My Experience At A Community College

In the summer, I attended a guidance class at Chaffey College. I thought that community college was for people who drop out of high school and not take life seriously, but I got that idea from teachers who went straight to universities after high school. When I attended Chaffey, I was surprised to be in a diverse culture. The people that I have met were so different and the professors were very helpful than I expected. Suffering through the midst of exclusion taught me that there are so many options I can choose from in the future. Being a survivor from the destructive side effects of mind control was shocking enough. Fortunately, I recovered from the operation that poisoned every inch of my mind. I was glad that I attended Chaffey because

I am keenly interested in the Social Responsibility and Policy/Government Affairs internships because I hope to pursue a career in which I have the opportunity to help others through community support and/or policy. As a junior at Dartmouth College, my liberal arts education with concentrations on government and anthropology has taught me the importance of community-based organizations in a healthy democracy. Moreover, I know that international businesses have a mutually beneficial role in supporting local organizations due to the resulting intrinsic satisfaction

I am a current junior in the John Glenn College of Public Affairs. My career advisor, Alexander Toomey, has directed me to this internship. I have finished my previous semester in Washington D.C. as a John Glenn WAIP fellow. This experience has deepened my passion for policy advocacy. Because my degree focus is in education policy, I am especially eager to work with the firm knowing it has assisted clients in K-12 and higher education policy. Though I have specific interests in education policy, I am eager to learn and assist with any policy advocacy.

There are challenges that everyone faces in their lives. Some people deal with difficulties as minor as baking problems, some struggle with the pressure of sports or deal with tremendous amounts of social anxiety. For me, many of the problems I face are related to my academics. This past year has produced some of the most strenuous situations. One of which has been the convoluted choice of which classes to take. School is everything to me, because I look forward to a bright future. So, I take classes that I believe will be most beneficial to what I want to do in life.

Since I graduated from California State University, Los Angeles in May 2017, for the 2017-2018 academic year, I would like to gain more life and work experience while continuing to be involved in my community. I will volunteer at a hospital, and tutor elementary school students and adults in literacy at my local library. In the meantime, I am looking for an internship at a pharmaceutical or biotechnology company as a quality control or quality assurance analyst. I am also traveling to Europe in spring 2018. Educating others is something I am always trying to do wherever I am.

My principal, Mr. Darnell Payne, had such a presence in our school, it was almost impossible not to be in awe whenever he came into the room. The way he was the superb leader of our school, but also took the time to be concerned with every student. As a nine-year-old student, all I knew was I wanted to be like Mr. Payne. Someone who was a leader that set a great example for both my colleagues and students. I really felt like it was something I must do. A graduate degree in Educational Leadership is my next step in getting closer to completing my journey. In 2006, when I enrolled at Troy University, I intended to accomplish all the goals I had set for myself. As I was choosing my major, I would sit and think about what it was I should do with my life…what was I good at and what was the purpose of my life. I saw life as having no meaning unless you are constantly giving back with the talents and skills that have been bestowed upon you. Therefore, with this realization I knew that my life’s purpose was “giving back”. While at Troy, I worked to always leave a positive impact on any person I

If you were to ask anyone today, what kind of student I am, many of them would answer "hard working" or "perfectionist", however, I was never like this. In fact, I did not start becoming an overachiever until a few months ago. Flashback to high school, I was a mediocre, lazy student who was at the bottom percentile of my class. I did not like to study and I especially did not like doing my homework. So, what changed? I figured, that people only get one chance to live, so why not spend it on learning and making a career out of something you love? So after graduation, I decided to go to a community college because it would be the perfect choice for me. I soon began to start making goals for myself, 2 year and 5 year goals. I stopped slacking

I am applying for a summer internship with the Rockefeller Foundation as part of the U.S. Youth Employment team. My interest in working for the Rockefeller Foundation stems from my passion for philanthropy and service. Since high school, I have always made an effort to do things that would help make my community better. As an intern on the U.S. Youth Employment team, I will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge I acquired inside the classroom to help implement positive economic and social change.

I began searching for an internship spring semester of my sophomore year. I was looking at various places for example, non-profit organizations, county of DuPage, and companies that dealt with marketing and advertising. My cousin Ashley told me that the non-profit organization (Teen Parent Connection) she worked for had a public relations intern opening. I immediately applied and began the interviewing process. Thus, I secured the position of Teen Parent Connections development Intern. Through my reflection paper I will discuss my expectations for the internship. I will then go into detail about the objectives I completed during my internship and finally my likes and dislikes.

This is an academic internship in which I work on real dataset and dive into transactional data to get meaningful insights. The experience and knowledge that I gain from this internship is priceless as I not only apply what I learn in my coursework but also practice technical skills and learn domain knowledge about credit union and financial institution. On the other hands, I represent CSUF’s students who are eager for knowledge and willing to learn new things. In my internship place, CSUF gets credit for providing humble, hardworking and enthusiastic

Author Robert Fritz once said, “Too many young people are being taught to give up their dreams before they have any experience attempting to pursue them.” I chose the field of Student Affairs because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of students, especially in a transformative time such as college. Through my undergraduate experience, I have seen former students become Resident Assistants, Orientation Leaders, Campus Justices, Emerging Leaders, Peer Leaders and more, where their influence will ripple to engage other future student leaders. Knowing that I am able to assist students in pursuing their dreams gives me confidence that they will give back to another avenue.

“When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain point on the floor, it’s to enjoy each step along the way.” (Wayne Dwyer) There is no description or analogy more accurate to describe my experience both watching and performing dance this past semester at Connecticut College. As a freshman, it was difficult to move forward with dance in a new environment since I have had the same dance experience for 15 years. I found myself equating movements and steps to styles more known to me; I was searching for comfort among the abundance of unfamiliarity. The challenge was to embrace modern dancing for everything it entailed. Through watching both professional dancers and other students, as well as improving my personal technique, I certainly feel that I have found a new appreciation for dance.

During the summer semester of 2015, I was given the extraordinary opportunity of completing an internship at Aircon Engineering in Cumberland, Maryland. Deciding which internships I wanted to apply for was difficult. There was a few criteria that I was looking for. First of all, I wanted an internship that would apply to my major in business administration. Secondly, I wanted to work for a small company or a company that operates like a small company. I thought working for a large company would be too stressful given that this was my first experience in a “real” job. Lastly, I wanted a work environment that was flexible and desirable. To depict those qualities about a company I had to research their websites. I explored each

College is all of what you make it. You meet many new people, and see many faces. You will start new friendships, and possibly end some that you’ve had for a while; just know that it’s okay when it happens. Friends come and go, especially in this big transition. That’s what the college experience is, one big transition. Whether you are moving to a new city/state or even just moving down the street, college is a whole new chapter. It does pay off to be social in college, but you still need to have that balance of social and academics.

When I first started my journey at Oklahoma State University I had no idea of the adventures and learning experiences that I would embark on. Little did I know it was the beginning on a life changing experience. From the very beginning I always had a passion for working for families, children, and the community. I’ve been selfless for as long as I can remember, and I have always believed that if I continued to be that person I would never give up on my goals or the desires that have to make a change on my campus as well as my community. When I chose to major in Human Development and Family Sciences I knew that I would have to complete an internship my Junior or Senior year. I had no idea how I was going to find one or how I was going to prepare for it; but my professors, fellow peers, and especially my academic advisor supported me and help guide me to finding my internship. As I approached my Senior checklist and final enrollment appointment I was explain to my academic advisor that I was worried about finding an internship in order to complete my degree requirements. She quickly calmed me and explained to me that she may have an answer for me. She passed along a quick background and some contact information and the following week I met my site supervisor.
