Personal Narrative: Waking Up At Murray State University

I hold a bachelor of science in Civil Engineering, General Option, from California Polytechnic University, Pomona. As a Cal Poly Pomona graduate, I have experienced team work, hands on projects, and leadership. During my school experience I have gained a deep understanding and established a strong background of Civil and construction engineering.

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

During my two last years of high school, i've been in contact with a lot of colleges and universities. Many of which don’t get my attention. Throughout my whole high school years, there was only one college that i wanted to go to, Liberty University. I have heard so many wonderful things about Liberty and what i loved the most was that it was a christian school. Liberty had the number one thing that i am looking for in a college, that is a christian school, but many of my other things that i look for in a college where just not there. I used to live in Florida approximately 11 years ago and let me tell you, it's hard not to miss the sunshine state. Liberty is in Virginia, a state where it doesn't feel like home. When i received a brochure

In my last two years of highschool I duel enrolled St. Petersburg Community College, my local community college. In my senior year I decided to take online classes due to the very long drive to the nearest campus. I ended up taking Calculus with Analytic Geometry and two other classes online. My Calculus proffessor did not teach or provide any materiel to learn from other than the text book and homework questions. For the first quarter of the class I did well and completed all the assignments easily; however, the class got harder and the textbook no longer provided me with enough information to complete the assignments. I struggled through this part of the class and had a hard time mainting my grade which I wanted to keep as high as possible. After several trips to the campus for tutoring and spending hours trying to find other external resources I began to learn how to solve the problems and brought my grade back up and finally passed the class with an A.

In light of being denied the Federal Pell Grant from applying for the FAFSA, I will now rely upon grants from scholarships I have been applying for. Along with my own money from future jobs and my family's contributions to my education. For the past year and still continuing, I have received money from my family in order to save up for college. Money that I received during daily responsibilities around the house. No matter the quantity, due to the fact that I am unemployed. For the reason that I have been entirely focusing on my high school education since I am still in High School and in the ACE Program. Nevertheless, I plan to obtain a job in the near future to aid my education in Chandler-Gilbert Community College. Whether that job is in

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

I would be lying if I said Rock Valley College was my first choice when it came down to choosing a place to continue my studies. Then again, like many others students, I didn’t have a

Last year was my first year as a college student. After much anticipation, I was finally starting my university career and studying what I wanted. Classes started and everything was okay, but deep down I knew I wanted to study away from home. When graduating high school I had decided to stay, thinking it was the smartest decision since going to college is not the easiest transition and adding going to another country would have been too much for me. But two weeks into my first semester I decided to start my research.

Looking back at my life to where I am now. I can honestly admit if I did not come to Community College my life would have been different. Here at community college I have made the most out of my experience I not only saved a significant amount of money but, furthermore I have grown not only with myself but with my grades as well. I struggled with a numerous of things in high school. However here at college I actually took the time to listen and observe. I have made friends and individuals that I can honestly call my family. I have taken the initiative to progress in my chosen fields.

If I could go back in time and relive a particularly difficult moment in my life, I will work part-time in the weekend in high school. I want to save my money. I want to travel other state. I also want to see my childhood friends. I wish I spend more time to have fun with my friends when I was young. When I first came here I went to school and I didn't how many class I have to take the class and to pass the MACS. I spent one more year to get my diploma. I wish if I know all this I will take class that require. I will go to Middlesex Community College early to practice the MACS because they have MACS class. After I going Middlesex Community College I pass the MACS. It is very helpful to go there. I learned a lot of MACS how to answer the open

       On Thursday, August 20th 2015 I was accepted into College of Southern Nevada. On Friday, August 21st, 2015 I arrived onto the CSN West Charleston Campus at around seven o'clock in the morning to be one of the first people to take the math, reading, and writing placement tests for the day. After I took the placement tests, I went to the Student Recruitment office and spoke to a woman named Kimiko Walton. I told Kimiko about what happened to me and she recruited me. Afterwards, I purchased my textbooks from the bookstore (a typical mistake made by college freshmens). As I existed the double doors of the CSN bookstore, I told myself: "Nobody can give me the life I deserve expect myself..." On

I have found myself trying to figure out ways to get my students at Rose State College to engage in a goal seeking mindset in the past. I love the explanation of giving your team a sheet of paper and allowing for personal goals following their team goals. I feel that sometimes we as individuals lack communication, and remain distant when involving personal life within the work place. However, I soon found this to be a crucial point for not only myself, but for my students, and future team environments. This approach allows for growth, success, and much more of a positive outcome. Meanwhile, trying to get my college freshman to care about their future I decided to require a weekly journal involving their current life. They found this

Life is timed and things happen for a purpose. One day when I look back at the time that I began gaining ownership of my life, I will remember of Houston Community College (HCCs); despite the downfalls I experienced regarding my academic achievements. In this journey, every person that I had the opportunity to spend some time with, thought me a something. However, there is one that although we spent just one semester, it felt like a life. And I call her the professor who changed my life. She was my instructor from the introduction to communication class “Speech 1301,” her class helped to boost my confidence and shaped me into a person that I am today. Transferring will open doors to new experiences, new challenges and it will be one step ahead

On the February 14th, I attended the student success at Hennepin Technical College. I got there around 0800 and met up with some of my fellow classmates there. Also, since we got there early, and there was nothing to do beside the small tables and activity. Therefore, we decided to do some activity and went to some small tables. I was lucky enough to win candy from one of the table, get a chance to get massaged on the back, massage on the foot, and played a bowling video game in Wii. I asked us to take a group picture together as a group for memories and we did (picture is attached on the second page) but then there was some students that was busy doing other activity. Therefore, we just took the picture without them.

The four of us decided to walk down to John’s house, some three miles down the mountain. Back then there were no cell phones, and we were in the middle of nowhere. As we walked on the side of the road, the many passing motorists gave us some very strange looks. I am sure they were wondering what had happened to a bunch of beat up looking teenage kids with dirt, sand, blood, and torn up clothes. After a few hours I was finally able to get a ride home. It took a while for my neighbors to
