Personal Statement: Transferring To A New School

It may seem irrational to some that after less than a semester at Delaware County Community College, I have decided to leave. Many would ask, "why not stay for one more semester?" For me, that is not an option. I have made up my mind and believe my reasoning to be more than enough for me to seek to continue my education somewhere else.

While in high school, I took advantage of office hours and after school programs that were offered on campus. When I transition to community college, I got involve with programs including but not limited to; EOP, Dream Weavers, the writing and math center, the library, and tutors who provided help via the EOP office. My college grades are a merely reflect my academic achievements. They also synonymous with challenges I faced while being a student at the community college level. As I began my first few years in college, it was absolutely tedious and at time confusing because I was unaware of career counselor guidance, financial aid opportunities, and even lacked the social support to continue my studies. I did not let these challenges affect

I am transferring for a variety of reasons. The most important reason is that I'm not happy where I am at right now. College is talked about as a place where you'll have to work hard, but also as a place where you'll have fun and experience new things and find out who you are. Yes, I've worked hard and yes, I've explored new things, but I'm not enjoying myself like I thought, I'm not happy where I am. The school I now attend doesn't offer me the opportunities that it promised me and the ones I am seeking. It is small and lacks ... Transferring is the best decision for me because I know that where I stand now I am not fulfilling my potential and I know that there is more out there for me to accomplish. I hope to gain not just an education,

Moving to college was one of the biggest and most terrifying moments of my life so far. I was absolutely terrified to move out on my own and move away from the life I had always known. But moving away to college has been the best decision I have ever made. I have had an amazing college experience so far. I have met so many people and have been challenged in ways I never even thought possible. I have accomplished some great things like joining Sigma Eta Rho which is a professional fraternity for health professions. I also received the opportunity to become a part of their leadership team. I have joined a group on campus called StuMo, which stands for student mobilization. The goal of this group is to build spiritual leaders for Christ from the college campuses of the world. These things are only a preview of all the things college has brought me, but one of the

We just moved to a new house and, we're at a new school. Hopefully, the people at the school are nice. If so then I'll ignore them, or try to help them, I don’t know which. I guess only time will tell.

During freshman year, I hope to step out of my comfort zone. I feel as if I have lived in a “Northeast Jackson bubble” for my entire life, and I am ready to experience life in a new and exciting place. I have gone to Jackson Academy for a majority of my life, and I would not trade the experiences I have had at JA for anything. The teachers and students here are incomparable and have taught me so much both academically and socially. One thing Jackson Academy lacks is a diverse student body. At least ninety-five percent of the students at JA are Caucasian and have very similar socioeconomic backgrounds in the Jackson metropolitan area. Transitioning from high school to college will be a challenge because I have gone to school with most of the

For as long as I can remember, since graduating high school and becoming a mother, I have aspired to return to school and get my Bachelor’s Degree in Business and Human Resource Management. It has always been a dream of mine. I hope by furthering my education, I will inspire my children to put forth their best effort, and that they will be more eager to get the most out of their education. My experience thus far, has been a compelling time for me. During the first two days of school, I was a basket case, my thoughts were all over the place. By the third and fourth day, my nerves finally calmed down. I was able to comprehend a little more about e-Campus, and what was expected of me. Currently in week three, I am feeling more confident

n the first place I was starting the new school year. I thought that I wouldn’t have to work that hard because of my intelligence level. I thought that I could easily make it through the school year without breaking a sweat but, I was wrong.

I would like to think that I had some significant growth as a writer in my first semester as a college student. My rhetorical analysis essay, persuasive essay, and reflective analysis essay were all very different from each other in how I approached them and felt about them, but each one helped me grow as a writer in different ways. The rhetorical analysis was my first college essay so I felt some extreme self-imposed pressure to do well on it. I really enjoy writing persuasive essays because it causes you to form your own opinions and support them with evidence. My least favorite essay would most likely have to be the reflective analysis essay. I absolutely despise sharing my thoughts and emotions with people, let alone writing them. Beginning the essay was extremely difficult for me. However, I did found it to be the easiest essay to write once I had all my ideas gathered together. The point is, these three essays all had their pros and cons to them, but nonetheless, they each helped me grow as a writer in their own way, which helped me reach many of the stated outcomes for this class. This paper examines some of my work in these essays and describes how I was able to reach some of the course objectives.

There are a lot of topics you aren’t supposed to write about in college essays. There are certain subjects that are best avoided at school. There are things that shouldn’t be discussed around the dinner table. From athletics to sex, religion and politics, a trip abroad, or an experience helping the “disadvantaged” it is often in one’s best interest to avoid these affairs.

Hello Leslie, I am also going to transfer Cal State Long Beach too after Cypress College. For my opinion, working with kids is hard thing to do. That impressive you worked in Buena Park as a recreational leader and become psychology major.The thing is I lived in Cypress and right close to Buena Park. And I really like dogs, but I never had one and hope you becoming child psychologist

My dad moved to a new state and enrolled me into a new school, it was already hard for me in my last school, so I had to face new obstacles. That means with new friends and new people talking stuff and cracking jokes, and new teachers. Facing new obstacles can be really different cause everything will I will have to face new schools n teachers and students, when I have already got used to my last school. Everything is so different and confusing cause I don`t know anyone or anything about anyone , but yet everything so far has been great and I am getting used to everyone and all of the new teachers, and the way they teach, and all of the students, and classmates. But although I moved schools my new school had new waxed and polished floors, and

While writing a compelling college essay may seem to be a daunting task at first, I believe that the key to generating a unique and moving topic is dedicating effort early in the writing process to personal reflection on your goals and motivations. Often, in writing personal statements for colleges and other applications, I set aside time to dedicate to focused reflection about events or moments in my life that illustrate my values or identity. In terms of the mechanics of an effective personal statement, I typically utilize the “zoom in, zoom out” method, which involves recounting a specific anecdote early in the essay, and then demonstrating how this anecdote contains lessons that apply to greater aspects of your motivation or identity. Through

I am currently a junior enrolled in my first semester at San Diego State University as a Liberal Studies major with an emphasis in literacy. I am currently on track to graduating in Spring 2018 and will be applying for the credential program at San Diego State University once I graduate. I am very excited to continue my educational journey as a transfer student. Liberal Studies is the perfect major for me because it will be the best way to get to my goal of being an elementary school teacher.

Leaving your friends is a hard thing. Starting fresh at a new school is tough. However, choosing to do those things is the hardest.
