Personal Narrative: My Trip At Bryant University

East Carolina University is and has always been a dream school for many students including myself. I have grown up hearing about the University and it is nothing short of spectacular. Many family members of mine have attended East Carolina, and I have always pictured myself at this school. It would be an honor to be a pirate. Throughout high school I have struggled in Science and Math. I know I could have done better in high school but in life you can always do something better, im eager to push myself more and work harder than ever to succeed as an adult, if given the chance There are many times when I should I have put school in front of my extra curricular activities such as dancing, art, work, tennis, and swimming. However, all of those

Before coming to James Madison University I had no clue what I wanted to get involved in. Whether it was a club sport, business related group, or a social fraternity I just wanted to be apart of something that was bigger than myself. At the beginning of the school year I looked into tryouts for club baseball, the Madison Investment Fund and rush schedules for fraternities on campus. I quickly found out that club baseball wasn’t for me, at least for my freshman year. I then asked around about MIF and got the sense that you needed a very heavy Economics background and that it was very challenging to be accepted as a freshman. MIF is something I hope to get involved in next fall. In the back of my head I always knew that a social fraternity was what

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.

Vince Lombardi Jr., the great football coach for whom the Super Bowl trophy was named, said “People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.” and “The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Work is the key to success, and hard work can help you accomplish anything.” I believe these statements are true and hope my legacy at Walton College will show that to be successful one does not have to be the smartest or most talented person, but that success can be achieved through hard work, the ability to collaborate well with others, and being willing to take risks. The success I have achieved in school thus far is not because it naturally comes easy to me,

As I sat on the couch getting ready for the first day back at school, I heard the phone in the kitchen ring. I stood up to go answer it and I heard loud footsteps coming down the stairs. My mother was running down the stairs to answer it just in case it was one of her work calls. I noticed that her voice started to crack as if she was going to cry and the smile that she once had on her face had disappeared. The person on the other end of the phone was my Uncle Dylan from California calling to let us know that Aunt Liz had died in a car wreck. We were so devastated but little did we know she left me $12k. A couple days later I received a letter in the mail saying that I had to use it to help pay for my tuition. I am looking to attend the nursing program at Lindenwood, Missouri State, or St. Louis University.

Sonoma State University was first introduced to me a year ago when I went on a tour of SSU with my school. Twenty of us went on a trip to Northern California to see schools such as University of San Francisco, San Francisco State, Holy Names University, UC Berkeley, and of course, Sonoma State University. I fell in love with SSU the minute I stepped on campus, the campus is so full of trees, unlike the desert-style campuses of many Southern California schools near where I live, and amazing buildings that inspire me by just being around them. When I took a tour of SSU, my tour guide was a part of the Hutchins Program, and she was so passionate when she told my group about it. I had never heard of a program that allowed students to get their degree and teaching credential in 4 years, so after that tour I began to research and tour schools with these kinds of programs, and yet none of them have impacted me quite like the Hutchins Program.

Growing up I remember my father telling me of his life at Georgetown. He recounted how much he was able to accomplish and learn in the tight-knit community. He noted the copious opportunities offered, but also how he felt connected with his professors. He told me of how convenient the location was, right in the nation's capital, and how this allowed him to be able to intern and interview with many businesses relevant to his major. As the time for me to apply to colleges drew closer, I began considering his stories, and with them, Georgetown. I researched the school and found it has everything I had hoped my future school will have. It is large enough to have diversity, but not so big it is overwhelming and has a lot of different ways of exploring the world and learning more about the community around me, but just as importantly, it offered a flexibility in when you must declare your major.

As most journeys begin, it all started with the arrival to Vincennes University. The morning was sadly not bright and sunny, but rather bitter and stormy. It was definitely not one that aroused happy thoughts when it comes to traveling, but still Ben Davis University scholars boarded the charter buses. Patience was a virtue in which we all lacked. We all arrived by 10:45 on June 10th, but still only began moving around 11. We groggily moved towards the buses, dragging around our luggage that would somehow enable us to live and survive during our 1 week stay.

Working on campus in an influential department, such as the undergraduate admissions office at Sam Houston State University, can present a multitude of opportunities to engage personably with prospective students from all walks of life. Like any other ordinary day in the admissions office, I respond to phone, walk-in and email inquiries related to SHSU’s admissions procedures and policies for prospective students. Unbeknown to me, however, this “ordinary day” would be an office visit that I would never forget. I recall meeting a remarkable freshman who had an aspiration to become an attorney and was interested in majoring in political science, but had some reservations. The student explained that at the age of sixteen he was diagnosed with

My Penn State trip started with three children, and almost ended with one. In 2014 my mother took my brother, my Opa, and myself to Penn State for my 13th birthday. Just remember never to bring your 88 year old grandfather or your brother on any kind of trip.

In tenth grade I took not only my first tour of Christopher Newport University but also my first college tour. Before even beginning the tour I absolutly knew this was the school for me. After leaving the tour I did anything and everything I could to get accepted there. I visited CNU mulitiple times between junior and senior year by attending tours and opens houses. Everytime I visited I was only impressed more with the school and community of CNU. During senior year I was able to set up an interview and a sleepover with a student amasador, being able to sleepover at a school where you know no one, yet you feel so welcomed is exactly what I wanted out of a school. I applied for early decision senior year but my dreams could not be fufilled.

In 2015 I received a call from someone claiming to be my Resident Assistant. She became the sister I never had and the mentor I always needed. Watching her interact with residents inspired me to become one. I am a very social person and I aspire to help ensure that students have a wonderful experience at Lamar University.

We all have memories from our childhood, which will never leave our memory no matter how old we may get. Up until I was about 8 years old, I lived in the Victorian Village community in a very old apartment complex that was originally a house that was, awkwardly, broken up into sections to create the different apartment arrangements. While I was living there, I remember going to the Northside library every day in the summer to practice my reading, to Thompson Recreation Center and Goodale Park to play on the playground and with other kids, along with many other great memories. It was during this time I knew attending college was inevitably in my future.

As a successful university, you want to invest in a student that has extreme upside that in addition will provide a great return on your investment. Today you have the opportunity to invest in a young man that is passionate, hardworking, and detail oriented.

I became interested in Bethel University through my coworkers. Out of all the available online programs the only one that constantly received positive feedback was Bethel. The instruction and direction received from the counselors and instructors along with the smooth flow of courses was one of the frequently repeated comments or opinions I received from previous students. Since enrolling I am already starting to believe I made the right decision. I have never been so in contact with so many different people all looking to help me in anyway that they can from a university. That alone has made me want to keep going and striving to finally complete my
