Have you ever met someone for the first time, and felt like you knew them since you were born? That is how I felt about my best friend Dede. We both live on E84, on the same floor but never met each other until our Evangelism class last semester. She was friends with a girl that I had met previously but had not seen in a while. She then introduced me to Dede, we talked for a while, and exchanged numbers. I left the religious hall and began to walk back to my dorm. Suddenly, I heard Dede screaming my name so I turned around, there she was bent over trying to catch her breath. We then began to walk together and talk about our experiences at Liberty University. We walked back to the dorm together, and that is how our friendship started.
Throughout my undergraduate career at the University of South Carolina, I continually found myself drawn to internship opportunities
I stood in front of my vanity mirror as I did every morning, a bad but an ineluctable habit of mine. I traced my scar from my eyebrow to my cheekbone with my finger. I suppose most people see scars as a sign of survivor, but all I ever saw was my weakness. I don’t mean to be querulous, I was grateful to be alive, I just seemed to constantly be reminded of my mistakes. I shook my head, wishing I could pinion myself so I could stop obsessing over it. As I was leaving that morning, my cocker spaniel sat like a portier at the front door, his big brown eyes pleading me to stay. I felt bad for having to leave him, so I went to go give him a treat. He knew what was happening as soon as I started walking towards the kitchen and started to jump around
While attending UMD, I have held four different jobs. My main job is a summer internship through Bolton & Menk, Inc. I worked there this past summer and was re-hired for this upcoming summer. My job duties included data entry, construction observation, field measurements, and daily field reports for many multi million dollar road construction projects around the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community and Mystic Lake Hotel. I observed the installation of storm sewer pipes and service entrances in addition to doing field calculations to correct pipe grades. I also observed parking lot and roadway preparation and asphalt laydown. Concrete work was checked and tested for compliance with state regulations in addition to checking string lines for
I fell in love with her at the age of six. Her and I were going to be together forever. When the teacher came up to me and told me how perfect we were each other at the bake sale in second grade, I knew. When I went to fairs to sell cell phone cases with my dad and she was always with me, I knew. As we grew older, the closer we got and the more her and I understood each other. At this point, she had turned into a part of me, it was no longer her and I but rather we. Coming to University of Texas at Austin, has admittedly created a strain on our relationship. I was not sure if our relationship should continue, were we really meant for each other? I did not know her, I did not know how we would change the world, but now I do. This is the story
When I first came to CNU for my interview to get into CNU. They were talking about the leadership program asking me if I knew about it and I did. But I thought to myself why would this great program want me, yes I did same community service and was captain of my Field Hockey team. But I was always the one to support people the one someone went to for help in a class or emotion support because my friends thought I was good at reading people I didn’t believe that, though. Why would this program want me! is what I thought but my family convinced me to apply what is the downside if anything I could tell my family I told you so. Which know looking back I see how completely wrong I was, thinking I was not even going to get into college. When I got
Currently, I am working as a graduate assistant to Dr Melody Eaton, associate director of the graduate program. Dr Eaton is an inspiring woman and provided me many interesting projects to complete. In addition to graduate assistantship, I am doing my practicum at the family practice and pediatric office. This semester I had an opportunity to work with MD and nurse practitioner (NP). This was the first time I had MD as my preceptor. This was definitely an eye opener to me because I noticed a difference in the approach of MDs and NPs. For instance, MD preceptor focused more on diagnosis and treatment while NP on connecting with their patient. Also, I noticed NPs were better able to convince the patient and MDs had deeper understanding of pathophysiology
For the past semester, I have been doing an internship at the Aging and Disability Resource
I am from a small town called Boring, Oregon. However, I have lived in five states since then. My most recent home is Arlington, Virginia. I am an Elementary Education Major. I was homeschooled until college and studied at NOVA community college for one year prior to starting at Concordia. Along with SCI 110, I am taking Art 121, EDU 199, LDR 198, MTH 133 and REL 221. Five years after college I would like to be finished with my master's degree and working full time as a 1st or 2nd-grade teacher. What makes me special is that I have moved every two years since I turned eight, that I have four older brothers, that I have been to 48 of the 50 US States. The people I grew up with and the sites I have seen
“Okay, do you have everything?” My mother seemed to ask me for the tenth time within five minutes. I rolled my eyes and nodded at the older woman.
To start, I am a 22-year old rising sophomore at Winston-Salem State University from High Point, NC. I went to Thomasville Senior High and I loved it. I was the class president my sophomore and junior years, and also won top English student award sophomore year. I was chosen to have a success picture taken and post on the school wall and it is still there today.
For the week of March 7th- March 11th I did my internship at Cape Fear Middle School under the guidance of Coach Bell, Coach Reese and Mrs. Hayes the data manager. The first day of my internship, I helped coach Bell with his computer class assisting any student who needed help. I met a fellow intern Ms. Jessica Fallon who is a student at UNCW, and we both helped coach the A/B gym classes for 6th, 7th and 8th grade. I played the role of the DJ during the warm ups and referee when the groups played capture the flag. Ms.Fallon was the instructor for the exercise part of the classes so I couldn’t help much in that department. Thursday and Friday I was the messenger/ secretary for the majority of the day. That was better than sitting down on a
My journey in attending Howard University was not easy nor smooth sailing. The process in determining whether or not I would be a Howard Bison, was strictly contingent on the financial means of my family at the time.
ay 9th, 2017 was the day that essentially my whole life had changed. Essentially for about ten days straight prior to May 9th, I had checked Campusnet consistently to see the status of my application as a College Credit Plus student at Cleveland State University. Within those ten days, I had thought about all the nights I had dedicated to my education rather than enjoy myself as a teenager. Through out the process of applying to Cleveland State University, I truly doubted myself as I usually do. Many thoughts that most teenagers don't often think about constantly popped up. However, when I checked my campus net account on May 9th at 9:45 p.m., my whole life had changed in what felt like a split second. My heart felt less heavy and I found
Curiosity is what brings me to the University of Michigan. All the sweat and determination and hard work, I have put in all my life will pay off when I get into the school of my dreams. The countless of hours and stress I put myself in will pay off when my job is something I love. My drive is what distinguishes me from everyone else. I have one goal, to have a career I love doing. All along that has been my drive. The only thing is, my goal was too broad. This is because I personally believe it’s hard to make a decision now about what I want my life to be, when this is the time where were barely trying to figure ourselves out. So aside from my goal, my drive was to get good grades, to have the best attendance, to be the best in my class.
