Trinity College Student Analysis

Throughout a majority of my academic career, I was a straight-A student. My grades were an extremely important thing to me; I reasoned that my grades were representative of my success and if I didn’t earn an A, then I was a failure. I cried and called myself a failure when I received my very first B. Catching my first glimpse of the B for the first time, my heart sank. ‘All of my hard work - for nothing!’, I thought to myself. I didn’t believe that I could have done better. After the second B, I considered that perhaps grades weren’t as important as I had originally thought. As time went on from my first B to my fourth, my heart sank less and the tears dried up. I began to notice the things I was doing wrong and used that information to turn

Overall, I believe that being well-educated means being true to oneself by embracing the skill set that one is best at. Having passion and interest for something amplifies how far we can advance in doing a task or job. It's like Kohn's wife who is a doctor but does not know her multiplication table. That lack of knowledge does not make her less smart or less able to do her job. We should not let test scores and grades define how educated we are. Knowledge is power and there are many ways to obtain

From the start of time, to present day, the only way to achieve almost anything this world is to have an education. But, who decides if you’re properly educated, and where does this education come from? What it means to be educated is perceived differently by everyone. To me, education focuses on the mind. But more specifically, factors and characteristics that shape one’s mind. To be educated means one should have the ability to think critically, show respect, and have a level head while obtaining some overall knowledge.

My personal experience as an undergraduate has shaped and shifted my career path and interests as it does for some traditional undergraduates, but for me it was not particular class or passionate professor that inspired my new found interest, but rather, my experience outside the classroom. My interaction with the staff at Arizona State University and my involvement as a student leader has had a profound influence on my college experience and has driven me to pursue a career in higher education.

Academically at Trinity College, I will pick courses where I will learn topics I am passionate about, that will align with my interests in psychology, sociology, and medicine offered. With the rigor of the courses, I will be able to expand my critical thinking skills and open up my curiosity for topics I was not exposed to during my high school career. I will dig

Fitness is something every college student struggles with. With the high levels demanded of college students, such as research papers, group projects, assignments, jobs, and overall lack of sleep it can become very difficult to find the time to workout or be active. Student like to be active thought because it helps put them in a better mood. They are able to relax and have more energy. If students come in with a plan though they are more likely to stick to their routine and maintain their workout plan. It also helps to have a person to workout with. This allows for both individuals to motivate each other to stay on their workout routine, this especially helps for women. Generally though, by setting your mind to staying fit, you will not only see the benefits physically, but it will also help individuals set goals that are achievable in life and help maintain their stress level (Whelan, 2016).

Although named East Los Angeles College(ELAC), ELAC is actually located in Monterey Park, California. Monterey Park is located 30 miles east of Downtown Los Angeles, and has the largest concentration of Chinese Americans in the US. I was raised and born in Monterey Park and when I graduated high school, I enrolled at the local community college. Two years of working as a tutor at the ELAC Writing Center taught me the importance of literature and teaching literature. As a tutor, I learned the necessity to analyze, assess, and appeal to not only the student but their learning needs as well. Most importantly, I learned that before a teacher can impact their students they must understand the student’s environment.

In a transitional setting, a university will have instructors who will lecture all semester long and have you complete two tests; one mid-term and a final exam. As well as have a set time and place for the aforementioned lecture to take place. In some universities attendance is not a requirement. They want you to pass the test in the middle and at the end of the year. You could be in a class with as many as two-hundred plus people which makes it almost impossible for the instructor to reach out to students who are having a hard time.

When looking at my transcript one will see a struggling student who fails to meet the college level coursework, but what it does not show is the personal struggles, lessons learned and the triumph. My college career started with the death of my grandmother. Her passing took apart of me, and shortly to follow I found myself back in the funeral home for the death Grandpa Dusty. This pattern of death continued almost every month for the entirety of my freshman year. Though I struggled to cope with the losses, I adjusted and finished freshman year. The summer class and sophomore year went well as I found a balance of course load, work, and personal life. My junior year, as grades will show was a problematic year. Junior year started with a

As a former Breakthrough Student, I, too was a high potential, underserved middle school student. It was great having someone, such as a mentor, or my Breakthrough teachers there to guide me on the path to success. It was amazing having someone tell me that I can do all things as long as I put my mind to it. It motivated me to be the best that I can be. I knew in my heart that it was my responsibility to allow myself to be successful because no one could do it for me. While having amazing leadership directing me in the successful path is a amazing, being high potential, but underserved comes with many challenges, unfortunately.

In regards to my denied admissions, I fully understand the reasoning for the rejection. Considering my latest semesters at Fullerton College my GPA was not up to the requirements and also did not show my strengths as a student. I would like to ask to be reconsidered for my admission.

During my search for universities I should apply to, the qualities I concerned myself with was the size and the diversity of the university. I want to go to a college with a small class size so the professors can have the ability to focus on their students while also containing diversity among the students and the campus. These were some of the qualities I found in Hofstra University and are the main reasons I applied.

The following are the reasons to why I need to study at Trinity College: I am changing direction in life. In other words; I am done accepting less in life; less quality education, less freedom, less everything. I am fed up with being treated less that my colleagues just because my parents are not doctors. I am done being shamed for asking for my rights. I am done hearing that I just can not make it because I graduated from a regular school. I am done with being told I should want less in life just as much I am done with cultural\social limitations. I want more in

Most individuals consider an educated person to be a professor, lawyer, doctor, or anyone who has completed at least four years at a university. I, however, consider an educated person to be anyone who holds a piece of knowledge that can be obtained through one’s day-to-day life. One is not required to attend an institution of higher learning to be considered an educated person, nor is it necessary that he or she earns a degree, or even a diploma. Despite many individuals believing that a traditional education must be received in order to be considered an “educated” person, there are multiple routes that one can choose; therefore, one is not defined by the amount of schooling that he or she has obtained. Although an individual may be considered “educated”, he or she does not necessarily possess greater knowledge than a carpenter or a real estate broker. In fact, individuals who attend a four-year university are usually only “educated” in a particular field. Therefore, someone without a college degree has the ability to be just as knowledgeable in a different field.

But an educated person (aka “a smart person”) also is compassionate, empathetic, generous, caring, helpful, resourceful, honest, spiritual (however defined) and hard-working, Like I said, it’s not all about levels of structures academia (aka college degree). Thinking twice about the question, I guess I define “educated person” as being curious and being willing to learn new things every day, all the time. The more the better, the deeper the knowledge, and the wider the range of subjects, “the wisdom of years” as they say. (Jeff Syme,
