My College Life at Princeton

Since the start of the semster I have learned many different things about myself and how I can become a better student all around. Summer classes can fly by fast and doesn’t feel like a real semester. That it is just to get credit and move on to the next semester. That was not the case for me this summer semester because I needed to think about the rest of my college career. This summer semester is my first one coming back from academic suspension and I took last semester at South Plains College and Tarrant County College. I did really well making a 3.00 GPA overall and am most likely going to make a 3.5 this semester. This will be a huge boost to my overall GPA. The point is am at the point where I am ready to graduate and will try my hardest to get the best grades I can. I really just changed my mindset towards college and the way I prepare for tests and studying.

Today I don’t live a life of shame or insecurities. I try to my live life one day at a time and live in the moment. I try to focus on what’s in front of me and not dwell on the past. Enjoying the simple things that life has to offer me and being grateful for what I have, keeps me motivated to set and reach my goals. Remorse and embarrassment is no longer how I choose to describe my existence. I have taken responsibility for all my actions and dealt with all my consequences with integrity and dignity.

I can earnestly say that I am blessed to attend Beloit. college It allows me to see the world from a different perspective for what I am use to, and that may be a dilemma when I return back home. Beloit College is a liberal school where everyone is open to new idea's while back at home at everyone is more structure and demanding. In college I can come and go place as I please, without getting consensus from an adult. Meanwhile, back at home it is imperative that I check in with my grandparents when I leave the house, so they can know where I am going. At school I eat healthy full coarse meals while back at home we eat fried chicken or fried pork with rice every other day. Life at Beloit College and life back home differ in various ways.

Surprisingly, a student entered our room; it was the same guy I had seen earlier. He walked in with an air of confidence as he spiked up his dark brown hair, then sat beside me. This really shocked me. Gosh, is this real? I could not pay attention to what my teacher was discussing for the rest of the period because of him. Five minutes before the period ended, I excitedly said with a lower voice, "Hi, I'm Lauren." He stared at me and he removed one of his earphones and said "Oh hey, my name is... Jonathan Lemuel." He hesitated. "But my friends called me Lem" he added and smiled. It was the first time I had confidence talking to a guy I liked. "What's your next class?" I asked, he answered quietly "Math" and he started packing his things. We did not have enough time to talk because we only had few minutes to go to our next classes, unfortunately, not in the same class. Since then, I couldn’t stop thinking about our conversation, although it was a "Hi and Bye" situation.

I see things differently now. Knowing that I really did not want to pursue my career as an Actuary, my thoughts wandered to the area of public health, specifically healthcare management. When I first read this excerpt by E.E. Cummings, I realized that I have been fighting the same battle throughout my undergraduate life at Penn State. I have finally come to understand that I must pursue my own path. I need a career that will help a large number of people and will continuously challenge and motivate me to improve. It all started when I recently enrolled in a class offered through Penn State called the Economics of Public Expenditures. As I listened to my professor, Daolu Cai talked about contemporary health issues in United States, I was intrigued. This one semester class provided me with a basic but detailed understanding of the issues faced in the healthcare industry. The field of healthcare is very aspirational. I perceive it as not just about helping individuals, but it’s about changing humanity and after careful deliberation, I’m confident that working in the global healthcare sector is, without a doubt, the right career for me. I want to pursue MSc in International Healthcare Management because I care about people and I want to help them live better lives. My goal is to positively influence people’s lives as a member of a healthcare management team as I climb up the career ladder. I want to research and implement intervention policies aimed at providing humanity with

The sound of thunder went through and my house in the middle of the night. Filled with anticipation, I was just waiting for the long rainy days to be over so I could begin to enjoy my summer. The forecast said tomorrow would have low percentages of precipitations. Plenty of events had been planned for that following week with my friend and I. We just wanted the rain to stop. It was the beginning of the summer of 2016 and I had just finished my senior year of high school heading to my Super Senior year as an Early College Student. The excitement of independence and self-exploration for the following years to come rushing through my body as I thought about the future events. I was still going to attend Surry Community College to earn enough

My freshman year at Community College of Philadelphia was interesting and a great learning experience. Being a criminal justice major we have requirements that is needed to be completed. I tried to take the easy way out and it backfired on me. I took SOC 101 online and the professor taught me a lesson of tough love. He failed me and told me “come back when you’re serious.” I was embarrassed and disappointment in myself. Since that day I took college seriously and every experience been good.

