Personal Narrative: My Bachelor's Degree At Indiana University

As I sat on the couch getting ready for the first day back at school, I heard the phone in the kitchen ring. I stood up to go answer it and I heard loud footsteps coming down the stairs. My mother was running down the stairs to answer it just in case it was one of her work calls. I noticed that her voice started to crack as if she was going to cry and the smile that she once had on her face had disappeared. The person on the other end of the phone was my Uncle Dylan from California calling to let us know that Aunt Liz had died in a car wreck. We were so devastated but little did we know she left me $12k. A couple days later I received a letter in the mail saying that I had to use it to help pay for my tuition. I am looking to attend the nursing program at Lindenwood, Missouri State, or St. Louis University.

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,

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

Growing up my father taught me many life lessons; one that I will never forget was when he told me: “A man living in a house without light will never know where he is going or what he wants to do.” At the time I did not understand what that meant until one day he explained in to me. Without proper goals a person is just lost in darkness and unable to find their way in life. By working towards my goals, I feel that I am constantly growing as an individual and learning how to approach all sorts of situations that life throws at me. Recently, being a part of the EOF Nursing School Program at Rutgers University, I feel that I have just set the foundation to achieving my goals which include graduating with my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing alongside one day opening a home for the less fortunate in Guyana.

I begin my college career at Armstrong Atlantic State University in August of 2010. Of course as any incoming freshman, you struggle with the adjustments of being on your own and self-sufficient course learning. My freshman year to me was more of an adjustment to the true courses load. During my sophomore year, I became more focused and understood what was require to get the right grades. It was towards the end of my sophomore year that I had to withdraw for a semester due to my father’s diagnosis of cancer. My parents felt it was best to help out financially and to lend a hand with the care of my father. At this point of time, my life and education endeavors was put on hold for the sake of my father. I decided to go back to college after

ay 9th, 2017 was the day that essentially my whole life had changed. Essentially for about ten days straight prior to May 9th, I had checked Campusnet consistently to see the status of my application as a College Credit Plus student at Cleveland State University. Within those ten days, I had thought about all the nights I had dedicated to my education rather than enjoy myself as a teenager. Through out the process of applying to Cleveland State University, I truly doubted myself as I usually do. Many thoughts that most teenagers don't often think about constantly popped up. However, when I checked my campus net account on May 9th at 9:45 p.m., my whole life had changed in what felt like a split second. My heart felt less heavy and I found

I expect that I will feel very comfortable at the University of Delaware since I have lived in Delaware for all of my life and several of my friends already attend the school. However, I am not too used to northern Delaware, so that will take some getting used to but that excites me. I am also used to both large and small classes since I went to a positively tiny middle school and a very large high school, so I do not expect to be shocked by the class sizes. Although, I do hope that I can remain as close to my professors I have been with my teachers for the past twelve years.

As a college graduate, I would probably be perplexed if I were offered a lump sum of $5,000 sign-on bonus for my first post-college job. There are a number of things to consider when deciding whether to pay off existing debt or invest the money for additional earning potential. The first thing that I would consider is my risk tolerance including my age, income, earning power, time horizon and tax situation (Artzberger, 2014). My age at the time would weigh into the decision heavily. Meaning, at this time, I am relatively young and the time value of $5,000 at 5% interest would be approximately $21,000. Since I have paid taxes on the money, I could invest in a Roth IRA for tax-free gains upon retirement. On the other hand, paying off debt may

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.

Describe an event or experience in your life and how it will influence your academic work and goals at Colorado Christian University (CCU). In my life there are many people and things that have inspired me. I love to bowl and what I love most about bowling is that in order for us to win we have to work as a team. We are four individuals, working towards one common goal to win the game and get the prize at the end. Even though I’m inspired by bowling there is one individual that inspired and still inspires me, that is my grandmother, Eva Mae Brownlee, she made a huge impact on my life. My grandmother was a very classy beautiful lady, she only had a 6th grade education but you would not know because she was able to hang with the PHDs. She raised

When I got the admission from MC college, I was living in different city, and one of my clause friend from Alabama told me a lot of bad things about people who work’s in MS college, and student and how they treat international student because he used to study here. I thought that will be a difficult time especially if you going to spend a long time with people who don’t like you.

Throughout my life I have always enjoyed writing and speaking to others. In high school I had many opportunities to speak to organizations in the surrounding community about volunteerism and 4-H. Having had this opportunity opened my eyes to the joy that I have for reaching out to others on matters I find important. I am currently an Agriculture Communications major with an Agriculture Business minor. My journey at Oklahoma State University has allowed for tremendous growth in many areas. I have broad knowledge of journalism, computer skills, public speaking, and many aspects in the agriculture industry. The past two years at Oklahoma State have fueled my dream for a career in public relations. Having the ability to reach out to consumers and

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point has been an element of my life for the better part of elevens years. Remembering visits to my cousin's apartment were sometimes the highlight of the month. When my brother made the decision to attend UW-Stevens Point I was thrilled because of memories I knew I would get to relive. These two people have been a major factor in my life because they are the first of my generation in the family to graduate from college. The hard work put in from these two has given me a better understanding of what it takes to get through higher. Many people go to college for the experience you will be able to get and not the academic advancement opportunities. This is exactly why my family members have succeeded in this

As of today I have had many involvements at FIU but without one special event I wouldn’t have been were I am today. Panther camp on August 17th through the 19th had been first involvement at FIU .It was a retreat-like experience that helped me find other ways of making friends that I had not known of. For example, having the availability to speak to whomever throughout the camp and not be shy or worried of judgment. I was able to leave knowing that my experience in Panther Camp about making friends could be around campus as well and in other places that I wish to create friends.

During my academic career at UCLA, I learned several skills that will enable me to thrive in the open position such as research skills. I have experience with Geographic Information Systems that allow me to analyze and produce valuable maps by using software like Quantum GIS. Furthermore, I had the privilege of volunteering for the California Pacific Neighborhood Immigration Clinic in a File Clerk role, where I learned valuable skills such as records management and community outreach skills. The immigration clinic works with the United Methodist Church and volunteer attorneys. The clinic helps low-income communities with immigration matters such as Legal Permanent Resident applications. I performed initial client screening, filed applications
