Personal Narrative: Pursuing A Degree In My Life

Going into college, I would like to peruse many of my goals. I would like to start out getting my general studies in and then build up to become a Registered Nurse. After I accomplish becoming a Registered Nurse I would like to work on becoming a Nurse Practitioner. One reason I am striving to complete these goals is to be able to have a good future and hopefully a good job will come out of this. Neither of my parents went to college and I want to be able to accomplish that for myself.

My College and Career goals include graduating college and getting a job. I wish to attend the University of Alabama. I plan to major in occupational therapy or speech therapy. After I graduate with my bachelor's degree I wish to get my master's degree. After I finish my schooling I want to receive a job that allows me to provide for my family. I wish to receive this job in my degree's field. After receiving this job I wish to improve to reach a leadership role.

My personal strengths are that I am a keen learner and organized person because like Benjamin Franklin I believe that if I fail to plan then I am planning to fail. Above all I am confident that I have made the right choice and that I am a suitable candidate for

I made the decision to further my education because I did not want to end up like my older brother. He did not finish high school and also never got his GED. I see him going through numerous jobs and struggling throughout his life financially. Also, my senior year in high school I was assigned a college advisor. He discussed with me all the options I had when it came to applying for different colleges. The best advice he gave me was one that I regret not taking into consideration. He told me that based on my current GPA, there would be a strong possibility that I would not be accepted into the top schools of my choice. Therefore, it would be best if I attended a community college for two years, just to increase my GPA, and then reapply to those

I went through a lot in life as a child. Growing up was not easy as a kid ( especially

I wrote this inspirational and persuasive book to stimulate all college bound student’s career decisions. A stimulated choice means that your college aspiration is prayerfully pumped-up with two of God’s counsels: spiritual enrichment and spiritual empowerment. These two activators serve to remind new college students to put God as their first priority.

At the beginning of my junior year of high school, I made the decision to pursue a different educational path. I left my high school and began the Great Lakes Bay Early College program, allowing me to gain collegiate experience and earn college credits while completing my high school requirements. Being introduced to a college environment at the age of fifteen was both challenging and inspiring. It provided a new set of social and educational circumstances and potential difficulties. Thankfully, I was able to adapt quickly and those challenges

Personal strengths for me would be my strong desire to learn and change, and my persistence. I have been prevented from pursuing my desired education for so long, but I am chomping at the bit to get this done now. Not only am I pursuing a change in career, but I am going towards a field of study that I find interesting. I can be a very stubborn person at times and my persistence mirrors that trait.

I am writing to apply for the Sanford Inspire coordinator position in the College of Education. I completed my PhD in curriculum and instruction at the University of Wyoming last spring and feel that this position is an excellent opportunity at this point in my career. When I began my career in higher education, my aim was to help prepare educators to be more of the needs of their students, while employing research based practices in their classrooms. Therefore, I am applying for the position due to its focus on teacher preparation and the excellent reputation of the Mary Lou Fulton College of Education at Arizona State University, where Sanford Inspire was developed. My experience working in Wyoming schools in a variety of capacities makes me an excellent candidate for the position. Furthermore, my knowledge of UW and the relationships I developed during my doctoral study will benefit my work in the coordinator position. I am also eager to begin the next phase of my career and learn more about

As an adult student at Colorado Christian I'm proud to say that I never thought of even continuing my education. Only due to the fact that I have a child and a full time job. Finding out that I was able to pursue my education online is the next best thing thats ever happened to me. Understanding that I can learn from home and still be a mother has given me so much confidence. I feel like I'll have the degree I desire in absolutely no time.

My educational journeys started while in middle school when I was allowed to peer tutor some of my classmates. During high school, I started mentoring and teaching Sunday school at a local church and the more I interacted with children and learned their diverse behaviors and personalities, the more my love for education grew.

Because of the war in Syria, I cut off from school for a year then I got a high school diploma with grade excellent after that I had a chance, but the harsh conditions passed me prevented me from completing my education at the university. When I found university of the people and educational opportunities that offered by. I was able to join them and achieve my goal to get a college degree.

Last year I took an Access to Higher Education course, it gave me an experience in studying online, I struggled in keeping my work organized and meeting deadlines. I learned to prioritize, dedicate, persevere, and adjust my usual lifestyle to accommodate my studies. However, I developed key study skills which I think have prepared me for this module. I worked with my tutor as well as participating in the study forums, which I used to engage in subject discussions with fellow students. I struggled, sometimes I had to work under pressure trying to balance home life and my studies, this has taught me to stick to my study schedule and not leave things to the last minute. Tutor support and feedbacks helped me to achieve my goals and to develop as

In 1993, Charlie was just finishing up his bachelor’s degree at UofA when The Cooper Union selected Rick with a full scholastic scholarship. Charlie decided he wanted a master in Art and the School of Visual Arts in New York accepted him. Rick found a studio apartment. I put a deposit down and gave them $1300 a month for rent and food and they moved in. The following summer we bought them an air conditioner, delivered and installed it. There was some consternation over putting that big thing in the window, we installed it without issue. Both of them supplemented that income with outside work. Charlie found a job in the Art Directors Club, and we later determined paid for much of the food. Rick worked every summer and saved $1500-$2000 for the next year’s non-housing expenses. They spent the next two years there until Charlie finished his master’s degree. We didn’t hear much from either of them, so we assumed both were deep in study. We found out later we had lost control. Rick spent some time on extracurricular activities (e.g. unscheduled trip to Pennsylvania).

My strengths, I am genuinely quite aware of, however I didn 't realise how apparent it was to my friends how forward thinking I was, mainly strategically and how personable I am, with being open, relatable and understanding
