Personal Narrative: My Fall Term Of College

Since the start of the semster I have learned many different things about myself and how I can become a better student all around. Summer classes can fly by fast and doesn’t feel like a real semester. That it is just to get credit and move on to the next semester. That was not the case for me this summer semester because I needed to think about the rest of my college career. This summer semester is my first one coming back from academic suspension and I took last semester at South Plains College and Tarrant County College. I did really well making a 3.00 GPA overall and am most likely going to make a 3.5 this semester. This will be a huge boost to my overall GPA. The point is am at the point where I am ready to graduate and will try my hardest to get the best grades I can. I really just changed my mindset towards college and the way I prepare for tests and studying.

Hello I know it is early but I was just wondering about how to go about becoming a student here next september. I am going to into my second year of Westchester Community College in Westchester. After my two years I would like to attend John Jay, what would be the steps in attending? Is their a certain grade I need to get in order to get in. Also while I was in high school I never took the SAT/ACT would that be a problem ?

Science can be complicated, but it is one of the subjects that explains what goes on in our world. Throughout high school, science courses were always my favorite. I decided that my major of choice for college would be biology: the study of living organisms. Grogan College’s curricular focus “is the development of the professional self in the areas of health, medicine, nursing, education, criminal law, business, and the performing arts”. Looking at that statement made me realize that this residential college is my best fit. The words that captured my attention are health, medicine, and performing arts. As a color guard performer and biology major, it is important that I continue performing as an outlet, as well as increase my research skills.

Being a freshman is the hardest of your four years in high school. Have you ever been pressured to be the best person you can be? This is how my year was as a freshman. Freshman year was the most different I never thought I would of found my way around the school when I first started to go there. Freshman year was the best year throughout my years of high school and it was the only year I had friends. During this year I had a lot of anxieties which dealt with me thinking I’m gonna be alone and not have any friends throughout the year to support me through the whole thing. Also, I would think of the pressure of not doing good in any of my classes so I would think it would affect my GPA in the future. The transition from middle school to high school was a different type of thing to do.

Throughout the rigorous society of college I’ve managed to grow and mature immensely. My first two years of college were less than perfect, but as the years went on I became better. College, like anything else in life is not easy—it is about hard work and life lessons. Sometimes, life lessons are slow in the teaching process—but you will always learn, no matter how long it takes. My grades throughout my time at New York Institute of Technology have grown like myself. I’ve transitioned from receiving horrific calculus grades to smile-worthy calculus grades—from Ds to taking both calculus 1 and 2 in the same semester, and receiving As. Additionally, I was lucky enough to take both biomedical research 1 and 2 at the same time. I was lucky enough

I have really enjoyed being in school my last two semesters here at Tech. Summer semester has been a little harder than I have imaged, but I am making it through. I will be going into my third semester in the fall and my classes will be a lot tougher as well. I will work and study harder, so I can pass my classes.

Imagine: a 99 lbs, 5’4, skinny, shy, ginger kid. Doesn’t seem like the athletic kind does it? This was me as a freshman, and I was really self conscious about myself, granted I was taller than the shortest people who were once taller than me about 2 years ago, I was still skinny and light. I was a good runner, placing 1st in my very first track race, but I hurt my hip during practice and didn’t say anything to the coaches because I was scared they’d say, “Wow, I knew this kid wouldn’t be able to do it, he’s so weak! Just look at him!” so I continued and placed last every race, but I still tried right?

