Personal Narrative: My Trip To The University Of Texas

Ever since I was younger I was full of wonder, which could be argued that it translated to a love of math and science. As I began to mature this wonder would keep me intrigued in learning an created an excitement for school. I started my education in Houston and am excited to continue it at such a great school like Texas Tech and thanks to this scholarship that will be possible.

I am Efrashia Nicole Crespin and I was raised here in Las Cruces, New Mexico. I had recently moved to Hobbs, New Mexico and came back to finish my high school career and start at New Mexico State University the following semester. I am majoring in the school of Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management as for short we call it HRTM. I have received numerous scholarships from the university in pursing in bachelors here at New Mexico State. I am grateful for the opportunities the school as offered to me coming from a very low income family.

During summer break in august I went there with my grandma.some people might get a plane vasue the trip is so long but for us we drove down.It took us 3 to 4 days to finally get to where we needed to be going.It takes along time to get there only cause from driving so long you will need to rest so we went to a hotel every night and then we got something to eat for breakfast and dinner.

I am a junior majoring in computer science. I earned my Associate of Science at El Paso Community College in Fall 2015 and my high school diploma at TMECHS in Spring 2016. This is my first year at Texas Tech University. I am required to take this course, but I’m looking forward to learning how to respond to situations that aren’t so black and

The college I chose for my visit is Arizona State University. When I first walked in with my dad, we were greeted by the tour guides and given folders. The folders had pages of information about ASU and the students that go there. There was an information session before the tour, so we took our seats in the lecture hall. An ASU graduate named Nyesha was the speaker at the informations session. She graduated in 2013 and now works as a tour guide. She gave us some information about the atmosphere of the school, like small class sizes, which I liked. After Nyesha Spoke, a student named Mia came into the room to tell us about her experience at ASU. She just finished her freshman year there, and she is studying microbiology. She is also apart

Asking to write about oneself has a far greater challenge than writing about another, due to the fact of having too much information on the topic it is difficult to find a starting point. Therefore to tackle this task I questioned those closest friends to list my contributing qualities. Overwhelmingly my peers considered me as an extremely caring individual who is always willing to help. When recollecting my past experiences, numerous moments of enjoyable times and cherished adventures came to mind; this is one attribute I would love to contribute to the Florida Gulf Coast University community, the love to completely cherish life is what I passionately want to share. The qualities that allow for life to be enjoyed to the fullest extent include

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 was a student attending Grand Canyon University. As you already know my grades do not reflect what I earned in high school, there are reasons why this occurred but to be honest they were things that should not have affected me. However, they did and it was the online courses, the failed attempt to communicate and understand what was needed of me from my student advisor, the study process, and my roommates. I was used to turning things in by hand not through the internet, the school did however sent us instructions by email but it was very difficult to use. There were many steps to turn in an essay or a worksheet and you had to sure that your laptop could open all of the documents. Sometimes my laptop would crash because I had so many documents on it that it couldn't handle it.

When I think about my legacy at The University of Missouri, I think I will always think back to the tough times I am experiencing right now at Mizzou. I see many people around campus and how much they seem to love Mizzou. I desire every day to be like the people who love Mizzou. Through my first few weeks and challenges I am starting to realize that Mizzou takes time. They say all great things take time. The University of Missouri is teaching me patience, perseverance, and responsibility and the great part is, I think every year Mizzou will teach me something new depending on the spot in life I’m in.

The University of Texas is one of the best University in Texas and I would be honored to continue my journey under such a high standard university and under the influenced of may amazing professors. UT has some of the most skilled professors in the nation that have gained so much experience through the research and pieces of literature that they have produced. Such as professor Jessica Church-Lang who has published many literature pieces, or professor Michael P Domjam who has been selected for a MERIT Award by the national Institutes of Mental Health. Additionally, all these professors come from different educational backgrounds and have many different fields that one can learn from. Hopefully, attending the university of Texas will give the opportunity to learn from these amazing professors that will led me to many opportunities in the future. Furthermore, the University of Texas has such a diverse body of students that can help me learn more about cultures and their way of life, which can lead me to understand people a little more. Even though Texas State is a great university, it does not have as many experience professors or many opportunities to grow as the University of Texas does. Therefore, I strongly believe that UT will help me achieve my goal of shaping the life’s of the children who really need

Life is timed and things happen for a purpose. One day when I look back at the time that I began gaining ownership of my life, I will remember of Houston Community College (HCCs); despite the downfalls I experienced regarding my academic achievements. In this journey, every person that I had the opportunity to spend some time with, thought me a something. However, there is one that although we spent just one semester, it felt like a life. And I call her the professor who changed my life. She was my instructor from the introduction to communication class “Speech 1301,” her class helped to boost my confidence and shaped me into a person that I am today. Transferring will open doors to new experiences, new challenges and it will be one step ahead

The moment I stepped onto The University of Tulsa’s campus, I immediately felt at home. The atmosphere was so positive, and everyone was so friendly. Community and family is extremely important to me when it comes to excelling in college. Coming from a medium sized high school, I am looking for a college that is small but still has enough people that I don’t know every person I come across. I would also like to attend a Division 1 school. Being the smallest Division 1 university, you get the best of both worlds at The University of Tulsa. The University of Tulsa is only 30 minutes from my house, so it is close to home, but also far enough away that I can still have the “college experience” everyone wants. I am also very attracted to the research

Attending The University of Texas has been a dream come true but with that dream came issues. This school year has been exceptionally difficult for me emotionally, academically, and spiritually. The support from my family whether financial or emotional has always been majorly important in my life, last semester that all changed. My family is a single income family in which my father’s income decreased significantly to the point where I had to be fully independent financially. My job that was once for spare change now became my livelihood and became increasingly more time consuming. This event demonstrated to me just how unpredictable the life of an entrepreneur can be even with a proven track record. That lack of security is why I am striving

After few days of one intense meeting after another, we were ready for some relaxation time. The destination we chose to ease our nerves was the Cat Café in Georgetown. This cafe is home to 23 rescued cats, and it gives people a chance to hangout with cats while having a cup of coffee. There was a tiny bit of concern, being Danny and I were allergic to cats, but we decided to give it a go after being peer pressured by our cat enthusiast teammates. After 30 minutes of feline-human bonding, due to some sinus issues, Danny and I reluctantly decided to leave the cat café a little early to explore the Georgetown area. The destination that we decided on was Georgetown University. Coming from UCSD, Georgetown University was a very different campus environment. After a quick stroll around the campus it was time to

The event that I attended was the Texas State Football game on October 1, 2016 with my mother and sister. The event was held at the Bobcat Stadium. The type of format was casual, fun and surprises. I chose this event because my mother and sister were in San Marcos because of the Family Weekend that occurred. So, they wanted to see the football game because my mother loves football and we really wanted to see if Texas State was going to win. I really liked when Texas State scored, fireworks came out. In addition, the food and music were a treat. I, personally, don’t like when the crowd boos the other team. I get it, we’re trying to win. But making noise isn’t going to help, they’re trained not to listen and win. Also, I didn’t like the language
