The high school I attend was Utah International Charter School. Senior year started and it was a great time in my life. I was going to graduate within four months. I started facing a variety of choices in choosing a college. I had a lot of…
Upon entering my freshman year of college I recognized I was not fully prepared for the rigorous academic scheme provided at my school, Howard University. One of the main observations was my peers received educational training in Advanced Placement General Chemistry, Advanced Placement Organic Chemistry and even had the opportunity to attend actual college courses during his/her high school careers. Those classes were not an option for me through my high school. Soon I found myself falling into a pit of failure. Long hours of studying and tutoring only produced D’s, F’s and an occasional C on my Chemistry reports. I was thoroughly ready to quit. I still remember sitting in my professor’s office in tears when he informed me that my academic…
Branch Academy for the rest of my high school years. My Sophomore year was a good year for me I had been more open to people by talking to them and made more friends. The community that Branch Academy had was a small atmosphere and I opened up to people. I liked the community that was around me ever since I attend Branch Academy and I have been more open to people and I talked more to people. That ever since I attended Harold T. Branch Academy I have been more of open person.…
To start with, I appreciate your accounts you have provided, regarding your experience you have encountered while attending Liberty University, as a psychology undergraduate. Also, your illustration of Harris, provides powerful confirmation, regarding exercising the mind. However, I diligently read your thoughts about comprehending the theories of Algebra and not being able to clench the information. My reply would be, give it all to God and allow Him to use you. And, by talking to Him, you are developing a personal relationship with Him. What is more, Jesus desires your attention. For that reason, applying these techniques will assist with your fears of Algebra and enable you to understand the course. Do you agree? Lastly,…
We are shown a scene where the college counselor is talking to high school students about their future following a montage of teachers talking to students, in this montage the students seem very uninterested and bored as the teachers talk about the hazard that may occur to them. The main character(David) also seems isolated as he is shown watching the show “pleasantville”where everything is perfect as well as knowing exactly what the characters say showing that he's intrigued and as if he's connected to pleasantville and he is one of the characters. Later we meet another main character whose david's sister (Jennifer) who is a completely different person than her brother as she is more of a 90s stereotypical party kid and more popular as well…
I still can recall the feeling of pure unadulterated fear, and even thinking about it now gives me that sense of dread that has become all too familiar. Every first day was slightly different, but they all had the same effect on me, the uncomfortable feeling of being on the chopping block. In four years, I have experienced the feeling of brand new faces staring at me with harsh, judgemental eyes 4 times, something most high schoolers have to endure only once, if at all. However, these four different educational institutions have brought more than just scholarly concepts into my mind. They have each bent and contorted me in ways that have forced me to learn to become inure. Each transfer required me to adapt and learn to make friends with people who were not…
When I look back at my High School experience senior year was astounding, mainly due to my distinctive institution. I had the opportunity to partake on the football team, track & field team and was a honor student. Another benefit from my alma mater was the diversity of the institution and large number of students (2000 students). In my opinion Wilson Senior High School was the best DC Public School with high test scores and extracurricular activities for everyone.…
Throughout my three years at Woonsocket High School, I grew as in individual. Enhanced my sense of the community. Also I have advanced my knowledge basis to prepare myself for the workforce and life outside of school. These are all important things because they taught me what life as an adult might be and taught me a lot. Woonsocket High was a very good environment for me. Sometimes I felt like school was very stressful, but I could I say I saw Woonsocket High School grow as a school, and I’m happy to be apart of the class of 2016.…
The Chiefs Academy is a five week moment in time to take your anchors off and reflect on yourself. There are lessons to learn from self-reflection and that moment when you realize the tools and the network you were given and you ask yourself what you will build with this network and innovative tools. The Chiefs academy gave you a personal perspective and outlook by using goals and values, the LPI assessment, and coaching.…
Going to Harford community college has prepared me for the responsibilities and work of a four-year college. I not only proved I had the academic integrity by achieving presidents list every semester, but also was invited to join the honor society, Phi Theta Kappa. Knowing I am capable of accomplishing high academic success inspires me to continue my college education. When I transfer, I plan to work just as hard to earn straight A's and to further prove I am capable of being a veterinarian. Continuing my education would provide wonderful opportunities and would be a great life- experience. Delaware is the right decision for me because it provides everything I want and hope to achieve.…

I was introduced to Pratt. Through my Elementary school art teacher, Ms.Johnson, who had recommended my mom to look into applying me to Saturday Art School at Pratt, from then on, Pratt became my home. I have taken nearly 8 years of Saturday Art School then was introduced to a true honor in being in the first class of a brand new program at the time, Pratt Young Scholars, marking up about 17 consecutive semesters of Pratt courses, courses in which I have taken during my Elementary, Middle and High School years. I have even taken Pre College at Pratt. These classes on top of my art heavy curriculum at my high school has made my life nothing but art. My high school teachers have left an everlasting effect on me, these teachers being Sarah Holcomb, Carlos Rosado and Spy Kontarinas. Each and everyone inspiring me to the very best I can, and even inspiring me to consider art education as a potential career for myself, their teaching methods have inspired me and I have created my best works whilst under the pressure of deadlines they have set and the standards I set, particularly high ones.…
It's hard to believe that my first semester at Texas A&M is almost over. 2 tests tomorrow and 1 test Wednesday until my winter break begins!! I have enjoyed every minute here and am so glad I get to call A&M home! I have grown so much this year, not only academically, but also in my faith and as a person. I came into college and had a plan. I was going to graduate with a degree in Accounting and everything was going to fall into place. However, after much time praying and writing reflections for my business class, I have discovered where my heart and passions come together. I have loved my time at Mays Business School, but I am very excited to say that I will be applying in February to change my major to Early Childhood Education. After gradating…
In my previous Academic History I went to Cape May County Technical High School. Throughout my high school career I was a very contentious student. I study very hard and put a lot of effort into my school work. In high school I really enjoyed getting involved. My Sophomore year I managed the swim team which I continued to do until I graduated. My Junior year is where I found my love for cross country. I ran both my junior and senior year and it really helped me mentally and taught me that anything is possible if I just put my mind to it. Also My Junior and Senior year I was apart of student council and the prom committee. We put in a lot of time and effort into making sure school events went smoothly. Along with my extra curricular activities…
During my Sophomore year at South Whidbey High School, I had struggles in math as do all students do but I didn’t be a failed class to hold me back from taking other classes that I was interesting in like Agriculture. With the new move of SWA to a closer location from the High School I was easily able to explore my option into different teaching styles like online math that SWA gives, and with that I was able to take all my math credits at SWA while still continuing my Agricultural Classes at the High School, this was very exciting for me to be able to have semi freedom between two school and the option of class and school environment which was a big part in my wanting to go to SWA. Even though I had most of my friends at the High School I…
