Moving To School

Returning to school was a big decision for me, although it was a rather hasty one. I have wanted to return for many years to seek an actual degree; however I just didn’t have the motivation. Being turned down for a promotion gave me the motivation I needed. There are obstacles and lifestyle changes for anyone returning to school. The issue is how you handle them and looking toward the benefits of finishing school. Obstacles and lifestyle changes are hard to make when returning to school, but the benefits are so rewarding.

I let out a big sigh and tried not to think about how stupid I would look on stage when I fell out of the turn and continued with class trying to distract myself from the worries. Another 45 minutes went by and class was over. She dismissed us and I walked to the front corner of the rectangular room to grab my sweatshirt that I had placed on the floor earlier that class. I then headed to the door and was about to exit the class when I heard a soft voice.

Life is full of decisions, which are both easy and hard. My parents' stories of escaping persecution from a

Lately, it seems, parents are getting more and more involved in their children's daily lives. A parents constant involvement in their child's lives can be a good thing, when their child is still a child and not so much after they have grown up. A new trend has sprung where parents feel it necessary to ,not only, take their child to college but to stay there with them.

I’ve been through a variety of things in my life so far. I am From Yuma, Arizona my family and I moved to Hampton, SC. Following that move, we left again due to my dad being laid off from work and we found a place to live which is here in Belton.

Morgan's mother came in to pick her up from school. I stood on the bus landing until she and her daughter came up the sidewalk. I asked her to make certain that she wrote a note if Morgan were to be picked up again. The teacher would not be able to take the word of a child without a note. Morgan's mother was very nice and assured me that she would write a note the next time. I did not leave and tell you that everyone was gone until the buses were pulling off. If Abraham called, I was either outside with Morgan's mother or standing at the door as the parent's were picking up their children. I do not pick up the phone during parent pick-up. I believe it is more important for me to know who the children are leaving with. I am uncertain when she

At sixteen, I packed up to move back to my hometown of Pascagoula, Mississippi. Deciding to finish out high school while living with my favorite aunt. I graduated with honors, I then decided to go off to Pearl River College. In high school, I had a serious boyfriend, we did everything together from fishing at the docks, to attending all the hottest parties. He was my best friend and going off to college where we couldn’t be together felt like a big dent in my heart. Being so in love while in college was more than a challenge. We went from seeing each other every day to seeing each other every weekend or every other weekend. School was the last thing on my mind. Depressed, lonely, all my time was spent in my dorm room. By the end of that semester without trying to succeed in school, I flunked out and quit.

Have you ever had a dream where you would do anything to follow it no matter the sacrifices? Going from being surrounded by all the people who love us in a place we are familiar with to walking into a new “home” all alone is a difficult change to adapt to. Moving to college has been a very hard leaving my childhood neighborhood and family but I’m willing to do anything to chase this dream of becoming a professional footballer. I’ve been chasing this dream most of my life, around age 7, and this dream still persists in my mind to this day.

Transitioning from a home of which most people spent 18 years of their lives with their parents, to moving to a completely new environment can have many effects on a person. For one, having a parent to cook or feed you most of the time can be very convenient. Personally, I have a mother who loves to cook. The refrigerator would always be stocked with healthy foods. However, as I moved to college, I must rely on myself to maintain a healthy diet as I would at home. This Is challenging because most of us college students are too focused on classes and school work, and don’t know how to cook or simply don’t have the time for it. This leads to easy mac, ramen noodles, and microwavable ravioli. Nutrition is a big health factor when it comes to college

When it was time to go school I made my mom drive me to school

Four hundred dollars later, everything is ready to be packed in the car; college is awaiting. I was both nervous and excited to begin a new chapter in life. Everyone I knew had my back and told me I was going to love college. I knew that there was going to be a few speed bumps through my college career, but nothing I could not handle. College has impacted my life through building my faith, establishing personal relationships, and experiencing the living atmosphere as a college student.

I felt like there was such a downcast with all that schoolwork pilling up more and more each day I just got so frustrated I was in a panic simply said. Then I just got further behind and started to watch YouTube and Netflix more often and it got more work behind. One day when I had like 29 overdue lessons I was watching YouTube and something just stuck with me that they said. The person in the video said “when this video is over I want you to do something productive do something you’ve wanted to do just do it”. So I started to try doing my schoolwork so I got done some of it but not as much I would have

As I was walking back to my attendance line coming from lunch I saw a glimpse of the shiny red fire alarm. “Hey Mason!” I quickly turned to see who was calling to me. It was my friend Logan. Logan and I have been neighbors for about 5 years, and ever since he moved we had been really good friends. Because our last names were close in alphabetical order, we also ended up standing next to each other in attendance lines.

The bell rang and I basically ran out first, perks of sitting in the front of the class. One more class and it's gym. I mean I'm a kinda athletic person. One week into senior year and I already don't want to come to school. Wow, typical me.

I ran down the hall to my classroom, ran through the door, rummaged through my desk, grabbed my bag and ran out the classroom.
