My Experience at Flagler College

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.

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.

May came around at long last. So did the end of my second semester of college at Florida Atlantic University. Not only did I survive my freshman year, I thrived, passing eight of my nine joint courses with A’s and getting A-minus on the other one. Just like “Neon” Leon shocked the departed Muhammad Ali in 1978, I defied my own expectations and those of a few among my closest friends and family. Did I soon spend the next few months indulging in summer merriment at the beach, getting my tan on while thirteen-year-old boys fawned over pictures of Selena Gomez? Nope. I took summer classes to keep my mind sharp and knock out a few of the requirements towards a degree which I’d earn three years later. One such class = a six-week crash course in public speaking. Everything went well until I got an assignment to create, practice, and deliver a three-to-five-minute speech involving someone who stood out. The possibilities overwhelmed me until I recalled someone with an outstanding life, hit him up on my cell, and talked to him in person one hot Saturday afternoon.

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.

I anticipate my experience as a student at UNC Wilmington to be a meaningful experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. I expect my experience to be meaningful in the classroom because I will be given the knowledge and experience to prepare me for the workforce and to function in the real world. I believe that the business marketing program that UNC Wilmington offers will give me a great education. I currently live in the Pennsylvania, however I have had the opportunity to visit North Carolina many times. I love the weather, and most of all, the people. The distance from home is perfect for me because I would not want to go any further south. The size of the school also is very important to me. 13,000 students isn't an overwhelming

Florida state college is a higher-education institution that is driven by clearly stipulated values. It is not allied with any other private or public university or college in Florida or elsewhere. However, for an appropriate design as an employer organization, there are a number of aspects that have to be given priority over others. I would rank them in this order; mission success, strategy or structure, accountability or adaptability, and lastly, ladders or rings.

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

Over the course of my life, I have incurred numerous challenging situations. Although most challenges are short term in in the grand scheme of things, my longest and ongoing challenge would definitely be attending Cedar Hill Collegiate High School.

I am proud to speak up and give my input during discussions. This relates to the person I am today. Even though this task was very difficult, I knew this was a necessity. I really wanted to become a leader and powerful communicator. I have grown tremendously, I can do things on my own. I feel confident in what I have to say because it is important. I was able to give a 45 minute presentation of my core competencies. I was also given the opportunity to present in front of the vice principal and visitors from other California schools to see if they want to implement portfolios. This pushes me to break out of the shell and be myself. I love all my flaws as an

During my time in the Aspire Scholars Living-Learning Community program, I will provide an insight of my experience inside or outside of the Hendrix campus. I will gather different perspectives from my friends and neighbors in the same living space in order to get a better understanding of what it is like to live at Hendrix College. Also, I promise to bring a positive attitude towards the other Aspire scholars who are living in the same community as me. Whether if it is an academic or personal problem, I can guarantee that I will able to help one of my fellow scholars. At the end of this experience, I will plan on supporting the new class of Aspire scholars by allowing to hear my story of the responsibility it takes to become an active member

Two prominent qualities I have that would benefit the UGA community is my hard work, determination and creativity to follow my dreams, and the commitment to help others. I am a Georgia girl, born and raised, so it's not surprising that since I can remember, I've wanted to go to the University of Georgia to continue my education after high school. I've worked hard getting exceptional grades and maintaining a 3.9 GPA in order to accomplish this goal while taking a rigorous curriculum including 12 AP classes and dedicating time to write a novel. I have always loved reading, and I decided to write my own crime drama novel that I hope to have published when it is complete. I have also written many short stories on various writing prompts because
