Personal Narrative: My Experience At Youngstown State University

I felt anxious about attending RU. Now that I have been here a week I am feeling motivated. Living close to campus gives me the ability to be completely immersed in the college lifestle, therefore, allowing me to have the chance to join various clubs and the chance to use the many resources that will advance my academic career. Being able to join a club here at Rutgers will help me be able to feel like a Rutgers student. The amount of opportunities this school has is endless, and I plan on taking full advantage of such benefits.

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

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,

In the fall of 2005, I took my first steps onto the campus of Appalachian State University with my sister who was entering as a freshman. One of my most vivid memories from my childhood is walking hand in hand with my then eighteen year old, wide eyed, and prospective sister into the Watauga dorms. Afterwards, as we left down King Street, I distinctly remember gazing back towards the magnificent North Carolina mountains and yearning to stay. Even at the age of five, I knew that one day I would follow in her footsteps and become an Appalachian Mountaineer.

I stood in front of my vanity mirror as I did every morning, a bad but an ineluctable habit of mine. I traced my scar from my eyebrow to my cheekbone with my finger. I suppose most people see scars as a sign of survivor, but all I ever saw was my weakness. I don’t mean to be querulous, I was grateful to be alive, I just seemed to constantly be reminded of my mistakes. I shook my head, wishing I could pinion myself so I could stop obsessing over it. As I was leaving that morning, my cocker spaniel sat like a portier at the front door, his big brown eyes pleading me to stay. I felt bad for having to leave him, so I went to go give him a treat. He knew what was happening as soon as I started walking towards the kitchen and started to jump around

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.

Time here at Bridgewater has flown by the past four years and it is crazy to think that in five short months I will be graduating. My time here at Bridgewater College has been the best four years of my life but also some of the most difficult. I never forget the memories I have made here through soccer, Cru, and all of my classes. Bridgewater has helped me get closer to achieving my goals of being a physical therapist and becoming a more well-rounded person. I have grown tremendously in my faith because of adversities in school and also through Cru. The Bridgewater community will always be one of my favorites because of the way you grow closer with so many students. I fell more prepared to face the real world and grad school because of how

There are two main goals that I would like to achieve by the end of my first semester of college at Youngstown State University. First, I would like pass all of my courses with at least a B. Second, I need to realize that I am paying for this expensive college education so I need to go to class regularly and be prepared to learn. These are my two personal goals that I wish to achieve by the end of my first semester of college at Youngstown State University.

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

Beginning my post-secondary education at Frostburg University, I was looking for an institution that would be able to satisfy my interests and hobbies. All throughout my educational career, I have always been interested in computer science, coding, and networking with different jobs in business and management. Living close to College Park, it was always an idea to attend a school that would be able to branch out to my interest. Coming out of high school, I was at a disadvantage— my time management skills were strong, but not where they should have been. I lacked the discipline needed to excel in computer science, but I was luckily set around the right people to guide me in the right direction. my close friends were able to introduced me to

The college I chose for my visit is Arizona State University. When I first walked in with my dad, we were greeted by the tour guides and given folders. The folders had pages of information about ASU and the students that go there. There was an information session before the tour, so we took our seats in the lecture hall. An ASU graduate named Nyesha was the speaker at the informations session. She graduated in 2013 and now works as a tour guide. She gave us some information about the atmosphere of the school, like small class sizes, which I liked. After Nyesha Spoke, a student named Mia came into the room to tell us about her experience at ASU. She just finished her freshman year there, and she is studying microbiology. She is also apart

I am from a small town called Boring, Oregon. However, I have lived in five states since then. My most recent home is Arlington, Virginia. I am an Elementary Education Major. I was homeschooled until college and studied at NOVA community college for one year prior to starting at Concordia. Along with SCI 110, I am taking Art 121, EDU 199, LDR 198, MTH 133 and REL 221. Five years after college I would like to be finished with my master's degree and working full time as a 1st or 2nd-grade teacher. What makes me special is that I have moved every two years since I turned eight, that I have four older brothers, that I have been to 48 of the 50 US States. The people I grew up with and the sites I have seen

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.

As most journeys begin, it all started with the arrival to Vincennes University. The morning was sadly not bright and sunny, but rather bitter and stormy. It was definitely not one that aroused happy thoughts when it comes to traveling, but still Ben Davis University scholars boarded the charter buses. Patience was a virtue in which we all lacked. We all arrived by 10:45 on June 10th, but still only began moving around 11. We groggily moved towards the buses, dragging around our luggage that would somehow enable us to live and survive during our 1 week stay.

While attending Stetson University, I was a broke college student. Most students were able to find a part time job very easily, but I had to find a job that would allow for me to not miss any of the extra-curricular activities that were mandatory for my music scholarship/degree. Stetson’s music school sent out an email to all students stating that a small church across the street would pay Stetson singers to sing with them on Sunday morning as long as you were committed to going to a rehearsal on Wednesday nights. Luckily the director at this church stated that he would work with our schedules and accommodate when needed for any mandatory activities. “How exciting!,” I thought, as I knew this was going to be the job for me! I quickly called
