I say this is the Best thing that’s happened because it really opened me up to a whole new community‚ gave me the opportunity to meet incredible people‚ and introduced me to different learning experiences. On the other hand I feel the worst thing that has happened is when meeting one individual at the Church and not understanding his signing. This was very upsetting to me‚ because I felt as though he was getting frustrated with me‚ because I was

Many experiences have shaped me into the person I am today‚ including time spent counseling at a summer camp‚ several mission trips to the island of Trinidad and Tobago‚ and the consistent love and support of my family. However‚ I believe that the role I played as a counselor to young girls was the most formative experience in regards to my character and my passion for being a good role model. Throughout the seven years that I attended Camp Elim‚ I grew immensely and learned how to be a follower

2:30-3:45pm September 12‚ 2013 THE EXPERIENCE THAT SHAPED WHO I AM TODAY People wonder and try to guess what made me the way I am today. I’ve been confronted by elderly strangers‚ being asked the same question almost every time. Questions like: “Why are you so nice?”‚ “Why are you so different from others?”‚ and “Why is the way you dress unique?” I give them all the same answers‚ I tell them I am who I am today because of my past experience. I never go into details about telling

Monday 04/17/2017 my friend Rachel asked me for a favor on behalf of her professor Dr. Dena Kniess for a multicultural course for graduate students. To be a part of a panel discussion on Arab students. Rachel asked me to talk about my experience as an Arab student at EIU and told me a bit about what I should expect from the students. At first‚ between me and myself I was a bit afraid and nervous. I was going to say “sorry Rachel‚ I can’t make it”. But then‚ I’m like “no I’ll make it‚ it’s definitely

intellectually curious‚ and socially responsible‚ I would look at you dumbfounded. However‚ since leaving high school‚ certain experiences have led me to transform from a follower to a leader. Growing up‚ I struggled with math‚ needless to say‚ I was never encouraged to go into any type of occupation with a technical or quantitative background needed. My experience at Radford University gave me the capacity to develop a love of math and the confidence to pursue a career in analytics. The school

My experiences serving others have exposed me to the issues my community faces and have shown me that I can make a difference. My first experience working with underserved populations in my community was serving food at Union Station Homeless Services’ Thanksgiving Dinner in the Park in high school. This made me step out of my comfort zone and interact with a group I was unfamiliar with. Through serving food and interacting with homeless and low-income families‚ I saw that my small actions could

I cannot wait for the opportunity at the Salvation Army. I have always heard about the wonderful things that the Salvation does for individuals and families‚ but I have never gotten the chance to experience it for myself. I have learned recently that there is a vulnerable population that comes to the Salvation Army for assistance‚ the homeless and people in poverty. To care for a vulnerable population in their own environment I think will make me really sad and grateful at the same time. It will

My experience at the nursing was definitely a different one. When I first arrived there I was extremely nervous. I had never been to a nursing home or rehabilitation center before and didn’t really know what to expect but that there would be older people just sitting around not doing much. But to my surprise not everyone there was old and the older people that were there didn’t only just sit around all day. After getting over the initial fear of the Rehab center‚ I was ready to meet my client. My

The single most impactful experience in my life is attending Ventura Community College. Nothing has hurt me more. In high school I had taken AP and IB classes and had finished within the top ten percent of my class but I had no idea what I wanted to do. I applied to some schools that I considered to be mediocre so that I could continue swimming‚ but as the application deadlines ended and most of my friends were being accepted to places such as UCLA‚ UCSB‚ and even Harvard‚ I had realized that I

State University’s Athletic Marketing Department has been a wonderful experience and I would recommend doing an internship with the department to any interested MSU student‚ looking to get some real field experience.
