Trip Before The First Year Of My College

Midway into my sophomore year of high school is when I learned that my family will be moving to Massachusetts due to my father’s job relocation. At first, I was set to move to Massachusetts with my family, which meant transferring to my third high school in three years and having to switch to a different club soccer team during the most important year of recruiting for college soccer. Then, an opportunity was presented to me in which I would be able to stay at my current high school and my current soccer team. The opportunity being that I would stay with a close family friend who attended the same school and plays for the same soccer team, but in exchange I would have to leave my mother and father for the next two years of my life. My family and I thoroughly discussed the plan and after many heated arguments and fights, we finally decided that I would stay behind and stay with the Williams family for the next two years of my life. This life changing opportunity has slowly but surely helped me transition from a child into a young adult.

People will often tell you that they want to be rich or famous when they grow older, how will that be possible without the proper education and schooling? Many people dream of being an entrepreneur or a lawyer and they believe that it is possible to be one of those things out of thin air. It’s not. Often times most businesses want to see a degree or a diploma to even consider you for a job. However, there are many advantages of attending college. The advantages of attending college is never ending but can include incessant opportunities.

Life is full of decisions, which are both easy and hard. My parents' stories of escaping persecution from a

Being nervous about starting college is something every freshmen felt. Were finally on our own, no more being depended on teachers and parents. For many of us the harsh reality of being on our own really hits home. On the other hand many of us are more than ready to be on their own. Have you ever hear one of your teachers say “This isn't going to fly in college” , “College professors won't be there chasing you down” I know I heard this all the time in high school. In high school the material of writing and reading isn't the same, college article and reading are meant for us to think and really analyze the reading. In high school we were taught in figuring out the purpose and the main idea of the article and book. But now I realize that I have

GCSU, where the trail ends and the road begins. I have spent my entire life unknowingly preparing for this school from my first steps to my first beer. The fact that GCSU is a liberal arts college really caught my interests. I came to GCSU to pursue my degree in business. This campus caught my eye due to it’s centralized location in the state of Georgia.

I’m pretty sure most folks hate obtaining up super early within the morning to urge to high school. Am I right? Well I believe it’s the worst! I think college ought to begin later as a result of it's higher for one’s health and it's higher for students’ concentration at school. One other reason college ought to begin later is as a result of it is a lot of convenient.

Lately, it seems, parents are getting more and more involved in their children's daily lives. A parents constant involvement in their child's lives can be a good thing, when their child is still a child and not so much after they have grown up. A new trend has sprung where parents feel it necessary to ,not only, take their child to college but to stay there with them.

Today college is going through changes. The economic instability throughout the countries, parents have pondered the questions, is college a good investment for my child. There is a great debate throughout the country regarding college education. Some people argue that college is not for all students and most students will not benefit in going to college. From grade school to high school students are being prepared in attending college. Teachers and academic counselors tell students that in order to be successful in life that a person must obtain a higher education. Everyone has different opinions regarding if college is for every student, but with today’s technologies and the high demands of new jobs, there is one main question that needs to be answered. Does college still matters?

I had walked the halls of the hospital so many times; I knew it like the back of my hand. My mom was beside me attempting to keep me in good spirits. We sat down in the testing room and waited for the doctor to arrive. The test was rather short and painless compared to the dozens of others I had before. After it was over the doctor told us the same thing every other doctor had told me, ‘We’ll let you know the results in a few days.” The results came back and they had discovered a cist on my ovary. After that I was sent to the best gynecologist in the state and after a few visits we had finally discovered what put my life on hold for years. The road to relief was not easy or short, but at the end shaped me into the person I am today.

Today, fewer than two percent of college athletes go to the professional league leaving the rest to seek a new path of life (Rice.) The select few that have the opportunity to keep on playing in a professional league have the choice of leaving college early to get a head start. Athletes like Myron Rolle, O.J. Mayo, Michael Crabtree, Troy Smith, A. Q. Shipley, Cardale Jones, Odell Beckham Jr., Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Matt Barkley, Peyton Barber, and Anthony Davis had to make that huge decision that has been debated about through all of the sports organizations. Some of these athletes have been successful in their decisions and some have struggled regretting their decision. Athletes should not be allowed to leave college early

I visited @Augustana College -Illinios. It's a great place to go to college because they truly emphasize explorative learning from their students. With study abroad opportunities all around the globe and student aid to help make any of these experiences a reality. Augustana is truly a great place to go to college.

On the way to the international airport in Delhi, I could’ve sworn that I was going to puke at least three times. Whether it was caused by anxiety about getting through the crowded streets before our chasers got to us, or my sister’s crazy driving techniques I’m not certain. Lunar ended up almost killing a handful of poor pedestrians. Once we got there, and I was certain that I’d be safe; I phoned the police and told them where the criminals were hiding out. I also mentioned that they should reconsider their letting my sister drive on the crowded streets. Lunar and I booked the first flight back to California where Lunar and I will catch a cab back to Willow City. It is going to be a very long flight, and I am really not looking forward to the jet lag. Once the plane lands, I make sure that we’re taking a cab, I am not about to survive another one of my sister’s crazy driving “lessons”. Now all that’s left is to survive my sister’s complaints and criticism to the cab driver, which is going to make it an even longer drive back to Willow City.

One October day during my junior year of high school, I came home to see my parents anxiously waiting for me behind the kitchen counter. They informed me that my dad had lost his job. My initial worries, although selfish, surrounded what this change would mean for my college education. Without an income, the burden of college would fall solely on my shoulders. Thankfully, seven months later, my dad accepted an offer in a competitive position at a company on the other side of the state. As soon as he accepted this position, he guaranteed a move in the near future.

The first year of college comes with many changes and challenges. These changes can include the food in the cafeteria, study habits, time management skills, and much more. Every student has to find their own way to handle the first year and determine what works best for them. For many the most essential change is living away from home. Campus life provides opportunities to become a part of a unique, diversified community. With these opportunities come challenges, such as having a roommate, being away from one’s parents, and determining self-limits.

When I first enrolled in this course I thought it would be a good chance for me to meet new people with an interest in ballet, but I never thought that it would have a larger impact on myself. For instance, I did not believe that I would relate the world of ballet to my economics and statistic class that I am currently enrolled in as well, but that is exactly what I began to do. During these past 15 weeks I have learn much about myself, life, and ballet. The class is not what I ever imagined; however I would not change a thing about the class overall. Ballet like everything else has a rich history that although it does not seem important, or appear interesting is key to having an understanding of where it
