EOP Summer Program

I am interested in attending the USNA summer STEM program because I have the desire to one day attend the United States Naval Academy and for my love of science, biology in particular. I believe that gaining the exposure to the academy's campus and the various STEM activities provided will cause me to become even more determined in reaching my goals. I also bring the aspect of military lifestyle and the long term future goal of becoming an officer in the United States Navy into my reason of interest in the program. I would be very proud and honored to graduate from the academy and go on to serve in the United States Navy, fighting for, and retaining the freedom many before me have fought to gain and protect. In potentially increasing my knowledge

As a college freshman, I have a fear not being prepared for the level of classes, realizing that everyone is smart and pretty much on the same level. The pressure to maintain good grades is at times overwhelming but it helps to incorporate good organization and time management skills. Luckily my first semester schedule was one that worked and gave me an opportunity to adjust to college life. High school was so structured and time consuming with the day packed from early morning to late afternoon, with few downtime windows. For me, having extra

In the essay, “The Student Fear Factor’’, Rebecca Cox , I will be writing about on how one of the students that relates to me on her personal life experiences. Some college students find strategies to manage their fear on their first year of college because they feel nervous about on how are they going to do at college. College students feel sometimes they have concerns about not reaching their goals in life , not passing their courses, or afraid of life. The student that relate to me was Melanie because she recent graduate from high school and she enrolled in college. Melanie was a college student that attended at Lake shore community college. Melanie and I have similar situations that she went

One of the fear factors that happened to me was as soon heading to college, all I was thinking was, how are the professors going to be, are they going to be nice, funny, mean, or easy going? Another thing that had gotten me thinking is that if I was going to find a parking spot because college parking can be hard to find because it more students than high school. When I got there to Modesto junior college (east campus) I didn’t find a parking right away it took me a while to find one, but I realized that I should have left earlier from my house. Finding a parking distracted me about the nervously I had about how my professors will be. As soon as I got into the class room I got started to get butterflies in my stomach, some were about excitement and some about fear because I was scared to know how my professors can be.

Melanie and I have both in common that attended a community college , taking for course , recent graduated from high school, and first semester of college.

A third challenge I will be facing is time management. One of my most important roles in life is being a mother and a wife. Even though my family is very supportive of my decision to go back to school, I recognize that I must set aside time to share with them. I have set up a weekly calendar helping me

Many students are so overjoyed to fly the coop and go off to college that they have a hard time remembering that all education, not only college can be very challenging  therefore  “let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up”(Galatians 6:9) . The shock of it all can cause very negative reactions on people of all ages from partying all the way to simply procrastinating. Excitement is an amazing feeling but keeping it at bay can be a serious challenge.

If you select me for your Summer Seniors program, I will take every advantage it has to offer. At the USC Summer Seniors program, I will retain what I learn and use the information that I am taught to further my career. I want to experience life as a residential college student and know how to be a successful college student. The Summer Seniors program will teach me that. However, not only do I want to experience life as a college student, I want to experience it as a USC student. USC is one of the biggest college campuses I have ever seen. I live in a small town and go to a small high school. I also attend Tri-County Tech, a small college. Going to the Summer Seniors program will teach and prepare me how to navigate a campus with a larger

Summer bridge programs are a type of remediation and support program (Kezar, 2000). Like most of these programs, their creation resulted from the need to help new populations make the transition to college (Kezar, 2000). The main goal is to increase the retention rates of the populations that they serve and to ensure equal chances for success in their pursuit of quality education (Kezar, 2000). This is crucial because according to Gerdes and Mallinckrodt (1994) forty percent of college entrants leave higher education without earning a degree, and it is reported that studies show anywhere between twenty to forty percent of first time students require remedial coursework upon college entrance (National Conference of State Legislature, 2016).With that being said, Ohland and Crockett (2002) warn that programs should not identify themselves as being remedial as this may carry a stigma to the students which will hurt their retention efforts and numbers of participation.

EOPS offers students one on one counseling, the student can take advantage and talk to a counselor and enroll in the right classes.

The first way I was able to overcome the fear of going to college is by talking to my english teacher; Ms. Elliott. Some days I would think about this topic a lot. I decided to ask her some questions that I was concerned about. My main concern was that I couldn’t attend college without knowing

I believe EOP can help me financially. With this additional grant, I will focus on school more, become more unstressed when I work short hours at work. I will be able to focus more on school and have time in my schedule to visit professor office hours and receive feedback from wring tutors. This grant small or large will help me stay in school instead of possibly taking time off. Lastly, EOP can assist me with a job opportunity. Becoming a peer mentor will help me in my field of career and to work in a better environment surrounding by positive, knowledgeable and inspiring people. I will help students in my position or more unfortunate to succeed in life. EOP is a helpful program and can assist me financially and academically.

The fear that constantly comes into my mind is the fear of not knowing what intervention to use with a client. After going over so many different interventions in class, I regret having not taken the time to print and make a file on each specific intervention. Another fear is that during a 50 minute session, that I will not know what to say and we will fall into an awkward silence without me knowing where to go next. A fear perhaps less common, is that I fear not remembering specifics about the client. In therapy, it has been said that a useful tool is remembering something a client has said and filing it in your brain until many sessions later, that comment can be of therapeutic use. I fear that I will be unable to remember these types of comments or stories the client has told me because I have exceptionally poor memory for such things. Lastly, I'm sure another very common and general fear that I have is that I will not see any change in my clients and I fear that even if they stay through numerous sessions, that they will not feel any improvements in their well-being and that I will feel as if I have failed

The most obvious cause of anxiety in college students, of course, is the overall academic stress. During a college career, the student experiences a higher level of curriculum and possibly at a faster pace than they have previously experienced. This can create an overwhelming sense of drowning for the student. In addition to trying to stay on top of their school work the student then, has to handle the complex world that is financial aid. On top of schoolwork deadlines, the student now has to keep up with financial aid deadlines as well. Then there are all the different options such as Federal Pell Grants, Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, and possibly even Private Loans they have to navigate. The continual cycle of attending classes, homework, grades, and financial aid easily lends itself to anxiety. Another stressor that college students, especially the younger students face is
