Personal Narrative: My Experience At MC University

I was a student attending Grand Canyon University. As you already know my grades do not reflect what I earned in high school, there are reasons why this occurred but to be honest they were things that should not have affected me. However, they did and it was the online courses, the failed attempt to communicate and understand what was needed of me from my student advisor, the study process, and my roommates. I was used to turning things in by hand not through the internet, the school did however sent us instructions by email but it was very difficult to use. There were many steps to turn in an essay or a worksheet and you had to sure that your laptop could open all of the documents. Sometimes my laptop would crash because I had so many documents on it that it couldn't handle it.

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

It is Sunday morning in Miami, but for me today is a new beginning where my independence start and I can use my time wisely. Therefore, I decided to travel to the beach, with the windows down having the wind run through my hair and having my favorite song "Independent Woman" play on the radio. The sound of the waves of the ocean it was incredible and peacefully, which reminds me of the feeling of comfort when I am sitting on Brandon. Another example why Brandon is important in my life, it is because, during high school, I spent plenty of time waiting for the bus to travel to work and home, and in today's day time is valuable. However, I lost time being incapable of buying me a car. Missing the bus plenty of times and having to count on my friend

In my last two years of highschool I duel enrolled St. Petersburg Community College, my local community college. In my senior year I decided to take online classes due to the very long drive to the nearest campus. I ended up taking Calculus with Analytic Geometry and two other classes online. My Calculus proffessor did not teach or provide any materiel to learn from other than the text book and homework questions. For the first quarter of the class I did well and completed all the assignments easily; however, the class got harder and the textbook no longer provided me with enough information to complete the assignments. I struggled through this part of the class and had a hard time mainting my grade which I wanted to keep as high as possible. After several trips to the campus for tutoring and spending hours trying to find other external resources I began to learn how to solve the problems and brought my grade back up and finally passed the class with an A.

Twenty-six years ago. I began the quest to find the perfect college. As I drove down the driveway of Bay Path College, I knew this was the college I was going to attend. I was drawn to the rural setting, the beautiful campus and the small academic community. My intent for life after high school was to get my associates degree, earn some money, then begin working toward my bachelor degree. In retrospect, I did not possess the confidence or drive needed to be a good student. I struggled for the next couple of years to earn my Associates degree, however was apprehensive to commit to the time or expense it would take to continue my education. After a very long break in schooling, I now approach education with a new mindset and ready to commit

During my visit to Arizona State University this summer, I was able to receive a unique tour of the campus thanks to current students, Claire and Maddie Grayson. The two sisters granted special access into some student-only buildings, and provided a great amount of information about the campus as well. Maddie, Claire, and Glenn Markov, a former ASU student and now current Stanford attendee, were also able to answer any questions that that I had regarding ASU.

When trying to even begin why the University of Pittsburgh is a good school for me, my mom had me help her make a pot roast. Peeling back the brown crispy layer of an onion, the second layer of white skin appeared. Epiphany struck me; The University of Pittsburgh is like an onion.

Throughout my journey at Montevallo High School, I have persevered through adversity in which strengthened my faith and mentality as a student athlete. The challenges I encountered made me more determined and focused, as I progress to the next chapter of my story, at Samford University.

I toured many Universities while searching for the perfect fit. I wanted an academic focused school, one with well know school spirit, and one where I felt like family. The University of Florida was the last school I toured. As soon as I walked under the Plaza of Americas and into the stadium I knew. I felt a sense of community and belonging. I felt like the University of Florida could be my home, and that was something I hadn’t felt at any other campus. It was an enthusiastic welcome, a welcome to the swamp, and a welcome to the gator nation. The University of Florida has become my home away from home.

Curiosity is what brings me to the University of Michigan. All the sweat and determination and hard work, I have put in all my life will pay off when I get into the school of my dreams. The countless of hours and stress I put myself in will pay off when my job is something I love. My drive is what distinguishes me from everyone else. I have one goal, to have a career I love doing. All along that has been my drive. The only thing is, my goal was too broad. This is because I personally believe it’s hard to make a decision now about what I want my life to be, when this is the time where were barely trying to figure ourselves out. So aside from my goal, my drive was to get good grades, to have the best attendance, to be the best in my class.

Since the day I first talked with Josh D’Amico, I felt glad that finally, I have found the place where I always wanted to be. I had always dreamed for a small school with an outstanding faculty and tons of opportunity to explore and learn, and finally I am happy that my dream is going to be true. I find Mount Mercy as a perfect fit for me.

Obviously, there are many students out there who are very deserving of being accepted into Loyola University Chicago. To be honest, I am probably very similar to them with academics, extracurriculars, and all other good stuff that high schoolers do. However, I do know for a fact that I truly do belong at LUC. Looking at the different missions and values that this university stands for is quite inspiring, as I strive for the same for myself and the future. I used to be very close-minded and selfish, but when I started freshman year at a new high school, everything changed. I did not have much other than my academics and family, so I was like a recluse. I only went out for school, but when I got involved in a local service group called the International

Visiting over fifteen schools, I was told repeatedly that the “right” place would reveal itself. Ostensibly a bit whimsical, they were correct and the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan is that place.

Fancy cars, fancy baggages, rich kids getting dropped off at the main entrance at Brown University.The majority of the students were from rich backgrounds, their parents had paid for their attendance at Summer@Brown, but I was the only one with a scholarship. Instantly, my mind filled up with doubts about what I was doing in a place where I felt less than others, the inferiority I felt when I saw everyone with their luxurious belongings got me to think that I was not worth enough to even attend my program. Many in my shoes will feel the same as me; inferior in a place where the outcasts are people with a low-income or latinos, but few people will realize that by breaking the barrier between the rich and the poor will open up to new experiences

I have known about the existence of the University of Houston since 4th grade in elementary. I never thought that would be the school I will be attending after high school, on the other hand I refused to go to University of Houston because I have visited the campus several number of times. My junior year of high school I was expected to research and create an excel spread sheet to separate my safety, target, and reach schools. When I decided to research the University of Houston I was impressed with what I had found, information that I didn’t know about. University of Houston is considered to be a Tier 1 university, it’s ranked on the top 100 best schools according to US news and it is close to home, which means I save up money that I would
