Personal Narrative: My Trip To Dmacc's Transfer Fair

545 Words3 Pages

I decided to go to DMACC’s transfer fair for my activity. I plan on transferring to a four-year college after graduation from DMACC and wanted to look at different schools that I could go to. The transfer fair was in building 1 on the Ankeny campus. Not only was half of the main area filled up, but so was the hallway adjacent to it. There were tons of schools I had never heard of before. The first table I stopped at was Graceland University. Their mascot was a bee and I was intrigued by it. However as I talked with the man representing the college, I realized it was very sports oriented. I am not a sports person. It also did not have my area of study, which is French. The next booth that I went to was for Central College. I love the Pella campus …show more content…

The last table I visited was Iowa State’s. This is the college I am most familiar with. My sister and almost all of my friends attend ISU and I visit them on campus a lot. I have been to numerous college visits and so I know my way around. When I stopped at this booth, they told me about ISU transfer program which I did not know about. Considering this will most likely be the school I will be transferring to, it was helpful. I can apply online and get benefits from being in their transfer program. Going to the transfer fair helped teach me more about different schools in Iowa. I’m glad I went because I learned more about these schools then I would have had I gone online. I talked in person with consolers who were able to answer specific questions I had regarding my major. I liked the transfer fair because it was at a convenient time for me and was laid-back. I could take my time learning about each school with no rush. I would recommend it to anyone thinking about transferring. It was beneficial to me and I learned new things about schools I’ve already been to. The transfer fair was a great experience for me and I am glad that I was able to attend

  • Personal Narrative: Coming To Cal

    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
