My Experience : My Personal Experience

One of my personal experiences that I had was when my family decided to move from New Jersey to Florida. I never planned on moving with them but my mother basically forced me into moving with them. It wasn’t really all that moving stuff because the new house was actually pretty nice, it was just I had all my friends there and I was doing well in school. Nothing I said convinced my mother so after a week of packing we was off to Florida. The first week being there was a horrible week. Nothing was going right for me, I missed the school bus for a whole week, dropped my milk on my new shoes, and tripped over nothing in lunch. It was just trying to move back but parents always have this life lesson speech about trying to make new friends and try to get used to being here until we move again. It’s been about a month since we moved to Florida and I met about zero friends but I got used to living here since I’ve found something that interested me as an after school hobby and that was fishing. There’s barley any lakes or ponds in New Jersey so fishing wasn’t really something you do as a time waster. I usually fished right after I got home but on that day it was rainy and it wasn’t really a good time to fish so I just decided to practice my free shots until it started raining hard. I think I was outside for about 20minutes and suddenly a couple kids from my new school asked if they can shoot

Hands shaking, heart fluttering, staring into the mirror, I prepared myself for the first day of college classes. My eyes searched my reflection, trying to make sense of the jumbled thoughts in my brain. This transition into college life caused thoughts like, “Who am I?”, “Why am I here?”, and “What is my goal in life?” to speed through my head, making me dizzy and anxious. These are questions that every living person will experience, and every single person will have to discover the answers for themselves. Many use aids, such as assessments, to help understand the complexity of their minds. Although who I am will continue to shift and evolve, I’ve finally started to understand who I am as a person.

Being a first-time freshman is exciting and intimidating at the same time, for me it is higher than the average because I do not usually adventure beyond the set path. This is why I appreciate my friends, who are thrill seekers and tag me along with them. At the California State University of Bakersfield, I have found the freedom to break away from the set path by following the trail on an Outdoor Adventure and experiencing the Piedra Blanca Formation Hike. My friend Ana* had invited me to accompany her on this hike because of the accessibility of the trip. The trip was priced ten dollars which is a bargain compared to the amazing excursion my friends and I were on. *(I am changing my friend’s name for their privacy) This trip included the transportation from the University to the Piedra Blanca Formation, and lunch. The day of the trip I was feeling sick and I did consider canceling but I decided I was not feeling too sick and the fresh air would help. I was waiting for my friend Ana and as she picked me up she invited me to grab a special Starbucks drink called the medicine ball, it is a mix of different herbal teas, which surprisingly did help me feel better. We arrive at the university parking lot and there are around ten other people ready to head out and we are all adrenalized and nervous to go on the trip. My friend Ana and I were preparing our snacks to head out and as we are boarding the van we meet the two other passengers, who were the trip leaders. Both were

As a child growing up, there are experiences that change your views on life along with what you want to accomplish in life. Fortunately, growing up for me was never what some would say a struggle. I grew up in a middle class family of five in the small town of Mercedes, TX.

My palms are getting sweaty; I can feel my heart beating faster. I looked at the clock everything seemed to being going slower then usually. I wanted to get this over with, I wanted to finish this chemistry exam and get it done with. This was my exam the final material that was being marked and it was weight thirty percent of my mark. This test can make a huge impact on my overall mark. I studied very hard throughout the week but I still felt like I wasn't prepared. This test seemed almost impossible; it was almost like that one moment when I was young. Two wheels seemed impossible to me back then.

I consider my personal level of competence I had when I started this course was one of awareness and inexperience. In other words, I was aware of the cultural inequities that surround me and the field in which I work. As this course moved forward from week to week, I paralleled the reading material with my work experiences. It should be noted that I have little diversity in my caseload as far as race. However, I do have diversity in my caseload to do with life circumstances.

I always wonder how it feels to be heard and what the reactions of others will be. I never had that feeling but I constantly question myself if it’s worth the try. My fear for society has always been a thing, I don’t know why. It may not be a big deal to others and easy for others to speak up but to me it’s not. It’s not easy to be speak nor share, people who know me may wonder why but not even I would understand why. Growing up I have always been quiet but little does everyone know how I really wish I could be heard.

Growing up I learned that I needed to mature at a younger age compared to my peers. I understood that a low-income, minority I needed to work hard to achieve my goals. One experience that shaped my life happened this past year. It was the day My family and I were being evicted from our home a couple of days before my birthday and right before the holiday season. This made me stronger, but it also changed something inside me. I learned that life isn't a game and that I should be grateful for what I have, because one day I could lose it all.

I have had the privilege to go to a school with a lot very smart educators, and people. I think as I went through school and learned about the world and how things work I got lost in my studies, and just kind of forgot about all of the other types of people out there. There are very few ways to say this without coming off as a jerk, but through my internship, I've learned that there a lot of "interesting" people out there, and for some reason, they seem to all collect at the vet office.

Friday, September 13, 2013 was my worst involvement ever why? It was the day I my mother's vanished about 4 decrepitude ago on she had an asthma attack furthermore, it’s not a light of day that I don’t absence my mother. It was tenacious for us when I first acknowledge she had decrease yet I was still imperfection and still in the schoolhouse, but I knew my affection was about to constitute due to losing my mother's will modify the way I examine the nature.

My first fall quarter at UC Riverside has taught me the most valuable information, opened my perspective on various topics, and has brought me the most difficult encounters.

The worst experience was when I lost my mother died 4 years ago on Friday September 13, 2013 from and asthma attack furthermore it not a day goes by that I don’t miss her. It was hard for me when I first find out she had passed away in yet I was still young and still in Middle school, but I knew my life was about to change by cause of losing my mother will change the way I see the world. I would describe my mother's as a beautiful, well-educated woman. My mother’s carried me for nine months, gave birth to me, she was the first person I have seen when I opened my eyes, fed me when I was hungry, didn’t get no sleep for months when I woke up in the middle of the night crying, change my diaper, watched me smile every time I seen her face, she saw me when I first started to crawl, when I took my first step, said my first word. She was always there when I needed her, especially when I was sick. When I was cheerless she was always there to make me laugh. When I needed advice she was the only one I could talk to rather than my father. She was a strong, loving, and caring mother who I always knew that was on my side, she would do anything for me and my brother and give us the perfect nurture that made us the women and men that we are today.

Throughout the 18 years that I have lived in this world, there have been many valuable lessons that have come along the way with experience. Starting from getting up and ready for school on time to making sure my puppy eats and uses the bathroom. Everything I have learned has come from different situations I have been involved in. However, the most collectible event came when I was just 15 years old. Majority of my friends had been studying for their permit test, while I was at home continuing my “video game career.” Knowing myself really well, I knew that I would put off studying for a silly permit test until the last possible minute as I did everything at the age.

Not many people get the opportunity to travel, let alone travel outside of the country. I was given the chance to travel to Italy for school and I made sure to take advantage of it. I can confidently say that my experience abroad changed me as a person. My academic, personal, and professional outlooks are more clearer than they’ve ever been. I’m first going to give a brief summary of my trip and my experiences, and then I’ll go over what I was able to take out of my trip personally and academically.
