Work Forest Narrative

The first few months were okay, I struggled with being homesick often which was hard on not only myself but my grades. When I went back for the second semester I felt fine and refreshed. The two months before I was to be done with my first year of college I ended up losing two of my close friends exactly a month apart. This was a difficult time for me to deal with because I was still mourning the loss of my best friend who had passed right after graduation. At that point, I was very depressed but I knew I was close to getting out of school for the summer. I pushed through it and ended up finishing the semester with good grades, which I was very proud of myself

My journey through undergrad was similar to a flight going through a lot of turbulence. I came in knowing what I had to do, make Good grades, shadow doctors, and volunteer/participate in community service. However, there were a lot of trials and tribulations. It was not until after my freshman year when I hit rock bottom academically that my whole world

Moving forward, the pressure of being a student in college is a challenge that turns out to be rewarding and most definitely shaping. Full time university students are

The first semester was definitely a make It or break it for students. I came into this program not realizing how much time and effort is put into this program. I had to become very disciplined with my time and focus only on the program. There have been many nights of no sleep and no eating to maintain the grades that I have now. Currently, for the spring semester, I have all A's which will bring my GPA up from a 3.484 to a 3.6 or higher. The main goal to succeed in this program is to study, manage your time and to discipline yourself. I am a person that enjoys to overcome new challenges in life. This program has been such a challenge but I am almost halfway there. I promised my family and myself that I will continue to successfully progress in this program no matter what obstacles comes in my way. All of this will be worth it in the end. In the next year, I will be graduating the Radiology Program with an Honors Associates Degree. From there, I will continue my education at Chattanooga State Community College to get my Certification for Radiation Therapy to help patient's with their struggle to overcome cancer. After a year, I will then get my Certification for

My first semester as a college freshman is finally coming to an end. This semester has been the start to a new chapter in my life and I am glad to have finally finished my first semester on a high note. Coming into college I never knew what things would be like and how would I adjust. All I knew is that I wanted to succeed and eventually graduate college. The courses I have taken this semester have had big impact on my learning and my future. Assignments that taught skills and lessons to be used in the future. I have learned skills such as being able to collaborate in groups because of projects in ASU 150.

My first week at college has been challenging, even though I expected it to be, It has still had its ups and downs

However, with the help of my new friends and professors, I survived my first semester here. While it wasn’t perfect, I continue to improve myself as time passes.

A sense of humility came over me as I searched to find my way. It was difficult to make new friendships overnight. In this time I learned to branch out and find the right people to build relationships with. Sometimes it was hard to find the right people. I had optimism that the year would go great, and I overcame the doubts in my mind. The treatment I received from my classmates was humbling. Their appreciation made me feel comfortable in my new surroundings. Looking back to my first day at Larned makes me realize how great it was. I learned valuable lessons about myself and how to become a better person because of

The 1st semester was full of challenges as a full-time student here at Mohawk College, but I am thankful that it is over. Now, I am grateful that I will be starting my 2nd semester as a Practical Nursing and is determine to succeed.

I am currently a freshman at the College of Charleston and my life so far has been great! College life is quite a transition from high school, but I am definately enjoying it. The first few weeks of this semester were kind of a struggle for me because I was away from home and had to figure out how to do everything by myself. In addition to that I had to get in the routine of classes, network with new friends, and get familiar with the campus. I am also involved with our school’s Bonner Leader Program, which is a four-year civic leadership and development program highlighted by regular training and reflection activities, along with the requirement of 200 service hours per year. Through this program, I got the opportunity of interning with Coastal

I hope this finds you well:) Time is flying by and finals are looming in my final semester of classes at the Bristol Community College in their Occupational Therapy Assistant program. Next semester will be all fieldwork and my first choice placement is Greenlock Therapeutic Riding Center. http://www.greenlock.org/. So close--finally!!

Now that I have completed my first half of the semester in Montclair State University, I feel like I have accomplished a lot within these past few weeks. My goals for this semester was to start off academically strong, make new friends, trying new things, find a major, and getting out of my comfort zone. So far, I have accomplished more than half of my goals. I am doing well in my classes, exploring new places, and I met the greatest group of people I can be friends with.

Overall my first semester at West Georgia was a rollercoaster and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I have made new friends and have became closer with old ones, learned from mistakes, found my way of studying and how to stay on task and last but not least had an amazing

What has my journey to graduation been like for me? My journey has been a crazy, fun-filled learning adventure. I met many goals and accomplishments I set for myself but I also faced some challenges on the way. For example, I finally met my goal of graduating with a 4.6 GPA and maintaining it. Also, I accomplished completing my last four years of grade school and now I am on the way to college. My last year has been interesting and there are many goals, accomplishments and challenges I can reflect on.

Throughout my lifetime I have listened to people reflect back on their college experiences and explain how college is supposed to be “the best experience of your life.” The summer after my senior year I use to try and imagine what my first semester was going to be like based on what I had heard people talk about in the past. After my first semester at NC State I realized that I couldn’t fully understand what college was like until I experienced it for myself. My first couple of weeks at Ohio State was rough and really tested my strength (mental and physical). I faced challenges and obstacles that I had never heard about in those past college experience conversations. All of a sudden there was no one to get me out of
