Why I Choose Tarleton State University

They had told my parent that a few of my red blood cells had a malfunction they started to break down. They had told my parents that I had something called sickle cell which is a group of disorders that cause red blood cells to become misshapen and break down. I never really understood what that meant but I just knew that I had a weak heart and that I never really played gym in school because they said I had “Limitations.” I never really knew what it meant but I just went along with it. A year later on March 11, 2008 I was back in the hospital because I needed surgery on my heart. I remember waking up after surgery and seeing my mom crying and asking my dad if I was going to die. I never really thought that was a possibility but I just pushed it to the back of my mind so I wouldn’t think about it. But turned out dieing was a possibility but I didn’t die, but the doctor told me that I could never be on a sports team and I could never play gym. I never really took it to the heart because I was only five I told myself that it was not the end of the world. That all changed a few months later and I was 6 now and it was a nice day on October 23 2008 and I was at the park with my dad and my older brother and they started to play baseball while I watched. After watching them play for a while I wanted to play so my dad pulled out a softball and a glove and I started to play on my own. I sucked at first but after a while I was really good. I remember on the same day I asked my dad if I could play on a team but she said no because of my “limitations.” Later that day I asked my mom and she took to play on a rec center team even though I wasn’t allowed and that's how it all started. And know I have played softball ever since and my

Everything hurt, It felt like a million knives were being stabbed into my back. It wasn't turning out to be a very good morning, and it was only going to get worse. It was also the day I would learn to re-walk again. Right here A lot of people have always question me when I say “learn to walk again” they just assume i’m saying it like that because I want the attention. The part they don’t understand was it really was learning how to re-walk again. I had a brand new back, and I didn't know how to use it yet. Everything was tight and it was hard to breath, so I wasn't even sure at one point I would be able to ever move again and be comfortable doing

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

When I was in 7th grade, I learned to be religiously literate, through trusting God in hard times instead of being ‘medically literate’; I learned that letting go of things, and not letting my emotions take over at the wrong times, helped me to step up my faith. During 7th grade I had an experience that most people will never have or understand. I was great at hiding it externally, but internally, I was on my death bed. It all started with a physical, which, of course, was no big deal. Not until there appeared to be a big problem with my X-ray and I had to be referred to a spinal surgeon to double check my results. I ended up receiving a confirmation; I had scoliosis, and that there was nothing left to do, but wait for back surgery. Naturally,

After the accident I expected William to run off into the woods like a scared, traumatised little boy. But he didn’t. He stayed. The doctors told me that I had a seventy percent chance of ever walking again. Depression enveloped me like a shroud of darkness and William was the pinprick of light at the end of the tunnel. Everyday I endured immense pain, both physically and mentally. At the hospital there was a nurse named Misha, he was a religious man and his kindness radiated wherever he went. One night when it was particularly hard, he prayed. I don't know if there is a God or if it was just my own determination and trust, but slowly after a vast amount of physical therapy and days where I couldn’t move from

Ever since I was in elementary school, I’ve always had a fascination with computers and technology. Soon, I’ll be able to study what I love and make a living from it! I plan on going to South Florida State College to get my A.S. degree in computer programming and analysis. Before I can get my A.S. degree I must first obtain my State of Florida High School Diploma through the Adult Education program. After attending South Florida State College, I want to find an employer to begin working with and to start my career with.

Tarleton, like other university’s in Texas, have what is called an Residential Leader, or RL for short, to help ensure that all the students who live on campus can have the best college experience Tarleton can offer. Although the names of the people may vary from university to university, they all still follow similar guidelines on how to help their residents. Being an RL has an enormous responsibility because they are who the students of the dorms look up to them as they set an example for determination, accountability, and relatability. RLs are asked many questions daily because they either know the answer or have the resources to help you find the answer. Some of the important questions RLs and future RLs should know include why they wanted to be an RL, why they should be an RL, and why should Tarleton even have RL’s.

In my college searching I was looking for one in Georgia. I don't want to be too far from home but not too close. One reason I don't want to be too far away is because I don't want to be too far from my family. I want to be able to go back really quick if something happens. Then again I don't want to be so close because I want to learn how to live on my own. I don't want to get stuck in my hometown forever. It has to have a education program and has to be a 4- year school. I didn't want to start at one school and have to finish somewhere else. That would be too much money and moving for me. I want to start somewhere and finish at the same place. Lastly I was looking for one that was a public college. I don't want to be limited to the people

Waking up to a nurse and terrible pain on my right leg, I realized I just got out of surgery. Six months prior I was injured playing the sport that was once my life, soccer. I completely tore my Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), a ligament that holds the femur (the bone on top of the knee) and the tibia (a bone below the knee); it controls reasonable movements and prevents forward movements of the tibia. As a result, I received a traumatizing surgery in my knee causing my muscles to shut down. It felt as horrible as it sounds. As result of this terrible experience, I had to work with many physical therapists to recover from the surgery. At that time my soul was crushed, I have lost hope. It was my senior

It hurt to walk as I stepped into physical therapy on that spring morning. I was coming into here for my second round of physical therap. I thought I had healed up the first thirteen weeks I had gone to physical therapy a year earlier, but three years later, I had still felt pain. I still can recite every detail on how I got here. I was at one of my gymnastics meets way back in 2012.

Facing life changes due to unforeseen health problems that occur can be challenging. The author in the story, The Body Broken, had fractured her C2 through an automobile accident at a young age of 19. Her story is a remarkable journey of trials, which she continues with daily struggle to function.

I have always wanted to go to college. I have always thought that college searching would be hard and expensive, but actually you can find your perfect college that fits your budget. You notice that college is more expensive than you would have thought when you were younger. Everyone has had a dream of what their perfect college would be, but that dream soon changes once you start to do research on colleges.

For ten years I lived a very simple life I grew wanting to become a teacher. I always knew that I wanted to help others. On my tenth birthday my world changed forever. December 31st, 2006 I was In a car accident nobody was seriously hurt. I'll never forget in that moment I saw the car coming I threw my hands over my little brother car seat to protect him. When the vehicle hit our car I could feel my knee hit the center console. When I went to the doctor the X-rays came back nothing was wrong just a really bad hit. As time went I noticed a constant pain in my knee. Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months something wasn't right. I went to a doctor he put me on crutches and I went to therapy. It wasn't working after no progress I started seeing different doctors. Somebody had to have a answer. a

In my life, I have been handed many troubles and endless stresses. I have made poor decisions, and I have made great decisions, some that were not Godly. However, I have come to find that the best decisions were made when I put trust in God and know that he has a plan for my life. That being said, I made a recent decision that may not have been in my best interest and revolved around God. I believe that attending a Christian school, rooted in God and God’s love, I can find peace and renewal again. I can fellowship with fellow believers and walk with and receive help from believers. I have fallen away from my walk with God recently, and made a decision that wasn’t in my best interest. I am realizing this now and I do believe attending Colorado Christian University

A person’s college experience all depends on where a person goes. Colleges can differ in many types of ways. For example: a college’s campus life, its band, and its educational ability are the main determining factors of how a person’s college life will go. To show the importance of these things I have chosen JSU and Ole Miss to prove my points. JSU and Ole Miss are both great schools, but one is more for education purposes while the other is focused more on campus life.