My freshman year at Eastern Connecticut State University was a year I will always cherish and remember fondly. I finally was able to be myself at my university which helped lead to my overall academic success in which I earned a place on the Dean’s List. I also got involved on campus by joining the College Democrats and Organization of Latin American Students. If it had not been for my Staples High School teacher constantly making students aware of current issues and legislations, I would have never discovered how passionate I am about politics and would not have joined the College Democrats. I also joined the Organization of Latin American Students because I love being involved in the latino culture and the club supports Latino students by

College is an opportunity for furthering ones education, getting involved, and making new friends and connections. Being a student at Regis College I feel as though I missed out on those opportunities. After spending two years at Regis College I have come to realize that it is not the right fit for me. It offered limited amounts of organizations and activities that interested me. Which lead to me going home on most weekends because I enjoyed being at home more than being at school. Whereas, for other students living on campus, it would be the opposite. After I had completed my first round of clinical nursing I lost come to realize that nursing is no longer the career path I want to pursue. However, clinical did open my eyes to the different

How are you? I hope you are doing well. Sorry I haven’t been keeping in touch with you. I’ve been so busy with college and school activities. Life at Towson University is going great! I am currently taking two education courses and two history courses and have been getting straight A’s on all of my assignments so far. I have one more year of classes and then I will be able to do my teaching internships at a middle school and a high school.

I am a 2008 graduate of Moneague College. On Wednesday April 26, 2017 I had a representative visited the Port Maria Campus to apply for an unofficial transcript. On the same day I spoke with Ms. Nicole Betton and outlined my situation to her. She advised me to have the bearer pay the transcript fee and that I should send her an email with my information. Ms. Betton responded to my email stating that she found a copy of the transcript I had requested in 2012 and that she would have it scan and emailed by Friday which I assumed would have been Friday April 28, 2017. (Please see screen shot below).

At the beginning of my First Year here at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, I decided to focus my studies in the field of computer science. This is a field where I had little to no knowledge of, but I really just liked computers. I decided that during the summer before my first year here, I would challenge myself and try to teach myself how to write and read programs. I learned the very basics during the summer and advanced in my classes at school, learning more and more while enjoying it, until my second semester here, when I realized computer science wasn’t for me. I had this realization in a strange dream sequence; I was sitting at a desk in some random, plain, dull building some 40 levels up typing away at my computer. I remember looking outside the window across the room; I was looking out over a huge city scape, with a dense fog in the sky. I felt trapped and helpless in that dream and at that moment I knew I wanted something more. I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life in some building typing away at my computer; I didn’t want to take a desk job for that matter. A few weeks after my dream, I began a conversation with my advisor and asked him what my options were. He replied explaining to me how I still had plenty of time to figure things out. I then asked him about a rumor I had heard regarding a new major that was in the process of being made: Environmental Studies. He told me the program was awaiting approval, but if everything goes as planned, there

I have been on this earth for 21 years since the day of my birth and under your care, I want to let you know that I appreciate all the things you have done for me. I’m grateful that you are not simply my parents but also an irreplaceable friend. While I was a child I know, it was default for you to raise me because I was fighting with kids and being a stubborn kid. But you guys were always there for encouragement and counsel me. I recognize that without your counseling and encouragement I wouldn’t be he adult I’m today. However, I would like you to listen to my ideas.

Most people dreams of going to an outstanding college for the prestige, but I dreamt of going to college to get away from my family. This might sound harsh, but I was not happy with my family situation. It was a hard decision, but I eventually decided that I needed to leave to become happy. Furthermore, I linked most of my problems with my living situations. It might have been tunnel vision, but living with my parents causes me incredible stress.
