The nation went through the trial of fire beginning with the American Revolution, then the Civil War, and now Global Peace. Furthermore, each event has a common trait, which is the people, who came here to achieve their dreams. America has been the bastion of democracy and opportunities for many centuries. The similarities and differences between “I Hear America Singing,” “To Walt Whitman,” and “I, Too, Sing America” are viewpoints on America, motivates, experiences, and viewpoints.

The first day in the United States is one of the best day and most thrilling days in my life. My father and my older sister move to Malaysia to get a job and support our family due to financial difficulty and lack of job opportunity in Burma. After a few years, my father and my sister were able to enter as immigrant and they were sent to the United States as immigrants through United Nation. After being apart with my father and my sister for more than a decade, my parents decide to move completely to America where more opportunities are available for a brighter future. My family faces many obstacles during the process of migrating to America. Despite all the struggle that are on our way, my family finally arrives in the United States and face major changes in life.

A path that led to this school, and the amazing experiences and opportunities I had and will continue to have throughout my last year here. Here is the place I’ve learn to lead in a classroom, develop my academic skills, and succeed in continuing my mission of helping others. I’ve grown into a woman with her own ideals and own convictions, which I just now realized has always been my goal in life. What I major in, what job I have, and who I marry will not confine my person to live a life where having one experience is

I came to America with a suitcase and a dream, but little did I know that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. After my family and I worked our whole lives to come to the land of opportunity we faced problems in the cities and workplaces, in the environment, problems in politics, and in society.

It was the hardest year of my life, but, it is also the most memorable because it has been teaching life lessons like telling the truth or, make friends who won’t use you. The most important life lesson I think I have learned is to never give up on life even though it is got you down. I hope next year is a lot

“America The Beautiful” perfectly describes the farmland of Iowa with the lyrics “amber waves of grain.” Iowa is a state of rolling plains, cornfields and picturesque farms.

I chose to attend LaGuardia Community College because this school was recommended by family members who had attended this college. Many people had told me that I would receive a lot of help with academic advising and other resources. At first, I was hesitant of coming to LaGuardia Community College, but I am happy with my decision. I think I have made the most out of my time at LaGuardia Community College. I have managed to keep my grades up and am a part of Phi Thetta Kappa Honor Society and on the Dean's List for Academic Achievement.

Lees-McRae is a good fit for me because out of all the colleges I have researched, Lees-McRae feels like home. When I first found the college's website, I instantly knew that Lees-McRae encompasses all the values that I think are crucial. Just from the website alone I found a sense of family and coming from a close-knit family of four, I treasure that above anything else. Also, I fell in love with the idea of community. I feel it is important to cherish and be a part of an open community, which I have noticed Lees-McRae provides for all of its students. If I were to attend Lees-McRae I would be active in the community and feel safe inside the family atmosphere. Not to mention, I would thrive in the athletic aspects of the college, the passion

Iowa should not only be perceived as a state that just grows corn or is full of farmers, but as a state that is filled with many kind independent workers who thrive to make a difference in their communities. Being an Iowan means that you will always be part of a community. Not only a community where a select few people know your name, but a community where everyone knows your name, and even a little about your background. Whenever you are feeling lonely, you can easily go for a walk and pass around twenty people that you know. If anything were to ever go wrong, you know that you

There are many reasons I chose Liberty University for my degree. First, my family because I want them to have a better life once I’m out of school. It will take years for me to graduate from Liberty University but It’s worth the time for my family. I want them to have everything I didn’t get to have growing up; a house in a nice neighborhood and money so they can have a better education. Secondly, Is God and my faith that led me here to Liberty to follow my passion. Since I was a young girl I had a great interest in how the psyche works. Going to Liberty is just as much for myself as it is for my family. I want myself to know I have what it takes to finish school and have that since of accomplishment. These three reasons are why attend Liberty

My main reasons for wanting to attend Lakeland would have to be that it is close to home, my cousin is attending and has told me many great things about the wide option of classes and opportunities, and to further educate myself on computer science as a whole before picking what part of it I would like to make a career out of. As of the time being, my future career goal is to become either a network administrator or a computer engineer. I love working with my hands and prefer this much more than any sort of computer coding. Another very important goal for me, is to improve my overall knowledge of computers, I find them simply fascinating. Something as simple as sending an application for scholarships that used to take days to week to get delivered,

A country of hopes and dreams, a state of farmland and small towns. A person's background can change the way they live their lives forever. As Americans, we are lucky to live in a country where we have promises for the future, people to push us to be the best we can be, and educational resources that are never ending.

How do you see your country? You may be proud of where you live, or you might have the opposite view. It’s also possible that arriving where you currently live for the first time may affect you, such as the case of Jean Fritz, who once was a missionary kid, or MK, from China. After living in China for years, Jean had stepped foot on American soil for the first time in her life. In doing so, the way she saw this country had grown into something different than what she had started out thinking.

August 2011, the most special and most meaningful year of my life started off. I got to know students from different countries during the year in the United States. Besides broadening my horizon, I also tried to show and explain to my new friends how beautiful and wonderful our culture is. I believe I have become a person who is more independent and mature. I can now face my own flaws and make amends of my mistakes. Besides facing my own flaws, I am willing to face all kinds of challenges in my life.
