Personal Narrative: Being A Liberal Arts Class

A great impact that I witnessed that year is when I took the school field trip to numerous colleges close to the city. I had never been to a university or even a community college. Therefore, me going to those visit gave me a greater idea on what type of college I'd like to attend. One of the colleges I remembered we toured to was Lakeland Community College. I really liked the aspects that it has, with the classrooms even the on campus living. Taking trip like that sets your mind up but also prepares you to know what to expect and look for when you are college searching.

Since I was little, I have always loathed history. I never understood why there was a need to learn about events that already happened; only the future mattered. But when my history teacher from sophomore year described AP US History as the class where students learned to appreciate history, I doubted how one class could change my mindset and decided to take the challenge and enroll.

Before I became interested in Spelman college, I knew the type of education that I wanted to receive. I wanted an education that would cater to my many endeavors. I wanted to learn wholly, passionately and creatively. During NSO, when Dr. Burnett spoke, I realized receiving a liberal arts education is more than learning it is an act of resilience, and an act of courage.

Well for me writing is my weak point. Although it is my weak point I have still been learning and I am up for more opinions on how to better my writing skills. I can say that my writing skills have gone up some since I have been enrolled Bethel University. When I first started here I was terrified, especially when I found out that Bethel is a writing based college. I still get nervous and scared at the beginning of every class and I stay nervous till I see how I am doing in the class. There has been many teachers that have helped inspire me and those that have taught me to never give up no matter what. So the advice I would give to my boss or family is to never give up. We all face hard times and we all have things we are not so good at. It

I hope the year has been interesting for you so far at Westinghouse. As for me, I am 9th week in of my semester. To be honest, the classes at USC are extremely difficult. I found myself studying over 10 hours a day, but the work has paid off for most of my classes. I am really struggling in writing and biology. USC's writing standards is so different from than the typical "high school's five paragraph essay". I feel extremely motivated nowadays, maybe it was the change of scenery. I still remember when we talked few months ago, I seemed to be a bit unmotivated with life. That has all change :).

Up above the classroom full of children staring at me, I have to adjust this light fixture. I remember being in class thinking the maintenance people were so obnoxious. I don't remember being that small when I was 17 either. I feel so old now, how strange.

My class system experience is somewhat unique. I think I have been in almost all class systems at one point or another. I was born in rural South Carolina, mostly cotton fields and mills. My father was in Vietnam fighting the war when i was born, we started off very poor, my parents were 17 and 19 years old. My family stayed right on the poverty line until I was around 8 years old. My father started his own business and we moved into the lower middle class. We stayed in the lower middle class until I was 20 years old. My father opened a chain of pawn shops and moved into the upper middle class, and eventually to the upper class, however I was a grown man at this point and went back to lower working class. I eventually became moderately successful

As I walked around Northwestern it seemed that at any minute a building could spring up and join the swaths of modern structures that lined the campus. This not only differentiated architecturally from other prestigious universities but also signaled a different way of thinking and learning at the university. At Northwestern I was blown away by the dedication to empowering the student body and encouraging learning as a community. I can think of no better example of this than The Garage. As someone who enjoys working with others, having a space to experiment and build entrepreneurial skills is somethings that I would utilize as often as I could on campus. Classroom academics at Northwestern also hold true to this mentality. I had intended to

This class is very different than my high school classes, especially in structure, organization, and pace. I have learned that I need to be better prepared for the time essays are due and the amount of time and effort it takes to write a good essay that follows the guidelines. In my writing, I have learned that I tend to write in passive voice and I need to eliminate my vague words that I use. This class has been very challenging but the biggest challenge I have faced this year is trying to keep up with the pace of the class. I struggled with juggling this class and my other high school classes work load, but I have gotten better and I feel more organized and prepared now. I think my best work was my first essay, I spent a lot of time and effort

In general, I’m not a big fan of school, for the idea of having to sit still and learn for six hours a day, five days a week is impossible to stand. For this reason, this question is hard to answer, until I realized that a class does not have to be in school. It could be an online course on coding, or a welding class in a makerspace. By that definition, the most exciting class that I have ever done would be a soldering workshop.

May 1st has become known as National College Decision Day, the final day universities will allow students to either accept decline offers of admission. Leading up to this day, students may feel heavy confusion about the future and what it will hold. The factors contributing to this confusion vary from student to student, but the urgency to make a decision does not. Personally, I thought I had avoided this confusion. My life seemed laid out, the dream had always been to attend the University of Iowa and become a Hawkeye. My trip to Iowa City was intriguing, yet failed to give a feeling of sureness that it was where I belonged. During January of 2016, I took a trip with family to visit my sister in Tucson, Arizona, and visited The University

During my visit to the Berkeley Adult School the first thing that strikes me is that it feels like a learning environment. While this may seem a given I have not always found that to be the case when visiting other adult learning campuses. The student body is a diverse population inclusive of, but limited to, homeless person trying to establish basic education skills in math and literacy in order to acquire and maintain employment to the spouses of International students from UC Berkeley seeking to improve their English. The students appear relaxed, but also serious and engaged. They are there to learn. A former elementary school campus (my own child actually attended first grade there) the space now serves the vast needs of Adult Learners, aged 18 and up, from Berkeley and surrounding areas. As an institution BAS seems to be doing its’ part in offering a wide range of educational opportunities for those seek to improve their skills, as well as significant support services to improve student’s potential for success in their pursuits.

I was asked to write how things will be different in my plans to continue my schooling. I’d like to first address what happened because the first thing that is needed to fix a problem is to be able to identify the problem. Going through my first semester at NICC, I feel it went well for going to a new school. I was able to pass all my classes except my intermediate algebra class that I had at 8:00 Am in the morning. I started this class and all the other classes two weeks late. This meant that I had to catch up for two weeks of homework while I worked on my other homework that I needed to catch up on in my other classes. Because of that I never got to start from day one and work my way through the class like everyone else. Instead, I had to

When it comes to math, how much I retain comes from how long I tend to stay focused in class. During my freshman and sophomore years of high school, I was on the same roster as many of my friends, which caused me to goof around and lose focus in class which in turn made my grade less than what I desired. During my junior year, however, I was not around many people that I often hung with which later proved to be the best thing for me because that year I maintained a high A in the class and learned the material with relative ease. My math teacher for those three years, which I must admit that at first she wasn’t a very good teacher, but over the course of my next two years she taught me a lot and I thank her for that. One bad experience I

This latter is to tell you what I hope to happen, what I expected, and what I learned durry the school. There maybe one or two questions here and there.
