Personal Narrative: My College Bound Student Career Choice

Throughout high school, I pretty much knew what I wanted to do after high school. I moderately did everything I needed to in high school through the years to know what classes I needed to take and what I need to know to do what I wanna do. In the beginning of my freshman year, I was still deciding what I want to be when I grow up and what would be interesting to take in high school so my dad and I was looking through the different classes they offer. While looking I saw they have biomedical science classes and I thought that was really interesting so I took it. In while being in that class, I payed attention, like it was really hard, until now I was still learning everything and it seems interesting. I took all the notes and did the labs they

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.

I have been an Administrative Assistant for over 30 years, since I graduated with an Associates in Secretarial Science – this was a blessings to be hired in my field of study. However, when I relocated to Florida it took me an entire year to be hired as an Administrative Assistant and though it took such a long time, it was worth the wait. I went straight to being the assistant to the second in charge of the company. However, after two satisfying years of service there, I was let go, and though I did not understand the reason, I did not question God. You see, I knew that if God allowed this to happen, then I though He must have something better in mind for me. Fortunately for me, during the year I was waiting to be employed, I took a course and was successful in receiving a license to be a Certified Nurse Assistant. That

The droplets of rain emerge from the towering clouds as I step onto the vibrant green grass for the first time. I lock eyes with the monstrous building and tilt my head back until I have reached the roof. There I was. A stick-like, puny, first year college student looking at my home for the next four years. Yet I can't manage to take a second step. I stand there, staring at the giant brick block and lift my classic yellow rain jacket hood up over my impressively soft chocolate hair, protecting it from the harm of the rain. Four years of Ireland weather lays ahead of me. Four years of bunk beds in dorms. Four years of competing for the number one student. For years of awkward parties and tests. Four years until I'm out.

I figured out my calling when I started college. I entered as a biology major because I found it interesting. I also got accepted into the science honor program. Through the science honor program, I realized that I shouldn’t go into biology, I would be better in physics and engineering. Thinking back to that transition from biology to physics, I realized how well God planned this. I went to Houghton because it has a good biology program and because I could be in the science honor program. If I started with the interest in physics, I would ended up in RIT and I wouldn’t have the same experience. But I know God wants me to be in engineering because he keep pointing it out to me. Now I know what my next step into master for engineering, but why would God want me to be an engineering.

In August of 2015, I started the next chapter of my life at Rogers State University in Claremore, Oklahoma. I heard numerous personal testimonies of what college is like and how I will have loads of homework. From these stories and personal testimonies, I decided that college was going to be extremely scary and brutally difficult. As my senior year in high school began, I had no plans of where I was going to go to college and how I was going to pay for it either. As my senior year went along, everything concerning my future plans at college played out the right way. I was accepted into the Honors Program at Rogers State University and the program paid for my education. Reflecting back on the thoughts I had about the college experience

Since I was so young I was worried that I wasn’t ready to take on such a big challenge, but graduating early was the better of the two choices I have ever made. I had to decide on this my sophomore year, which at age fifteen wasn’t an ideal choice to make at the time. There were many considerations I had to contemplate about: my high school career in basketball, college, and leaving my friends.

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

In my final exams, I was sick, but didn’t want to go to the hospital because I knew that I would stay there for a while. This reason didn’t encourage me to go to the hospital. On the morning of my chemistry exam, I felt so sick, and I couldn’t get out of bed to perform my exam. I had an F in it, but I was in the hospital worrying about my health and recovery. For a moment, it didn’t matter much, but then I realized that I had thrown away my future. I knew that I wont enter college right after high school. I was depressed for a couple of days, but I eventually got over it. I’m the one who did this to myself, I didn’t go to the hospital, and now I’m the one who is responsible for what happened to me. This action showed me that I’m the one who is responsible about my decisions and no one else. I entered the American University of Kuwait in the second semester. Now, my major is electrical engineering and thank God I’m happy for what I have done.

In 2010, one year after graduating high school I lost my father to heart disease. It was a very devastating time for me and one that created a huge ripple effect upon my life. In Early 2012 I was accepted into West Chester University. This was a very happy moment in my life. Unfortunately, as time went on the reality of my life greatly affected me. I fell into a great depression and became careless about how things would affect me. After being at West Chester for one semester I made the decision to drop out because I was unable to handle work, school, and family obligations at the same time. After a few years of regret and self-improvement I made the decision to apply to West Chester again in hopes that I would be given another chance to complete my degree.

At this point of college, I will start getting into my more difficult, degree focused classes. I no longer have general education courses I can use to stall the time in which I had to make a decision for my major. Now with less than a semester to make a decision, I have concluded that I truly do not know what to do. I have found that I have made selfish decisions and approach my career without a God guided life. I sit now waiting for answers to my prayers, hoping that God will guide me in the direction he wants me to go.

One of my Air Force supervisors expressed the importance of completing an Associate’s Degree in order to progress in the ranks. Nick was a senior in high school and there was a bit of balancing to do; but I completed the three courses needed for the Community College of the Air Force. The short semesters at CCU were the selling point for me when I originally enrolled. My goal back then was solely focused on completing the three required courses for the College of the Air Force. However, there was something tugging at my heart that kept me longing for more at CCU. I was ready to begin a stronger walk with God. Questions were being answered that I needed in my life. I found myself becoming more familiar with the Bible. There was a time I would introduce myself as someone unfamiliar with God but as I took more classes, I understood, I was young in my Christian walk and I was ready to become closer to Him. I enjoyed opening in prayer and the requirement of completing Biblical courses. Time has passed since my first class at CCU back in 2008. Due to sporadic short work related travel out of the state and a transition from active duty to reserve, I have not been on track with

In a nut shell, if you have graduated, and you cannot find employment, you must pray that God gives you a desire of Him more than those things you want for yourself. That old trickster, Satan, wants to make you believe you that since you are not working; your time should be spent trying to find a job. Let me share a secret: God knows where you are right now, and He knows that you are unemployed (“God ... knoweth all things,” 1 John

I am not perfect, I struggle with figuring out ways to study and how to write the 'perfect' essays. I do however always improve; each semester I become a little better. I am nowhere near the best but I always strive to do my best in everything I try. Figuring out where I wanted to attend college was a difficult decision. I struggled all senior year and in the end was not happy with any of my choices. So I choose to stay close to home and attend a community college and do some soul searching. I have spent my time at Austin Community College, figuring out what I want and I came to this, I want to attend Baylor. I realized that the one quality that all my other schools had been missing was God.

My biggest motivation to become a Columbia Souther University student was the birth of my child. I what best for her, like every good parent. After some research in the internet, I found out that Human Resources Manager is highly paid profession. And because I already have a degree in this specialization from my International University , the CSU transfer half of my credits, that would help me to complete the school sooner. Taking this classes will help me to succeed in my future career. I look forward to learn about all laws and regulations of Human Resources, how to be a leader and a good manager, be more socialize. And also it will help me a lot with my English, that I will feel more confidant in myself
