Personal Narrative: My Time Spent At Kennesaw State University

It has been 2 1/2 years since I left Kent State Geauga. Looking back I am so glad I made that decision because it lead me here. After I graduated High School I did what I was expected to do by going to college. I had no idea what I wanted to major in, but I new I wanted to do something I love and am passionate about. The problem was, how do I know if I love something if I’ve never done it before? After a semester of college I decided I would drop out and figure out what I wanted to do before I went back to school.

My history with Florida A & M University started before I was born. Looking back from day one, my family specifically my mom, cousin and aunts instilled in me what was the definition of a true Rattler. Some have defined a true Rattler as a go getter who stops at nothing to accomplish their goal. Some have defined a true Rattler as a well spoken and confident student attending FAMU. Others, simply would define a true Rattler as a student who has fallen on the hill going to class. Considering these definitions and countless others, I possess the solid qualities for attending Florida A & M University and becoming a true Rattler.

My Northern State University (NSU) American Indian academic advisor, Lara Nelson has inspired me and encouraged me for the two years of my collegiate career to be extremely involved and active in leadership roles. She is the leader of the Native American Student Association at NSU as well, and has encouraged me to be an active participant in the association and consequently, I was elected as the treasurer of the association in September 2016 and I also serve as student advisor on the NSU American Indian Advisory Committee which serves under the direction of the university’s Provost. In these positions, it is necessary for me to communicate and organize so that we can fulfill the organizations goals. We have been instrumental in helping shape

Several years ago, I went to Pensacola State College, and attempted to register for the Medical Information Coder Biller class, but was unsuccessful. The reason being, I could not provide the college with the proper identification they requested. I am a U.S. citizen born and raised, and I could not understand the process at the time. It took me a while to get my voter’s registration updated, and I did not have a driver’s license. This setback would prevent me from registering for any classes at the college.

When I think about what I could contribute to Florida A&M University based on the knowledge that I do have with your institution is that i’m a extremely committed student who has beliefs that you can do anything that you set your mind to. There may be some times when I may feel discouraged but why must if I feel like that if things aren’t easily handed to you. You must chase your dreams, and when you do that things will slowly fall into place (not exactly how you planned for it to be at times). I learned that through the many obstacles I had to experience to make me the well informed women I am today. The best activity, interest, experience, and achievement in my life was being a Big member of “Big brother, big sister”. Becoming a mentor for

Growing up with high expectations my mind has always been set on the idea of college. However when thinking of the “right” college for my future, I never knew If I would be able to fully commit and choose which one was best for me. I wanted something that would be comfortable for me that also meets my criteria that would make the college transition a bit easier. Since I’m going into something new, my decision would end up being based on the class sizes, the costs being affordable, the majors and degrees available for Nursing, and the location and how close it is to my family. It was a hard decision however one school had it all, which is why I’ve decided to further this chapter of my life at West Texas A&M University.

Monday, August 20th of 2018 will be the first day of my college career at Florida Gulf Coast University! Not only does Florida Gulf Coast have my major but the campus is right next to the Gulf of Mexico which is great for a want to be marine biologist.The best part is that Fort Meyers is a small city but it's also close to Floridas best beaches and attractions. I can't wait to start my education at Florida Gulf Coast University.

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 am Micah Head, and I don't know what I want to major in at this point. I really enjoy working with children, and I volunteer with our special needs class at our church. I also work at a daycare. I don't think I want to teach in a classroom, but I am still not sure exactly how I will work with children. This is the end of my first year at Jeff

My first year starting out at Edinboro University was very hard. Coming to college was very challenging. Edinboro University is known for being a school to accommodate students with disabilities. During my last year in high school Edinboro university had a representative come to my high school to talk to me regarding their school and why I should go there. My disability was asthma. I went to visit the campus and I saw how well they do accommodating students with disabilities. They also gave me a scholarship. My first year I was very nervous because this was a university it was not high school. Starting out it was very challenging.

To the outstanding men and women of the Prince George's County Maryland Chapter of Virginia State University Alumni Association, I would greatly appreciate if I was awarded this scholarship on your behalf. I have just finished my first year at Virginia State University and as the only first-year female Manufacturing Engineering major, it has been tough.

Today, I was impressed with the show that Kentucky State University put on. If were in high school after seeing what I saw today and hearing what I heard today....well I would be sold on Kentucky State. I did not see any representation from Central State today. Why was that? It's a 30 minute drive. I love IMM but WE have to do

My shoes all of a sudden started feeling wet, an itching sensation started on my right cheek which ran down to my chin, my ears were turning the color of a tomato and my brain was in a totally confuzzled state. In search of similar faces, my eyes were wandering around everywhere. My heart beating very loudly prevented me from hearing cars going past me, the temperate of my body was increasing giving me the feeling I had a fever. I was feeling really dizzy, but at least I had made it to Wayne State University safely and was heading to my first class.

After hours in the library spent hovered over my books, I walked into my first college exam with butterflies in my stomach. I wanted to do well and expected a challenge in the hour and a half of multiple-choice questions ahead. When I handed my test to the professor and walked out of the room, I was overwhelmed with disappointment. This didn’t stem from my performance because I knew I had done well on the exam; I felt this disappointment because that test, in one of the hardest general science classes, didn’t challenge me. Coming into North Carolina State University, I yearned to be challenged in the classroom and desired an environment where students strived to grow educationally. When I realized I wouldn’t find that in my current situation, I knew that my school wasn’t the proper fit and decided that I should pursue transferring.

The past three years at UNC Greensboro have been truly amazing for me in terms of being an active and involved student. My freshman year, I was not sure what I wanted to get involved in so the first things I chose to do were join an organization called Human Resource Management Association and participate the Bronze Leadership Challenge. The Bronze Leadership Challenge was definitely a great way for me to become involved because not only did I meet new people but, I was able to get out into my community and volunteer with the Interactive Resource Center providing help and assistance to those experiencing homelessness. As for HRMA, being an HR major I figured that this organization would help me a lot in my field of study and it definitely has.
