Personal Narrative: Helping Abroad Scholarship

For my Follow-on Service Project, I aim to promote the notion that studying abroad is an experience that everyone can have. I will emphasized that this opportunity is not limited to the elite few who have the money to pay for the experience out of their own pocket. I will accomplish this by highlighting the various funding opportunities available to students, especially those opportunities geared specifically toward lower-income students. I will encourage students to look at every possible avenue such as local scholarships available back home, university scholarships, organizational scholarships, departmental scholarships, state-level scholarships, and national scholarships.

Throughout my educational experience I noticed the discrepancies with regard to the advantages my peers possessed. In high school as I began exploring what career I wished to pursue, I experienced inferiority as my classmates who’ve taken the ACT three times, visited college campuses, and have had resumes ready since the 6th grade unintentionally mocked my lack of college-readiness. However, my ignorance wasn’t intentional, my parents never reached a high school education in Mexico, they couldn’t pass down SAT tips or acquire internship opportunities for me. I realized it's vital to pick up the pace to avoid being left in the dust akin to countless others in my situation. Henceforth, this statement resonates with my experience, I interpreted

Scholarly personal narrative (SPN) was developed by Robert Nash who integrated the personal story into resect. SPN study tells a story that can clarify an issue beyond a specific case studied (p. 127, Brookfield). SPN is a research method that brings the researcher’s personal experience as a legitimate study form (p. 1, Heidelberger & Uecker).

What is culture? Culture is the idea of what is wrong or right, the concept of what is acceptable within our society. Culture serves us as a guide, taking us to the "right way" and helping us to make sense of things that surrounds us. There are many different cultures around the world. A lot of them are similar in specific ways and others are just completely different, this difference explains why we think that people from different backgrounds are "weird".

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

My personal faith grows daily by my choice to follow my love and savior, Jesus, every day I wake up. It was by no accident that God showed me Liberty University, and has now become a top option in my choices of colleges. I believe in the deep mission Liberty University has to develop Christ-centered believers because it is the same mission I strive to live out daily in my walk as a follower of Christ. My season of life will not always be the same as someone else's, but I pray that what I have walked through and what God taught me in those seasons can give perspective to others. I have grown up always knowing God but not until my sophomore year in high school did I truly start to live that out. I took two opportunities in the past two years

It is a game of inches played nearly everywhere by every age. From backyards to little league parks and professional stadiums, by tee-ball playing kindergartners to old-timer leagues, baseball is a game that is considered America’s pastime for a good reason. Baseball, and simply sports in general, help teach many important life lessons such as hard work, sportsmanship and dedication. These qualities, along with many other things, are necessary for success in today’s world. The sport of baseball is very popular in other countries as well, and for many of the youth in these countries, it represents a way out. A way out from the poverty and crime and a way to a better life here in America. Out of all of the opportunities afforded to me

HELLO GUYS!!! I have something veryyyyyyyy important to tell you! After all of my stressing about FAFSA ( Free Application Federal Student Aid) , Colleges, and Transportation, I decided to further my education at Rowan University. It took me a long time to make this decision because this wasn’t my first choice! My first choice/ dream school was LIU Brooklyn ( Long Island University) in Brooklyn, New York. I was recently accepted there and planned on attending there, but their out-of-state tuition was extremely high! Their tuition was $33,000 a year and poor black man like myself, cannot afford it. I really loved LIU because it's a great school, beautiful campus, and most of all, it's in New York. I had my whole planned before it even started,

) stood there in her deep green missionary uniform, firm as a statue and kind as a nun. Her older hands slick with sweat had a slight tremble as she handed out flyers to New City commuters. My grandmother was my first example of a pillar in the community. Every day she strived to improve the lives of those around her neighborhood. I adopted many of her ways, which has lead me into the field of social work. With my degree, I plan to work with one of the most disadvantaged groups in society, the elderly. Every day when I get up to go work, I will be impacting the lives of the elder person and countless members of their inner circle. This will give me a sense of purpose in my life.

I have interviewed my friend Victor Molina who’s also a Full Sail student. The app we talked about was Uber. We have talked about why is Uber one of his favorite apps, the benefits to using Uber rather than traditional cab, we also talked about what he likes one the app and what could be improved. We talked about features that could be added to improve the user experience, one of them was voice commands to easy dictate the destination and call for a car, another feature we talked about was a vibration notification where the app would vibrate the number of minutes left for the driver to arrive when the driver reaches the 5 minute mark to arrive, because we both noticed that both of us have to keep the app opened if we want to check how long

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.

I have entered this contest to wins a scholarship, because I am on the last leg of my journey before I graduate, in December 2017. However, for some reason I have fallen short in this spring semester with financial aid. I am Ruby J Thompson, I returned to school at the age of 48, I graduated may 2014, from Tidewater Community College Magna cum laude. As I stated earlier I returned to school at the age of 48, I was homeless and had reached a point in my life where nothing was working in my favor. Returning to school was also to show my sons that no matter what your going through in life you must press on. I had a heart problems arise my second semester, I sprained my ankle, but I never gave up. Even as I type this I am doing do with a broken

When my husband first purchased our RV, you said that you would be happy for me to come whenever we weren't traveling. Looking at our travel plans, there will be times that I am away for months at a time. I am concerned the few days I am there would be more of a disruption than a help. Would it be possible to chat about this, tomorrow, while I'm there?

“Savankah! Point your toes. Straighten you knees. Do you want to look like a complete slop come competition season?” I corrected myself, regathered my thoughts and started my beam routine from the beginning. It had been three and a half hours and Jana, pronounced Yana, had been onto me since I stepped in the door.

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.
