Spring Semester: Student Analysis

Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) has an established community living agreement, which directs all its members on how to carry themselves within the institution’s environment, as well as in the community. The institution’s mission is to offer higher education within a Christian community where character is modeled and transformed to express Christian faith. Students who join the institution are expected to maintain good conducts, which are guided by the Holy Spirit.

The last twelve years of my life, I have spent the last four or five years of my life focusing on improving my academics and learning how to become a better person. The one consistent drive that pushed me to succeed academically is my dream of attending Kennesaw State University (KSU). Unfortunately, in today’s economic climate I have to be realistic and factor in out-of-state fees and the impact these fees would have on my family’s financial health. That was until I discovered this amazing waiver that gives out of state students an opportunity to pay tuition as a Resident rather than a Nonresident. The KSU OutKSU Out-Of-State Waiver will make my dream of attending KSU a reality. However, I’m sure many other students have come across this waiver and learned it is not handed out to every applicant; it is limited and should be awarded to the most

Towson University is committed to academic excellence by providing an environment that fosters appreciation for diversity and where creativity and critical thinking are honed for success. These attributes are fundamental to who I am and I believe that my communication and leadership skills will allow me to grow and contribute to the overall experience at Towson University. To support this view I am sharing a story of experiences underpinning important aspects of me that align with the values of Towson University.

The three colleges I have chosen to apply to are Hinds Community College Vicksburg-Warren Campus, Alcorn State University, and Copiah-Lincoln Community College. The reasons I have selected these three colleges are based on location, financially feasible and great reviews I have heard from others about their own personal experience or had a family member who attended one of these colleges. I have a handicap Uncle that I help take care of so I need to be close home in order to help my mother. I have talked with mother and a few friends about my interest and goals and I have their complete support in my endeavors. Also I received great reviews on these colleges from other people and this is how I chose the three schools that will meet my

The experience that I would like to share is when I was a previous student here at CCU. I was taking classes online and was finally figuring out how to balance work, family life, and school. I was having a difficult time a few weeks with my work schedule and completing my assignments. I had a disagreement with my instructor on the late policy and ultimately decided to quit my studies here at CCU. I transferred my credits to Grand Canyon University and started online classes there. Once I was well into my studies I quickly realized that the grass wasn’t greener on the other side. I began having a hard time turning in assignments late. I prayed to our heavenly father about what to do in my life. I was offered a new position at work that would

A true scholar is one who is able to extract from a learning experience, a holistic and well-rounded interpretation and a world view. Enrollment at GCU, presents the student with an opportunity to pursue that ideal. With the embodiment of the four pillars offered; “academic advancement, Christian camaraderie, extracurricular excellence and wellness and well-being”, (Grand Canyon University, n.d.), one is given the best opportunity to become an even more well-rounded individual. This is what makes the difference by comparison to a non-faith-based university; a belief and a system that operates on the premise that a “quality education coexists with faith in the 21st century” (Grand Canyon University, n.d.). Here, there is a focus on delving

When I was seven, I had to witness my older brother be kicked out of the house. This was such a traumatizing experience because my older brother was my role model. Additionally, as a young child, my little sister and I were frequently home alone due to my parents always working double shifts. Thus, once my brother left, I had to take on his responsibilities; consequently, I learned how to be a leader at a young age. This experience has allowed me to develop values such as excellence, leadership, truth and service that will contribute to the vision and legacy of Howard University.

The article “To Err Is Wrong” by Roger Von Oech, “In Praise of the F Word” by Mary Shelly, and “Zero” by Paul Logan are inspirational to many people because it shows them that failure is not a roadblock and you can learn from your mistakes. Failure plays a significant role as a motivational tool, direction, and strength to help students to be successful in the class and in the future.

I would like to start off this letter of appeal by thanking you for the opportunity to explain my past mistakes and outline my plans for improvement in upcoming semesters.

How would I use my unique talents or abilities to address a school or community issue? I as of now am the class president of my 7th grade, Hastings Middle School class. In ways to make my school better, I always attend school officer meetings, and listen to my peer’s wishes and hopes. However, one thing I have learned is the fact that you can only do so much for your school realistically. For example, as of writing this, my school has banned water bottle flipping. Water bottle flipping is something with enough work and dedication, I can change. An example to what I can’t change are school lunches. The school already has a certain food supplier, certain food-related staff, and certain menus. To try to change this would be to disrupt many parts

This previous fall term, was my first semester at Pierce College. I was rather excited to finally start college, until it was time to finally register for my classes. During registration, I could get only three out of the four classes I had needed. The fourth and final class was

With vivid images of failure in my mind, I pushed myself harder than ever before with one goal in mind: to be the best that I could be. Driven not by a fear of failure, but of not being able to make the most out of my life, I was able to achieve both first rate grades and personal pride in my work. Without my resolution to succeed, I would never have stepped outside my comfort zone and gained both the knowledge and experience that accompanies.

For this semester, my main goal is to just study harder for all of my classes than I did for the previous semester. I may have maintained good grades in the previous semester, but I just want to push myself harder and dedicate myself into school than I did before. Since my major is Nursing, it is really important that I work the best of my ability to do well in school so I can make it to the nursing program here at CSU Stanislaus. Now that I have gotten a taste of what college is like and how harder it is going to be as my time here at this university progresses, I want to do everything in my power to study hard and make it all worthwhile in the end. When I think about college, I also think about money. My parents are spending so much money

With the understanding that a semester exchange experience requires a high level of independence and flexibility, tell us about a time when you demonstrated both of these characteristics. Be as specific as possible. Please respond in 500 words or less.

Epic Failure: The Road to Success is Paved with the Stones of Failure. Thomas Edison Said, “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” I guess it’s a good thing Nikola Tesla did not give up or we would not have AC power. Failure is a fact of life and the lessons learned by failure cannot be taught in any college. The only true failure is the act of giving up. Today I will talk about one of my most epic fails in my real estate business. There are four basic steps to my business plan. They are research, purchase, rehab, and rent. My very first acquisition I had not quite refined my plan and it ended in failure. The remarkable thing is that it was my first lesson in the business. These lessons come often and I continue to recognize them in greater frequency.
