My Journey From Southeast High School At The University Of Central Florida

What followed were the applications, the score reports, and the dreaded essays. I was terrified to write a personal narrative to determine my future. All of the essay seminars, online forum speculation, and college essay “help” websites just contributed to the stress and left me more bewildered than

Throughout my high school career I have had many ups and many downs.  High School by far has been the biggest challenge I’ve ever had to overcome.  Freshman year and sophomore year were my easiest years academic wise but my junior and senior years have been very challenging.  But while facing these challenges I have learned many things that may be helpful for those future seniors who are trying to get through high school.

Coming to Citrus Hill High school was a big transition for me within itself. I originally transferred from rancho verde to get away from the trouble and focus more on the things that were important to me, like my school work and baseball. I had heard from the people around that there was a good program there play baseball there. When I came I thought my year would be good new start, new school, new surroundings nothing could go wrong.. Shouldn’t have said that. When i got there my anger issues have gotten in the way and has held me back from achieving many of the goals i set for myself before the school year began. For example, starting off good in all my classes keeping my grades up and making the baseball team. I’ve had previous conversations

In conclusion, my path after high school has already been decided. I hope the path I have chosen, will bring a new light to Radford University. My road to college won’t be easy, but with guidance and understanding I know I will be just fine. Being able to balance my new life with my old one will be difficult, but with patience everything will be okay. My transition from high school to college will be a blast and I hope your guys we want to be about of this encouraging

I am Brenda Gomez, a seventeen year old senior at Valley View High School. High school has contributed in my development as an individual. Throughout high school, I have been able to grow from many experiences, met many people and work towards on my goal to be the first high school graduate in my family. I started my first year at Valley View my senior year. The previous school I attended was Segerstrom High School, which is located in Santa Ana. It was an extremely difficult transition because I was raised there, but over time I adapted to the new environment. It will be a year since my move from Santa Ana to Moreno Valley in May. Next year, I plan to go to college. I decided to receive my general education at Moreno Valley College then, transfer

After completing my bachelor’s degree at Florida State University in the fall of 1997, I began my career at a small hospital in Largo, Florida. I started on a thirty eight bed cardiac/telemetry unit. I had the fortunate opportunity to orient with a seasoned nurse who loved her career in nursing. She was an enthusiastic preceptor that not only educated me on the tasks of nursing but inspired and introduced me to critical care and critical thinking. I spent the next three years at this hospital working in the Coronary Care Unit until deciding to become a travel nurse and see the country. I began travel nursing with my best friend and we worked in Florida, Washington D.C., New York and Denver. At all of these locations we worked in the intensive care unit. Each experience provided a different population and vast new experiences.

My first half of a year in high school has been a great experience. I have had fun this year and learned a lot. In this essay, I will be talking about me and answering three essential questions. These questions are “Who am I and what does success look like to me?”, “How am I connected to Greensburg Salem High School?”, and “How are my academic efforts and achievements helping me to be successful in the global community?”.

This page is dedicated to the different projects that have better helped me become prepared for college and life after high school. Each entry within this page has a common theme: college. This is a collection of my college acceptance letters, scholarship awards, and my journey of becoming more prepared for college. I trace back my experience with college level tests, and what went into choosing the college that I most desired. This page is also dedicated to showing the steps that I have taken to prove that I am college bound.

How are you? I hope this letter finds you well. My homesickness is creeping towards me like an ominous cloud foreboding a thunderstorm. It’s frightening me, but I am sure the storm will pass quickly. The first sense of these feelings were ignited when I was walking to my dorm and it started pouring rain. In Southern California, where I was born and raised, rain is scarce. Deerfield has been great, but I yearn for the salty smell in the air from the ocean and the feeling of the sun on my skin. Thousands of question race through my mind as I recall my time back home. Was the move to Deerfield a good decision? Am I going to make it out alive during the winter? Should I have came this far? As I am writing this letter, the answer to all those questions is a gargantuan yes. I know the commitment I made to attend Deerfield Academy is miles away from my comfort zone, literally, but growth and

Good evening, my name is Audrina Campa. I am a senior at Sunnyside High School who will be the first member of her family who will be attending a university after graduating from high school. I come from a family of 6, my parents and 4 daughters (including myself), and within my family, college is a mandatory stepping stone. Coming from a young family, meaning I was raised by teen parents, they expect the best for me in every which way possible including my education.

On September 24, 2014, I attended the first multicultural event of my graduate career at Florida State University. The Japanese Tea Ceremony was held in the Center for Global Engagement Auditorium from 5-7pm on a Wednesday. Upon entering the auditorium, I was handed a program detailing the ceremony format (Usu-cha Tana-temae). The program had three different types of languages displayed: English, Hiragana/ Katakana and Kanji. Having no prior knowledge of what a tea ceremony entails, I was excited to be a part of the experience.

To start off with, as a transfer student coming from a local state college to the University of Central Florida was a huge change. It was a different change because it was the first time I was going to be away from home. I have spent the last twenty-one years under my parent’s wings and it was time to grow and flourish, but that is much easier said than done, it would also be much easier if I was not such a shy person. But my decision

Going through middle school my comprehension has not always been so great. Moving out of the small town of Gainesville, Florida I figured it was time for a fresh start. Attending West Orange High School in Winter Garden, Florida I knew passing the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) was a requirement for graduation. My first two years of high schools I’ve had bad experiences with my teacher Mrs. Marquez not because they didn’t care but the fact that they stereotype all reading classes of having horrible behavior. Not even taking the time to explain to us how to comprehend. I had only two years to pass FCAT because after sophomore year they didn’t give the test junior nor senior year, and not passing would get you automatically put

Now that I am reaching the end of my undergraduate career I feel like it’s fit to reflect on how far i’ve come and some high and low points during this time of my life. Some people may say that these four years of college are the most wonderful times of their life, and for the most part that is correct. But there is this whole other part of college life that is super stressful and even scary. During this paper I will address my personal development and how certain experiences played a role in those developments. Even though I feel like i’ve grown a lot and have developed and learned new things, I have run into some issues. Those issues being family/culture, social and emotional growth, intellectual growth, values and beliefs, citizen and community member.

Hearing so many good things and bad things about college I didn’t know what to expect and look forward to. That change my junior year knowing different college come every year I didn’t really pay it any mind what college I wanted to go to until ODU, Virginia State University and Virginia Teach came. It was Virginia State first year of visiting out school and I knew I wanted to go there I start getting e excited for college that were talking about their experience at college and what to look for when we graduated if we decided to go to college. Eager to start a new chapter college sound like it could be a little nerve wrecking but I thought I could handle it.
