Personal Narrative: My Four Year College

As Senior year gets closer and closer to the end college is the next to approach. I have already applied to colleges after considering the many options and narrowing down my search. When it came to college I never really thought about not going. It has never really been an option because I wanted to go and my parents did too. When applying for college came up I did have a bump in the road because of money. I was given a choice to do what I wanted; to pick where I wanted to go, but I wasn’t as ready

courses throughout my high school career, my teachers followed a relatively challenging curriculum. Every year, I was expected to write every one of the following types of texts at least one: argumentative, analysis and narrative. I have always considered English to be my best subject because not only was I enticed by it, but I was also excelled at it. Below, I will reflect on a few of the most honorable pieces of writing from my four years of high school. I will highlight my strengths, weaknesses

An analysis of Ivy League college selection processes among students reveals an alarming trend; students are selecting college environments based solely upon the prestige of the institution without regard to the application of their studies. For many people, their goal university would be an Ivy League University. William Deresiewicz, once a Yale professor, wrote a book explaining how Ivy League Universities are creating an unequal society amongst students. Mr. Deresiewicz was once on the inside

The authors believe in three overarching variable s have to do with a student’s outcome; those variable are background, personal motivations, and environmental support.

Being a pole vaulter means I can fly. But, finding a college that would let me fly is a whole different battle for which no training could have prepared me. As an academically driven student, I wanted to find a university that would challenge me as well as improve my skills in the pole vault. I loved the lists

learned during the semester in ENG 111. There were three other essay assignments. The first one was called a literacy narrative, the second one, a single source essay, and the third one, a multi-source essay. But how can I write about things I do not understand? I had never taken an online class before, much less, a class that required so much reading and writing. This is a college level course and I am just a junior in high school. I was clueless about writing a paper in a format and I possessed

Of my own experiences as well as others I have researched, I have found that writing about one’s life is therapeutic and can eliminate stress among people. I always thought it was rather strange when a speaker or teacher would ask everyone to write down a few adjectives to describe him or herself; I never understood why it was so important. After researching articles and composing self-reflecting papers during my college years, I have personally felt the positive outcomes that speaking and writing

and their narratives have been recorded by various authors in both fiction and non-fiction stories. But can the fiction genre be considered a reliable source for studying the immigrant narrative? If American immigrant literature is to be used as a reliable source for understanding the immigrant experience, one needs to justify that this literature properly tracks the history of the immigrant narrative.

In today’s society, there is a stigma that one needs a college education to be successful. Due to these overwhelming societal pressures, college students encounter numerous challenges. Two authors who explore these challenges are William Zinsser in his article “College Pressures” and Eric Greiten in his book “The Heart and the Fist”. Both Zinsser and Greitens consider the everyday struggles that college students face. While discussing the same topics, the authors use different writing styles and

hours. Everything was explained very well and the technique that Mr. Scott taught the class was very thought through because I didn't need the additional time with him that I thought I was going to need. I've been in college for four years. At first I only focused on completing my general studies because I was undecided on a major and then I went into architecture. Wasn't completely happy because I struggle in mathematics. So now I am majoring in interior design. And I couldn't be more thrilled
