Personal Narrative: My Dual Enrolled At Macomb Community College

Returning to college, after graduating high school twenty-five years earlier, proved to be not only rewarding quite challenging as well. Viewing myself as a self-starter with extensive investigative skills I truly believed college path mapped out correctly, so I never met with an advisor, what a colossal mistake! I had self-scheduled all my courses and although I faced a few obstacles I was finally at the end. After completion of all my pre-requisites I applied to the LPN-RN Fast Track Program, little did I know my past would stop me dead in my tracks.

High school students who are dual enrolled feel they should receive free college credits while enrolled in high school. Being a dual enrolled student in high school is a privilege.in the early 1900’s students did not have to opportunity to take collage curses while in high school. Dual enrollment was implemented to help students succeed faster and increase the rate of people that attend and graduate collage. Therefore, giving out free grades would impact society in a negative way. If the students were not able to receive free credits in classes it would teach them maturity, responsibility, and would get them ready for the real world. Giving out free grades would decrease the opportunity for the students due to them not learning the materials

I am enrolled in the Commonwealth Governor's School. It is a rigorous academic program for highly gifted and motivated students. The program, which spans all four years of high school, is designed to challenge students in the four core subjects. Students in the program are required to take the most academically challenging courses available at their school, including a total of eleven Advanced Placement courses and one Dual Enrollment class. The program also requires its students to create two independent research projects called culminating projects. The goal of these projects is to teach students about how to conduct scholarly research, write literature reviews, create original products, correspond with experts, and present their findings.

I started to work as a waitress at very young age. I stopped receiving education because my grades at school were not good and studying seemed to be boring. Working in my twenties appeared to be more adventurous and full of promises. As the time passed by, my routine at work turned out to be a nuisance. I was feeling empty inside without knowing the reason. As my level of expertise in the catering business was growing, the idea of starting up a restaurant on my own was beginning to take shape. I believed to know how to handle a business but I was missing all the technicalities. Getting back to school was a good alternative though I did not feel ready.

After I graduate from Community College of Philadelphia, I plan to attend a four-year university. I want to receive my bachelor’s degree in accounting. I have a few schools to choose from. The school I am going to transfer to is Temple University. I am choosing Temple because it is close to home, it has a good accounting program, and to continue a legacy.

Ever since I was a kid I have always thought about what college I was eventually going to go to. I made the decision in high school that I wanted to be a special education teacher, so I thought about some schools that had that teaching program. My number one school I wanted to attend that had the best teaching program was East Carolina University. Having ECU as my number one choice lead me to apply there. Weeks after I applied I got a letter telling me some sad news that I was not accepted. Since I applied to ECU and did not get in, I was now thinking about applying to other schools like Methodist University or maybe a community college.

Entering community college with little programming experience, I was eager to learn. I registered for my first programming class excited, with a fresh mind. My professor introduced the class to our first program, "Hello World." Instantly, I was hooked. As I uncovered the complexities of problem-solving and the importance of proper syntax, my love grew stronger. Eventually, with experience in C++ and JAVA, another professor presented a life changing opportunity to me.

After recently graduating from Fullerton College with two associate degrees in psychology, I could have not accomplished this goal all by myself without the proper guidance that I received from EOPS and FYSI at the time. These programs were established to support former foster youth at Fullerton College in their education as long as they met all the conditions for each semester. As a result, this was valuable for me during my time as a community college student, allowing me to guarantee that I would finish all my requirements on time to transfer to a good university, and becoming more involved with the campus each semester. That being said, this is one of the main reasons as to why I am applying to your program, so I could receive the support

If I have to sum Baker College up in just one word, it would be "AMAZING"! I am what is considered a non-traditional student, meaning, someone who, for whatever reason, graduated from high school, got a job, worked for a while and is just now returning to college. I had wanted to go back to school for quite some time, but the timing never seemed right, until just recently. I lost my job in October 2016, after months of searching with nothing to show for it, I inquired at Baker College. When you think of inquiring about information for college, you think high pressure sales, people pushing you to sell, trying to get/push you into something, when you are really just looking. That's what I thought at least, until I met with my Admissions

While Anne Arundel Community College is one of the most accredited community colleges in Maryland, I aspire to fulfill my academic needs elsewhere.  The main reason I had to enroll at AACC was because I was diagnosed with brain cancer in February of 2016, this forced me to stay near Johns Hopkins Hospital to receive treatment. As fall approached my treatments became frequent and daunting. Never mind the fact that I was missing class that I was on the verge of failing, I felt depressed. Being a community college, AACC cannot provide me with an adequate college experience. Here I can't cheer on the football team or spend late nights in the library studying. As I see my peers living it up and making a name for themselves at their respected colleges, I feel

I am a full time Dual Enrollment student from North Fort Myers high school. I enrolled in Florida Southwestern State College to earn college credits towards my Associates in Arts (AA) degree in General Studies. This opportunity is amazing, and I am grateful for it, as I can further my education more so here than I ever could in high school. I also get to attend all my classes free of charge, allowing me to get a head start on college and avoid some debt along the way. I have always wanted to attend college and have been working hard in school ever since to be where I am today.

This community college is where I began my educational expedition. It provided the fundamentals and course work I needed to grasp the concept of education. The school program much more than on campus and off campus enrichments, they offered my first online courses that open my mind to new possibilities to learn. The elated and engaged program brought to light a magnificent way of learning. It was astonishing to be able to take classes at home in addition to school. Furthermore, the completion of the program successfully aided as I continued to a university with the skills and knowledge to be successful through hard work and determination.

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.
