To help alleviate the cost of my Yale trip not covered by scholarship, I worked at my high school over the summer. Here I served on the tech team where I programed computers, Ipads, and laptops. Other times, I set up classrooms by moving desks across campus, from classroom to classroom, or set up modems for computers in the different computer labs.
The reason I’m interested in attending Hood College is because I’ve met many successful individuals who have graduated from here. My mother graduated from Hood in 1990 and she praises this school saying how she received a wonderful education from here. I know she’d be very happy if I got to experience all the greatness that Hood has to offer. Throughout my work experience, I was able to work for a woman that graduated from Hood. Her name is Monica Kolbay and she started her own marketing company called Arachnid Works located in Frederick. While I just clean the office, I see how successful her company is. She is very pleased with the education she received from Hood and contributes it to her success. She’s actually the reason I decided to major
Coming to Virginia Commonwealth University with a major in social work has been one of the best things I have done in the year of 2016. I can remember awaiting my acceptance into Virginia Commonwealth University and instantly choosing to attend. For the remainder of my senior year of high school, I couldn’t wait to pack up and leave for VCU. Before I knew it, it was August 20, 2016, move-in day. Aside from leaving my parents and hometown, I was a bit upset about having to quit my job, the anxiety of being a broke college student hit me before I even stepped on campus. On move in day I was a bit anxious and a little nervous to leave my parents but at the same time I was ready to leave and explore something new on my own.
If I could go back in time and relive a particularly difficult moment in my life, I will work part-time in the weekend in high school. I want to save my money. I want to travel other state. I also want to see my childhood friends. I wish I spend more time to have fun with my friends when I was young. When I first came here I went to school and I didn't how many class I have to take the class and to pass the MACS. I spent one more year to get my diploma. I wish if I know all this I will take class that require. I will go to Middlesex Community College early to practice the MACS because they have MACS class. After I going Middlesex Community College I pass the MACS. It is very helpful to go there. I learned a lot of MACS how to answer the open
I am now the president of our club and the manager of Wolverine Computer. Not only do I direct our shop's efforts to raise funding for our program and for student certification tests, but I also direct Wolverine Computer's training program. I organize opportunities for students to obtain hands-on, real-world practice in an environment that mimics the IT field realistically. Enabling students to receive work experience while still in high school is crucial to preparing students for a career in technology. In addition to certifications and direct work experience, the program also provides high school students opportunities to practice skills that are certainly needed in the technology field. This includes customer service, public interaction, and teamwork skills while allowing students to demonstrate a professional work ethic. The program and our SkillsUSA club have many facets that require great patience and skill to manage. Our SkillsUSA club has over 60 members and actively promotes IT and STEM at our school. Concurrently, students at Wolverine Computer have put in nearly 200 hours of community service in the fall 2016 semester. The proceeds from this community service have helped dozens of students become IT Fundamentals or A+ CompTIA certified and have given much-needed opportunities to students in La
Last week at East, we had students going to the community college two days in a row and a school sponsored blood drive. The county office and community college scheduled the college days for our CTE students and seniors. It was hectic to say the least and the teachers had to be flexible. Some of the drove buses, others covered classes to give our students the opportunity to visit with college representatives and local business owners. By the end of the week, I could sense there was an undercurrent of stress. The feel or pulse of the school was off and by Friday, we had several teachers absent. To show appreciation, and to help combat high staff absents on Fridays I asked for money to buy the staff ice cream and to begin Fun Friday.
My time at Boston College has opened up my eyes to various parts of the country and populations that I had not previously been exposed to and this has greatly shaped how I envision my medical career to be 10 years from now. At this point in the future I will still be starting out, getting the hang of things, learning what I am best at, what I need to improve on, and what I am most passionate about. As of right now, I imagine that 10 years from now I will be a general practitioner in an area of the country with limited access to medical care. This might mean in the mountains of West Virginia, a small town in Mississippi, or a secluded area in Alaska. I will be a doctor in an area of the country that needs doctors the most and I will be forming
In the summer of 2010, I made a journey, a scary one, a novel one, that took me to Yale School of Medicine to participate in the Summer Medical and Dental Education Program. Hailing from Miami, Florida, I settled in New Haven, and learned, in what now feels like a fleeting 10 weeks, that the ache of homesickness can be tempered by the joy that pervaded the halls of my dormitory. As I saw how countless people, differing in - creed, nationality, gender, socio-economic status - migrated to this institution. It highlighted that there is a common thread that is essential to each and every one of us. That that common thread can take a girl from Eritrea, one from Colombia, and one form Nigeria, and forge common ground. I saw during those illuminating
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
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.
Every day I went into work I knew one thing: one of the residents would not know who I was. He had seen me before. In fact, he had seen me more days than not in the last year. He held conversations with me, danced, went out in the community for various events, helped me cook, ate the food I made, and prayed with me every night. Despite that, every day he met me for the first time all over again.
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.
Coming from a disadvantaged background, my community has provided numerous opportunities to ensure I was receiving a quality upbringing. Therefore, I want to provide the same opportunities for other children plagued by financial difficulties. After my father passed away in my sophomore year of high school, I was influenced to give back to my community through the health field. I have since accepted numerous opportunities to improve the community’s health through volunteering at health campaigns, declaring my major in Public Health, and working at the Health Promotion Office at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa.
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
My experience at the arch makes me wonder if the University of Georgia purposefully put up a plaque honoring Confederate students and teachers beside the first black student’s hall. There are many other amazing professors that have gone through the UGA system before 1991, so was this a direct jab at the Hunter and Holmes Hall? Honestly, I do not believe this invalidates anybody’s rights. Ultimately, this just makes people uncomfortable to remember such a dark time in American history. It does not make sense why Athens would want to promote such a horrible memory like the Civil War to outshadow such a great victory for civil rights.
While I was working as Student worker, I assisted Professors in grading and proctoring exams, and run papers in Scantron Machine. I also helped international students register courses at the beginning of every semester.
