Personal Narrative: My Experience As A Student At Texas A & M University

My first semester here at Kent State is coming to a close. It has been such a journey from the moment I stepped on campus all the way to now. Time has gone by so quickly. From new student orientation, practicals, midterms, thanksgiving break, and now finals. Now pausing for a moment, to appreciate everything that has happened this semester. It is honestly hard to put into words. The combination of class I took, the experiences I went through, the people I got to meet, and this whole new environment. College is not what I expected. It is so hard to explain it until you have experienced. This semester has opened me up to a whole new world of perspectives. I have gone out of my comfort zone completely. Pushing myself into awkward situations and

My history with Florida A & M University started before I was born. Looking back from day one, my family specifically my mom, cousin and aunts instilled in me what was the definition of a true Rattler. Some have defined a true Rattler as a go getter who stops at nothing to accomplish their goal. Some have defined a true Rattler as a well spoken and confident student attending FAMU. Others, simply would define a true Rattler as a student who has fallen on the hill going to class. Considering these definitions and countless others, I possess the solid qualities for attending Florida A & M University and becoming a true Rattler.

When I think about what I could contribute to Florida A&M University based on the knowledge that I do have with your institution is that i’m a extremely committed student who has beliefs that you can do anything that you set your mind to. There may be some times when I may feel discouraged but why must if I feel like that if things aren’t easily handed to you. You must chase your dreams, and when you do that things will slowly fall into place (not exactly how you planned for it to be at times). I learned that through the many obstacles I had to experience to make me the well informed women I am today. The best activity, interest, experience, and achievement in my life was being a Big member of “Big brother, big sister”. Becoming a mentor for

Growing up with high expectations my mind has always been set on the idea of college. However when thinking of the “right” college for my future, I never knew If I would be able to fully commit and choose which one was best for me. I wanted something that would be comfortable for me that also meets my criteria that would make the college transition a bit easier. Since I’m going into something new, my decision would end up being based on the class sizes, the costs being affordable, the majors and degrees available for Nursing, and the location and how close it is to my family. It was a hard decision however one school had it all, which is why I’ve decided to further this chapter of my life at West Texas A&M University.

In my life, I have had to make made many difficult choices, each with their own consequences, but the most significant choice I made occurred three years ago; I decided to leave my home state of Maine, and enroll in Texas A&M University. This decision has had a major impact on my life, and continues to influence my life today for better and for worse. I've grown to be more independent, but as the same time my debt increases every semester.

After entering VCU, I faced a lot of challenges that changed my life. As a student, I was able to think critically and write even more academically than before. My experience as a student in VCU broad my visions and narrowed my thinking regarding a particular idea.

As summer concluded the new school year approached, senior year. Not only was this year going to be full of surprises, but also stress about college planning and admission. Having moved to three different high schools I was excited to finally settle at Coppell and graduate in Texas. Even though this location was new to me I was satisfied with how well I fit in. I then decided to apply to schools around Dallas. The University of Dallas offers not only the class-size I was looking for the but also the academic standards and location I was hoping for. The university is very close to my home town as both are located in Irving. Having moved around to multiple schools within my educational career attending a local college would be essential to

I am Efrashia Nicole Crespin and I was raised here in Las Cruces, New Mexico. I had recently moved to Hobbs, New Mexico and came back to finish my high school career and start at New Mexico State University the following semester. I am majoring in the school of Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management as for short we call it HRTM. I have received numerous scholarships from the university in pursing in bachelors here at New Mexico State. I am grateful for the opportunities the school as offered to me coming from a very low income family.

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

I am currently enrolled in the Middle Level Grades 4-8 online teaching program and I feel comfortable with the online class format. Even though I am approaching my final semester with Stephen F. Austin State University, I do still feel nervous that I might miss an assignment or a due date. I find being disciplined and organized helps in my success with my online classes and the text and email reminders through D2L are extremely helpful in keeping up with due dates for assignments and quizzes. I also like receiving my grades quickly and that I am able to easily contact my professors and receive prompt responses. Utilizing the online program through SFA has made it more convenient for me to complete my bachelor’s degree while working and taking

The journey to becoming a student at Jones Technical Institute started a long time ago. I was academically expelled from Ball State University after my freshmen year. College was an undertaking I should have never tried simply because I was not mature enough to handle that kind of responsibility. It is not like I drank and partied all the time, I simply just did not go to class. For the rest of 2007, I was searching for work. I sent applications into every temporary agency in the City, and felt like I applied to every job opening there was, but sadly I never heard anything back. That failure to find a job led to one of the most exciting experiences of my life.

Since I got to Texas State University, I have had a lot of busy weekends because I play for the tennis team and we travel a lot. The first tournament we played was here in our tennis complex, and it was a great experience. We played against St Edwards University, and although there were difficult matches and it was very hot, our team got the win.

Imagine having a relax evening and walking around to explore College Campus with your classmate and professor. Do you like to enroll in one of this classes? I definitely likes it because I can spend times with my classmate and my professor's which can bring our relation more closer. Most professors are intelligence

Since I have moved to Miami at the age of 17, I really fall in love with this place completely. In order to understand and integrate into American life quickly, I decide to attend Miami Dade College. However, I am also the first generation college student in my family, there are invisible pressures on my mind. Throughout my college life, I obtained many invaluable leadership knowledge and society experiences from Student Life. Also, the school of business department have been proved many opportunities for business students, I used to join the accounting workshop in campus, the one of useful point was I could easy to review what I learned in class and learned some new knowledges. I would like to say my two years college prepares myself for university

As Senior year gets closer and closer to the end college is the next to approach. I have already applied to colleges after considering the many options and narrowing down my search. When it came to college I never really thought about not going. It has never really been an option because I wanted to go and my parents did too. When applying for college came up I did have a bump in the road because of money. I was given a choice to do what I wanted; to pick where I wanted to go, but I wasn’t as ready as I thought. While I was looking through colleges there were a lot of majors and minors I had never thought about. I knew I wanted to go to a four-year college, but where? After long talks with my counselor I finally settle for about seven school;
