Personal Narrative: My Application To A Community College

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.

In the back of my mom’s moving car, I wake up in a daze. The Gameboy that was previously in my hands had fallen to the floor, and the sun’s rays that had previously glared through the window were replaced with the shine of the moon and stars. As my small hands press up against the glass, my eyes twinkle and my toothy, black holed grin widens at the celestial body blaring in the night sky. Astonished, I watch the moon seemingly follow our car, almost as if my existence awed the moon and not the reverse. As the full moon swallows the sky, the unknown distance between us becomes minuscule. If only my three foot frame was a bit bigger, if only my arms could stretch as far as my imagination, I could touch the moon. It was in this moment that I

Going to college, is where your journey in life really begins. Choosing the right college for you is one of the biggest decisions you make in life. I choose California Baptist University to enhance my studies, meet people pursuing the same passion as I am, and become closer to God.

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

Graduating high school was an exciting time, but I felt lost. I wasn't sure of my career goals or what I wanted to accomplish at University. When I first decided to attend community college, I felt hesitant because I did not take the traditional route like my other classmates. However, community college was cheaper and would give me time to figure out the career path I wanted to take.

When I first started thinking about college schools I never thought about going to MSU or Ole Miss. I wanted to go to the bigger universities, but I knew I wouldn’t do well if I went there my first year. My high school did not prepare me enough for University, and I hadn’t decided on a major either. I choose East Central Community College (ECCC) as the school I would go to for many reasons, and when I got here I knew I made the right choice.

I am a transfer student from Gadsden State Community College and I have recently lost my job due to the production going over seas. After this had taken place I was given the opportunity for the government to pay for the rest of my schooling. I was given two forms that needed to be filled out by JSU officials stating how long my course, "Secondary Education with a focus in English" would take to complete and how much the tuition for the course would be. When I showed this to the Bursar's office and explained to them what I needed, they gazed at the two sheets of paper as if it was written in a foreign language. They told me I had came to the wrong office, and to try down stairs at the Registrar's office. After much confusion at the Registrar's office, they also gave me a blank stare and told me they did not know what they could do. They then told me to try Ramona Wood Hall and see if I had any better luck there, I did not. I talked to the Secretary for the Department of Secondary Education. She took the two forms from me and told me to come back in two hours and she would find out what was needed. Two hours past by, and as I walked into the room she kindly handed the papers back to me and asked where I got the papers from. She said she has never seen papers like this before and was sorry to say she could not help me in any way.

My aunt was the first influence in my decision to attend Sam Houston State University. She attended Sam Houston State University when I was a child. I remember going to her graduation, the only person in my family to have graduated from a university, and thinking “I want to do that too!”. I will be the second person in all of my family to graduate from college and I wanted to do so at Sam Houston State University because of the prestigious reputation that stems from the College of Criminal Justice. SHSU is a nationally known university, and the College of Criminal Justice is admired by many. When I finished high school I originally thought I would major in psychology, but as I continued my collegiate career I discovered I was passionate about

Inspiration, influence, goals; all of these words birth feelings and memories of important events, events that have impacted our hopes, dreams, and admirations. Which is why when I was asked to come up with one event or experience in my life that has influenced my academic work and goals both in my past and leading up to now as I apply for Colorado Christian University, I had to give it quite a bit of thought. This experience has become the basis for my inspiration, influence and goals in my life and especially now as I see admission into Colorado Christian University. Which brings me to the answer you have so patiently awaited, the event that I believe has influenced my academic work and goals is when I finally turned my life over to God.

I’ve always enjoyed being in sports basically anything that had to do with me being active I would join. But as we all know being in a sport you had to have good grades at least a C or better, I wanted to do track so bad so I had to increase my grades. It was hard managing the both, I could remember all the anger and frustration inside me that I can’t hold in any longer and I start getting frustrated with everything around me even frustrated with myself. Somehow I managed to balance both and I achieved what I wanted to do.

When I was choosing my college, I looked at a lot of different factors. These factors included the location of the college, the school’s diversity rate, and the rank of the college. I also spent a lot of time researching in-state colleges because tuition was cheaper and only certain in-state schools would take all my college credit plus courses, which started me off as a sophomore here at the University of Cincinnati. One huge deciding factor was if I felt that I could make a difference at the university or not. When I went on my UC college tour the area reminded me of home and I felt that I would’ve been able to make an impact at the school and the environment, I felt that I would be more than just a number. I applied to a few other

I unpack my clothes placing them into the draws on my side of the room. My roommate still hadn't shown up. It's a shame because my step mum wanted to see the guy that would be rooming with me . I could see traces of him from stuff he left in the room from last school term. It probably didn't help my step mum's nerves seeing the empty box of condoms laying on the floor. She nearly then and there pulled the plug on the operation, but knew she couldn't . She was already stressed as it is having to move the whole family to New York just to get better treatment for my dad who is suffering with stage one of cancer. Leaving me in another state didn't set right with her.Applying to a public school wasn't an option though because it wouldn't be the safest environment for me to live with them. We didn't have time to change schools so this was plan B. Turn Parker into a boy and make her attend an all boy boarding school was a go. It wasn't that hard since I dressed and act like one from the begin.Though the idea of leaving two teens spilling with hormones together was appalling,she didn't have an option. It wasn't as if I showed her I had any remote interest in boys. Still as she left I swear I saw a tear

Attending North Greenville University has been one of the best decisions I’ve made, aside from devoting my life to Christ. However, it was not the easiest choice nor was it my first choice, it was definitely God’s best option for me though. My senior year of high school when I was searching for colleges, my initial thought was to find a college that supported my beliefs and my major. Though in my family and friend groups the only schools I heard of in state were Anderson University and Southern Wesleyan University. I looked at both of these options, both were right factually. What I was looking for in schools were there, but I didn’t feel at home with either two. I knew God had a better plan for me, where I would actually enjoy being at school not to just go because I have to be there to get a degree.

In a journey to college I have faced similar problems as many others one of the problem Ive faced was decide which university or community college I want to

Now, onto my experience. I was sitting in Study Hall then I overheard a conversation between a student and teacher regarding this program called Futures Lab, which is a program to guide students into college. This conversation inspired me to leave Study Hall; to check out Futures Lab so I’d started searching “Special Needs Colleges” which gave me a surplus of colleges to look from such as Landmark, Mitchell and Beacon Colleges. The first website that intrigued me was Mitchell College; which was first on my top choices of schools as it provided train transportation and my major, which is Television Communications. One of two things that I did was, doing a virtual tour of campus as that’s when my excitement was out of control since Mitchell was the college that was a perfect fit at that certain time. Then the second thing that I did was; I had recorded information in my notebook and printed about fifteen pages of paper on Mitchell College to give to my parents for them to read why Mitchell was the right place for me to get my education.
