I Want To Attend Medgar Evers College

Gary Colombo, Robert Cullen, and Bonnie Lisle in their book “Rereading America” feel that commencing college is a very disturbing experience. So many things we have to deal while starting college, but the major challenges are expanded difficulty levels and higher expectation which we are not familiar over the years of high school. In order to solve this issue, we have to remodel ourselves by taking up the challenge and rethink about our strength and flaws. To succeed in college we need to be mentally strong and dedicated towards our goal.

The career that I have always dreamed of pursuing is a career involving music. I am interested in being an elementary school music teacher. This career would be a perfect fit for me due to the fact that I love children and music. It is one of my natural abilities to care for others and to share my knowledge of music. I would love to share my love for music to those younger than me. To be able to do this career, you must possess the attributes of patience, care, and calmness. In this career you must be upbeat, musical, and willing to help kids even when things get noisy. (Elementary Music Teacher: Job Duties, Career Outlook, and Educational Requirements) I possess all of these qualities, so I truly believe that

Starting college as a Freshman is exciting; it is also unnerving. The comfort of everything I know is going to disappear and it will be time to grow up and face reality. However, reality isn’t doomed to be negative if I prepare for my future and

Coming to college as an adult, we have many expectations and preconceptions of what college will or will not be. The expectations we have can influence our college life for the better or the worse. My experience since starting college has been an interesting one. People have misconceptions about college because they do not know what to expect. After doing some research, I have concluded that there are three major factors that are often misunderstood about college life. The first is the financial aspect of college. Second, is the relationship between the professors and students. Third is time management. These three factors play an important role in why people are afraid to go down the path to college.

I wear my heart on my sleave and I am always looking out for the best in others. I am a best friend, a shoulder to cry on, and will do anything for those that I care about. I am honest with my feelings enabling others to uncover and understand their emotions. I am the glue that holds tenuous factions together. I bring out the best in others just by being myself. At my best I have a fearless loyalty for doing what’s right within all aspects of my life.

I found out that persistence is the best thing I can do in order to accomplish any academic goal during college. If I really want to accomplish what I want, I will do it. I am starting to understand that there is always difficult times in life, but as soon as they got fixed I need to work on what I was not able to do before, take advantage of the time that I have free and use it as much as I can for academic purposes. In order to be a more strategic learner for this summer semester, that I know that is going to be fast, and the next fall semester I will keep doing this monitoring, by buying a planner and taking notes of what I need to complete every day, and stablish goals for every

Through the course Strategies for College Success Cpd 150 taught by Michelle Garland one can learn many things. Despite this course possibly being more helpful to others then it was to me it did still teach me multiple things. At the beginning of the course I had been dealing with relationship drama and figuring out how online college works, now halfway through the course the drama has subsided and I understand how online college works.I have learned that one of the most important factors of college success is determination. It is a person's ability to keep trying as hard as they can no matter what comes their way. I say this because college can be difficult and even seem pointless at times, but those who are determined enough to keep going, to keep trying, will eventually succeed. Although I am stubborn I have issues staying determined, I do generally accomplish what I need to. Another skill going along with determination is the ability to seperate the various areas of ones life. For example the ability to have a fight with your best friend then go to class and learn just fine. Now while this can be harmfull as well, since it does involve temporarily bottling your emotions, it can also

College is indirectly served to have fun, make new friends, and learn about ourselves. As an attendant at Miami-Dade College I would never forget the real reason for enrolling in this institution. Any other individual who is a current student should know that education is the knowledge of putting potential to maximum use. Throughout the semester I have been given various assignments and objectives to comprehend making it challenging. At Miami-Dade College, the professors offer a variety of ways that can ensure academic success. My academic success this semester came with being able to be self-motivated, communicate with professors, and use available resources throughout the campus.

During my high school days and the last few semesters when I was at Sandhill Community College I was way too comfortable. I slacked off and all I was thinking about was just getting doing the minimum to just be finished already. Recently, I was pushed by the looks of my grades that I just needed to get things done; I wanted to be free, not to do my best, just to finish so I could say I passed all my classes. Now I realize life isn’t about just getting by, but about bringing all you have to be able to become successful in what needs to be done. In the next paragraphs I will explain what I expected to happen, what actually happened, what I learned, and how I will apply what I learned to future plan.

I am a kind and caring person even when it is sometimes not wanted. I work hard and make sure what is due gets done, I am not the type of person to skip out on assignments. I go mow lawns for my grandparents, Oscar and Corinnia, to help them out. They need help cleaning their house sometimes, I never really tell them no. I will dust off the shelves, along with sweep and mop the floors. They have done so much for me that I could never repay them for it, helping them clean is one way. My friends can trust me with basically anything, I will not tell someone who did what unless it is specified that I can. I am good with secrets because I usually forget about it unless it is brought up in a conversation. I also take care of my brother when I get home from doing whatever I need to

I have narrowed down my career options to either something in engineering, like architecture, or being a music worship director for a church. My current school classes and extracurriculars line up with these careers. In the Fall, when I start sophomore year, I will be taking a very in depth engineering course to learn more about the profession. I also take regular piano and guitar lessons along with playing piano at my church’s Middle School and High School youth groups as part of the worship band. Since I am homeschooled, I do not participate in activities with my school, but I do many activities outside of school. I am part of SOLO swim team. I also take golf lessons at the Stanford University Golf Course. I am very active in my Scout troop, attending all meetings and outings possible. Finally, I participate in numerous different programs through my church, Menlo Church.

I have seen that it is easy to fall behind and lose track of what needs to be done. I have for the past two years of my college experience tried very hard not to fall behind. I have worked diligently in all of my classes and it reflects in my GPA. I am also not taking the easiest way out either. I am taking full semesters with 15 or 18 hours each. I try to get a good mix of classes from different areas. This semester I am taking numerous upper level courses along with lower ones. Some of these classes include tasks that must be done each day and other ones only need to be done once or twice a week. I feel that achieving good grades through the variety of classes that I am taking is a great achievement for me. College is different from high school; students have more freedom. I am proud of myself for my achievement of maintaining my high grades throughout my first couple of years at Lincoln University. I plan to continue to preserve my high grades all the way until

I have been a student at Citrus College since the Summer of 2014. Every semester has been a growing experience for myself as a person whether it's been good or bad, but I never stopped persevering my goal of reaching a university because of the amazing support system I've found on campus. Growing up in single parent household my mom had always stressed the importance of education, yet I felt like school wasn't for me. It was a chore, that here at Citrus College has turned into a pleasure. I feel at home whether I'm out running with the Cross Country team or at the Real Estate club banging out our next campus activity. It makes it easy to want to give my academics my best because I don't want to let down all the people around me who have invested

Many people believe success in college is rocket science, but actually it’s the exact opposite. College is set up for students with the most basic high school knowledge to have a chance to excel. It’s the simple things that can make or break a student’s college career. Things such as going or not going to class. No brainer right? Sometimes sleep seems so much better than eight o’clock A.M. math, but a successful college student has to have the willpower to resist the temptation to not skip out on class. College is all about learning and not cutting corners, which only will hurt in the end. Everyday of missed class information will be lost, therefore the lack of understanding will show on a test or pop quiz. Attendance is a key to success. If I don’t go
