Personal Narrative: Pursuing A Degree In My Life

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.

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 education and career goals are to get an early childhood education degree from the University of Alaska, receive my teaching license, and hopefully find a job with Head Start or perhaps one of the public schools in Anchorage. I hope to achieve this within four years. I am returning to college after a 35 year break in which I had an acting career, got married, had two daughters and taught preschool classes in the Minneapolis park system for 13 years. My goals in teaching are to engage children in learning with scientifically based curriculum and use my talents and experience in music, creative drama and the arts to enhance my lesson plans. I have found that young children respond energetically and enthusiastically when lessons walk hand in

Another skill that was a strength for me was handling my responsibilities. I answered this skill as being able to perform this extremely well. I responded this way because one of my positive attributes is that I am very accountable for everything that I have to handle in life. I feel that I fulfill my responsibilities as a student, daughter, athlete, employee, and godparent to the best of my ability, while taking into consideration that I have to balance

In the previous years, I have made the decision to work concurrently with my education. I have been working as a waitress in a local restaurant for years. My parents were opposed to my working since they wanted me to focus on my grades, but I wanted to lessen the financial burden for them. Both of my parents never received an education and they wanted me to solely focus on school to secure myself a better future despite our poverty.

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

The progression of my education goals are as follows: My short term educational goal is to accepted as a nursing student here at York Technical College. My next goal will be to graduate from the nursing program as a Registered Nurse.

I look back at how I write. I actually changed my way after I get into college. When I was in high school, we don’t have writing class, the writing is combined with Chinese class. So we might just take 2 or 3 times writing class each semester. In the writing class, teacher taught us how to write, how to generate our idea. But except writing class we are asked for write, the only writing we need to do is for the exam. In the writing class, I would give some time to think about what I’m going to write, maybe I would write a outline. But for the exam, I don’t have time to do that. The writing part take 40 percent of the grade, but the time we got is depend on how fast we can finish the other parts of the exam. When I finish other parts of the

So now here I am. The Tribe was able to fund me in continuing my education, and I’m finally able to attend college. I never thought that I would make it to college. I was always beating myself up for having a GED and giving up in School. My first day of college in January, was filled with anxiety. I thought I was going to faint. But I survived. I now I’m enjoying the college life. Although it’s not much of a fabulous life. It’s challenging, stressful, intimidating, intense, but also fun. I want to encourage my children to never give up. I also want to remind them about how important school is just like my grandpa did. That getting an education is important. That without one they would struggle like I had. And reflecting back to when I was a

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.

Once I hit fourth grade, school from then on all the way to my very last day of senior year in high school was a very difficult journey. Not only was I difficult for me but also I had made life for my parents very difficult. In school I was always more concerned with girls and my year round swim team. I was one of those student who would never do their homework, however I would get A’s on the majority of my quizzes and test. Once I graduated high school I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt like a free man. I felt like I was going to finally be in full control of my path. Once I graduated high school, I felt confident and empowered to decide what next step I wanted to take in my education. My parent were just relieved that I had graduate and were thankful that I was even entertaining the idea of going to college. I kissed a full ride swimming scholarship out the window because I couldn’t commit myself to my grades. Even though I was a nationally ranked swimmer, I essential had no future in swimming without getting into an elite college known for swimming. These ramifications taught me to take the next step more seriously, which ultimately are the main reason why I try my best to get good grades in college. If someone would have told me that I would make the Dean’s list in college when I was in high school, I would of laughed at them. The choices I made in the past and feeling the ultimate freedom has influenced me to take a different direction in my education.

My college education has helped prepare me for this position. Through out my education, I had to take a few Middle School Methods classes. During these classes, we were asked to create lesson plans and then teach them to Middle School students. We also learned about the Common Core State Standards for Middle School as well as their developmental processes. A second experience that has prepared me to teach Middle School was my special education student teaching. During this caseload, I had four sixth grade boys that I worked very closely with. I went to their classroom and listened to the lessons that were being taught and then I worked with them in a small group setting to complete the task at hand. By being able to listen to the lessons

When I enrolled in HHCS in 2008 as a new high school graduate, I was really excited to start my academic path to a superior education. In my family is really important to get a degree, mostly because it represents more than an academic achievement, it shows you can commit with yourself to pursue what you want in life

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.

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
