Being that my mother was a single mother, we had a close relationship, we were each other’s support. My sister and I had a bond beyond a normal sibling’s relationship, we were each other’s stability when there wasn’t any and each other support when we felt it was lacking. My sister and I were mature and very responsible at a young age, we seemed to have grown up fast. My mother nor father had gone to college, they were both educated in trades therefore, and college was never discussed. I research college, went on campus tours, applied to college and went on an interview with friends. I chose Bay Path College for many reasons but, many because it was not too far from home. I chose Legal Studies as my major, I’m not sure why, other than it sounded like an interesting career. Relationships were far from my mind and I avoided dating at all costs until the summer before college …show more content…
I graduated from college and found a job at a law office, the law in a practice sense was very different than the class room and I hated it. I remained best friends with my sister, my mother and I were still very close even though she was busy finding herself. I became very close with one friend who was my support, she accepted me without judgment and was a very significant person in my life. I was still in a relationship with the guy I met before college, he was four years older than myself and played the role of a father which, I was of the need of at this period of time in my life. We bought a house together when I was 22, I was focused on finances and renting seemed as if it was a waste of money. Looking back, this period of time had little obligations which gave me the ability to I travel and lived selfishly, although I was always anxious and overwhelmed. I wasn’t completely clear as to who I was and what I wanted to be. I was married at 25 however, was divorced two years
The strengths and weaknesses of Skagit Valley College differ from which campus you attend. The particular strengths and disadvantages can range from: students able to retake their Compass Test, high school students can attend free, Skagit prepares students for four year colleges; but my campus does not have many classes, its first come/first serve, and it’s a small school that doesn’t have many programs. My campus has criminal justice classes, but not a criminal justice program. The class points you in the right direction but doesn’t help you in real life situations. There could be possible solutions for these weaknesses.
Two colleges I would like to attend is High Point University and UNC Pembroke. I would like to attend High Point because it is near both Winston-Salem and Greensboro. UNC Pembroke is also a great option to attend to because I noticed that the campus is closed off which will help in staying focus but it’s not as close to the city. My academic interest is in natural science involving biology but also math. My social interests is doing activities in the city in order to have a separation from campus life.
Fall of 2015 was my first semester attending Los Angeles Valley College. My first time being introduced to an actual education unlike high school which was a complete depletion of effort because they deliberately advanced me despite my weaknesses and horrible grade point average at the end of high school. Not only was my mind vulnerable due to having that habit from high school which was turning in homework’s months late, never having to study because I’d be pass either way and homework’s, tests, weren’t even correct thoroughly. Besides not being prepared due to not being exemplified how to prepare, I stumbled across another issue where my trust was given and once again failed to thoroughly exhibit what was being presented. In this same
There are over 37,776 students currently attending California State University of Long Beach (CSULB). CSULB is a great school to attend to because of their history, mission, degrees and programs, clubs and organizations, athletics program, their community relationships, and current alumnus testimonials.
While, my family is fully able to pay for my college, I also have two sisters whose college tuition will need to be paid for in the next several years and I prefer smaller institutions, which tend to be more expensive. I believe I will be provided with a more in-depth and personally tailored education at a smaller university. My family and I have also come a long way in the past 17 years. My mother married into an abusive relationship when she became pregnant with my older sister then divorced in 2005; unknowing leaving my sisters and I to deal with parental abuse. During her time away from us, she accepted herself and her sexual orientation despite social constructs in our home state of Alabama. Through many custody battles, which lasted

I handled the metal nervously; nervously, my willful negligence deliciously tormenting me. A single bullet, and with it the power to exert my will upon whatever I wished. I had no need for a gun. I wouldn't have been permitted to own one even if I had needed to. The bullet was illicitly sourced from underneath the front porch of a friends old cabin. Though initially ordered by my parents not to keep it, their pleas went unheeded. Adrenaline coursed through my veins, filling my heart with artificial courage. Not once did the idiocy of actions cross my six year-old brain, why should it? With not a single being present on the neighborhood block besides myself, I prepared to let my naive curiosity get the better of me.
Aurora Hoey. She’s an 18-year old student at Bay Path University. She’s moved around a lot in her life from place to place in Massachusetts but right now she calls Northfield, Vermont her home. Her family means so much to her. She has 2 little brothers who mean the world to her. Including her little brothers she has four half siblings, three step siblings, and two adoptive sibling for a total of 9 siblings. Everyone in her life is significantly important in her life, but no one could ever compare to the attachment she has with her mom.
One of the most admirable aspects of Wellesley College is that hugely ambitious projects are not only encouraged by the institution, but are assisted and funded by Wellesley. Ever since I was a child, I chased after dreams that were unrealistically bold. Most of the time they truly were unrealistic -- I have probably failed twenty times for every success I’ve had. While the few triumphant successes I’ve had are minuscule achievements compared to large-scale research projects or service trips, I realized through these experiences how much easier and motivating it would be to have an encouraging community supporting my goals. As a person who has had countless insane ambitions and will have many more in the future, I find the supportive community at Wellesley incredibly attractive and inspiring. One project I have always hoped to start is an art collective where different
Opening my sketchbook, the image of a whole city sleeping quietly while white snow blankets it with its beauty captured my eyes. Memories pulled me back to two years ago; to the first time I encountered Boston University. It was winter, the whole campus was covered in snow, which made the old classic buildings and accustomed roads all covered with white, just like in Cinderella’s stunning evening dress. Gazing at this image dressed in white, I tried to suppress the stirring in my heart. For me, Boston University is a mystery, and I would probably regret it for the rest of my life if I did not grasp this opportunity to be a part of this fairy tale.
From the moment, I had stepped on Creighton’s campus for my student visit as a high school senior, I knew that I wanted to go to Creighton University. It had everything I wanted, a beautiful campus, small class sizes, and a great pre-med program. My mom could even tell that I wanted to go to Creighton, the moment I got home and started talking about my visit. However, there were two things holding me back from going to Creighton. The first reason was that I thought Creighton was not far enough away from home for me to be able to show my independence. The second and main reason was that I had a better scholarship from Rockhurst University. Being the oldest in my family, I often look out for my younger siblings and because of that I was worried
Although my parents had divorced and I was living with my mom and brother at my grandparents’ house, my life
Everyone has or should have an ideal; something which he can look forward to, of which he may dream, and for which he may strive. In our colleges we come across many defects or limitations. We often discuss these among ourselves. And in course of these discussions, and as a result of them, we come to cherish a vague notion of what would be an ideal college, at last, what we would regard as an ideal. Here of course I speak mostly for myself.
I was raised in Southern California. At the time I was a freshman and had so much going. I was attending my dream high school and cheering for a competitive team, but best of all I had my family and friends. Around this time my mother had met a man, Mike. They met through a friend and she really liked him. One downfall, he lived in Northern California. After some time of commuting my mother, my sister, and me packed up our life to go live with him. We started our own family and a new life. Jumping a few years into the future things unexpectedly turned for the

The university will remained the said residential college after Navy Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper who was a pioneering computer scientist.
