I Was Hoping

teacher, my dad went to art school. It was very commonly talked about, and commonly expected to go to. My parents never forced me to go to college, it was just something we were all used to for our post-high school careers. I'm going going to college because I choose to, and want to. I want to attend college because, to be honest, I do not know what else to do. I graduated high school this past May, I'm 18 years old, and school is the only thing I know. I knew I would not be able to graduate and immediately

Barbara Ehrenreich in her speech “How Positive Thinking Undermines America”, or just be somewhere in between such as a person who is optimistic but not to the point where they expect something they want to come out of the blue, they have to work for it. I am the sort of person that is caught in the middle; yes you can be a realist but can have some sort of hope, being positive can really help you achieve your goals, but achieving your goals isn’t just going to magically appear you have to put in the effort

that something was wrong with what I was doing, but I thought this would never happen. I had a pretty decent life until the war. Wife, Kids, Parents, I was living the dream. The day I turned 36, was the day I lost it all. I am a trained S.S officer. I was trained at a camp called Dachau, the first S.S camp ever made in 1934. Throughout my training I was taught to capture and kill, going to different concentration camps to supervise and keep control of all prisoners. Not only that I also search houses

myself one. Over the past few years I have no attended church as often as I should. I am hoping to get back into applying my Christianity to everyday life and I’m hoping that CCU will help me with that. My mother attended this school to receive her Bachelors degree and only had great things to say about it. We were speaking a few weeks back how I have been striving to get back to my religion and have not had motivation to do so. She suggested attending CCU so that I can start learning to apply my religion

I am hoping to learn about fondemental biology during this comming summer school . To be able to examine the structrul function of the basic unit of organism (cell) is extremely facinating and i think it opens a gateway to many advance discoveries . by understanding more about fondumental biology i would like to focus on experimental activities that will be conducted by the school in order to examine celluar functions . I’m hoping to learn more about protein's unique 3-dimensional structure and binding

on me were the danger of a single story. I realized having only one viewpoint to a story can limit the ideas we are able to obtain from it. Another important part of the course that I feel is vital information was about the First Nations past and how it has affected Canada as a culture. Going forward with this course I am hoping to improve on my communication skills during class discussions. I am hoping to achieve this goal by participating as often as I can and asking questions.    The single stories

Waiting and Hoping with the Count of Monte Christo Waiting and hoping, two things that we as people will always be doing. Although we desire things to happen for us immediately we will always wait, hoping on the other hand is our want or “need” for certain thing to happen to us. Sadly, some of us will go on for years and years waiting and hoping for dreams of ours to happen, such as Dantes from the Count of Monte Cristo who waited and hoped for the situation he was in to change. Almost all his

Marcus Luttrell was a very good book to me. Not only did it talk about military and SEAL stuff, it taught me things about life that other people have not told me. The SEALS had to train every day so that they could be ready. The training paid off for Marcus as he returned home alive from the bloody mission with a lot of wounds. Marcus taught me to never give up even when we think we can't do something. When Marcus and his SEALS were starting to train, they knew the work was going to be hard

After my long and hard journey, I'm hoping to go to SFA this fall and play golf. I never realized when I first started playing golf that it would be this tough. It's been an emotional roller coaster for me and I can't wait to see what college golf has in store for me. I know it will be very hard to balance golf and school, but I'm hoping that I can excel in both. I never imagined that golf would mean this much to me when I was starting out. I just wanted to play so I could spend time with my Grandfather

St. Thomas Aquinas was the school I've wanted to go to since 8th grade. I’ve also never went to a catholic school even though I’m catholic, so that is going to be a whole new experience for me. I’m excited for the experience and get to know new people throughout the journey. I’ve also heard the St. Thomas sports team are great so I’m excited to go to the football games with my friends and have a good time. Also getting involved in a sport team will help me get to know new people that like to do
