My Experience At Washington State 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.

I would like to first thank you and your colleagues for taking the time to review my application and supplemental pieces. Although I wished for a different outcome, I recognise the fact that George Washington University is one of the most selective schools in the nation. With that in mind, I am still excited and humbled to be placed on the waitlist, because of additional opportunity to, first, express my continued interest in George Washington University, and to, secondly, update my application to give a clear view of my background and qualifications.

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.

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.

This past semester I have learned many things that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I believe that many of the things I learned worked in the favor of my future yet there a few things that I realized are not in my control. Hopefully your first year is just as successful but if not always remember two things; life is what you make it and you determine your identity.

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

In my time at Eastern Connecticut State University, I learned a lot about myself and what I have been doing as a student. In that time, I learned not only about myself, my academic strength’s and even learned to think critically and ask questions. Eastern has taught me to be myself and this campus puts more emphasis on individuality over group thinking. I learned a lot in applying my critical thinking skills to my history classes and learned a lot in how to look at History in everyday context. What my experience at Eastern as taught me that, I never gave up and I always persevere in many difficult challenges this campus has tossed at me. I always came out on top and learned to deal with challenges that I will face later in Graduate school and in life.

Hello, my friend. How are you? It has been a while since I get no call, no messages from you. Hope you’re doing well. Since last couple of weeks I think of writing a letter, but time here is fast and my schedules are always busy. Since school work is all I really do in my spare time. Can you believe it has already been ten months since I left India? I miss it over there, but my intension for moving to the United States was to finish my masters and be in the best university and get a nice job in our country. I am living in Houston, Texas, and taking my pre – requested classes at Houston Community College (HCC). As follow my carrier, I have many opportunities here in Houston as this is developing City. The experience here studying is nothing like I would get in our native country. It was so surprising on the very first day of my collage when I saw different age group students are in the same class. Education system in the United States is not the same as the education system in our country. I would like to describe how HCC focuses on our dreams with different curriculums, they follows strict organized calendar, they use different technologies, and about classroom environment.

It was a beautiful day in Madison, Wisconsin. I was sitting eating brats with my family at the UW-Madison student union. I could see college students on their laptops studying, socializing with their friends, and enjoying the view. As I sat and gazed upon the beautiful water, I finally began to understand this natural connection I have had with UW-Madison since 6th grade. In my opinion, UW-Madison has one of the more beautiful campuses in the country. As soon as I stepped out and saw the water, I could start to picture myself attending the university. Although Madison isn't a major metropolitan city, it feels very creative and advanced. I love how homey and interconnected the city of Madison feels.

The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire has been my top choice for schools ever since my freshmen year of highschool. My first time on the campus was my first time at Solo Ensemble state competition. I remember driving onto campus and thinking how beautiful everything was. I performed early in the morning and I remember running to my site. I thought to myself, “I hope I’m not this late to class when I’m in college!” I made it to my site in plenty of time, though.

I have always had an idea as to what I want to do with myself after high school. I have always want to go to college and become either wanted to be a vet or a kindergarten teacher. After taking the Holland Code Career test, provided by truity.com, I found that being a kindergarten teacher would be the better option. For choosing a college, I decided to pick one that I had recently toured during spring break. I had really enjoyed my tour of Georgia Southern University and it has just about everything I need in a college.

As a local born and raised in Madison, I have been connected to UW-Madison my entire life. Academically, I’ve done programming and chemistry summer camps at the UW, research with the Botany Department at Birge Hall, and an internship at the university-sponsored Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center. However, I feel most connected to UW-Madison through the school’s culture. Both of my parents got degrees at UW-Madison. And so, growing up, I heard my parents tell many stories from the campus, from my dad working in the university’s steam tunnels to the diverse classes the UW offers. And as a local, Badger sports have consumed my evenings since the day I was born. Along with watching the games on TV, I have gone to numerous Wisconsin hockey, basketball, volleyball, and football games. There I witnessed how the UW-Madison student body enthusiastically cheers, jumps around, and radiates school spirit at every game.. After spending many summer days eating Babcock ice cream at the Memorial Union, biking on Madison’s bike trails, and walking down State Street I can not imagine a place I would love more than Madison. So I when I started picking out colleges I would apply to, the University of Wisconsin-Madison immediately jumped into my mind.

The University of Washington, being a very progressive school, has strong opinions about equality as well as a variety of other political issues. Because of this, there have been many protests and demonstrations pushing the messages of unity and acceptance. I come from a school system that is one of the most diverse in the nation, so I am often confused when I hear hateful messages towards specific groups of people. To me, judging others on anything but their actions is absurd, so I join the protests that I believe in as often as I can. Because of the opportunities that were given to me and my family, and because of the financial stability this union helped secure, I always feel the need to make sure that others are treated with the same respect
