Personal Narrative: My Experience At Bradley University

I have moved to five different states throughout my life. The first few moves were easy because I was younger, but as I got older it became more and more difficult to say goodbye to friends and everything I knew. The most difficult move I experienced was right before my freshman year of high school. I had lived in Utah for seven years and I did not want to move to Idaho right before I started high school. I have never gone to Rexburg before we moved there. It is a smaller town with many people who have lived in Rexburg for most of their life. It was hard to fit in at school and become friends with people who had known each other their entire life. Finally after making the effort to meet many new people I felt like I fit in. I realize that students

East Carolina University is and has always been a dream school for many students including myself. I have grown up hearing about the University and it is nothing short of spectacular. Many family members of mine have attended East Carolina, and I have always pictured myself at this school. It would be an honor to be a pirate. Throughout high school I have struggled in Science and Math. I know I could have done better in high school but in life you can always do something better, im eager to push myself more and work harder than ever to succeed as an adult, if given the chance There are many times when I should I have put school in front of my extra curricular activities such as dancing, art, work, tennis, and swimming. However, all of those

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

Before coming to James Madison University I had no clue what I wanted to get involved in. Whether it was a club sport, business related group, or a social fraternity I just wanted to be apart of something that was bigger than myself. At the beginning of the school year I looked into tryouts for club baseball, the Madison Investment Fund and rush schedules for fraternities on campus. I quickly found out that club baseball wasn’t for me, at least for my freshman year. I then asked around about MIF and got the sense that you needed a very heavy Economics background and that it was very challenging to be accepted as a freshman. MIF is something I hope to get involved in next fall. In the back of my head I always knew that a social fraternity was what

1. What experience do you like talking about the most? What has been the most interesting, intriguing, and exciting part of your life- why, and what did you learn from it?

Although it's really far from home my Aunt Tonya lives in Illinois and I could stay with her while going to school. Staying with her would make me feel more at home than living in a dorm room would. Missouri State is five hours away from my hometown and I don’t know anyone that is going there. Therefore, I would have to stay with someone I don’t know and I am not comfortable with that. St. Louis University is only one hour away from my home so I could stay at home and drive back and forth.

The saying goes “if you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it is yours forever. If it doesn't, then it never was yours at all.” This past fall semester I had to set myself free from the one place I loved to be the most and that was Millersville University. Millersville has been a place that I can whole heartedly call home. From the view of Miller and S’ville at the pond to walking through the SMC to being welcomed by all who see you on campus. I even loved my classes for I had professors who put everything into their teaching and wanted the best for their students. I had to give it all away this past semester and it hurt me so bad.

Wilmington started out as home, then became just a vacation. After years of moving and resisting the pull to move back, I finally made the best and brightest decision I think I have ever made. I am moving home, and in the process, I thought there would be no better place to further my education than The University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I have recently taken a year off in between high school and pursuing my college education, and frankly, I think it has been one of the most humbling experiences of my life. I have learned to appreciate everything that was taught by my parents and the schooling I have received. In that year I took part in America's workforce constantly facing the struggles of being independent and caring for myself,

By the end of last summer I had everything packed and I was ready to go. I completed the checklist and reviewed it once more. School supplies, check; bedding, check; clothes, check; refrigerator, check; TV, check; food, check; etc. Finally, I was able to gain independence from my parents and everything else I had left behind at home. Early in the morning of late August 2014, I was off to college. I believed that SUNY Oswego was the best fit for me both education and socially wise. SUNY Oswego is known for its windy and cloudy climate since it sits right on Lake Ontario and is known for its Business Program.

Through my experiences and achievements at California Baptist University, I can gain an academic advantage over my peers attending other schools. The amount of programs and majors offered at CBU will help me develop as an educated and experienced woman with a strong educational background at CBU. With the help of CBU, I can grow into my full potential and maintain a great headstart in entering the real world with a strong mentality of maturity. I have always maintained upstanding grades and high GPA in high school, and my attendance at CBU will merely continue my pattern of success.

My study at Howard Community College has helped me pick out a major that I know I will love pursuing for the rest of my life. HCC was a great way for me to learn the introductions to pertaining to my major. Although HCC was a considerable start, it had limited programs and resources that could have guided me in the long run.

Although many schools claim to be the best, the University of Michigan truly holds this spot in my eyes. When talking to people about it, they always comment on how cold it is, and they wonder why people would ever want to live there. My answer is simple; I was born in Michigan and love everything about it. From the bitter cold, to the prestigious colleges, I take pride in being born here. When I researched great law schools and found one located in Michigan, my attention was immediately

Being in college you have multiple opportunities to grow and learn in a variety of ways. One experience to grow from is on-campus housing. With on-campus housing comes random roommates that you will share space and personal belongings with. I’m a senior and have lived on-campus all four years and all four years I have had different roommates. This year I live with one friend and two other random roommates. Throughout the year my friend and me have had multiple situations where we do not agree on the problem at hand with our other two roommates.

When attending a college away from home, the dorm is not the only option. There is always the option of renting an apartment or house within a reasonable distance from campus. This option provides students with the luxury of having their own place and living with their friends. Renting off campus can provide students more space for their things, and also the privacy of having their own room. Students are more than likely renting with friends who they get along with well, and can enjoy spending their college years with. There are some downfalls though, like what if one of the roommates can not afford their share of the

When I finished high school; I didn’t expect that I would be studying in such a big, crowded, and strong university such as the UA. The only thing I wanted when attending the university is to live close by the campus. Because, I didn’t want to spend everyday riding buses and waiting buses that would make me get bored from school so fast. After I got accepted at the UA, I started to look for apartments near campus. I got happy when I saw that there are dorms near campus. After that, I leased and apartment before I got to Akron. When I arrived to Akron, I singed the lease and took my keys to see my new apartment. I was so pleased to lived in a place that is near to my school.
