Being a student is a difficult task. Many find college as a trying time in their life. I confirm this allegation as a student in the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Since beginning college in 2013, I have developed not only academically, but as a person in general. After my acceptance into the sonography program, I believe I progressed much more rapidly in both aspects of my life. The demand of the program is tremendous; success is attainable with the right
Before leaving home for Rutgers, I was a fry cook at a burger restaurant. The usual pace was slightly overwhelming and all my co-workers had 2+ years of experience with the company. One night, about two months after I started working there, it was so incredibly busy that the line of customers measured out the door. As I frantically tossed food into hot grease, I fumbled with a box of jalapeño poppers and dropped all of them on the floor. The cashiers, general manager and head cook all rolled
sports, extracurriculars, and spending time with family and friends, it is no wonder an average student’s anxiety is high- even higher than adults. Standardized testing, huge onslaughts of homework, and the pressure of getting into prestigious universities are all factors that induce stress, anxiety, and even depression. Standardized testing has been a part of a school’s culture for several years. Roughly 112 standardized
Personal Statement From an early age, I have accompanied my mother as she lent a listening ear to sex workers, feed the homeless, and visited the elderly in nursing homes; these moments instilled in me a strong desire to help others. Throughout my undergraduate years, I debated whether I would help others on a macro level, by studying economics, or an individual level, by studying psychology. Although both of these fields increased my awareness of systematic and personal issues which kept people
Levi Onwuzurike Mandy Macklin English 131 8, November 2016 Major Paper 2 Draft #2 For my genre critique I thought about a topic that has different opinions and views from the public eye. I wanted my genre to have many arguments and counterarguments in order to be broader when it comes to reasoning. So I came up with going over online teaching.

different opinion of what education should be and why it is important. In this paper, I will address the philosophy I most agree with: progressivism. I will briefly explain what it’s about and why I agree with it. Then I will give you a brief look at my viewpoints on teaching and education in general. First of all, I feel that it is obviously in a student’s nature to want to be around others and be social in all that they do. Aside from that, I believe that students also want to gain knowledge
The People in a Child’s Life who Influence Learning the Most The human brain is most vulnerable to change throughout the early years of a person’s life due to its development. The people that enter a child’s life can alter their attitude and their effort later on. Most importantly, the skills that they are taught can stick with them until the day they die.

college. Through my undergraduate experience, I have seen former students become Resident Assistants, Orientation Leaders, Campus Justices, Emerging Leaders, Peer Leaders and more, where their influence will ripple to engage other future student leaders. Knowing that I am able to assist students in pursuing their dreams gives me confidence that they will give back to another avenue. My journey began in May of 2013 when Western Kentucky
