Personal Narrative: Oregon State University

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

It is Sunday morning in Miami, but for me today is a new beginning where my independence start and I can use my time wisely. Therefore, I decided to travel to the beach, with the windows down having the wind run through my hair and having my favorite song "Independent Woman" play on the radio. The sound of the waves of the ocean it was incredible and peacefully, which reminds me of the feeling of comfort when I am sitting on Brandon. Another example why Brandon is important in my life, it is because, during high school, I spent plenty of time waiting for the bus to travel to work and home, and in today's day time is valuable. However, I lost time being incapable of buying me a car. Missing the bus plenty of times and having to count on my friend

Before coming to James Madison University I had no clue what I wanted to get involved in. Whether it was a club sport, business related group, or a social fraternity I just wanted to be apart of something that was bigger than myself. At the beginning of the school year I looked into tryouts for club baseball, the Madison Investment Fund and rush schedules for fraternities on campus. I quickly found out that club baseball wasn’t for me, at least for my freshman year. I then asked around about MIF and got the sense that you needed a very heavy Economics background and that it was very challenging to be accepted as a freshman. MIF is something I hope to get involved in next fall. In the back of my head I always knew that a social fraternity was what

My personal faith grows daily by my choice to follow my love and savior, Jesus, every day I wake up. It was by no accident that God showed me Liberty University, and has now become a top option in my choices of colleges. I believe in the deep mission Liberty University has to develop Christ-centered believers because it is the same mission I strive to live out daily in my walk as a follower of Christ. My season of life will not always be the same as someone else's, but I pray that what I have walked through and what God taught me in those seasons can give perspective to others. I have grown up always knowing God but not until my sophomore year in high school did I truly start to live that out. I took two opportunities in the past two years

My Northern State University (NSU) American Indian academic advisor, Lara Nelson has inspired me and encouraged me for the two years of my collegiate career to be extremely involved and active in leadership roles. She is the leader of the Native American Student Association at NSU as well, and has encouraged me to be an active participant in the association and consequently, I was elected as the treasurer of the association in September 2016 and I also serve as student advisor on the NSU American Indian Advisory Committee which serves under the direction of the university’s Provost. In these positions, it is necessary for me to communicate and organize so that we can fulfill the organizations goals. We have been instrumental in helping shape

When I first heard about Berry College, I thought it was just another school in Georgia. My friend told me about it and I thought maybe I should look into it. I put it aside for some time until I saw a picture of this beautiful building. I was taken away by the architecture so I looked up the building and realized it was part of Berry College. I feel like in that moment, I felt in love with the surroundings of the school. I looked more into it and saw that it had everything I was looking for. The environment, the classes, and the activities, it was just perfect. So I have to say that I'm attracted to the feel of the campus and the never ending size. I know what I see it's only on the outside, but I can't wait to see what it has to offer inside.

The saying goes “if you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it is yours forever. If it doesn't, then it never was yours at all.” This past fall semester I had to set myself free from the one place I loved to be the most and that was Millersville University. Millersville has been a place that I can whole heartedly call home. From the view of Miller and S’ville at the pond to walking through the SMC to being welcomed by all who see you on campus. I even loved my classes for I had professors who put everything into their teaching and wanted the best for their students. I had to give it all away this past semester and it hurt me so bad.

Simpson Anne. Session1. JournalI feel like my experiences in life have shaped me into the person I am today. I feel that life has it ups and downs. I love God and know he is always there for us. A favorite scripture verse is John 17:16.”They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.”My dad was a minister. I am thankful that I grew up in a strong Christian home. I chose Colorado Christian University because I wanted an academic community that loves God. I feel in my short time so far at CCU that I have grown as a Christian. For example, I have more boldness to witness to people about Christ.What were some assumptions I had about CCU before I started my classes? I assumed that I would not have support from my fellow teachers and classmates.

