My Experience At Georgia Southern University

In my first reflection, I elaborated on my personal goals in relation to my experiences at Spelman College. I spoke about how those experiences have influenced my goals. Since then my goals have not changed, however I have become more determined to reach those goals. My overall determination stems from the fact that I am surrounded by a vast group of intelligent and talented women. My Spelman sisters push me to reach greater heights, and they encourage me to not just be mediocre. Therefore, the consistency of my goals, my influences to acquire my goals, and my aspiration to achieve my goals all contribute to my success at Spelman College thus far.

My experience began as early as college, when I used to volunteer with school going children in orphanages, and would advise them on the social problems they faced in school. That is when I decided that being a school counselor was the “perfect” job for me. Having started at an early age, I find that my expertise does in fact lie in helping students deal with social pressure, and helping them cope with the stress and frustration it brings. I have also been successfully able to help students improve their self-esteem by making them focus on past successes, so that they may be able to garner the strength for future aspirations. I don 't think age has any role to play when it comes to warming up to students. As long as they can find a mentor, a guide and trust in someone, they are likely to open up to them.

Good Evening Everyone! I am McCall Radavich with USA Today. Although I am currently located in New York, I was born and raised in Arizona. At a very young age, I found my passion in writing and photography. I have literally been writing my story for as long as I can remember. When it came time for college, I chose one of the best journalism schools in the United States, the University of Iowa. I started small, taking pictures for the school’s newspaper, The Daily Iowan. I soon worked my way up to being an Opinions Writer, then a Metro Reporter, and finally my senior year, an editor. After graduating with a double major in journalism and geography in 2005, I got a yearlong internship with National Geographic. You know how you look back on moments of your life and think, that’s when it all changed? Well, that was it for me. That was my moment, the year I found myself. Writing isn’t an easy thing. Actually, I would say writing is the hardest thing a person can do, putting your self on display for any and all to see. Writing is the truth, and the truth hurts. I had always thought that was what I did when I wrote, tell the truth, but that wasn’t the case. I hadn’t learned how to write without boundaries until that summer, when I had no other option. I hadn’t known how to write like everything was on the line, because I had never had anything to lose. Now, it’s the only way I write. It is the only way I can. When my year was up, I didn’t know what to do with

Baylor has always had a place in my heart, even before I visited the campus. I would wear Baylor shirts each day to class and even cheer for the Baylor football team. Many people were astonished that I would want to apply to a university that was eighteen hours away. I have always wanted to find a university that honored the Christian faith. Finding a university in North Carolina just like Baylor's similarities is uncommon. North Carolina is known for top universities including Duke University, Wake Forest University, and the University of North Carolina; but none of those seem to have what I wanted. I thought Baylor was not going to have this Christian atmosphere that I was looking for, I was flabbergasted. I heard from many different people, that Baylor is probably one of the best Christian universities that exist today.

I was born in Georgia, I have also lived in South Carolina, Texas, and Oklahoma, the last two as my father worked in the oil industry. Most of my family still lives in Georgia and I have always considered Georgia to be my home. I want to live and work in Georgia. I want to be able to have a positive impact on the state of Georgia. I believe I can do that through engineering. That is why if I receive a scholarship it would not only benefit me, but it would also benefit the state of Georgia as well.

I have decided on what I wanted to do with college since I was a child. It sounds ridiculous, but I am passionate about what I want to do. I was inspired at a very young age since I was in third grade, and I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. A teacher for what grade is what I did not know. As my family grew bigger with my nephews and nieces, I realized that I wanted to be surrounded by kids. I put what I wanted with my passion and got major. My intended major is to receive a double major in Primary and Elementary education, my goal is to receive a Masters in at least one of these majors.

Students, after high school begin their journey into adulthood. They either go into the workforce, join the army, travel abroad, or even take time away from school. While other students continue to a higher education in majors such as biology, mass communications, musical performance, and other concentrated areas to help prepare them for careers. However, students are left with the choice of deciding which institution they should choose, such as going to a college that is close to home, or going to a college that is in another state. Middle Georgia State University, one of the several universities in Georgia differ from an institution like Wesleyan College based on diversity, size, and most importantly tuition cost.

