Personal Narrative: My Growing Up In My College Career

My College and Career goals include graduating college and getting a job. I wish to attend the University of Alabama. I plan to major in occupational therapy or speech therapy. After I graduate with my bachelor's degree I wish to get my master's degree. After I finish my schooling I want to receive a job that allows me to provide for my family. I wish to receive this job in my degree's field. After receiving this job I wish to improve to reach a leadership role.

As a junior in Early College I would more or less consider this my second year, as I have been taking college classes for three years now. However, I can still identify an issue I am facing with my courses. As I am trying to graduate a five year program in only four years, I have taken on a lot of responsibility as a 16 year old. I am currently taking 6 courses this semester, and I will have to take five courses every other semester to graduate on time. As I thought this would be a busy course load for me, I ended up quitting my job because they could not comply with the hours I requested due to school. I completely regret this, as I now have to work at a job that I am not making much money at and I have even had to take on some side jobs just to be able to pay my insurance on time. Sometimes, people make decisions that they think will better them and make life easier, but they make these decisions without careful consideration and at least trying the circumstance before changing everything.

I wrote this inspirational and persuasive book to stimulate all college bound student’s career decisions. A stimulated choice means that your college aspiration is prayerfully pumped-up with two of God’s counsels: spiritual enrichment and spiritual empowerment. These two activators serve to remind new college students to put God as their first priority.

My college goals include transferring from Merced College to Stanislaus State University. I began the application process in November. I will complete my requirements here at Merced College this semester for my Associates Degree Transfer. I'm majoring in Psychology and hope to receive my Bachelors in Arts at Stanislaus State. My career goals include attaining an instructional aide position as soon as I receive my AA from Merced College. I haven't had any luck applying for that position however, I'm hopeful my luck will change. I have attended approximately eight to ten instructional aide position interviews and volunteer at a local Elementary School in Chowchilla. I believe the more education I receive, the better a candidate I will become

College is something that most people fear, love, or choose to not even go. I never thought during high school, I would end up going to college and that it would of turned my life around. Everyone has the dark tunnels they have to go through before they eventually find that bright light at the end of the tunnel. I was going through that dark tunnel in high school and then college ended up pulling me out and saving me.

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

Throughout my whole high school career what has happened to me in my life has reflected on how I perform. The first two years of high school was smooth sailing for me. I had a little bump in the beginning of the semester. However, that was only for I was not use to the high school setting, so I was only trying to get comfortable with my teachers and their working style. I had the mindset at the time to only focus on school, for I did not have anything else to worry about. The classes I had were fairly simple to keep up with. I believe this was because I only had honors classes during this time, and only one AP class. The teachers I had did not have that many high expectations, as an AP teacher would.

Going to college has been a dream of mine ever since I entered High School. I have worked rigorously throughout high school with the hopes that my grades would get me into a good college/university. However, I did not realize that getting into a college was not going to be the only obstacle, affording it was going to be the biggest.

Enrolling into college was a huge decision in my life, because of the fact I was a first generation student. As the first to attend college in my family, I was sending a message that I am competent enough to accomplish my goals. The goal that I had my heart set on was to become a nurse. I have already taken a step by enrolling into Mount Carmel College of Nursing. Mount Carmel College of Nursing is a program that allows you to earn your bachelors in nursing. I transferred to Mount Carmel from Columbus State Community College. While in Columbus State, I remember vividly thinking about how the career I choose will impact me lifelong. So it seemed reasonable to be a nurse, and help those in need. In helping my patients, I am also helping my community. Becoming a nurse will help me take care of patients during important moments in their life, and to make sure they receive quality care.

When I tell people that I grew up in a small college town, they automatically assume that my entire time was spent bored out of my mind. This could not be further from the truth; there's far more to Muncie than frat houses and college football. I spent much of my childhood lost inside the stacks of the public libraries, helping out the librarians, or serving on the teen advisory board. Some of my favorite memories have been at the college; Often, Ball State invites people of influence to speak, from politicians to Holocaust survivors. Although these speakers are invited for the benefit of the college students, many of these events are open to the general public as well. The local children's museum has hundreds of exhibits on everything from

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,

Throughout my high school career, I've learned various things that will help shape my future. Whether it's my experiences in athletics, extracurricular activities, or even my social interactions during the school day itself. High school was a place where I learned endless life lessons that have shaped me into who I am today. Most people view high school as a place that they are forced to spend four years of their lives, I conceive it as a place to grow in friendships and expand my knowledge of the world.

They started teaching us in middle school that we don’t ever get it easy after this. When they said we didn’t get it easy, I thought that just meant the classes weren’t easy in high school or in college. No. They meant life is not easy after this, they meant it was time for us to put our big kid pants on and grow up. Beginning my high school career is when I finally realized that life is not just handed to me, that I have to work to get where I want to be.

In the beginning of my college academic career I thought I had it figured out. Like most naive young adults, I soon came to the realize that I didn’t. My first year of college I decided to go away to upstate New York and study at a vocational school to be veterinary technician. I had always loved animals, and I thought that this was the career for me. I slowly came to realize that it wasn't. For some reason the career was not fulfilling, and I quickly lost interest. I struggled a lot balancing a rigorous course load my first year of college, and on top of that I was far away from any support from my family. After my first year had ended, I felt lost and had no idea what to do next. I knew that I wanted to study something in the health or sciences,

Throughout the years, I have grown and matured as a student, and a person. I have had several experiences which have shaped me into who I am and also shaped my values. I value family. As a senior in highschool, I had a lot of things on my shoulders. I needed to pick a college, a major, pretty much figure out my entire life in a matter of nine months. Many students had their family to fall back on when they needed support, I however, did not. My parents both had jobs that would take them away during the week. I would be home alone, taking care of the dogs, the house and myself while they were gone. It was very hard at first and I struggled. I was use to coming home and talking about whatever happened that day at school and practice, or something
