College Experience In College

The most challenging obstacle I faced was during middle school. Not only was I outcasted simply because my character did not fit into a whitewashed rich boy image.Most of my classmates would simply only think of themselves and how they can make themselves even more popular. During middle school I still hadn’t realized not fitting in would be fine. Not only did this incident brought me depression people simply didn’t care. Simply giving me punishments every time my grade fell. I would still tell myself to be happy that everything would be all right. But all it did was give me a fake mask to face reality.

During their highschool years, students often look forward to college. Not necessarily as a step towards a career, but as an experience. Over the years, the media sells teenagers the idea of the ‘’college experience’’. They promote it through movies, tv shows and ads. It’s made out to be this amazing transcendental and essential part of life. Miss out on it, and you’ll have missed out on your youth. It’s not only media though, older relatives and peers, influenced by the media, further influence teens. They talk of their own cool college stories and how much fun it’ll be once you’re there. Is your main reason for going to college to live this experience? Then let’s see if it’s worth it.

My greatest challenge was overcoming my social issues. Two years ago I walked through the doors of Montgomery Middle School after moving from another small town...again. Before that, we had moved every year, so I never made lasting friendships.

The most significant challenged that I faced was when I lost my grandfather. He biologically wasn't my grandfather, but he was in my life for most of it. He passed away five years ago from colon cancer, but he had me promise him something, that I wouldn’t let people interfere with my schooling and my success. When he asked this from me, I was a bit angry with him because he was demanding something that I had difficulty overcoming. He was expecting too much from me, and I didn’t if I had the confidence or strength to conquer this.

The most significant challenge I have faced was when I was growing up was reading. Reading is one of the most important things it was hard for me to say some words that I thought I was never gonna learn to read ever even if they were just small words or big words I struggle so much while growing up. When I was

Everyone goes through a challenge at some point in their life. I went through a challenge last year at the beginning of my freshman year attending Foothills Christian High School. Last year, my freshman year I did not know anybody starting the school year. This made me super nervous to start high school. I was also concerned about the three days a week at school and two days homeschool. One of my challenges was going to school and parts of that challenge was not knowing anybody starting school, having to go to school on three days a week instead of five, and not knowing the campus well.

A significant challenge that I faced that I thought I might not accomplish was in sophomore year. I believed I would not be able to pass my science class. I was almost failing the entire year but the last quarter was the worst. The teacher made a huge test that would help anyone that was almost failing and I studied every night until the test which was for about a month and a half. I was sure I would still end up failing because I wasn’t sure about many of the topics we had discussed. On testing day, we had time before the test to study even more and I had one of my friends test me with flashcards that I created; there was over one hundred of them. While taking the test, I was freaking out and ended up not answering some of the questions because

The most significant challenge I have had was when I first started school I didn’t speak English well; when I started school communication was difficult with my teacher and my peers. The year following that I was enrolled in speech classes to practice pronunciation and learn vocabulary. During the time I spent in those classes , I felt left out of the rest of the class. I would go to Speech everyday and when Friday came around every week my first grade class had Fun Friday . When Fun Friday would begin at the end of every Friday I was sent away to Speech. This affected my academic achievement by making me work twice as hard as peers in and outside of class.

The most significant challenge that I have faced in high school is my grandmother passing away. She was an amazing woman who helped to raise me as much as she could. As tragic as it may have been her passing actually helped me grow as a person and a student. It helped give me perspective on what my priorities really are.

The most significant challenge I have faced was finding out the news that my father had Stage 3 Colon Cancer. I was devastated finding out this news giving the fact that

A personal challenge that I was able to overcome was when my parents got the news that they were going to be deported. I remember I had barely started my high school education and I had been going through my own problems of getting accustomed to school and getting my grades up. It all happened when I

The time that I faced challenges in my life would have to be when my mother was diagnosed with a thyroid cancer. It happened when I was about to be released from Navy in South Korea, and my plan was to go back to the United States and finish my study. Even though that I was not a model and responsible student at Indiana University, I thought I have grown since I served my country. So, I thought I was ready to go back to school and finish my education. However, my mother was diagnosed with cancer two months before I was being released and I decided to stay home to look after my mother and get a job to meet our family’s financial needs because my mother could no longer work and provide for both me and herself. It was a pretty tough situation

In an article posted by Jessica Kane, there is a direct quote by Debra Lipson who stated “don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone. Try new things. Remember everyone is in the same boat as you are and they’re just as nervous!” College is the place where a person goes to study about the major he or she desires. The knowledge received here equips the person so that they can dedicate the rest of their life to their preferred job field. Even though many hear that the college experience is cool because of the parties, games, and other fun activities, it is not an easy phase as it requires dedication and a lot of time to study and complete assignments so one can earn good grades. This is a beautiful experience that college offers and not everyone is fortunate to have such an experience. Therefore, one should take advantage and benefit from it.
