Welcome to The University of Arizona!
As an ASEMS- Transfer student, adjusting to a larger school with 10X the amount of students at my previous institution can be overwhelming. I, myself, come from New Jersey which is completely different from Arizona in a sense that Arizona is more serene. I transferred into the University of Arizona as a biomedical Science Major interested in pursuing a career in medicine as a physician. As a biomedical Science major the course load is not an easy one. Most of my courses are science course and each class is very demanding in what they require. My first semester at the University of Arizona I made a grave mistake of believing I could do it all. I enrolled in a hybrid course which did not have a tutor

You know what is best for you and you also know what is right for you. There will be times when you want to give up, but you have to remind yourself who exactly you are giving up on. If you try a little harder than yesterday great things can happen. I remember taking a course at my previous institution where I was completely lost and confused the first two weeks of class. I was behind and felt like I was failing before I gave myself a chance to show what I was capable of doing. I remember one Friday the teacher announced that there was going to be a test on Monday. Of course I panicked because I did not know any of the material. I sat down with the book in front of me Friday night and I told myself I was not going to leave until I understood every detail of the chapters covered in class. I walked into class on Monday completely confident in my knowledge. When I received the test back that Wednesday I had received a 96% which made me realize that because I didn’t give up on myself I succeeded. In the end everyone can tell you all you want to hear, but if you don’t have the ability to believe in yourself, their encouraging words will fall on deaf ears. Like Layla stated, school is not easy but that’s the price we all have to pay to make our wildest dreams come
A time that I experienced failure was when i failed my Algebra II class for first semester. My biggest error was that I didn’t retake my quizzes that i failed when i had the chance too. The first 3 months i didnt really tried, I would tell myself that I had a lot of time for the semester to end. However, i regretted it when i found out that i only had a few weeks for the semester to end. I stressed out the last weeks, I couldn’t go to sleep in the night. I would keep thinking of my grade and how i was going to fail the class. I knew that colleges were gonna see my grades for this year, my junior year. I really want to go to college, I want to make my parents proud. The last weeks, i did everything that i could. I did all the missing homework, and I tried to
I have been tasked with working with the people of Palm Island. I will discuss how I will prepare to enter the community and considerations that I will need to make. How I will work within the community, including building relationships and the type of frameworks that will be appropriate.
I learned that Hawaii ranks 14th in rates of primary and secondary syphilis among the 50 states. Hawaii is ranked 14th for chlamydial infections and 34th for gonorrheal infections. One major that I learned was that Hawaii has the highest rate of liver cancer and this is due to Hepatitis B and C virus.
Great post this week, I also enjoyed the Smith Hill forum because it allowed us to identify the emergency management problems that Smith Hill was facing. Overall, I enjoyed this course because I feel that even though this course was only eight weeks, I feel that I was able to learn a whole lot. My favorite part was the final assignment because I was able to put into practice everything that I learned throughout this course. Good luck in your academic
After 3 weeks of being part of the ESW, I experienced a preview of how Cal State Northridge would be like when school officially starts. We were all challenges in 4 assignments to test our writing skills. At first, I thought it would be a difficult time since I am taking classes at CSUN. However, this taught me to think ahead and prepared me for when school officially starts.
Though my educational achievements in high school were average, I truly began to reach my full potential upon entering college. In my first semester, I challenged myself by taking Biology, Chemistry, and Calculus despite the many warnings to avoid taking 2 sciences and a math. While taking on this workload was challenging, I
I am so excited to start my 3rd year as the Proud Principal of Desert Oasis Elementary. The past two years have been an incredible journey, and I look forward to yet another year to continue this amazing journey!
