Personal Narrative: My Journey To Western Kentucky University

Where do I even begin? Well, first off…. THANK YOU! You have no idea the impact you have made on not only my life, but so many others. Speaking on behalf of my peers, you truly are a one-of-a-kind and remarkable professor. In my time at Eastern Kentucky University as an undergrad in the History Department, I had my fair share of good, bad and okay professors. You are in none of those categories because you created one for yourself.

This journey is designed to help Southeastern University develop a closer bond with me. All though I have face many situations with abandonment issues, bullying and suicide. These situations do not stop me from serving the Lord. You will enter the beginning of my relationship with God, growth with God, and why I am an academic and spiritual fit for Southeastern University.

I previously went to a private university in Chicago, soon after I knew my heart belonged to Washington State University. There was so many reasons why I choose to move across the country to go to WSU. The transition was hard: I had to leave my new friends, my new sorority, and an amazing city. But, Washington State University is the best fit for me because of the Ranking of the Nursing School, the cost, there is Beautiful Architecture, my boyfriend, a variety of clubs, and the location.

What can I say about this journey is that I want to firstly state, from the bottom of my heart, a gratitude in return for good vibes, compliments and so on which I have realized and owe an apologies to individuals who have thought that I would go to Southern Methodist University, a private school, before I express to this field of graphic design I will go in.

When I first came to Kansas State University I thought I had it all figured out. Coming in as an Animal Science major I was more than certain I wasn't going to be one of the students who "changed their major at least once." But I did. My second semster of my first year I decided to take MC 110 as a replacement for a history requirement, little did I know that I would come to love learning about how mass media transformed over the years. From then on I made it priority to take a mass communications class. I was enjoying my mass communication classes more than my animal science classes and I knew I had to make the switch. So this past summer I switched to the A.Q. Miller School with the intent of focusing on advertising. MC 120 taught me a lot

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point has been an element of my life for the better part of elevens years. Remembering visits to my cousin's apartment were sometimes the highlight of the month. When my brother made the decision to attend UW-Stevens Point I was thrilled because of memories I knew I would get to relive. These two people have been a major factor in my life because they are the first of my generation in the family to graduate from college. The hard work put in from these two has given me a better understanding of what it takes to get through higher. Many people go to college for the experience you will be able to get and not the academic advancement opportunities. This is exactly why my family members have succeeded in this

My college experience has been very non traditional. Besides from having to work basically full-time for the entirety of my college career, school in general has been a struggle. My freshmen year, I decided to stay near home and attend Govornors State University. At Govornors State, I did very well but I was not enjoying my time there. My family was extremely disappointed in my decision to stay home. I was always told to "get away" and "get the college experience". I knew I did not want to be far away but I wanted to make my parents proud so I made the decision to go to Illinois State University the following fall.

Before my Adventure West Virginia trip I was completely pertrified and I felt like I was destined for failure at West Virginia University in academics as well as my social life. Coming into WVU after my trip definitely softened the blow that college was going to throw at me.The orientation trip put some swagger into my step entering college because I knew That there were people who actually believed that I could undergo this mammoth of a task, it also helped that I knew a little about the university than if I went completely blind. The most important knowledge that I valued and retained from my journey was the advice my leaders gave. I’m starting my college year thinking positive because I perceive that will be my game changer in times of

When I first came to Bethel University, I was nervous. Not only was I leaving high school behind when I was not yet an adult, but I was also going into uncharted territory. I grew up in public schools my whole life, so a Christian private school was a bit of a curve ball. I definitely had my doubts. A lot of my opinions - especially political - did not match up with a lot of people that attend Bethel and I felt a little out of place. There were issues where I did not agree with some of the covenant, I had issues with the mixing of education and religion, and going into Bethel I was very unsure of how this year would go. Now that I am enrolled in Bethel’s courses and participating in activities, I am able to understand and experience exactly

It has been good for me to write about my experience. Just one year ago, my life was completely different from now. From the beginning of my time at Green River College, I have met with many setbacks, endured sufferings causing me to feel helpless or even want to give up. However, one quality of me made me have confidence again which was persistence.

Growing up, I was told the path to life is simple. Go to school, get good grades, participate in after school activities, go to college and you’ll do great in life. While the road to finish my BA in English has been a little bumpy and taken longer than expected, there is not a single thing I would change. I am proud to declare, nine years after graduating from high school, I am graduating from Sacramento State University on the 21st of May 2016.

In my opinion, one of the toughest obstacles facing young adults is the idea that

When I think of the next few years and the journey towards my career goal, I strive for many things. I see myself as a Pirate, studying hard to get where I need to be. I visualize myself pushing for academic success like never before, and surpassing what I thought I could be, in ways I could have never imagined. I believe I will be an excellent asset to Southwest University, because I inherently possess the necessary skills to become successful in my college career and beyond.

My college experience first started in the spring of 2014, when I went on my first college tour with the Economic Opportunity Commission of Nassau County, Inc. On this college tour, we visited prestigious Historically Black Colleges and Universities such Spelman College and Morgan State University. It was not until the Spring of 2015 when I discovered my dream school. On this college tour, we visited Lincoln University and it was love at first site. My first perception of Lincoln was that this institution has such a rich culture and family like campus that I wish be a part of. This original perception has not changed now that am enrolled and finished my first semester at Lincoln University. My first semester of college at Lincoln University was a life changing experience. The lessons and people that I met will last a lifetime. My first month at Lincoln University was a challenging time. It took me awhile to grow out of my protective shell interact with

As Indiana University is rich due to diversity, culture, and experience. I would describe myself rich as I am grateful for the experiences through community service. I do a lot of community service through 4-H as I have been a member for ten years. I have also been given the opportunity to be a camp counselor during the summer. Being able to be a camp counselor is one of the achievement given to me as I have to do paperwork and go through an interview process. My most important contribution to my community through service is being apart of Junior leader in 4-H. This group is made up of teens who help and fundraise to help the community. For example, we sold peanuts from Texas Roadhouse that were given to us to sponsor two children in the community
