Personal Narrative: Double Majoring In Psychology And Education

I decided to go to College when I was about 23 years old. I did well in college. My college classes focused me to have to come out of

Firstly, I chose to go to college for personal reasons. I never thought that I was able to accomplish going to college, especially after I began having children. My mother never made it past the tenth grade. For her being a single mother of six, she made it crystal-clear that she would not accept any of us not graduating from high school. I am the only one of my siblings ever to attend college. Going to college was never a goal set for us in our household while growing up as kids. Even though my mother did not shy away from the topic, it was not forced upon us as motivational either. This new progression will be life changing for me and my

In the beginning of my college search I had no intentions of attending community college. I began having thoughts of not continuing my education past high school, but something was not right. This is the point in which I decided I still needed to continue my education, but was not prepared for a four year institution. It was one of the best decisions that I have made so far in my short life. The individuals I have met, the courses I have taken, and the opportunities I have had so far has allowed me to create a better self as well as preparing me to continue my education at a four year institution.

I have chosen to spend the next four years of my life in college simply because I want to have a steady job and be successful throughout the course of my life. By going to college I can refine my skills in the area of work in which I would like to pursue. College is a good experience because you can meet people from a large variety of places and cultures. You also learn life lessons about living under a roof where your parents aren’t there to do everything for you.

My plan for a post-high school education is to attend the University of South Dakota. While attending, I will be engaged on attaining my Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences with a pathway to Occupational Therapy. During my sophomore or junior year of my undergraduate studies I will apply for acceptance into the Occupational Therapy program. Once I am accepted I plan on attending the University of South Dakota for another three years to complete my graduate studies.

Certainly by now, you know my name. However, I prefer to go by Mia. I have been a student at SBVC since fall of 2013. I know... it seems like a long time. The reason for that is I am a double major. In Spring of 2018 I will be graduating with my Associate's degrees in Business Administration and Accounting. I work extremely hard on my educational career goals. For example, I have maintained a 4.0 GPA and am an honor student. I currently work on-call for a local school district and enjoy every minute of it. I am also a creative writer, which I haven't had much time to do lately, but plan to get back to it as time allows. In fact, one of my newest ventures is marketing in the digital economy, so my creative writing will definitely get

When I was younger and thinking about college I always pictured it as I saw it in the movies, you sleep all day and have fun all night. Know what I know now I understand the importance of college and I think of it a little differently than before. I know that I need to work hard and study hard to be able to succeed at my fullest potential in college. I have had a few experiences in my life that have helped me realize that I need to work hard to get the output which I was hoping for in the beginning. I’ve seen my sister diagnosed with diabetes her first week of high school, I’ve witnessed my dad struggling through cancer and conquering it, and I have made it through 6 month of grueling and time consuming physical therapy to make it so I could use my shoulder again. Through these experiences my perspective about hard work and perseverance has changed dramatically, and for that I am thankful.

I am majoring in child education because when I was little I loved to teach. I was born with Cerebral Palsy: that’s a disorder in my brain that lacked oxygen when I was born, it only affects my legs to drag. I also was diagnosed with spinal bifida and that is a dysfunction that made me have a hole on the bottom of my spine and you can see it on the very bottom of my back and that The first thing I have ever taught was when I was five years old and my sister was a little as eight months old when I taught her how to walk. The next thing I taught was myself how to ride a two-wheel bike. I also have been teaching my brother math since he was three years old. Throughout elementary school, I was bullied because some

Despite all the doubts I have, I know college will be beneficial for my life. Attending college will mature me into an adult and cause me to shed my childhood. It will also teach me things I did not learn previously. I will gain a college degree which will allow me to acquire a well-paying job and benefit my family and I in the future. Finally, despite the cost, I'll pay less with the help of scholarships I gain. College is an experience I would hate to miss. No matter what happens and what hardships I will have to endure, I wouldn't miss it for the

College was a changing point for many people you either went to college,worked or did what you wanted to do. I chose to go to college like most kids to get a degree in something you love or want to do. I want to major in business I always liked business and the idea of it and the fact you could go many ways with it was interesting. I did not know how college was gonna start for me because in high school, I did not do that great and teachers did not think I would have the best time in college. There are many things college has to offer for the student attending there and they are great to take advantage of.

I was a Sociology major in undergraduate. Our training required us to model simple regression in SAS when I was a sophomore. I learned STATA from my advisor in Taiwan when doing research in my junior year. In my senior year, I handled the student survey of our department and analyzed it by SPSS. Besides, since I double majored Psychology, I also had to be familiar with some basic understandings of Calculus. So far, I have been TA for statistics in sociology department for several times in the last three years. Currently, I am the teaching assistant for both Linear Regression and Longitudinal Data Analysis at Sociology department at UNC Chapel Hill. As for the specific skills, I am able to do more advanced analyses in STATA, such as propensity

College- the most wonderful place to be. They tell you college is where you meet the people you are going to spend the rest of your life with. It is also the place where you are driven insane with a load of school work, a sport, and a job. I am in college because both of my parent went to college. I never knew it was an option not to go to college, until I was already here. Now that I have been sucked in to four or eight more years of education, I have set several goals: to keep the highest GPA that I can manage, to have a full course load each semester, to graduate with a degree that I am both proud of and am interested in, and to make memories that will last me a lifetime.

I struggled with the idea of college from the beginning, even more so when it actually came down to picking one and signing the paperwork. I applied to just three schools: Grand View University, University of Northern Iowa, and Wartburg College. I worried that my horizons were limited because some of my peers seemed to spend every spare moment filling out applications for colleges and scholarships. I knew not what I wanted to do or how well I would transition from high school to college and independent living.