Talking to various people in Arbor Hill and West Hill was truly a rewarding and enlightening experience that helped me synthesize everything I learned in this class. Some themes that I noticed while engaging with Arbor Hill community members is high levels of violence and an awareness of what was happening within their community. I talked to a man named El and while talking to him some of his family members and family friends joined us on his stoop. When walking to West Hill, I approached a family while they were sitting on their stoop. I talked mainly to a man who lived in the neighborhood for 52 years and has seen the neighborhood transform over the years. He was accompanied by two of his daughters and who I believe to be his granddaughter; we were never formally introduced. I saw some differences in his opinion of his community. El and his family realized that many of the issues affecting him and his people were systematic and intentional while this West Hill resident seemed to blame many of the neighborhood ills on the migration of more Black people into the area. This, of course, seemed problematic to me but it was not
Instead of just giving up, it's always best to try again no matter what. The people that have courage and persevere to continue on and tackle their failures, end up with success. I remember when I failed at trying to complete a project on time and in perfect condition. I believe the project was not finished because of how it was in such a wreck. I kept on going and going, knowing that I needed a good grade in the end was like a incentive to keep me moving forward. I know from experience that trying hard and staying on track leads to a good success because in the end I got a good grade for the project that I thought I would never
On November 1, 2016, I recently purchased a 2016 Black KIA Soul from one of your showrooms in Ocala. I had high expectations for the car, but in my disappointment, the car wasn’t up to the mark.
“I’ve always found that anything worth achieving will always have obstacles in the way and you've got to have that drive and determination to overcome those obstacles on route to whatever it is that you want to accomplish.” - Chuck Norris. There will always be someone or something that will knock you down when you're trying to obtain something that will better your life; however, you would never think that it is someone who has been close to you all your life. Getting through a tough trial where someone who is suppose to love you a push you to do what you want to do tells you that you won’t graduate is very hard.Going through something like that is very hard to do, you have to take charge in yourself which makes you stronger, wisdom is gained, and you have achieved something in your life that the person said you could never accomplish.
As I look over my life and I reflect over the events or experience in my life that influence my academic and my goals here at Colorado Christian University. I am so excited about where God is taking Me. All I can do at this point in my life is to trust and as I do my goals here at Colorado Chritian will help build. I have begun to believe that experience is our biggest teacher. I want my experience here to be bigger than Me. I want to be the light that shine as a become a psycoloist . I want to use the word of God to bring hope .peace, joy so they my clients sees how God's word has healing power. So saying that I know God has me here for reason. My goals as for my academic work is to learn and share all of my experience with people who are
You are not a failure when you give your all at something you are a failure when you never try. Steve Harvey once said “failure is a great teacher, and I think when you make mistakes and you recover from them and you treat them as valuable learning experiences, then you’ve got something to share.” Chase after your dreams, you should never say never, reach for the stars, be all you can be, the sky is the limit, spread your wings and soar. Find some motivations I life that will keep you moving forward. Like what Aaliyah said “if at first you don’t succeed you can dust it off and try
Have you ever wanted to just give up on something or just wish you had never started it in the first place? We’ve all experienced this feeling at least once in our lifetime. I have felt this through the thick and thin of my school career, and sadly I have tended to be the one who wants to gives up a lot more often than I’d like to admit. However, it is always the fear of failing, and in my case, not graduating that reignites my dedication in order to succeed.
My life and education has never been an easy path for me. I always seemed to be left behind and it was so frustrating having to ask for help and having that feeling i'm holding people back because I do not understand. My main struggle is math. Me and math aren’t friends, I doubt we'll ever be, but I have hope that maybe one day we can come to terms. Entering high school my math class was easy and I thought I had finally gotten a hang of it, because of this I stopped studying or doing the homework. It was a big mistake. I ended up transferring schools and in sophomore year I was smacked in the face. I had no idea what was going on, I was so lost and I honestly cried. I cried because I couldn’t believe I was back to failing my math courses. I thought I finally got a hang of it, but it wasn’t the case. Luckily a friend of mines, encouraged me and help me understand it better. Didn’t do well that year, but junior year it was a lot better. I got into different study habits and not taking skills. In hopes I would do better this year, which I kinda did. I understood better and my grade for the class went up a bit higher. Not only did the theses notes and habits helped, but I went on Khan Academy, a website I am really thankful for. Because of this I was able to understand and catch up with my peers. I still go to it when there's a problem I do not understand. This senior year I’m continuing to work on my study habits and note taking skills, so I can have at least a C or B in math class. I’m determine to get better and once I enter college, I’ll declare war on math and finally take it down once in for all without crying in the middle of my exam. Math is not for everyone, definitely not for me. But I am willing to make a change for that.
