Personal Narrative: Starting School At UNH

Coming to school every day as a tenth grader was exciting, but it can get very annoying at times. I had to overcome many challenges to make it this far. Generally, freshman year was a year of change. One of the greatest things I learned as I reached sophomore year, was not to procrastinate.

This year, 2016 and 2017, was my first time at Early College High School. I was very worried and scared at the beginning of the year, but now, I am more comfortable at this school. From re-dos to essays, I have learned a lot this year from my English class. There are many things that I will forget, however, there are also memories and actions I will keep. Lastly, there is advice that I will provide for the upcoming sophomores.

Tumultuous is the word I would use to describe my personal transition to the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Maybe tumultuous exaggerates my experience slightly, but I did endure my fair share of highs and lows. I was born and raised in Appleton, Wisconsin which is about three hours from Eau Claire. As much as I thought I was prepared to leave the safety of home behind, I soon realized that my sense of security was false. It was probably week five that I had a little meltdown; I seriously questioned whether I wanted to be at Eau Claire or not. I’m an English Education major and examining the Appleton Area School District, and surrounding communities reveal that many of the educators in my desired teaching area graduated from Oshkosh. I

Coming to college is hard. You have to keep your grades up through 13 years of public education. You also should obtain a car to get from point A to point B. This also requires having a job to keep the car fueled and money in your pocket to live off of. Motivation is also a tricky thing to pin down. It seems to appear when you don’t need it, and then just vanish when you need it the most. And organizational skills, what are those? These are some of the challenges I faced when deciding to go to college.

It happened all through-out college. I had always heard stories about body-shaming with overweight individuals, but I never thought that it would happen to myself or the millions of other young women on college campuses.

Going into college, I knew that there will be an abundance of life lessons learned, but I did not ken that I would be able to absorb so much in such a short duration. This past year in college, I gained vital skills and grew stronger mentally. College is a place where everyone learns from their failures and successes, and with that, there are numerous things to learn from that. My experiences in college edified me how to work with others, communicate with professionals efficaciously, and make perdurable relationships. In addition, being away from home and living in an unfamiliar environment without my family availed me to become independent. Surviving on my own, I learned to make my bed, cook, do laundry, clean up after myself, and more. College taught me skills beyond the classroom, and it withal a leeway to becoming independent away

The journey to becoming a student at Jones Technical Institute started a long time ago. I was academically expelled from Ball State University after my freshmen year. College was an undertaking I should have never tried simply because I was not mature enough to handle that kind of responsibility. It is not like I drank and partied all the time, I simply just did not go to class. For the rest of 2007, I was searching for work. I sent applications into every temporary agency in the City, and felt like I applied to every job opening there was, but sadly I never heard anything back. That failure to find a job led to one of the most exciting experiences of my life.

There are two main goals that I would like to achieve by the end of my first semester of college at Youngstown State University. First, I would like pass all of my courses with at least a B. Second, I need to realize that I am paying for this expensive college education so I need to go to class regularly and be prepared to learn. These are my two personal goals that I wish to achieve by the end of my first semester of college at Youngstown State University.

For as long as I can remember I have dreamed about becoming a student at the University of Arizona. I was born in Tucson and as a little kid I would always look at “A” mountain and believed that one day I would be a wildcat. Though I was not raised in Tucson I lived fairly close, I come from a small town Mammoth, Arizona. Many people from this town after they graduate from high school usually get trapped into working at the Asarco mine. I knew that I did not want to work there.

"From distance even bumpy roads look smooth". Every year people like me, right now, dedicate hours and a lot of effort in applying to college. But the thing is that I never understood why so much dedication? I have never taught what I wanted to do with my life after High school. Obviously, I knew people graduated from High school, but I just was focusing on the freedom after it not the part of going back to study. I never felt pressure to give my best for the future.Two years ago I moved to the U.S from Puerto Rico to Boston, Massachusetts. One day after my work I was on the train and it stops in front of one of Boston College and I could hear the student talking about a project, I heard one of them saying "Even though I may not like right now this

My first year starting out at Edinboro University was very hard. Coming to college was very challenging. Edinboro University is known for being a school to accommodate students with disabilities. During my last year in high school Edinboro university had a representative come to my high school to talk to me regarding their school and why I should go there. My disability was asthma. I went to visit the campus and I saw how well they do accommodating students with disabilities. They also gave me a scholarship. My first year I was very nervous because this was a university it was not high school. Starting out it was very challenging.

The most challenging part of my first semester at Long Beach State was managing the work load and getting accustomed to the college life. My classes were difficult; I would spend a tremendous amount for time working on homework that I would not have much time to go to club meetings or hang out with my friends. I addressed the problem by going to office hours and getting extra help. In addition, I asked people in my dorm building if they could tutor me. I eventually got accustomed to the work load and balancing school and my social

During this past year, in the fall I transferred to Oklahoma State University from Rose State College. I was not sure how this transition would work out, but in the end, the transition went very smoothly. During my first semester at OSU, my schedule worked out where I would only have classes Tues-Thurs, which I enjoyed because I had extra time to work on homework on Mondays and Fridays. During my second semester, I had classes every day of the week, which was not favorable but that was the only option that worked with my schedule.

Believe or not, a snap chat story is what introduced me to NYU. I had a classmate whose family had to move to the United States. My friend’s sister got admitted into NYU. NYU for her was everything in life and now I understand why.
