Georgia Tech Reflection
Visiting over fifteen schools, I was told that when you found the “right” place you would know it. Ostensibly a bit whimsical, they were correct and Georgia Tech is that place. It began with being warmly greeted by students and staff during the information session. During the session, the MOVE organization, Georgia Tech’s biggest volunteer organization, intrigued me. The organization represents the best qualities I search for in people, kindness and dedication. Furthermore, the opportunities the organization offers, to truly affect change in the community, is incredible. This organization and the students I had the pleasure to meet embody and represent the Georgia Tech motto of progress and service. Moreover, it was fortuitous that there were

    For my post-secondary schooling, I have been accepted into, and planning to attend, Georgia Southern University. I chose this school for many different reasons, and going to orientation expanded those reasons. Georgia Southern offers many great opportunities for what I want to do in life. The campus is about an hour away from where I currently live, so it is close to home but not too close to home. The professors and staff are friendly and want to see the students succeed and are always ready to help. I could go on and on about why I chose this school, but I believe…

    Southern Methodist University’s mission statement resonates with the same values I admire about a University such as “promoting an environment emphasizing individual dignity and worth”. Growing up I lacked essential self-worth. Upon beginning highs school I was very confused and frustrated person. I was learning to accept myself for being gay and the conservative and traditional environment I was in made it difficult for me to express who I was. The misrepresentation and disrespect I gained from being a double minority in high school fueled a passion in me which became the catalyst for positive change in my academic career. Since I began to attend Tarrant County College, I have joined the Cornerstone honors program offered at the campus and…

    Being a community, network, and family details my view of the “Hokie Spirit.” At Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VT), I am certain that there is overwhelming support from professors and students because of the unique atmosphere I perceived when touring. While walking around the brick buildings, I felt as if all students knew each other, or that each of them had something in common. This aspect that every person who strode pass me entailed, was pride or “Hokie Spirit.” I could sense the fulfillment each individual had for attending one of the top public schools in the United States, and because of this, “Hokie Spirit” flourishes throughout the campus.…

    I would like to begin by saying that I am honored to be a nominee for membership into the 2013 Senior Honor Society of York College of Pennsylvania. I take passion in my academic studies and my community involvement. The opportunity to be recognized for the impact I have made on my college and local community is truly flattering. After spending my first two years at Millersville University, I began my studies at York College in my third year of college as a junior. Living in Spring Grove, I made the decision to live at home, work a part-time job, and commute to York College. These factors are all things that could have impacted my campus-life involvement, but I was determined to not let these factors impact my college experience. I jumped head first into the York College Community and was accepted with open arms into whatever groups I wanted to become affiliated with on campus.…

    Having been determined to attend UBCO for nursing, I focused on taking courses with transferable credit. Though I subsequently lightened my course load, I occupied the remainder of my time devoting myself to various volunteer opportunities with diverse client populations. I believe familiarity with the hands on aspect of nursing is as essential as my education. I maintained my grades while balancing multiple volunteer opportunities to gain priceless experience caring for individuals with varying demands. Upon admission to UBCO, I will embrace the opportunity to start a full time course load while continuing the compassion and empathy I learned.…

    As a student I will be able to bring some unique and diverse perspectives to Grand Valley. Early on in my life, my family decided to take in foster children. This has allowed me to become a more compassionate and accepting person to others. It also led me to discover that I wanted to peruse a career in child psychology. Another perspective I can bring deals with my involvement in theater. I have been involved in theater ever since I was in third grade. Theater allowed me to discover something I was truly passionate about and find myself. In high school I decided to give up sports and focus on theater instead. This was a very hard decision because I was the only person in my school who was involved in theater. This decision though has made me…

    Each alumna of Georgia Tech is uniquely qualified for any position, because over four years we were hard wired to solve problems from in the shortest amount of steps possible. I am actually excited to learn problem solving skills, because I get problems done. However, it takes me double the amount of time that it takes other people to solve the same issue. Hopefully, now that I am at Tech: I will learn how to work smarter and not harder, by studying and learning from my…

    Before I came to Randolph-Macon, I was narrow-minded, not social, and was against coming out of my comfort zone. My mindset before coming to college was that I could come to college for 4 years, coming home almost every weekend, and go right back home and work on the water or work in the office of my parent’s clam and oyster company. Now I have broadened my horizons and see myself doing so much more with my life. Making it through that terrible first week of college, I realized I could make it through anything and handle anything life threw to at…

    One day I had a conversation about my struggle to find a college to a mentor of mine. My mentor informed how he had recently visited a college in Missouri where his friend worked called College of the Ozarks. As he began to describe the college, I became more and more intrigued. He encouraged me to apply there and connected me with his friend who worked at the college. It did not bother me that I did not know where Missouri was on the map or that I had never stepped foot there. As I researched the college I finally became sure of at least one thing, I was sure that I belonged at College of the…
