A recent difficult situation that I found myself in was in the beginning of my first semester at Beloit College. The transition from high school to college was intense and difficult for me. In order to adjust to the new environment I had to let go of my lifestyle outside of campus, therefore I had to set boundaries with my friends that currently attend high school. I wanted to feel comfortable in my new environment, learn more about the people and the campus itself. I felt as if stepping off of campus more often and only hanging out with the people that I already knew hindered me from growing. In order to not offend my friends I began to get more envolved on campus. Eventually my friends picked up the idea that I had other responsibilities
During my high school career I was able to make lots of friendships, but had few close friendships. I was unable to have a large amount of girlfriends, because I did not feel a good connection with them. Instead, I hung out with a group of guys and had two girlfriends who had similar life stories. When I was sixteen I started working and that was something I enjoyed doing to make money. Once high school was over I felt like I had so much to look forward to. When college came around I didn’t see the same people every day and had to make new friends here at Anderson. This was challenging for me, because the dorms are full of females which was something that I have not been used to.

As teenagers in high school are in their final year of school, a sinking feeling sets in that you have to make a decision about what the next steps in your life are. For myself, I chose to take the less expensive route and stay closer to home. But most of my closest confidants respectfully chose routes they saw fit for themselves. This would end up meaning that I would not be five lockers down from people that I have been friends with for six plus years, which was a hard realization to come to. By the start of college, I would have friends at MSU, Grand Valley, CMU, California, Florida and England. With friendships being a huge priority to me this was not an easy thing to go through at the time. Knowing that the people I spent every day with
Being a first generation college student is something that I hold very close to my heart, growing up watching my parents struggle is what drives me to work hard and do better everyday. When I envision my future, I see a strong independent woman who works hard to give back to the community and the people that helped shape the person she is.

I want to join the FIU Honors College because it offers its students the opportunity to obtain a greater involvement in FIU and the community as well as being able to pursue their academic interests with a diverse group of individuals. This is something I would love to be a part of and contribute to during my upcoming years at FIU.
I strongly believe that every failure is a learning experience that should be taken as a lesson to grow from. I previously attended a 4 year university that became too much for me; attending school full-time, working 35 hours per week while trying to figure out what it is that I really wanted out of this university experience. I ended up failing most of my classes, putting my health at risk drowned by the tremendous amount of stress and just wanted to completely give up. Looking for a fresh start I decided to leave my university, and attend Norwalk Community College. Though this decision created self-doubt in the beginning, it soon came to my realization that it was the best decision I ever made. Immersed in an environment full of positive people, I was able to grow from the experience.

What is the main thing that students look at before attending a school? Tuition fees. Everyone have a tendency of looking at the tuition fee and setting there life goal if they should spend that much just to attend school. On a Tulsa Community College site, the publisher of “Cost of Attendance” asserts that TCC offers the cheapest fee’s. As the publisher of the site, they state That the “Tuitions fees are $2,800” the “Book and Supplies are $1,560” the “Rooms are $8,694” the “Boards are $2,367” and “Transportation is $1,178”. These are by far the lowest prices to be observed for a high school senior. Tulsa Community College is really doing it’s best to help and support their students. You save a lot of money with these kinds of prices. Now turning
Hi Hong Phuc Nguyen, I suggest that Learning Resource Center is very useful for Cypress college students. I often go to there once or twice a week. In the first semester, I had an orientation in here. I am taken around here by the office assistants. Then, I know a lot of things in here. After that, I often go to there to study or need to help. I share room with another family who have 2 babies . So that, it is too noisy for me to study. It is essential to me to study in slient place. When I go there, I am free to use computers with wifi connection. Besides that, I can meet tutors to ask them what English lesson I can not understand in classes. And then , I can count time to get credit fot my EsL classes. I highly recommend other students
Central Christian College administrative team and staff, thank you for considering me a candidate for the program where I can still attend college, even though my high school grade point average was not where it should have been. I appreciated it beyond words. This is a huge blessing to me, as I have been putting off school for far too long.
A true scholar is one who is able to extract from a learning experience, a holistic and well-rounded interpretation and a world view. Enrollment at GCU, presents the student with an opportunity to pursue that ideal. With the embodiment of the four pillars offered; “academic advancement, Christian camaraderie, extracurricular excellence and wellness and well-being”, (Grand Canyon University, n.d.), one is given the best opportunity to become an even more well-rounded individual. This is what makes the difference by comparison to a non-faith-based university; a belief and a system that operates on the premise that a “quality education coexists with faith in the 21st century” (Grand Canyon University, n.d.). Here, there is a focus on delving
I chose a liberal arts college because I felt as though a liberal arts college was the perfect fit for me based on the characteristics that distinguish them from large universities and for-profit colleges. I knew that I wanted a small school because I wanted the experience to be more personalized than what I would get at a large university. I wanted to have smaller classes and the ability to go to my professors outside of the classroom to seek help or understanding. That is a bit more difficult in large universities. I also wanted to have the ability to take classes that aren’t necessarily for my major. I believe that having the ability to venture out and educate yourself and take classes out of curiosity rather than requirement is what most
My freshman year is where it all started. I stuck with my quieter friends from middle school instead of the more extroverted ones. I did not think much of it at the time, as I was not as self-aware about who they were. I talked to them and they considered me to be their friend for a while. During that period, I gradually became more open-minded and began to realize who they were and why they acted the way they did. Unfortunately, it had been a while since I talked to my outgoing friends, so I was
In regards to my denied admissions, I fully understand the reasoning for the rejection. Considering my latest semesters at Fullerton College my GPA was not up to the requirements and also did not show my strengths as a student. I would like to ask to be reconsidered for my admission.
