Personal Narrative: My Life As A Rose Scholar

739 Words3 Pages

Rose House is a close knit community that allows me to freely express my opinions and collaborate with my fellow peers. Being a Rose Scholar, I have realized how attending events allowed me to broaden my intellectual ability and bond with my peers. I have made my closest friends from participating in the Rose Scholars events. I feel Rose has a lot to offer to its residents and being a student assistant will allow me to pass my experiences to new and current residents.

As a transfer student from a community college, Cornell was and still is a big transition for me. At one point, it became overwhelming since I thought I was not fulfilling my loved ones’ expectations. College was not a new experience, but Cornell was. I was not sure if I would fit in this new environment. At times I found myself in libraries for hours. I would skip lunch or even …show more content…

After a few weeks in, I realized that this lifestyle is not healthy, for my physical and mental wellbeing. And luckily, I had Rose Scholars. Initially, I had applied to the program to get guaranteed housing. However, I found myself enjoying the events. Often times, I would attend more than one event. It not only gave me a break from my stressful week, but also allowed me to bond with my floormates and other Rose residents. Most of my friends are from the Rose House. And when the SA position came to me, I thought what could be a better way for me to share my experiences as a transfer student to other students. I can perhaps advice other transfer students for the challenges they might face in their daily lives. Students find themselves lost because of one bad prelim, but

  • Personal Narrative: My Diverse Field Experience

    For my Diverse Field Experience this semester, I spent fifteen hours at the Mclean County Juvenile Detention Center. This particular center was occupied by about 8-14 juveniles at a time, all depending on court dates and occupancy of other nearby detention centers. This center usually had 3 staff members working the shift every time I went, which was seven to nine on weekday afternoons. I was intrigued to go to at this time because I thought it would be the time of the day were the juveniles had no school work or other obligations to do while I was there. I wanted to see what they liked to do in the free time before bed, the only stipulation being mandatory snack time at eight pm.

    The beauty of the campus and close-knit community I observed was so welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. When touring the campus, the small class sizes and the fact that I wasn’t just a number to a professor was a big plus. Learning more about Jesuit aspect of the university was most impressive to me as I really admire how SCU prepares students with its three pillars of: competence, conscience, and compassion and motivates them to make a difference. I could already tell that this was the place in which not only students but professors and faculty would wholeheartedly support and guide me in pursuing my aspirations. Both my family and I knew that SCU was a home away from home which would: engage, prepare, and encourage me for my next leg of

    My first semester as an RA at Ithaca College has come and gone with its own unique set of challenges, lessons, and experiences. Over the past four and a half months I have adjusted to a new kind of college experience, formed many new relationships, and can honestly look back at it all and say I am truly gratified and appreciative of the opportunity given to me. All of these factors have driven my decision to try and further my role with Reslife and pursue a position as an Apartment Assistant. There is an abundance of obvious reasons as to why I, or anyone else for that matter, would be interested in working as an AA. It is clearly a nicer living environment compared to the average room in the Res Halls providing more freedom and privacy.

As I grew in age and as a writer my problematic area became not including enough nitty gritty details. My bad experiences that I recall would always involve the start of writing because I struggle with beginning paragraphs. Also, I tend to use the ending paragraph to just repeat myself, so overall my first and last paragraphs are usually shit.

  • Personal Narrative: An Outsider

    667 Words  | 3 Pages

    Since my fourteenth birthday my life has been a series of perfect catastrophes. An outsider would unquestionably deem my life desirable, although nonetheless average. Since fourteen I’ve appeared to have it all; and if you look the part you’re halfway there, right? I say this because people who don’t know me very well will likely describe me as “pretty, popular, and smart,” which are all great attributes to have, but the outside doesn’t always match the inside. I’m not going to tell you I was utterly miserable from the day I entered teenhood because if I did I’d be lying, and wouldn’t that be an awful way to introduce myself to the individuals who hold the power to better my life for the next four years?

    Attending Hobart and William Smith College in the fall semester of 2017 was a bitter-sweet experience. Some moments I felt astonished because of the freedom I had from my family and the choices that were mine and only mine to make. The option to do what I want when I want was surreal as if I was in a fantasy. Other moments during midterms and finals I felt overwhelmed and felt like I was running out of gas because of the academic pressure from all my classes at one time drove me insane.

  • Personal Narrative: An Interview With Professor Korey

    408 Words  | 2 Pages

    While I had never been to the New Student Programs building, thanks to the campus map, I was able to find it rather easily. Professor Korey, after I had waited a few minutes in the waiting room, as he is assuredly a busy man as he is an associate professor of the Biology Department and a director of the First Year Experience, greeted me back to his office. The office itself had enough room to fit in a decent sized desk for him to do his work and a table for meetings comfortably, but was a little cluttered with papers, books, a few soccer bags, presumably for his children, and his laptop which he had been working on before our interview. After speaking with him for a few minutes, it was obvious that he is passionate about his work in the nervous system of fruit flies and crustaceans as he has an incredible interest in the inner workings of those systems and has since his days as an undergraduate. To further his work he himself, with the help of graduates and a couple of undergraduates, work extensively researching different parts of the nervous system.
