My Experience At The University Of Oklahoma

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.

Four or Five years ago if you were to tell me that I would be confidently applying to the University of Miami I would have laughed. Through high school I did not give much effort and like most of my peers, thought that furthering my education was my only option. Nearing the end of my senior year I started realizing that no noteworthy university would even consider accepting someone like me. As the days ticked away, I applied to a nearby college with an incredibly high acceptance rate and found myself opening an acceptance letter a few weeks later.

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.

People say college is the biggest change in their lives. I can only believe this to be true. I would love to find out by attending UW-Oshkosh. I know college will put me outside my comfort zone, but I look forward to the experience. I liked the layout of the campus in Oshkosh and the students I met.

It is that time of year when seniors get the realization that college is right around the corner. A time of panic and stress for many throughout America. Oklahoma has over 30 great colleges to choose from. The most commonly know though are the Big Three, University of Oklahoma, University of Central Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State University, all well known in Oklahoma and out of state. What are the requirements to get into these wonderful colleges though?

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.

These problems felt crippling, but after working a retail job with a friend, I was able to slowly overcome my personal problems and gained confidence in myself. I later transferred to Oklahoma State University and majored in microbiology. While I was attending OSU, I should have been more selfish. Putting others ahead of myself contributed to the poor reflection of my true potential found within my transcripts. I lost sight of my future goals while time was split between work, school, and taking care my girlfriend at the time and her daughter. Through the difficulties of those years, I emerged as an infinitely better person and after our separation I gained a sense of self-realization. Life is full of tough choices and I feel confident in making decisions quickly and effectively. I returned to Tulsa from Stillwater with a renewed sense of self and a clear view of the future I

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.

Ever since I was a little girl my parents have been saving and preparing themselves for the day they send me off to college. I have a long line of family members that graduated from Southern University. I knew for a fact that Southern was going to be the school of my choice. August 22, 2012 was the first day of my freshman year in high school. Once I entered high school the only thing I could think about my graduation and my matriculation at Southern. I couldn’t think of anything more stressful than transitioning from high school to college. When I was in middle school a lot of people told me about high school and how it was hard. The things they told me made me think going to high school would be a huge step, well it has nothing on college. No more depending on people, I have to get it on my own. Now that I am in college, I will be faced with many challenges that I will have to make the right choice about on my own.

When reflecting on my life’s journey thus far, I am able to recall numerous instances which have provided me with opportunities to make decisions that have played a pivotal role in fostering a strong set of personal values in which I strive to abide by today. While many of these values were born out of struggle and poor life choices, it is easy for me to say that there are few regrets. These decisions, some good and some bad, have allowed me to evolve into the man I am today. I am truly grateful to have experienced a life that has afforded me the opportunities to cultivate many strong beliefs and ideologies in my personal, academic, and social life. Through deeper reflection, I have come to realize that these experiences combined with my

Coming to Oklahoma State University, I was scared out of my mind. I was coming from the small town of Edmond, and a small school of Oklahoma Christian University. I didn’t know what to expect. I transferred here because where I was at Oklahoma Christian wasn’t working out like I thought it would two years ago. When I visited Oklahoma Christian for the first time, I was told my major was accredited and I should be able to graduate in four years. Within my first semester there, I went to a meeting, where others from my major were invited, and was told the school was working on accrediting the Family Science Department and by the time I graduate it should be done. I was frustrated beyond belief because they school

The University of Oregon is located in Eugene, Oregon. The University of Oregon is widely known for an impeccable environmental science department as well as for being a very progressive university. The beautiful mountainous location allows for very applicable science classes and contributes greatly to the learning of the students. Relatively close proximity to the city of Portland and the Pacific ocean are very intriguing to many, attracting many potential students and adding greatly to the population of the school. The University of Oregon is a great choice for students interested in the future of the planet’s environments.

I have been a student at Citrus College since the Summer of 2014. Every semester has been a growing experience for myself as a person whether it's been good or bad, but I never stopped persevering my goal of reaching a university because of the amazing support system I've found on campus. Growing up in single parent household my mom had always stressed the importance of education, yet I felt like school wasn't for me. It was a chore, that here at Citrus College has turned into a pleasure. I feel at home whether I'm out running with the Cross Country team or at the Real Estate club banging out our next campus activity. It makes it easy to want to give my academics my best because I don't want to let down all the people around me who have invested
