Personal Narrative: My Visit To Georgia Tech

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

From the moment I stepped onto Georgia Tech's campus, I sensed a certain atmosphere of excitement and creativity. I felt that exciting and innovative things are happening. I instantly knew that Georgia Tech can equip me with the knowledge and education I need to better effect the world around me. Georgia Tech feels like a place where I can be challenged, educated, and intellectually

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.

We all know that colleges are different. At the same time, we don’t think about how they are similar. The Georgia Institute of Technology is a very suitable college to me. Even though the University of Georgia is just as competitive, Georgia Tech. is still my choice.

Growing up in a small town in the corner of Northwest Georgia taught me many things. It taught me a distinctive vocabulary showcasing words such as “cattywampus” and phrases like “well butter my butt and call me a biscuit.” I also learned the importance of manors and of course, the

Georgia Tech caught my eye after I received countless amounts of information in the mail, both physical and digital. Even before this, I always knew that Georgia Tech was an outstanding school. With its amazing curriculum in computer engineering and obsession with bees, I was instantly captivated by its rigorous academic . Being focused on innovation and entrepreneurship like the College of Engineering is, I was especially influenced by the fact that Georgia Tech has the largest and one of the best co-op programs in America.

Georgia Tech’s ethos is based on improving the world around us by nurturing innovative young minds that possess a great work ethic and a global outlook. The school is all about having a group of motivated students that want to find betters way to do things. My aspirations are very similar and I cannot find a better place to continue my education. With a strong base in engineering and various STEM fields, there is a wide variety of interesting subjects that I would want to pursue at Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech focuses on fostering innovation towards the greater good and solving problems that would positively impact large groups of people and make the world a better place overall. This is exactly what I am looking to do and that’s why I am interested in attending a school whose goals are aligned with my own.

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.

While attending Kennesaw State University, I was able to participate in the new program that allows for student teachers to spend an entire school year in one classroom. I spent my year long student teaching experience in a kindergarten classroom within the Cobb County District. This experience allowed for me to see all the aspects of being a kindergarten teacher, from working collaboratively with the grade level teachers, participating in creating activities for students with EIP's, attending 504 meetings, parent-teacher conferences, professional development meetings, after school activities, and so much more. Throughout my time spent at KSU, I was able to spend time with a variety of grade levels at multiple schools, therefore, I have gained

I think that the education that Georgia Tech can afford me will allow me the opportunity to help the others in manful and significant ways. The research opportunities, industrial and governmental connections, and top-notch facilities at Georgia Tech allow students to make discoveries and live up to their fullest potentials; likewise, I surmise that Georgia Tech possess the ability to help me live to my fullest potential and to work on some of the most important technical issues in the world. The amount of baffling equipment and research that I could spy through the doors while exploring the campus gave me the insight that Georgia Tech would give me an opportunity like no other to do something with my life. To be concise, Georgia Tech will help

My first week as a freshman at Georgia Southern was something new. For the first time I walked everywhere I went. My legs are completely dead! The heat is crazy down here and is just draining all my energy. Not to mention on my first day of classes I misread my schedule thinking I didn’t have a class until three when it was at two o’clock. Other than that, my week has been really good. I met some new friends, all of my professors are great and, I know my way around the campus so when fall comes I won’t be lost. My goal for this summer is to try to get all A’s so when fall comes around I won’t destroy my grade point average when I have to take four more classes than I am taking now.

Four of my relatives have graduated from Georgia Tech, so I have been raised with an unwavering pride for the school, and if I were to attend, I would be the first female in my family to do so. A degree from Georgia Tech guarantees my future in a career I am absolutely passionate about, and after much research it is clear that Georgia Tech is more catered to my needs and

Everyone has their own story of why they feel they are deserving of being admitted to the nursing program. Whether it was so they could make their parents proud or due to a family history, every person has their own personal reasoning for wanting to be accepted. So what is my story? I could tell you that I am a current sophomore at Georgia Southern University with a 3.98 GPA who is currently involved in The 100 Collegiate Women of America and Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society. These things however do not set me apart from other applicants, but there are two things that do: my life experiences and my motivation. My life experiences are not as extravagant as going on a jungle safari or studying abroad in another country, but these experiences significantly changed my life and helped me chose a career in the nursing profession. One of my proudest achievements and best experiences of my life was the day I received my 100 hour pin from DeKalb Medical Hospital. I had been volunteering at DeKalb Medical for the last two years and it was truly one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It all started at the end of my eleventh grade year when my healthcare teacher had sent me an email telling me of this wonderful volunteer opportunity. Interested I quickly filled out the application and mailed it off as soon as possible. Then one day I received an email saying that I had made it through the first round and I was on to the next round which was the interview process. All dressed up in

1. Beyond rankings, location, and athletics, why are you interested in attending Georgia Tech? (max 150 words)

Georgia Tech is the name I’ve heard throughout my family whenever the topic of universities come up. Many relatives have gone there, and several currently attend. In a way, it’s a big part of my extended family. In other words, I am interested in attending Georgia Tech for the moral and family support that I can’t get anywhere else. From relatives, I have heard that Georgia Tech offers a unique university experience. From extracurricular clubs to education, it helped find the right balance and also helped students fit in among their peers. Campus life is a very important factor to me, and will most likely be a deciding factor between universities. Despite the university’s location, rankings, and athletics already being strong reasons for attending
