Grand Canyon University Student Analysis

After a car accident three years ago, God used the recovery period to hone my old skills and birth new. Over the course of the process, He repositioned me for a different journey. The new path led to a transition from a secular K-12 setting to Christian higher education; yet, still within the context of supporting a diverse student population. My purpose became preparing and teaching ministerial leadership in a

Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) has an established community living agreement, which directs all its members on how to carry themselves within the institution’s environment, as well as in the community. The institution’s mission is to offer higher education within a Christian community where character is modeled and transformed to express Christian faith. Students who join the institution are expected to maintain good conducts, which are guided by the Holy Spirit.

I hereby write in regards to admission into Grand Canyon University. As a matter of fact, I chose this particular university based on its Christian values as well as the excellent students it has produced from the wide variety of quality courses. The university has also shown a commitment to developing their students all-round through extra-curricular activities and other areas with the fact that it was the first ever for-profit university- and the only one too- to participate in Division One athletics for NCAA. The institution offers me with the best environment and university to pursue my education and foster the attainment of my long term ambitions and dreams.

While I loved my job, I was feeling restricted in what I can teach people as far as nutrition, mindset and faith. I was also feeling the need to earn more money for myself, my family and the ministries I believe in.

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.

Consistency and dedication. Two qualities that saved me from a significant drop in my academics in my sophomore year. I was doing just fine at Cajon High School, my grades were not as good as I wanted them to be, but they were still acceptable. Overall I was very delighted to be there. However, this all changed when my parents told me that we were moving from San Bernardino to Hesperia, California and I would be transferring high schools.

Word of Faith is over 10 years old and still going strong. We currently have a State Licensed Childcare and Preschool that operates in Pueblo, Colorado. We also serve in Denver, Colorado where my husband Pastor Greater St. John Baptist Church. He has pastored at Greater St. John for over 2 year. Understanding the need to seek the Word of God for myself and having the desire to serve Him whole heartedly, I embarked on my journey in 2009. I had a fear of not being successful in college due to my failure of not completing High School based on a lack of a ½ credit. This was a secret that I kept for years for my children because, I wanted them to be successful in High School and not be distracted by my set back. In 2009, after much prayer, I decided to share with my children what I had experienced. They had all graduated High School by then. Following and being obedient to God to share my story with them, they all encouraged me to go forth and achieve my High School Diploma. I called Goal Academy and set up everything to visit them. I complete my Diploma in a short time. I was only a ½ credit short but I had to take additional classes to be enrolled there. I completed the classes with a

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.

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

I believe each and every student is capable of learning and achieving academic success, however some children require individualized support to ensure their success. A strength I posses that supports high academic expectations for all Houston ISD students is my ability to motivate and empower young children of all types to want to be successful. I am committed to creating a classroom culture where high expectations are set and most importantly constantly communicated to students. I have the ability to lead and differentiate engaging lessons where the diverse learning needs of all students are supported. I am a teacher that believes high academic expectations will be met when lessons are presented in a way that suits all learning styles. I use classroom management strategies to set students up for success.

Towson University is committed to academic excellence by providing an environment that fosters appreciation for diversity and where creativity and critical thinking are honed for success. These attributes are fundamental to who I am and I believe that my communication and leadership skills will allow me to grow and contribute to the overall experience at Towson University. To support this view I am sharing a story of experiences underpinning important aspects of me that align with the values of Towson University.

The three colleges I have chosen to apply to are Hinds Community College Vicksburg-Warren Campus, Alcorn State University, and Copiah-Lincoln Community College. The reasons I have selected these three colleges are based on location, financially feasible and great reviews I have heard from others about their own personal experience or had a family member who attended one of these colleges. I have a handicap Uncle that I help take care of so I need to be close home in order to help my mother. I have talked with mother and a few friends about my interest and goals and I have their complete support in my endeavors. Also I received great reviews on these colleges from other people and this is how I chose the three schools that will meet my

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.

I can remember missing 8:05 classes because I stayed out too late the night before. In high school the teacher would constantly remind the students when certain assignments were due, but this was not the case in college. I learned that the hard way my first semester. Sometimes I forgot to turn in an assignment because I didn’t properly read my syllabus and my professor never mentioned it. These were all new problems that could have easily let escalate without taking the proper actions. For the most part I was doing fairly well but a few of my grades began to plummet. I was losing the confidence in myself and started to wonder if going to college had been the best decision. The time had come for me to grow up and become an adult even I didn’t feel the time was right. I immediately began attending tutoring sessions, working with peers and also keeping a daily to-do list. These factors were the eventually led to drastic improvement and success. After my first semester I learned how better manage my time, take advantage of campus resources and also how to organize myself better. These struggles also taught me that sometimes I try and rush through things instead of taking my time. I realized that one of my strong points is being able to really do well when my back is against the wall. Although I was unhappy while facing obstacles I am happy I experienced them. I believe this experience was the reason for my
