Personal Narrative: Deep Mission Liberty University

There are several things I hope to gain from my experience as a student at California Baptist University. Such things include, a community of God loving, supporting and encoring friends, a Christian based education and opportunities to grow into the person God created me to be.

East Carolina University is and has always been a dream school for many students including myself. I have grown up hearing about the University and it is nothing short of spectacular. Many family members of mine have attended East Carolina, and I have always pictured myself at this school. It would be an honor to be a pirate. Throughout high school I have struggled in Science and Math. I know I could have done better in high school but in life you can always do something better, im eager to push myself more and work harder than ever to succeed as an adult, if given the chance There are many times when I should I have put school in front of my extra curricular activities such as dancing, art, work, tennis, and swimming. However, all of those

During my two last years of high school, i've been in contact with a lot of colleges and universities. Many of which don’t get my attention. Throughout my whole high school years, there was only one college that i wanted to go to, Liberty University. I have heard so many wonderful things about Liberty and what i loved the most was that it was a christian school. Liberty had the number one thing that i am looking for in a college, that is a christian school, but many of my other things that i look for in a college where just not there. I used to live in Florida approximately 11 years ago and let me tell you, it's hard not to miss the sunshine state. Liberty is in Virginia, a state where it doesn't feel like home. When i received a brochure

In my last two years of highschool I duel enrolled St. Petersburg Community College, my local community college. In my senior year I decided to take online classes due to the very long drive to the nearest campus. I ended up taking Calculus with Analytic Geometry and two other classes online. My Calculus proffessor did not teach or provide any materiel to learn from other than the text book and homework questions. For the first quarter of the class I did well and completed all the assignments easily; however, the class got harder and the textbook no longer provided me with enough information to complete the assignments. I struggled through this part of the class and had a hard time mainting my grade which I wanted to keep as high as possible. After several trips to the campus for tutoring and spending hours trying to find other external resources I began to learn how to solve the problems and brought my grade back up and finally passed the class with an A.

Before coming to James Madison University I had no clue what I wanted to get involved in. Whether it was a club sport, business related group, or a social fraternity I just wanted to be apart of something that was bigger than myself. At the beginning of the school year I looked into tryouts for club baseball, the Madison Investment Fund and rush schedules for fraternities on campus. I quickly found out that club baseball wasn’t for me, at least for my freshman year. I then asked around about MIF and got the sense that you needed a very heavy Economics background and that it was very challenging to be accepted as a freshman. MIF is something I hope to get involved in next fall. In the back of my head I always knew that a social fraternity was what

Coming to Virginia Commonwealth University with a major in social work has been one of the best things I have done in the year of 2016. I can remember awaiting my acceptance into Virginia Commonwealth University and instantly choosing to attend. For the remainder of my senior year of high school, I couldn’t wait to pack up and leave for VCU. Before I knew it, it was August 20, 2016, move-in day. Aside from leaving my parents and hometown, I was a bit upset about having to quit my job, the anxiety of being a broke college student hit me before I even stepped on campus. On move in day I was a bit anxious and a little nervous to leave my parents but at the same time I was ready to leave and explore something new on my own.

I stood in front of my vanity mirror as I did every morning, a bad but an ineluctable habit of mine. I traced my scar from my eyebrow to my cheekbone with my finger. I suppose most people see scars as a sign of survivor, but all I ever saw was my weakness. I don’t mean to be querulous, I was grateful to be alive, I just seemed to constantly be reminded of my mistakes. I shook my head, wishing I could pinion myself so I could stop obsessing over it. As I was leaving that morning, my cocker spaniel sat like a portier at the front door, his big brown eyes pleading me to stay. I felt bad for having to leave him, so I went to go give him a treat. He knew what was happening as soon as I started walking towards the kitchen and started to jump around

What makes me, Hunter Wilkins, an invaluable addition to the UCF community? There are many reasons UCF, and the city of Orlando will benefit from my acceptance. My high energy and sound team skills are defining parts of my plan to excel in college while simultaneously making an impact on my community.

Like No Other are the three simple words that have been chosen to define this school ,and the truth is in many ways it’s not, and in many ways it is. Lindenwood University has become a home and a source of stress for most of the students here, but we all chose to come and most chose to stay here. Some come for sports, scholarships, programs and etc; but most stay become this once unfamiliar place became their home. When talking to four of my fellow students here on campus, who come from all kinds of background, the overwhelming consensus is that lindenwood while it is a pretty a pretty campus the department's need a little work. During my interviews I asked four simple questions: what was your first impression at Lindenwood? Why did you originally

I am finally seeing the beautiful campus at my dream school, Theden Academy! On my way here, I met Hershey, the gorgeous pretty girl from our school who basically bought her way into Theden. We were on the plane together and coincidently or not, we happen to be sitting next each other and not to mention I almost died because she was eating peanuts. After we arrive to the campus, we were told by Dean Warter, the principal, that Theden has a super-late curfew, no dorm check-ins, and no dress codes which is the completely the opposite of most private schools. Later throughout the day, I’ve started to slowly accept the fact that my dream had became reality. After seeing all my classmates, I feel like I truly belongs to this school. I can actually

I believe I am an example of leadership, scholarship, character, and service in my own life. Some of the activities I am in represent how I uphold the ideals throughout my day. With Golf Basketball and all the sports I am in, I uphold the leadership pillar as a guide my peers. In Aca-Deca and Quiz bowl, I demonstrate the pillar of scholarship. While volunteering my time at church events and the in friends program I exhibit the pillars of character and service.

Throughout my whole life, I have struggled with finding the correct mindset because of my learning disability.Before I was placed in the Individual Education Program, I found everything confusing. Since elementary school, I’ve been placed in an Individual Education Program because of my inability to comprehend and grasp the things being taught to me in class. Being placed in this class helped a lot because it assisted me with my homework and also gave me accomodations for everything I did such as class notes or accommodations for tests. This class did not only help me academically but it also helped me grow more as a person and develop a growth mindset rather than a fixed mindset. According to Carol Dweck's article,“Brainology: Transforming

Anyone that is a Christian, a Christ-follower, should be living a life that is focused on advancing God's agendas. Whether you work in a boardroom, behind a desk, on a forklift, or selling cars, you should be working to bring others to the saving grace of Jesus Christ. When your feet hit the ground in the morning, you have entered the mission field. Every encounter is an opportunity to be the example of Christ to a really messed up world. You should ask God to open your eyes to opportunities to serve others. You will meet people all along the way in the business world that are hurting.

My academic work and goals at Colorado Christian University will be influenced by years of experiences

English 101 was a challenging course. A constant stream of reading and writing lead to a demanding yet rewarding semester. The variety of texts read and written about provided a plethora of life lessons and demonstrations of values. Now at the end of the course I find myself a better student and writer. The texts themselves were not influential to my growth as a critical reader or college student. Rather, it was my own analysis of the texts that allowed me to consider other perspectives on technology use in the classroom and the importance of revision when it comes to school work.
