Personal Narrative: My Academic Work With Colorado Christian University

During my time at Union County College I have been faced with a lot of difficulties. I’ve struggled along the way but one thing I do believe is that I have the power to do better. My GPA has been affected by my personal mistakes. In my past semesters I have let my job take over my life rather than let school be most important. I have also let my personal family problems affect my work ethic. But through my fall 2014, it was most difficult because of March 2014 I lost my father through an unexpected heart attack. Throughout my fall semester I did struggle and cope with my father not being here anymore. I believed that I wasn’t focused enough because I used fall semester as a time to occupy myself rather that time out to deal with my father’s

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

I spent a year of college trying to be African. Afrobeats vibrated through the walls of Beets-Veenstra’s first floor dorm. My Christian college had an open-door policy. Walking past the ninth door on the left gave visitors an eyeful of my black hips swaying in circles as if an invisible hula-hoop entangled my waist. I had to get the moves I learned at the parties right. The beats were different from the hip hop music I regularly danced to. They were smooth tempos, but faster than reggae and bodies rocked with more control. My roommate complained about the hours I spent dancing in front of the mirror. We were not flat mates the next the year.

Dallas Baptist University has been at the top of my college enrollment list for quite some time. I fell in love with the campus after my visit in November of 2015. The chapel was the number one thing that caught my eye. The beauty and the structure was just breath taking. I could see myself attending the services and worshiping along with newly made friends. I have been in contact with a current student at DBU, and she has been very helpful in answering my questions and encouraging me to attend the college. There are many reason why i would love to go to DBU. First, the school is very diverse, and it will be nice to see so many different personalities and cultutes around the campus. Second,

On September 14th, Temple University welcomed a very incredible lady, Wanda Benventti. Benvenutti is a photojournalist, writer, and photo editor. However, most importantly she is a woman that truly loves and is passionate about her Puerto Rican culture. I had the opportunity to watch her present her project, that she has been working on for 18 years. My goal as a journalist, is to become a photojournalist. Therefore, meeting Benvenutt gave me a sense of hope, that one day I will become a successful photojournalist. Watching her pictures flow by on the screen, gave me a sense of inspiration.

I'm not sure if you remember me right off hand, but last semester I had you for my level twos. My placement was at Valley Lutheran was Mrs. Reinking. I also work at Family Video where I sometimes see you. I am filling out my teaching application for the Fall of 2018. I was wondering if I could put you down as a reference? Hope to hear from you soon.

After much time thinking and praying about this my wife and I decided that change in our life would be a good thing. I went back to my position of a commercial truck driver at FedEx. I work four ten-hour shifts with Tuesdays and the weekends off. Another important factor in my life is my church, my church family, and the calling that the Lord has given to me in my life. My wife and I are the children’s pastors and love our ministry and our children. We have realized that this is our home and where God want us. If I continued on the path of management we would have had to move in the future. Our pastors are realizing that their getting near retirement age and want to train the new leaders in our church. I have completed a three-year School of Ministry course and have been ordained as a Pastor. I now have a sense of peace and comfort that I’m doing what God has called of me in my life. But there is a piece that I’m missing. That piece is finishing my education. It’s always been a goal of mine to get a degree. It’s now my goal to get an Associates degree in biblical studies. I’m also still thinking about even getting my Bachelor’s and eventually getting a Masters in

I affirm Sterling College’s Statement of Faith. I find comfort in Christ during my daily life, knowing he died for my salvation. In times of struggle, I turn to Him for peace and in times of peace, I praise him joyfully for His goodness. During the loss of those I love, I find relief in knowing they rest in Heaven, and I will one day be joined with them again.

Hello everyone. I moved to the United States 5 years ago when I was 15, and started my high school experience at Coppell High School. Right now, I am a sophomore in college and about 20 years old, and I was living in Dallas for all of those years except this year because of the University that I am attending, the University of Texas at Austin, so I am currently living at Austin to be close to the University. I have attended Dallas Community College for my freshman year, and I still take my general classes there. My major is Electrical Engineering, and I am deciding to major in three sub discipline of this major; Communication, Circuit, and Software Engineering. One of my best experiences was studying at the Dallas Community College because

Being bright and with a strong work ethic, I advanced quickly in my work life. Exposing myself to various office skills enticed me to go back and take the GED Exam, which I passed easily. Afterward, I took every opportunity to learn that I could afford. Sometimes these were lunchbox learning courses taught at my local community organization, and other times they were professional development opportunities. Combined with my work ethic and determination, upward mobility in my job was turning into long term development and an actual career in the field of Human Resources. I was successful in making it to the management level without college courses to lean on. In the late 1990’s, I dedicated my life to Christ, and married a magnificent man in 2000. After having our two children, I realized that I was modeling many aspects of the life I wanted to teach my children, with the exception of my formal education. I took college courses here and there when finances allowed, and in 2005, I obtained the coveted PHR Certification from the Human Resources Certification

Originally, I was born in Indiana. But a little accent maybe from Texas. My wife is from Texas, and so I spent many of my years growing up in Texas so a little bit that picked up. And then, I was lucky enough to go to Southern Adventist University graduated from there and took a call down to Florida. And so I spent probably about nine years almost ten years in

For my summer 2015, I lived in Calvin College's dormitories as a housing assistant. This job included waking up early to check in summer conference guests, to issue keys, and to direct the guests to their respective rooms. In addition to that, my responsibilities included answering inquiries pertaining to hall services, and generally serving as a resource to residents and conference guests.

Since I was little I always knew going to college was the plan for me, but in all honesty I never thought of attending University of Saint Francis until about a year or 2 ago. When I did hear about Saint Francis from a student that attends there I knew that it was everything I wanted in a college. It is close enough to home and it has amazing programs for my career choice.

Last summer I had the incredible opportunity to spend three weeks at Valparaiso University for the Summer Global Leadership Institute(SGLI). This international program, which was only about 2 hours away from my home, also recruited students from China, South Korea, and Ghana. I met different people from around the world who had customs and traditions that were different from what I was used to. My roommate, Michelle, was born and raised in Ghana until high school. We had a lot of similarities, such as our aspiration to become nurses, and the fact that we both missed being home with our families, but we had a lot more differences. Although everyone was different, it was easier and more interesting to learn about one another. Michelle taught
