Before starting at The College of New Rochelle, I was going to work and coming home doing the same thing everyday which was nothing. So I decided to sign up for college after seeing a billboard on a bus shelter in Co op City on my way to Municipal Credit Union. I read the sign and decided to go to the open house back in October, when I went it was very interesting on what they have to offer so I said to myself, self let’s do this what do we have to lose. So I decided to take the assessment test that day, and passed but I had to come back another day and retake it. And I passed for the second time I was happy, now that I’m here I want to get my degree in Psychology and move further not into the job but when I retire. I really to like to learn new things I just can’t get frustrated with some of the work that is given, when I leave college I want at least a 3.8 GPA and a degree in Psychology. Within the next five years I would like to further and get my Master’s degree, so I can counsels the youth on their behavior and let them know its important to act a certain way and not misbehave. Within five years my daughter will be out of high school and going on to college and maybe I can help her with some of courses that she will be taking. And my son will be in his third year of high school.
Then once we all complete school, we will all take a much needed vacation so that we can relax our brains, and think about our future ahead. By my tenth year, I should be retired from School Safety and living in Atlanta, Ga in my house. I want to get away from all noise in NYC and go on plenty of cruises to the Caribbean Islands like other retirees does. And by then I should be finish my Masters, doing an internship and volunteer in a center

    After I completed my first full semester I was interviewed and began a work-study position in the admissions department. Since working in Admissions, I have learned new skills and enhanced others. I have also been able to meet many students and be an encouragement to some that are just as intimidated about attending college as I was. Because of the meaningful relationships I have made with the faculty and staff of RCC as well as the positive steps I have taken to increase my education, I feel that everyone should go to college or seek a higher learning. This experience has awakened my curiosity on new and different subjects. It has made me push my 12-year old son to take his grades and schoolwork more seriously, to push harder and stronger on each assignment he has to complete and finally it has shown him that “ I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” (KJV/Phil…

    Life is full of obstacles which starts out on an easy level but only becomes harder the further on down. Because of the obstacle turning meticulous, people eventually crave to attend college to pursue an education; young adult, middle aged, or over middle aged adults. The reason people are inspired to attend college is that the job industries are wanting people with degrees over people with hands-on- skills. The job industries feel that people with college degrees are more likely to make the job industry flourish more than people who have not attended college but know…

    Summer 2008 I began college as a freshman looking forward to all the new thing that I was going to be learning and also looking forward to all the new people I was going to be meeting. Overall I was overly excited about the new environment. It made me feel a sense of independence that I had never felt before. I was out there on my own and I was ready to make great things happen. Beginning as a freshman I had so many things that I wanted to accomplish. I wanted to become a dental hygienist, a cosmetologist, a pharmacy technician, a nurse and a wardrobe stylist. I knew that if I worked hard I could accomplish and achieve being anything that I wanted. As semesters rolled onward I began to accomplish things that I wanted: pharmacy technician, accomplished; associates degree, accomplished; cosmetologist, accomplished; certified nursing assistant, accomplished. I achieved so many great things but I still wanted more. I felt that there was more out there for me to achieve and I wanted to have it all. If there was more to be learned, I wanted to learn it and be a part of it. With that being said, I worked and I strived for more great things.…

    Before I went to City College,I made the most important decision of my life. I decided to go to a university, but I didn’t know which university should I go? I still remember when I was a high school student my college counselor told me “Ensure that the school is a perfect match for you.” At that time I wasn’t sure where should I go. Although I felt like I was not ready for university I still had to make a choice. I submitted my application to SF State University without any hesitation. After I submitted the application, I thought about this every day. It was a little impulsive, but I already did it. I always felt I am not good enough and afraid of college. Before the orientation day I watched TV all night and I slept at the morning. I completely…

    I really enjoyed reading all the articles for this module because it gave me a new perspective and lens of viewing marriage and family therapy. I felt that I could relate to the first article that discussed ethical perspectives inside of a classroom setting. I believe that this article illustrated the way in which students have personal and professional value conflicts, which leads to figuring out how to solve these dilemmas. Also, while reading these articles I found these new perspectives to be very interesting and they made me think of the specific and unique challenges that marriage and family therapists have to deal with. When reading these articles I realized that marriage and family therapists have more challenges and concerns to deal with and process compared to individual therapist, such as dual relationships with family and/or group clients. Another big issue that can play a big part of family therapy is disclosure of family secrets, specifically if a minor disclosures these secrets in session.…

    After leaving my high school life behind me, I looked for a way to escape my dreary surroundings. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and even if I had, I had no plan to achieve them. I spent my last year trying to enjoy my time and desiring that other people invited me to be in their company that I had no plan for when that last school bell rang. When it finally rang out, I was again lost. The only difference was that I no longer had classes. Going to Rock Valley rectified that. Like other kids going to a community college, I had no direction in my classes and was without an idea about what a degree would get me.…

    Growing up i’ve had many goals and ambitions but the most important one has always been to attend college and get my degrees to make my parents proud. My parents did not have the opportunity that i now have, and i feel very lucky being the first one in my family that will go to college. My parents have always told me that getting a good education is very important and it’s why i’ve always wanted to go to college since I was younger. Growing up I actually wanted to become a teacher but then changed my mind when i started high school and learned that psychology was what I really wanted to do. My goal is to get my bachelor’s in psychology and then i will continue going to school to become a Clinical Psychologist and one day work in a mental health clinic helping people so they can overcome their mental illness.…
