Los Angeles Valley College Reflection

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.

Turtle Mountain Community College is a tribal community college with obligations of direct community service to the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians. Under this unifying principle the college seeks to maintain, seek out and provide comprehensive higher education services in fields needed for true Indian self-determination.

In the article Our Crazy College Crossroads, Frank Bruni, addresses the topic of rejection involving students who are applying to colleges by using pathos to connect to his readers on the topic. The author appeals to his readers by uprooting the idea of rejection and worth that are commonly felt by students who are rejected from their top school. He does this through the use of metaphor, rhetorical questions and aggressive statements. Bruni attacks many opposing views such as of Malcolm Gladwell by criticizing the science behind his an argument. Bruni also points out the difference between those who get in to Ivy League colleges and those who don’t. He does this by presenting the means that some individuals lack such as financial support,

I am a student at Valley Prep Academy (VPA) in Fresno, California. I am 12 years old and I have been at this school for three years. This is the best school I ever been to! I want this classroom to be comfortable as it can be. For this to happen we would like it if their is alternative seating. At (VPA) we have also have gotten all our school and office supplies from Staples.

Institutional analysis has been a crucial component of understanding race and ethnic relations. As many of our institutions are based on education, they are a necessary foundation for establishing equity. Cal Poly has a reputation of having small numbers when it comes to students and faculty of color. While the majority of the population has insisted that conditions have improved, the remainder of the demographics are still underrepresented. Events such as Culture Fest are cultural celebrations, which are held throughout the year to build community for people of color on campus. The attendance of white students for these events is relatively low, and there are mixed feelings about whether or not the numbers should increase. I interviewed six

UC Merced (UCM) was opened by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and was established as the 10th UC school. UC Merced was mainly accessible to those that lived in the San Joaquin Valley and the people in Fresno. The school is also very alike to its other establishments such as UCLA and UCI because of the school colors and how they have open enrollment. The location for the campus was chosen in 1995 in Merced County which was where the school received its name and the campus was also adjacent to Lake Yosemite Park. UC Merced was made with a long-term vision because it had started a long-range enrollment plan before the school even had a set location. The way the land was chosen was because it had to have easy accessibility for Merced high school students and the land was to be donated by the Virginia Smith Trust. It was also chosen to be adjacent to Lake Yosemite Park to have adequate water

Walking into the doors of Delaware County Community College the 1st day of my freshman year, I did not think I would be where I’m at now. I was so cocky towards school, thinking I could slide through college classes just as easy like I did with highschool, Boy, I was wrong. I started skipping classes, not turning in my work on time, and honestly not giving school the best of my ability. Even out of school I was off course, I got my licence right at the beginning of the semester so I was out until 12 every night, sometimes even later. Most of those nights, I didn't even sleep at home. The fact I wasn’t a child anymore and I was in college, I wanted freedom without the responsibility. I actually took INT during my first semester but I didn't take it seriously.

Living in Small town located in the Central Valley in state of California. I began my freshman year in 2012 at the Avenal High School. My first day of class and everything seemed to be new for a fourteen years old teenager with big expectations about his future education .Dealing with new people and teachers that I did not back time, I go used to them. Attending to school seemed to be easy when it is not, but also it is not hard if you have determination and discipline. I can tell that I have not fallen my none of classes. There was moment when I got lower grade because I have not been paying attention to the lessons that the teacher was teaching to the class. The mistake of getting lower grade did not make a weak student. I learned to

There is no knowing what my legacy at UC Irvine may be, but I will describe what my goal is for the next four years. Of course it includes doing well in all my classes, however I would like to accomplish more than that and at a deeper level. I would like to work with other students to make our community become more united than it already is. Fitting in is one thing, but making others feel welcomed is much more important. College is a place where connections and ties are established and everyone should be able to do so. It would be of great pleasure to join groups where as a collective we help not only each other, but also the community around us. The legacy I want to create is not for me but rather for the notion of an interconnected and involved

I never imagined myself transferring, it just wasn’t part of my plan, and habitually when transformation or transitioning occur, I adapt. Usually. As my reserved personality highlights, I’ve never been one to take extraordinary risks or be bold when something isn’t quite right. But during this first year of my college experience, being bold is becoming more substantial to my success.

It was my first day of college and I rushed through the campus of Colorado Mesa University to get to my first class. Even though I was in a hurry, I couldn’t help but notice how lush and green the grass was and how clean everything looked. I began to slow my pace as I found my attention captivated by the campus around me. The buildings looked new, the benches looked clean, the grass wasn’t brown and dry. Everything seemed so organized and well maintained, unlike my high school. After several minutes I made it to my first class and realized that slowing down to look around the campus made me even more late than I already was. I stood outside the door for a few minutes because I was so embarrassed to go in, fearing

Metropolitan area, I felt that I would be able to meet the rigor of the college-preparatory program of Georgetown Visitation. But it was there that I met one of the hardest classes I had experienced, freshman year Physics. As my teacher said, “It’s like a wall between the knowledge in my head and the words I wrote on my test.” I sat in class every day doing my best to understand and comprehend but as much as I went to see my teacher and listened to my tutor, it seemed like I could not make the grades. I studied and tried so hard I focused more on physics then studying any other subject that my other classes suffered. I felt like I was a failure and did not belong in a school like Georgetown Visitation, because all I seemed to do was struggle and

I admit, I had a very challenging time last semester, and as a result my grades suffered. I don’t mean to make excuses for my poor performance in school but I would like to explain my circumstance. During my second semester of college I treated my classes like I did in high school thinking I could coast by and pass my classes, but when I noticed how poorly I was doing in class everything was already headed downhill. I started the second

Last week I presented my supervisor a visual of the new Ivy Tech diversity page. He gave me his feedback to help me improve the page. He also gave me some suggestions for the page such as redefine diversity because he thinks the definition we currently have is to too long. My focus on this project is to get students input. I have a whole section on the website where we ask students what their definition of diversity is regarding religion, age, and gender. I think this is important for our department so that we can focus on their beliefs. This week I will be meeting with the website technicians so that we can update my new version onto the Ivy Tech website.

I returned to full time education to College after having a gap in my education for over ten years. I was a mature student and I was a little apprehensive at first about starting because I didn’t know what to expect. There were several groups on the course I thought I was in a very nice group at first but after a few weeks things changed and the bitchiness and back stabbing started. I was in control of my anxiety at first but the singling me out and bulling got too me. Making it hard for me to be in class I would go and see the Colleges Councillor to help me calm down and to keep me on track with my work. My grades got worse with missing classes as the bulling got more and more then I eventually had a panic attack in class and reluctantly told the tutor I didn’t want to get them in trouble. My grades suffered from this I worked my hardest to pass the course, but I did not for fill my potential. I later found out that I could apply for the Foundation course for Community Health and Wellbeing at USW something I did not think I could ever do with my grades. I had applied for the Adult Nursing Course previous, but I did not meet their criteria with my grades. Now starting Community Health and wellbeing, it has now given me a chance to make something of myself and to be proud of something.
