Ms. Carmen Politics and International Relations 4B December 16, 2017 Is Online Education More Advantageous Than Traditional Education? As internet technologies advances, online courses rapidly grew in popularity. According a study of the Babson Survey Research Group, in 2014, there were more than 5.8 million students that are taking at least one online course in the US alone, which is approximately 28.4 percent of all enrolled students in the US (“Online Report Card: Tracking Online Education in the United States”). Although it is still in a quite early stage of development, online courses is said to offer the same, if not superior, education as on-campus courses. But is that really so?
I believe the greatest challenge I will face as I transition to college will be overcoming the first year back in school and entering a field that I have no academic experience in. I did not have the best grades in high school and have not had much experience in applying myself in a class room since then. One of the reasons I joined the military was to give myself the time to figure out what I wanted to do and make a plan for myself. Now that I know the general direction of where I am heading, the biggest obstacle I will face going from military to college will be getting back into an academic mind set after being in the military for 4 years. Specifically, I believe that the most difficult aspect of this obstacle is that I have no college
I strongly believe in acts of service and the impact they have on a school and a community. As people serve each other in the surrounding area, strangers come together as a family to make a change, and be a change, in their communities. It is my goal to incorporate even more community service opportunities for our members, so that they can find the joy in volunteering as I
