Personal Narrative College Is The Perfect Fit For Me

My College and Career goals include graduating college and getting a job. I wish to attend the University of Alabama. I plan to major in occupational therapy or speech therapy. After I graduate with my bachelor's degree I wish to get my master's degree. After I finish my schooling I want to receive a job that allows me to provide for my family. I wish to receive this job in my degree's field. After receiving this job I wish to improve to reach a leadership role.

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

As my high school years were coming to an end, all anyone could talk about was college. Where they were going, what state they would be a resident in, and what they would major in, what campus they would be visiting that weekend. I, however, thought I had it all under control. I thought that when my Senior year came by it would all fall in to place. That's crazy, right? The shows that I grew up watching did not have to deal with this. That is when expectation went out the window and reality kicked me in the butt. I had five months left to start applying to colleges and looking in to different campuses that offered my dental hygiene program. Lucky for me, my community college had a two year program.

In the Allegory of the Cave, Plato distinguishes between people who mistake sensory knowledge for the truth and people who really do see the truth. In this a group of people have lived in a deep cave since birth, basically never seeing the light of day. They are prisoners. The people are bound so that they cannot look to either side or behind them, but only straight ahead. Behind them there is a fire. And behind that fire there is a partial wall. On top of the wall are different statues, which are held up by a group of people, hiding behind the wall out of sight. Since there is the fire, the statues cast shadows across the

As a junior in Early College I would more or less consider this my second year, as I have been taking college classes for three years now. However, I can still identify an issue I am facing with my courses. As I am trying to graduate a five year program in only four years, I have taken on a lot of responsibility as a 16 year old. I am currently taking 6 courses this semester, and I will have to take five courses every other semester to graduate on time. As I thought this would be a busy course load for me, I ended up quitting my job because they could not comply with the hours I requested due to school. I completely regret this, as I now have to work at a job that I am not making much money at and I have even had to take on some side jobs just to be able to pay my insurance on time. Sometimes, people make decisions that they think will better them and make life easier, but they make these decisions without careful consideration and at least trying the circumstance before changing everything.

There are a couple of things about me that I think will help me succeed at Bellevue College. I take a lot of notes and set the necessary time aside to study. I am very self-disciplined and I have always been a very goal oriented person. When I started my job three years ago I set a goal that I would also obtain a degree in accounting. This is something I am taking very seriously and I can’t wait to gain knowledge to further my career.

In Plato’s Republic, Socrates describes a cave in which men are chained to the ground to the point where they are not able to move at all, save for their eyes. These men spend their lives staring at the wall of the cave where shadows are projected due to clay figures sitting atop of a wall behind the men while a great fire blazes behind the wall, casting shadows of the clay figures on the cave wall. Due to watching the shadows on the wall for so long, the men perceived the shadows as the ‘Truth.’ Outside of the cave, there are hills, trees, lakes, people, the sky, stars, the moon, and the sun. If one of the men were to be unchained and dragged out of the cave and into the outside world, he would see that the shadows are not the ‘Truth’ but

Going to a private school with my brother, I wasn't prepared for the financial difficulties that would arise for my family and I. After getting accustomed to the my classes, professors, and curriculum my freshman year; I fell in love with Baylor. I didn't think my family would struggle to make ends meet. By my sophomore year, my parents got into an accident and hospital expenses would force both my brother and I to a community college. Due to the uniqueness of my major in Texas and my goal to graduate in four years, I was determined to finish at Baylor. I began working as much as I could to help relief some of the finances off of my parents. My summers went to balancing classes and working full-time to raise money for the upcoming school year.

am writing to you to inform you about my progress at City College. City College has become my second house, and I can say I have been taking advantage of this great new college experience. This past semester was very successful, and interesting; I took four classes which I passed with A’s. Even though I took only four classes, at the beginning it was very difficult to adapt to the big classes with hundreds of students, and long hours of study in order to past tests with good grades. However, all the efforts made this semester helped me to discover new passions on me that did not exist before.

“If you want to continue your education, you should go to the local community college like everyone else here and be a teacher, daycare worker, or nurse. You really cannot afford anything else, and why would you want to leave home?” These are the general comments I heard when the time arrived for me to decide my future after high-school. As if to the echo their words, I was rejected at big name colleges and waitlisted at the out-of-state college I would eventually attend. With my mom being a single mother and I as a McDonald’s employee, it was also true that my family could not afford the price tag of an expensive college. Following the path expected of me would have been easier, but I wanted to see another side of the world and experience something new. This is why I left my hometown to attend a liberal arts college where I knew no one and would make a fresh start. However, striving to be an individual in a society imposing conformation and perfection has been the greatest obstacle I have had to overcome.

Four years of college, a lot of learning, but lost as to my real purpose in life. This was reality in my final semesters of my Baccalaureate program, that is until I signed up for Ceramics I in the Fall of 2013 to curb the curiosity I held for clay since my first tub of air-dry clay at seven years old. After my first month in the ceramics studio under Piero Fenci my childlike wonder and excitement was reawakened. I knew that I had to continue working in and learning everything about this amazing medium.

After completing the college search, I am feeling stressed and way too overwhelmed because feel that i don't enough activities to do like joining a sport team or things that are wanted from a student. I am also feeling like I know more about what some university want and require; without this college search I would only get a little bit information about what college want from other people or whatever would pop up on ads. I am not that satisfied with current academic record because I am not in any sports, clubs, etc. so I need to step up and be more involved in school activities. My strength points are volunteering and getting good grade and that's it; my weak point are very where in my opinion, I need to be involved take risks and become

In Plato’s allegory of the cave, these prisoners were chained facing a wall and could only see shadows cast on the cave’s wall by a fire that burned, out of sight, behind them. Already from Plato’s description the reader can derive that the prisoners have very limited knowledge, having lived in these surroundings they are ignorant to anything else. The allegory then continues with a description of a walkway on which models and shares of objects are displayed across. The shadows of these objects are what create the shadows on the cave walls. There are also echoes off the wall from the noised produced from the walkway. The prisoners would take the shadows and echoes to be real things and even took great pride in their eyesight and their interpretive abilities, yet they were looking at shadows, mere illusions.

The prisoner’s legs and neck are in chains and as a result, they can only see what is immediately in front of them. Behind the prisoners is a fire. When people pass by the fire with various objects, shadows project onto the wall in front of the prisoners. As the prisoners can only ever see the shadows projected on the wall, they believe these shadows to be reality. Plato uses the cave to symbolise the visible world.

Book VII of Plato’s republic starts off with Socrates speaking about the education that takes place with the prisoners in the cave. He explains that they are chained up all their life where they can only see a wall and that’s it. Behind these prisoners is the raging fire and in front of the fire are statues that are being moved by other people who the prisoners do not know about. The point of this, that Socrates explains in further detail, is to educate the prisoners about reality, as well as their perception of reality. This scene was very dark in the sense that there were prisoners stuck in a cave only being able to look at one wall with shadows on it for their entire lives.
