Personal Narrative: My Experience At Southwest Oregon Community College

During my second semester at Southwest Mississippi Community College, I had finally gotten comfortable at the school: I had made friends, and I was doing well in all of my classes. Well, all except for college algebra. I have never been good at algebra; this class was no exception. I tried my very best to understand the material, but my mind just could not comprehend much of the material that we covered in class. Because of my own inability to understand the material, I never finished any of my homework, and I did not do well on any of the tests that I had taken. I had later come to realize that my inability to understand the material was not the fault of anyone but myself.

My freshman year at Community College of Philadelphia was interesting and a great learning experience. Being a criminal justice major we have requirements that is needed to be completed. I tried to take the easy way out and it backfired on me. I took SOC 101 online and the professor taught me a lesson of tough love. He failed me and told me “come back when you’re serious.” I was embarrassed and disappointment in myself. Since that day I took college seriously and every experience been good.

During my time at Fullerton College, I have come to realize that every student has their own unique way to achieve their goals, whether it is to cram down tons of information before the day of the exam, highlight each section in their textbook, or receive support from the tutoring center. These tips are useful to most students, but for me I have come to learn that I have the capacity to learn two ways: reading the material until I have a eureka moment, or work the problem step by step until each component makes sense to me. Unfortunately, for me to have acquired this, I had to learn from trial and error, each course I would try something new and see if I could keep applying the same method for upcoming courses. Some would work, and others would

Since this is my first year at Pasadena City College and my first online class it is every interesting the types of questions that we had to responds to during the course. The reason that it appeals to me is that I get to reread about other peoples point of view and find out different many for questions. From the response I learn new ways of looking at question and new way to apply myself when answer then as well. There is room for improvement because every single discussion I only answer on Sunday when I initially have to answer them on Thursdays so i can still improve on that aspect. This was a great opportunity because I got the chance to speak to new people and maybe I was able to struck a new friendship with someone which was all worth

Throughout this summer there are Thousands of students all trying to take the next step in moving on after high school. I have already come to a decision that i will like to apply to California baptist university. I know I want to go to s school which will educate me intellectually and spiritually. throughout my college experience at Cal Baptist University I hope to experience a close-knit community that is uplifting and supportive. i know there is always a bigger picture: If I invest these next few years in a Christian education, I will come out better equipped to witness to others as-well as educate/help them.I hope to grow and mature as women and follow what god has in-store fo me.As a hopeful freshman student at Cal Baptist,I attend to

I was in my junior year of High school in a new school and country. I had just moved from Jamaica about 4 months ago and still trying to adjust to my new environment. There was a stark contrast between Jamaica and The USA: socially and academically. In Jamaica, high school lasted from grades seven through eleven and included Pre-University which was grades twelve and thirteen In grades 10-11 the number of subjects I did per day decreased from seventeen to eight and the workload for each subject increased drastically in preparation for a test at the end of grade 11 called CSEC. On the other hand in America, high school only lasted for grades 9-12, I only had to do 4 subjects per week, and there was no such thing as CSEC. Jamaica also had a terrible economy and even a college graduate had a hard time finding a job.

Coming from a relatively small high school, I wanted to go to a moderately sized college that retained an atmosphere of school pride. At Washington College, I’ll be in a supportive environment where I can take advantage of various opportunities to gain experience and become actively involved.

It seems to me that the world is changing. Technology is reaching new heights, culture had accelerated its pace, and most of all society itself is on the verge of something new. In what direction, this is all headed, I cannot say. What I do know is that it is not terrible as some might claim. What I do know is that that the world is getting more connected, opinions are traveling through space in less than a second, some good, some bad, some crazy and some painfully true. We live in a magnificent era, that is as breathtaking as it is polarizing. This new world I believe requires a new way of thinking, of learning, and that is what I have come to the Evergreen State College to attain.

In conclusion I have gone through a lot in my first 18 years on this earth. I have done many things that will help to form the person I will become. My life started in Alaska were things appeared to be perfect. However life changed a lot when my family moved to Indiana. The trip played a huge role in my passion to be a missionary. I developed relationships that have pushed me from Luke warm to on fire for the Lord. Zac Hess pushed me by showing me that I was Luke warm. Drew Nevien took me from the realization of being Luke warm, to stating to make changes to counter it. I was shown what love is from two girls named Katlyn, one a past girlfriend and the other a niece. I was given talents that push me to place friends in my life that honor God,

Working so hard is not the only method to succeed in college, but there are other matters we need to have to become successful. I remember my first mathematics class at America River College; I did not know any of the students in that class, so I had to study alone. I used to work too hard, and I spent hours studying and doing homework. I had a lot of subjects that I did not understand, and I had no one to explain it to me. I ended that mathematics class which it was pre-calculus with a B-. The previous semester I took calculus, it was a difficult class, but I did not have a hard time studying for it because some students and I in that class made a study group. Having a study group helped me a

I am not your typical college student, because my journey to Salem State University has been full of challenges and personal setbacks. While every student has their own personal “demons”, I have face battles that most students will never come across in their lifetimes. I have taken a year off college to deal with financial situations and personal family issues to gather my inner thoughts. Moreover, I have been to three colleges that have taught me huge amount of information, each college has their own set of unique individuals. Some colleges had no resources and others exceed in this category. The students I have met are define by their socioeconomic backgrounds, however those who broke the social norm are the most relatable ones to me. As

As a senior in high school, my counselors have always told me that if I had an opportunity to achieve greater things I would take it. By doing so, being admitted at Texas A&M University will expand my horizons and allow me to come in contact with challenging obstacles that can benefit my knowledge as well as my ability to complete tasks at hand. The journey I would experience as an Aggie would be an unforgettable one. I have begun a new chapter in my life to carry my own responsibilities and that was by deciding my major and beginning my classes that were needed to be complete. The role of being a college student is to commit. Commit to your time management, commit to your studies, and commit to give pride in your school. These three roles

On Saturday, November 12th, I went to a Northern Iowa basketball game with my friend. This was my first athletic event that I attended on campus. I was very excited to see how the atmosphere was like at the McLeod Center. The Panthers were playing Coe College from Cedar Rapids. There was not a lot of students there, so my friend and I were able to get good seats for the game.

The sun blazing down from a cloudless sky and the humidity made the heat waves feel like I was sitting inside a microwave while in the parking lot of Grossmont College. My body shaky as many thoughts bounced around; I gathered my sloppy notebook to interview a woman who had made her way from just being known as a professor to becoming someone I called an inspiration. I zipped up the ramp and around the corner to the Administration of Justice office where I knew she was promptly waiting for me to arrive. My clammy hand gripped the doorknob, I took one last hesitant breath and made my way inside to see Tina smiling with delight at the sight of me. Her brown wild curly hair blocked many of her plaques and achievements she earned in the San Diego forensic science community. She stood from her messy desk and embraced me with a strong hug; she smelled of confidence I soon hoped to learn from her. Tina swung out her arm to guide me into a chair directly in front of the cluttered desk so that we could make eye contact as we conversed.

The first time I met my boyfriend was the first day I came to centennial college to take my test. When I arrive at the classroom, no one was there, so I decided to buy a cup of coffee. When I came back from the cafeteria, there was no room for sitting on the sofa which is in front of the classroom's door, so I have to sit on the other one which is a little far from the door. After I sat down, a guy holding a cup of coffee came over. I can still remember that he was choked somehow and started to cough after he drunk the coffee in front of me! Honestly, I was shocked, but too shy to ask whether he is fine or not since it had a poor English. Fortunately, he was fine after about one minute. Maybe, he was also too shy to keep walking because his
