Academic Turning Point In Life

After days of sorrow and helplessness, I contemplated quitting everything. However, I then got results that I had been accepted into my second choice university. I realized that I did have a future, just not the one that I had planned perfectly. I could still become a successful nurse and still help others by taking a different route. This experience taught me to become flexible I was so used to everything taking place the way I wanted it to that I forgot that some things are beyond my control. This challenge helped me to realize that there are more paths than one in life. With an optimistic attitude, I can still succeed and contribute to society. I also learned that my time spent studying and participating in extracurricular activities was not wasted. The memories that I made from participating in the activities are worth the time and effort. As a result, I came to not regret my spending a great amount of time toward my education. It still helped me develop into a well-rounded student. I learned that I will continue to face more difficult challenges in the future as I enter college. However, I will continue to persevere with a positive outlook because the challenges will one day serve as memorable experiences that I can learn

My journey through undergrad was similar to a flight going through a lot of turbulence. I came in knowing what I had to do, make Good grades, shadow doctors, and volunteer/participate in community service. However, there were a lot of trials and tribulations. It was not until after my freshman year when I hit rock bottom academically that my whole world

I've experienced a lot of events which had great impact on me since I was young. Thinking of life changing events, the one I would like to share is when I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. It was a very devastating day for me. A day that changed my life. I never thought Id get through but today I can say that Diabetes has changed me for the better.

After completion of high school, I moved on to Barry University where I majored in the premedical sciences in pursuit of my ultimate goal of becoming a medical doctor. A career in medicine is the only goal I have had as a child since my dad handed me an anatomy atlas while in primary school. The task was daunting, but with hard work and many late nights I persevered. The experience of college developed my communication skills, exposed me to several cultures and helped me to mature as a leader.

As for my story, I decided to follow my sister’s path to the hippie utopian society of CU Boulder after graduation. I spent a semester as an undeclared astrophysics major trying to find my place. While the campus is breathtaking and the Flatirons are nothing short of spectacular, the atmosphere just wasn’t for me and by the end of the semester I decided to leave. For the next seven months I used the time the best I could. I backpacked the Grand Canyon, camped on the Big Sur coast, hiked the arches of Moab, and almost got eaten by a bear in Grand Teton National Park. Despite almost dying, these trips helped me realize that happiness was much more important to me than money. This idea brought me here. I decided to bring my childhood dream of becoming a pilot to life and major in aviation and aerospace science here at MSU.

It’s very surprising to be honest. If I rewind my life to the very beginning of junior year, I would have never suspected that I would encounter multiple hardships one after another, each excessively worse than the last. Yes, junior year was extremely tough domestically and socially but little did I know that my horrid problems at home would affect me academically. Undeniably it was my will power and my strong belief in never giving up which steered my grades and my life to the straight path and made me realize that mistakes happen in life for a reason, they happen so we can learn from them, so we can share our story with others and help them avoid the hardships we encountered. When I reminisce at my junior year, I don’t extract sadness or

The College Transfer Sucess book and ACA 122 had me doing some extensive soul searching and decision making on what I want to do with my life and how I am going to timely and efficiently execute it. I have made some important decisions and learned some very useful tips that I have or plan on using in my everyday life.

Knowing that I have been in 3 other Universities, I now understand why I am attending college. I have been lost in my last 3 schools, but I know what I want to obtain from university. It was a very difficult road, but I have gained a lot of experience from this. Because we all know that college is not for every one. It is in my gene to move forward to get a degree from my parents to my siblings to have gotten their degrees and also gone through medical school. But knowing my place, and understanding what I want through my criminal justice degree has now pushed me to my goal, and hopefully push me on the field to a new level that I have never experienced.

Even though I've been out of school for sometime, I know as a person I have grown since I was last in High school. I am more comfortable with myself as a person. And I am more driven than i was then. My focus and drive is what makes me able to conquer my goals. The change people go through from high school to college is dramatic, much like the Military. I know from my time in high school through my time in the Military I grew as a man. I developed skills I can take with me through everyday life; responsibility, drive, focus is just to name a few. I look forward to my time at Campbell University and getting back into college. I know that this school will teach me a lot and as a community I can grow from it and attain my goals of becoming a Physician

In my time at Eastern Connecticut State University, I learned a lot about myself and what I have been doing as a student. In that time, I learned not only about myself, my academic strength’s and even learned to think critically and ask questions. Eastern has taught me to be myself and this campus puts more emphasis on individuality over group thinking. I learned a lot in applying my critical thinking skills to my history classes and learned a lot in how to look at History in everyday context. What my experience at Eastern as taught me that, I never gave up and I always persevere in many difficult challenges this campus has tossed at me. I always came out on top and learned to deal with challenges that I will face later in Graduate school and in life.

Straight out of high school I enrolled to Pima Community College. It did not turn out so good. I was got stuck with the wrong crowd, mentally I was confused about what I really wanted to do in life. I got hit with a reality check when my grades went to a downfall because

Graduation is an exciting time in a person’s life, especially a high school graduation. When I think of family and friends gathering together to celebrate a joyous occasion, I feel I accomplished my strongest goal. It never occurred to me that graduation would be the end of my youth and the start of adulthood. Graduating from high school was an influential event that gave me an altered outlook on my existence. Life before graduation, preparing for graduation day, and commencement day overwhelmed me for reality.

Everyone has that one experience that makes them look at life with a new set of eyes. My life changing experience happened a little earlier than most. It was the summer before first grade. We had gotten an exceptional amount of rain in the past months even though it was summer. I did not notice, though, because summer was every six year old's favorite holiday, next to Christmas and their birthday. My summer was supposed to be like any other but it quickly took a turn. For the best or for the worst? That is debatable.
