Reflective Essay: Agnes Scott College

Many of the reasons I would like to go to Agnes Scott stem from my personal values. Tradition, community, and a good education are important to me and I feel that Agnes Scott can provide all of these. In addition, I would value the unique experience of attending a women's college. But most of all, I would love to use your college’s Science Center, which houses equipment usually only available at large, impersonal state universities.

One day I was ask to transfer Mrs X from bed into wheelchair. Mrs X is paralised so to transfer her a full body hoist is needed. I had to call for help, it wouldn’t be safe to do this by myself. So while I was waiting for the other carer to arrive I have explained to Mrs X what and how we are going to do it. I have also cheked the hoist and battery if its fully charged and operational. I put right size sling on Mrs X with her cooperation. I carefully manovered hoist close to bed, then I hooked sling onto the hoist with short hooks on to of the body and long hooks on bottom. That was when my collegue arrived to help me with transfer.We asked Mrs X if she is ready when she said yes by pushing

UNC Charlotte has made a significant impact on my undergraduate career because this campus has an abundance of resources, a helpful staff, a diverse atmosphere, and plenty of opportunities for campus involvement. This university has a variety of staff, all of which have been helpful in my college experience. They are excellent about working with students so they can gain the most out of their educational experience. For example, when I have sought out more information on which portion of Spain to go to, so that I may improve my Spanish fluency, my professor was extremely helpful. She sat down with me and explained about what it is like living in Spain, tips for where to go, and what to expect from the different regions. This valuable information

When first brainstorming what topic I was going to pick for each annotated bibliography, it took me a while before I settled on a topic for each essay. While reflecting on my writing process, I came to the conclusion that more time would have definitely benefited my argument for each of these annotated bibliographies.

My desire was to challenge myself and pursue my belief in life-long learning. And yes, the last eight weeks have definitely been a challenge intellectually in IDS 101. After the first two weeks of school, I seriously questioned why I would go back to school at fifty-one years of age for personal satisfaction. The days were long and I wasn’t sure I still had the self-discipline and determination that would be needed to finish. Over the last eight weeks, this class gave me numerous opportunities to hone my skills in critical thinking, research, and writing. This class has given me the necessary skills to continue toward completing my degree.

During the next couple years of my life, I plan on graduating high school, and with the help of a grant, attending Clackamas community college for two years. During these two years, I will be a student and be working in order to save money for the rest of my schooling. While I am studying at Clackamas community college, I will be studying under their engineering programs in order to get a head in my Engineering career. After the two years of community college I will be attending a in-state college with an engineering program.

Texas A&M constantly reminds me and encourages the students to be a part of something bigger than themselves. This is important because it gives each student a feeling of responsibility to leave this campus better than they found it. At most colleges the students only have the common ground of attending the same university, however at Texas A&M its more than just a university but rather a family. This is one of the major aspects that brought me to A&M, I had heard about the Aggie family and how it is unlike any other college in the nation. In my years here, I have experienced the Aggie family and watched how strangers are bonded just knowing they make up a family together. Each member of a family has responsibilities to help out and serve their

Marywood University prides itself on the strong liberal arts core that is incorporated into the curriculum for each of the school’s different majors. According to the university’s mission statement, the liberal arts core provides a “comprehensive learning experience”. It is designed to guide college students by providing them with specific course requirements in addition to the major-specific curriculum. The standard liberal arts courses usually fall into the categories of English, philosophy, and social sciences, and, as a Catholic university, Marywood also requires its students to take at least two religion courses. This wide range of courses supplies students with a versatile education as well as a thorough set of writing and critical thinking

I have spent a great deal of time researching the college that would fit my lifestyle and able to offer tailored programs to fit me. Finally, I decided on Empire State College (ESC), the reason being, ESC’s capability to work in the capacity that I am seeking. The fact that ESC also has a great Military/Veteran program is an enormous plus, and something that I require in a college. Another feature that drove my decision to apply is I will have the opportunity to gain credits from my life experiences. This is a remarkable feature. I have always held the belief that the experience one gains in their career is just as, and at times more, valuable as what one receives in a classroom.

To begin her Talladega College experience correctly, Pauline has had the pleasure of sustaining impressive grades in every class. She is able to keep her overall class scores up by committing as much time as needed to complete all of her assignments. For instance, when she was assigned a personal essay by her English teacher, Ms. Lawler, instead of waiting until the night before to start on the paper, she began the same day that it was assigned. By doing this, Pauline was making sure that she had an ample amount of time to get her work done, and was still able to finalize the essay and make any changes that were required. Also, keeping high grades in her courses can be credited to Pauline not being afraid of asking questions and seeking help

Hopkinsville is a small town where schools and churches spin a web of contacts in which natives can find one another by tugging on the correct thread. The intimate nature between my school and the community provides me with worthy yet insular opportunities to volunteer, such as collecting for canned food drives, serving at school fundraisers, and working sports concessions. However, I prefer volunteer work that is continuous, serves the community at large, and satisfies my desire to learn and teach. Discovering such a position outside the well-worn paths was exacting. After searching through various community organizations, I found my solution in the Boys and Girls Club of Hopkinsville. There, I could satisfy my interest in teaching and serving my community, while pushing the edges of my comfort zone.

Your empathy and caring messages of encouragement remind me of just how grateful I am, and how fortunate we all are, to be part of this truly special

When presented with the word community I think comradery, a group of people whom give one a sense of belonging. According to Webster’s dictionary a community is defined as “a body of people having common rights, privileges, or interests, or living in the same place under the same laws and regulations. According to that definition I felt like it was easy for me to identify with various communities all at once.

For me, the impact of Agnes Scott’s all-female community is found in its unparalleled ability to facilitate strong connections and feelings of solidarity between women, while empowering its students to pursue fields of study where women are traditionally underrepresented. Moreover, alumni memoirs have conveyed to me that Agnes Scott’s community bestows both confidence and the motivation to succeed as a working professional. Finally, Agnes Scott’s diverse campus, where multicultural communities gather and learn from each other through such programs as the International Student Association (ISA), gives me a vibrant and welcoming community to look forward