I interviewed a male Oregon State University (OSU) counselor education faculty member. He received his PhD in December 2013 and has been working for OSU since graduation. He values the lifestyle the western United States offers, therefore he accepted an instructor position at the Bend, Oregon campus. In accepting an instructor position, he has made certain sacrifices; due to his teaching schedule, he has limited time to pursue his research interests, see clients in his private practice, and does not possess significant job security. He feels that as an instructor, there is not enough time to easily achieve a “balance” of his professional interests.

Although many schools claim to be the best, the University of Michigan truly holds this spot in my eyes. When talking to people about it, they always comment on how cold it is, and they wonder why people would ever want to live there. My answer is simple; I was born in Michigan and love everything about it. From the bitter cold, to the prestigious colleges, I take pride in being born here. When I researched great law schools and found one located in Michigan, my attention was immediately

First of all, I would like to tell you a little bit about me and why I chose to attend C.C.U. I am a 57 year old male. I have been married to my lovely wife, for 37 years. We have 4 children and 10 grandchildren. I was working from the time I was 16 years of age until about 3 years ago. The doctors told me I had Cerebellar Ataxia. The Cerebellar is located on the back of the brain. It controls your balance and it also controls your limbs. There is no cure for this disease, and there is no medicine for this. So that is why, I have been out of work for the last 3 years. I now live on Social Security Disability Insurance(SSDI). I received my GED back in 1985, and there shortly after I attended a community college for 1 year. That was quite a time back, I

I remember that it hurt, looking at her hurt. A beautiful line, no doubt, but I mustn’t take credit. I remember seeing her at her best. I remember telling myself that she would get better. I remember seeing what she would post on Facebook and pretending that I thought she wasn’t slowly killing herself. I remember seeing the blades sitting on her desk and throwing them in the trashcan and acting like they didn’t hold any significance, only to repeat the process the next weekend. I remember hearing her stories about falling out of that damned tree and telling myself, “Oh yeah. Those scars could totally be scrapes from the tree bark.” I remember ignoring the brokenness of her smile. I remember not doing anything about it, and I remember foolishly telling myself that it was all in my head.

I ran back into the kitchen in a panic. After that, all my head went to was static. I remember picking up one of few sharp knives I had finished washing a few minutes prior to what I had just witnessed. My heart was racing yet it felt so numb at the same time. I inched towards to Rusty as quietly as I can, slowly raising my arm holding my weapon. “I would’ve preferred you killing me than my baby. But if you want to take away her life, I might as well take away yours.” That was all I managed to get out of my mouth, my final words to the man I once loved, as I proceeded to shank the back of this neck. He stumbled over but had trouble getting back up, causing more of a mess to be made. The sound of glass shattering echoed through the room as I just sat and watched him scuffle. I decided to make the final bold move of stabbing him right where his spinal cord was. The moment when his pathetic lifeless body dropped was the moment I immediately turned around and jolted straight into the cold dark bedroom packing what I could quickly into bags. I casually placed my belongings in front of the door. I strut back to the kitchen, just to pick up a lone rose in a

Fancy cars, fancy baggages, rich kids getting dropped off at the main entrance at Brown University.The majority of the students were from rich backgrounds, their parents had paid for their attendance at Summer@Brown, but I was the only one with a scholarship. Instantly, my mind filled up with doubts about what I was doing in a place where I felt less than others, the inferiority I felt when I saw everyone with their luxurious belongings got me to think that I was not worth enough to even attend my program. Many in my shoes will feel the same as me; inferior in a place where the outcasts are people with a low-income or latinos, but few people will realize that by breaking the barrier between the rich and the poor will open up to new experiences

The next morning I got up, put on a skirt and a blouse, and caked my face with makeup. The whole process was very tiring, since it was five in the morning, but I had to do it. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t fit in with everybody else. So I readied myself for the day and jumped right into the pit of sharks that was high school. This place was my own personal nightmare. I didn’t have very many friends to begin with, and my extreme insecurity only made it harder for me to talk to people. I felt wrong constantly. I wasn’t even there, really. I just stumbled through my schedule, went home and took off the mask, then broke down and started the process all over again. It was like this day after day. I didn’t understand what was wrong with me or why I felt so bad about myself all the time. I had everything. I had friends, few and far between, but people
