My Life Experience At Georgia Southern 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.

Why would I be successful if admitted into the nursing program? Before answering this question, success must first be personally defined. Students interpret success in different ways. Some students feel successful by simply passing classes while other individuals feel like they’ve failed themselves if they receive anything less than an A. For me, success includes taking initiative for future plans, demonstrating maximum effort, and never giving up. In the nursing program, I will apply these steps to success towards my schoolwork and clinical experiences to make for an excellent candidate.

During my time at Union County College I have been faced with a lot of difficulties. I’ve struggled along the way but one thing I do believe is that I have the power to do better. My GPA has been affected by my personal mistakes. In my past semesters I have let my job take over my life rather than let school be most important. I have also let my personal family problems affect my work ethic. But through my fall 2014, it was most difficult because of March 2014 I lost my father through an unexpected heart attack. Throughout my fall semester I did struggle and cope with my father not being here anymore. I believed that I wasn’t focused enough because I used fall semester as a time to occupy myself rather that time out to deal with my father’s

I am applying to the certified nursing program. Since I was little, I have always want to be in the medical field. I grew up in a big family, where my parents were illiterate but worked really hard, and struggled a lot to send me to school, as a first generation, to get educated. The idea of helping each other has always a joy to my heart and of course to those who received the help. Thus, as I get older and older, started to explore the field the more I fall in love with it. My parents could not afford to continue to send me to college. I felt the same pain that they had. I did not stop going I continued and graduated from highschool. Over the years, we moved to Minnesota for a better place. When we got here, I decided to start working as

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.

Finding a interesting topic to write about, is challenge on Louisiana College’s campus, but with a little patience and observation, unique stories are scattered amongst the staff and student body. It didn’t take me long to wander into the student center to find a story or interview that would spark my interest. Walking down the hall I approached one of the most important offices on campus. No, it’s not the president’s office, but the Nurse’s office which I’ve seen many times. I had a feeling that this place would be full of stories and experiences that would give me the interview that I needed to boost my grade. I wanted to do an interview about something that I care about and is important to shed light on. I thought about how I often forget one of the most important things in my life, which is health and the people who work to keep us healthy.

During the Steps 2 College program provided by the University of North Georgia, Gainesville Campus, my Education 2120 class and I were to provide 20 hours of observational field experience in the classroom. From the many course options provided for the program, I choose to spend my time in the Environmental Science course which was located in the Nesbitt building in room 1213. The classroom setting was a darker than normal classroom, but was formatted auditorium style, with all seats facing the front of the class towards the smart board. This was a new experience for the students. Only the first row was used in class due to having a class size of only 7 students. The ratio of boys to girls was about even with 4 boys and 3 girls in the class. All the students were Hispanic, with the only diversity being the teacher and the teachers assistants present. They were all bilingual, knowing their native language of Spanish as well as English except one student who only knew English. All the students in our class came from Banks County High School. Banks County High School, located in Homer, Georgia, is the only high school within its county, with an enrollment rate of greater than or equal to 800 students annually (usnews,2015). Banks County High School has a national ranking of Bronze. Here is the breakdown of the demographics provided by (usnews,2015) and the National Center for Education Statistics of the school:

Everyone in my family has attended college and has done something with their lives and I plan on continuing the cycle. In the fall of 2017 I will be attending Sam Houston State University. My major will be kinesiology because sports has always been a part of my life and I couldn’t imagine myself going through life without doing something related to sports.

My experience at North Carolina A&T has been great in many ways. I appreciate the activities offered on campus, the football games, and also the parties! There are only a few things I dislike about the school which is the food and the housing. I wish there were different alternatives to choose from in the dome, like Chinese food, Zaxby's, or KFC. I absolutely hate having a roommate, since I have never had to share a room before. If the size of my room was bigger, I wouldn’t mind. My first choice was to attend Clark Atlanta University, but I received my scholarships to late. I have been trying to decide whether or not I should transfer to Georgia, which I have not made up my mind yet. All in all, I believe NCAT may be the right school for me.

I was born Bosnia-Herzegovina and I can fluently speak the language. Coming from this helps me understand tradition that much more. With that being said and how Fish Camp is, being apart of the program and tradition would be great. One of the best decision I had made when I came to Texas A&M was joining a Freshman Leadership Organization, more specifically FORME, Freshman Organizing and Running Mixed Events. Through my entire camp, they kept telling and emphasizing the importance of getting involved and it finally made sense after a month of being in FORME. The strong friendships and the amount of fun I have had throughout my first semester and start of second semester is almost unbelievable. I feel like it is important for me to lead the next

I am currently enrolled in the Middle Level Grades 4-8 online teaching program and I feel comfortable with the online class format. Even though I am approaching my final semester with Stephen F. Austin State University, I do still feel nervous that I might miss an assignment or a due date. I find being disciplined and organized helps in my success with my online classes and the text and email reminders through D2L are extremely helpful in keeping up with due dates for assignments and quizzes. I also like receiving my grades quickly and that I am able to easily contact my professors and receive prompt responses. Utilizing the online program through SFA has made it more convenient for me to complete my bachelor’s degree while working and taking

Attending Nova Southeastern University would be a dream come true. When I found out about NSU in tenth grade on an online college search, I just about fell in love with it. By tenth grade, I had already known that I wanted to major in Speech Pathology. When I recently found out that NSU actually has Speech Pathology as a major, it made me want to be a shark even more! A big pull factor for me is how outstanding your program really is. I know that if I continue my education at NSU, I am guaranteed a successful career. Being a city kid who goes to a private school is tough. People expect less of me because of who I am and where I live. All of my friends come from wealthy families and have really nice houses. Going to their houses and seeing

While attending Kennesaw State University, I was able to participate in the new program that allows for student teachers to spend an entire school year in one classroom. I spent my year long student teaching experience in a kindergarten classroom within the Cobb County District. This experience allowed for me to see all the aspects of being a kindergarten teacher, from working collaboratively with the grade level teachers, participating in creating activities for students with EIP's, attending 504 meetings, parent-teacher conferences, professional development meetings, after school activities, and so much more. Throughout my time spent at KSU, I was able to spend time with a variety of grade levels at multiple schools, therefore, I have gained

In August of 2015, I started the next chapter of my life at Rogers State University in Claremore, Oklahoma. I heard numerous personal testimonies of what college is like and how I will have loads of homework. From these stories and personal testimonies, I decided that college was going to be extremely scary and brutally difficult. As my senior year in high school began, I had no plans of where I was going to go to college and how I was going to pay for it either. As my senior year went along, everything concerning my future plans at college played out the right way. I was accepted into the Honors Program at Rogers State University and the program paid for my education. Reflecting back on the thoughts I had about the college experience

Georgia Tech is the name I’ve heard throughout my family whenever the topic of universities come up. Many relatives have gone there, and several currently attend. In a way, it’s a big part of my extended family. In other words, I am interested in attending Georgia Tech for the moral and family support that I can’t get anywhere else. From relatives, I have heard that Georgia Tech offers a unique university experience. From extracurricular clubs to education, it helped find the right balance and also helped students fit in among their peers. Campus life is a very important factor to me, and will most likely be a deciding factor between universities. Despite the university’s location, rankings, and athletics already being strong reasons for attending
