Personal Narrative: My Trip To North Carolina Central University

In recent days I had the opportunity to go back to North Carolina for a few short days. There, with a heavy heart from a loss in the family, I had nothing else to look towards. I’ve always heard of individuals finding peace, faith, blessings, and love of Christ from attending church. I’ve never been a person who put their faith into a higher power. As I was growing up my parents never wanted to force me into any religion without me knowing everything about it and choosing which route to take on my own. As the years treaded on, I never bothered myself to learn about the many different religions and what each stands for. So I used this opportunity as mine to attend church for the very first time. I attended the Roman Catholic services held

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.

I never thought a white woman from North Carolina could make a change. Back then, everywhere I went I can feel the town's eyes follow. You don't grow up thinking that your beliefs could/would change. Hell, you grow up thinking much of nothing down here. In North Carolina, the only thing you have time for is making money. So you can buy more time.

When my physics professor told me that, I was rather upset than happy. I am here to learn, not to only know couple of equations for the test. College classes are designed to challenge students, not to give easy A’s. My time with Harford Community College was great but not challenging enough. I desire more hands-on experience and research projects, which my community college both lack of. This is when I realize that I need to transfer to somewhere that would give me a lot of opportunities to shine.

My first year at Jamestown Community College as a student, I accomplished making Part-time Dean’s List two semesters back to back. Beginning college that year my personal goal was to strive making new habits to get the best experience out of college, while keeping up with my grades. I took classes to guide me through learning paths, but it they taught me ways of accomplishing what you wanted out of life and other significant information in classes. Prior, to entering to college I received a scholarship called Chautauqua Educational Opportunity to attend Jamestown Community College. It is significant to my study because in high school I constantly strived to push myself to get the grades I wanted to be proud of. I was part of a couple activities

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.

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.

During my second semester at Southwest Mississippi Community College, I had finally gotten comfortable at the school: I had made friends, and I was doing well in all of my classes. Well, all except for college algebra. I have never been good at algebra; this class was no exception. I tried my very best to understand the material, but my mind just could not comprehend much of the material that we covered in class. Because of my own inability to understand the material, I never finished any of my homework, and I did not do well on any of the tests that I had taken. I had later come to realize that my inability to understand the material was not the fault of anyone but myself.

1. Transitions helped me familiarize myself with the campus. The students who were involved were very helpful and answered any questions I had. The tour of the campus helped me feel more comfortable. Transitions was a great way to meet many other freshmen and faculty. The students made me aware of all the great services available at Minot State University.

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 went to Martin Luther College for the entire weekend for a basketball tournament. We left thursday at noon, and we did not arrive until eight o’clock that night. The college student that was suppose to pick Nathan and I up never showed up. We had to wait an extra 30 minutes because we had to find a new roommate. When we finally put our luggage down, we went straight to the pool. I did not go to bed until 3:30 in the morning because the college kids next to my room were really loud. In the morning, I went down to have breakfast with the team. I had eggs and hash browns. We went to chapel and had a tour of the campus. The campus was really nice. We had a game at 4:45, so coach wanted us to meet up at three. Unfortunately, we lost our first

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.

Throughout my time in 4-H, I have attended countless meetings and fairs, gone on field trips with our club, and even competed at 4-H State Achievement days in both air rifle and livestock judging. Yet the most memorable and beneficial activity I have attended was the 4-H Animal Science Camp held at Penn State University. During the camp I had the opportunity to participate in intense, hands-on workshops. This workshops were quite diverse as they covered everything from animal handling, to grading meat, to even exploring cow rumens as well as sheep and pig reproductive tracts. These workshops were very in-depth and focus heavily on the science of the animals. Considering I was already leaning towards majoring in Agriculture, this camp was

Entering college is like walking into Dulles National Airport! Seeing many different nationalities and cultures come together as one and become united. It was my pleasure interviewing Taylor Dickerson a student, part of The Virginia State University class of 2020. Taylor, unlike myself is more familiar with the Richmond, Virginia area. Virginia State University was more like home to her and her family due to her being from this area. Within her immediate family she was the first to attend an university, but her parents chose another direction and entered the military. Being the first out of three children that her parents have, she was lucky enough to say goodbye to her troublesome siblings that she loves so dearly and sadden to tell her parents