Georgia Tech is an amazingly expensive school, that charges $53,982.50! It is truly an astoundingly large sum of money. When I showed my family how much that it would cost to fully pay for college, they were shocked and astounded at how mush it would cost to put me through college. In order to pay for it, I will need to apply for scholarships and grants. The first scholarship that I am going to apply for is the GodBold Family Foundation Scholarship. This scholarship will pay for 100% of my financial needs. The cache in that I have to maintain a 1500 on my SAT score. Next, I will apply for the Zell Miller Scholarship. For this, I need to have a 3.7 GPA, and a SAT score of 1200 or an ACT score of 26. This will pay out $9,812. The next one that I will apply to is the MSE Scholarship Program. For this, I must be enrolled in a material science program or engineering program and have a 2.7 GPA. This program gives out $1,500 per semester. In order to reap the benefits (or even be taken into consideration) of the scholarships, I must apply for them, at the latest, February 15th. The scholarships will allow me to almost pay for all of my college funding, but for an extra bit of reassurance, I will also get some amount of money from my parents and the money that I have saved for college. With all of this information done, I could potentially apply and go to

Ever since I was a kid I have always thought about what college I was eventually going to go to. I made the decision in high school that I wanted to be a special education teacher, so I thought about some schools that had that teaching program. My number one school I wanted to attend that had the best teaching program was East Carolina University. Having ECU as my number one choice lead me to apply there. Weeks after I applied I got a letter telling me some sad news that I was not accepted. Since I applied to ECU and did not get in, I was now thinking about applying to other schools like Methodist University or maybe a community college.

Even at a young age, people begin to ask you what you want to be when you grow up. Children’s answers will range anywhere from ballerina, to firefighter, to President of the United States. However, as you get older, the question becomes more serious. As a high schooler, you feel as if you need to know exactly where you will end up thirty years into the future. Since senior year began, I have tried my best to understand my strengths and goals in life so that I can prepare for my future.

Througout my academic career, I have learned as much about myself as I have learned in school, whether it be from high school, to community college, and my journey that lead me to Arizona State University. I can honestly say as my parents did, that I wish I would’ve tried harder in high school. I scraped by taking the easiest classes possible and choosing to take the easy way out. Looking at my transcript makes me cringe, because I know that I am capable of so much more. I wish that I would’ve taken the honor classes and tried so that I would’ve been able to apply to a college other than a community college. My time at Mohave Community College was a significant improvement from my experience in high school. Not only did I graduate with near honors (3.49), I had made the Dean’s list and Honors List for three out of my four semesters, the first time this had happened since middle school. I had never felt more motivated and focused in my life. I was taking 16 credits and prospering and had a balance of work, school, and a social life. I had never felt more proud of my self in my life. As I sit here and write this paper, I question my time here at ASU as I try to plan the nex chapter of my life. I wonder where I am supposed to go and what I am supposed to do.School for the first time had become a priority, however, it began to consume my life. I would spend hours and hours on end doing homework and studying, and although there seems to be nothing wrong with this, I wouldn’t go

I was born Bosnia-Herzegovina and I can fluently speak the language. Coming from this helps me understand tradition that much more. With that being said and how Fish Camp is, being apart of the program and tradition would be great. One of the best decision I had made when I came to Texas A&M was joining a Freshman Leadership Organization, more specifically FORME, Freshman Organizing and Running Mixed Events. Through my entire camp, they kept telling and emphasizing the importance of getting involved and it finally made sense after a month of being in FORME. The strong friendships and the amount of fun I have had throughout my first semester and start of second semester is almost unbelievable. I feel like it is important for me to lead the next

As I reach the end of my fall semester here at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, I have analyzed the habits of mind that has guided me through my everyday life at school. The habit of mind that I have developed over the course of my fall semester was openness. I was able consider new ways of being and thinking about the world around me. I made many friends this semester, doing so I was able to become more open toward people and situations I can across during my fall semester. I will be evaluating how I became more open to people, how I was able to create close relationships with my new friends, and began to enjoy being an Islander.

At the beginning of the semester when classes stated, I went to talk with my advisor about my academic goals and some certain points that I had doubt on. I told the advisor about my goals I had, I let her know my career for which I'm studying, I told her that my major was nursing. I wasn't sure which classes’ do I had to take to get my bachelor's degree, so I asked her for her help to help me to choose the right classes. Also, I was not sure which school could I transfer, after completing my two years in Georgia Perimeter College. So, I ask her: what would be the best four year college which I could transfer?, She told me: "find three colleges that most interest you and the ones that have what you're looking for. When you have them come