I have been in college for two years now, and I have been to two colleges. For my first semester of freshman year, I attended a college in North Carolina. I am not giving out the name of the college for obvious reasons but it was my dream school. Once I got there, I soon realized that being 19 hours away from home was not for me. I left after only one semester and now I am almost half way through my third semester at a community college in my town. In the fall, I will be transferring AGAIN to another four-year college, but this time it is only one hour away…18 hours closer than the first college I went to! Okay, okay…back on track. Although I had some awful times at the college in N.C., I did though, meet a wonderful human being. My

My goals going into college is to be the best that I can be, put forth 100 percent effort in everything that I do, work my way up to being on the Dean’s list, and become a starter basketball player for my school’s team. The goals I’ve listed was chosen because I know for a fact that I can accomplish anything that I put my mind to and also I plan on being the smartest basketball player in college that’s going to graduate with high honors. In reality I really don’t have a schedule to jungle both academic and social activities. Mainly because everything dealing with my education comes first and whenever I have free time outside of that, that’s where my extracurricular and the other things I like to do comes in and fills in the gaps. When it comes

The first I came to the US I had to start over and get a new degree because English wasn’t my first language, I have an accent different than Native American speakers. During my Pre college class at HCC I had to prepare for debate we were four students vs four students of my classmate, and the most important thing and funny happened in my life at that time we all four of my team members were foreigners and the other member team were native American. Before I came to class I prepared my part well I made search about my project, supporting my ideas with proof and pictures I was confident about myself and my team too. I had to seat with my team in front of the class, when the debate started and it was my turn to debate, I couldn’t find my words,

I have been attending your school for the past few weeks and loving every minuate of it. Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to continue due to the financial situation that my mother and myself are under. Being a Senior at Ponte Vedra Highschool, I am about to continue my education in college and with that the debt that amounts upthrough student loans. After talking with the bank and other finicial institutions, they have stated that I can either get my loans for college or to finish my flight training. My love for flying began when I started playing football at the age of 11. During my football games I would stop playing on the defensive line to watch a plane land at the airport across the street. After watching these planes for two years,

Hey Mohawks! This week I'm taking a break from video blogs and just write what has been happening lately. I just started my last quarter of high school. I'm feeling mixed emotions about it. I am happy to graduate and be able to go off to college. On the other end of it I will miss it a little. These past four years have been the best four years of my life so far. I wouldn't trade the Friday night football games all the way to the nights I stayed up late cramming in formulas on how to calculate the velocity of an airplane. This upcoming week is Spring break. Then following that is state testing, which means I get to sleep in a few days a week for the next month. I'm excited for these last few weeks of high school. I plan on keeping you informed.

My first year of graduate school involved a lot of design courses, focusing predominantly on advanced mathematical design methods, system design/optimization and safety procedures for the same and I genuinely owe a lot to Dr. Schuller for how effortlessly I was able to navigate them. I remember sitting in class and approaching it as more of a review while a lot of students were being introduced to it for the first time. The material Dr. Schuller covered during our senior capstone has comfortably taken me through graduate level coursework, and I am eternally grateful for that.

First, I’ll begin with that fact the I have almost made it! Indeed, my first semester in graduate school was a challenge. I have definitely learned so much in the last 16 weeks. Initially, I was not aware of how helpful this course would be. So much of the information provided in this course was not initiative. There were many things along the way that I had not yet given much consideration. To begin, my career plan was in some ways too specific and in other ways too general. My original career plan was to pursue a Master’s program, which I am currently doing, and then, a doctoral program in hopes of becoming a clinical health psychologist. Another part of my plan was to continue conducting research related to sexually transmitted infections and health behaviors among minority populations. Before this course, I did not have a back up plan. Fast forward to the end of this semester, I now have given my back up plan some thought. During my last spring semester, I will begin looking for jobs that will hire someone with my degree. At the same time, I will also begin making sure I have the appropriate paperwork completed. I intend to reach out to Meagan Philips for

Typically, your mailman is someone you do not know. Maybe you do know him because your dog barks uncontrollably when he is near your home, or they're just a nice person. That's no the case for me, my mailman sucks at his job. Robert (whose name has been changed for privacy) has been giving me the wrong mail for the past 3 years. This affects me greatly because now that I am in college It is crucial for me to receive mail on time when it comes to missing school documents and student loans. In the spring of 2015, I was applying for colleges. Naturally, you receive either an acceptance or rejection letter, I received neither. Why may you ask? Because my dear mailman Robert did not deliver it to the right location. I did not know I was accepted
