Reflective Essay: Pursuing A Career In Graduate School

Throughout the course of the quarter I amplified my capacity to not only write but also to to be able to judge and edit my own writing. In all three projects we were given the chance to make

As a middle child I learned patience, kindness, independence, teamwork; determination and many more that have molded my personality and influenced the way I want to educate children. As a teaching assistant at a local day camp I united all those traits into my work. During the second week of camp, a new boy had started and was hesitant to get involved so I decided to be his buddy for the day. I showed him the routine, modeled activities, and was patient at times when he became frustrated. The bond that I had formed with the student in such a short time was remarkable. Whenever the student walked into the room he smiled when he found me, confided and needed comfort from me when he was sad, and charmed me when we were outside. At the end of his

My experiences and education has played an integral role in molding me into the person I am today. I chose to come to Michigan State because of the opportunities it will provide me. I faced many obstacles in high school and did poorly my first two years due to health issues. Applying to colleges was a major concern of mine, but with the support from my counselors and family I was able to get into a school as prestigious as MSU. I went from a 2.0 GPA my freshman and sophomore year, to a 4.0 GPA my junior and senior. I was very unhappy in the beginning of high school due to my lack of success, relationship with my parents, and health issues. When I finally realized I needed to make a change and started setting goals for myself, that’s when my happiness turned around. I can honestly say that I am the happiest I’ve ever been at Michigan State. I have been able to meet many new people, invited to the Honors College, and accepted into the business school. From this experience I believe happiness directly effects your success.

The environment/atmosphere at the career fair was amazing. The companies were all engaging and extremely welcoming to all of the students, from my perspective. I wasn’t exactly nervous because I prepared questions to ask each of the recruiters ahead of time. My approach went quite well, and I took the steps that were given to me in class. I introduced myself and started to speak about my life at Indiana State, qualifications, skills, etc. (elevator pitch).

The future; after high school, after college, the future is a later time period that will happen in one’s life. For my future I plan to attend college and later become an engineer. College is one of the best choices available for high school graduates to ensure a successful future. Colleges offer specialized learning that when attended can open many opportunities. Two colleges I may attend after high school are Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) or California Institute of Technology (Caltech). After college I plan to choose a career in the field of engineering. Two career possibilities are Aerospace Engineering or Biomedical Engineering. By researching these two universities and two possible careers, I have learned about the many possibilities that lie ahead for my future.

I have also operated as part of a team, for example AUQA audits, scholarship allocations, and large IT projects. Having spent most of my career working in schools and faculties I am well versed in dealing with students, general and academic staff and central units. These include timetabling, graduation, prizes and scholarships, and student and academic administration. I have also provided support to academic staff as required, for example in invigilating assessment items (including online assessment), developing course and subject proposals, reviewing Turn It In reports for potential plagiarism, and enabling advanced Blackboard

I won the Hopwood Award for Poetry (rare for first-years) and the MFA’s Vermont Studio Center fellowship. Nevertheless, my scientific background has left me like a surgeon with dexterous hands but no training—with every poem, I stumble blindly to the operating table. Just as I’ve regretted touching down in a country without knowing its language, I need academic training to do my art justice. MFAs take one graduate-level English course, and in that single semester, examination of the canon expanded my notion of what poetry can do, shifting my attention from single-image poems to ambitious works that centrifuged in a common vial my Southern identity and the persecution of gays abroad. If one seminar can transform my aesthetic, three years of rigorous academic inquiry could work

While not a hugely transformative venture, I have found this semester to be a good vehicle for making my writing more accurate to its intended purpose. Prior to taking this class I did have some experience in professional writing for a few of the jobs I've had in the past, but this class organized those thoughts, gave them name, and pointed out where and how to pursue them. Its been an enlightening experience and provided me with tools I hope to use the rest of my life.

One of my goals is to reapply to Howard University in hopes of being readmitted this time as a Visiting Student in the Fall of 2017 to take courses in Poetry and the award-winning Communications department where many well-known local and national artist professors and communications veterans teach at the undergraduate level.

During my freshman year of high school, I registered for several clubs and instantly discovered an enthusiasm I had for literary magazine and the annual publication, the Bear Scratch. I secured a leadership position as second editor my first year and earned editor-in-chief every year since. The writers and artists entrust me with their raw and often heartfelt words or images and I have an obligation to ensure that their work is represented in a monumental way. As an editor, I’ve also been blessed to work closely with some of our school’s most uniquely, talented students and faculty sponsors. They’ve taught me so much, including things I didn’t know about myself. While we may have never met but for this cause, our love for words and the messages

My whole life I have always wanted to do something where people will remember me. I went threw millions of career choices before I came to the conclusion of a nurse. It’s not something that will get me into History books, but its something where all the people I help will remember what I did to care for them or their loved ones. My mom went to school to become and RN, but dropped out when she became pregnant with me. After that story was told to me, I didn’t want to be anything related to nursing. It wasn’t until my step mom went to school to be LPN that I realized it would be possible for me to do. I saw how much happiness it gave her, and I want the same thing. She loved helping the patients by treating them, and helping their families

While attending nursing school years ago, I was given the choice of continuing my studies in practicing bedside nursing or nursing research. At that time, I desired to practice nursing research, however, I was influenced to practice bedside nursing, which I chose. Promoting the scholarship of application allows me to enhance my knowledge in an area of practice I originally desired.

For the longest time I could not decide on a major and a career to study throughout college. When I came to Georgia Southern University I discovered that they had a major that was very interesting to me. Sport Management id the ideal major for my interest and me. Since I love sports I figured that this would be the career for me. A degree in Sport Management helps to prepare for success in sport related occupations.

Imagine a world with no educational problems? Unfortunately their are too many problems that ties to our education system. The problems that have not been noticed yet are Aiming all students towards college and not career ready , no diversity in AP/college classes and there is no one on one talks between the student and the counselor. Getting to know the students. And adding more vocational classes to bring students more choices or a career for them to pursue as early as possible. South is one of the most diverse schools ever seen, students will say it and teachers as well. I am qualified to talk about this because I am a highschool student and I have been to two different high schools. South is a great school but like all schools it has it problems that can be fixed. Although Denver south high school is doing well in the areas of Diversity and keeping student away from the student to prison

Choosing a right career path can be tough. Especially, when the parents are involved. Parents want their children to have a better life in the future so they want their children to be educated. When they are successfully graduate from the college they can get a high paying job and earn much more than their parents. However, does everyone listen and follow their parents’ decisions about the career? What happen if kids didn’t want what their parents told them to do? Is there a compromise and or one side needs to give in? It was a tough decision for me too. There was a lot of pressure on me. I was hesitated and somehow worried when my parents were involved, but I knew what I want for my career.
