Texas A & M Reflection
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

    I am here to discuss how hard of a situation is has been for me to get back into school. I have been out of school for 10 years and never thought it would be this difficult. We hear every day the sayings and advertisements of “go back to school” or “continue your education, it’s as easy as 1-2-3”. Well, I’m here to say that I have had one heck of a time. From not having my parents push me in the right direction when I was younger to branching off and not finding out these things until later. I certainly don’t want to say it is too late to go back to school but I do feel to be a late bloomer. Anyhow, when I first got into Austin, I had to go back and forth to the campus 4-5 times without having any accurate information from a counselor. I mean, I’m a hands on person.…

    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.…

    My dream for the next four years is to achieve a Physician Assistant degree at St. John’s University. As I transition to college from high school, I understand how there is no one in the world besides myself to help me reach my goal and it will require hard work as well as motivation to reach that point. At times, I feel overwhelmed with the struggles that arise in achieving my degree, but that would not stop me from my main point in coming to this school. I am able to connect my experience to the experience the Nolan’s and my dad went through when it was their time to achieve their dreams. I find it to be very lucky to go to school in New York because I am already one step ahead of my game to fulfill my target since New York is the place where there are many opportunities for everyone. Hence, having a motivated outlook on life, everything that is impossible will be…

    Sherman Alexie Reflection

    • 1316 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Sherman Alexie has created and developed the character Thomas Builds-The-Fire in his book, “The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven,” because he is shown as a Native American of old tradition whereas Victor is shown as a modern-day Indian. Thomas is presented in Sherman Alexie’s stories with innumerous knowledge of reservation life and Indian culture. He is there to tell the history of his people through stories detailed with emotions as if he experienced them himself. Even though he tries to live in the past and enlighten people about what the Native Americans went through, people do not take the time to listen to him because they are moving on and becoming more modern. In the story, “This is what it means to say Phoenix Arizona,” Thomas is characterized as “the storyteller nobody wanted to listen to” and “talking to himself like he always did.” Thomas is considered the most “Indian” of his people and is all-knowing like a spiritual figure. In the same story, he knew that Victor’s father would leave before anyone, even Victor. Victor was surprised that Thomas offered him financial help to give his father a proper funeral, but soon finds out that Thomas was keeping promise to a deal. Thomas had a vision which involved Victor’s father at Spokane who told him to “take care of each other.” Although he is seen as a highly spiritual figure of tradition, it was strange to witness him killing the only living animal when he took his turn driving the pickup back home.…

    When I first began to think about college, I was overwhelmed to say the least. More accurately, I was terrified. I had no obvious plan for the future and I didn’t know how I was going to decide where to go or what to do. I knew what I liked to do but I had no idea how interests translated into a major. It all seemed so impossible at the beginning, but as the year progressed I began to develop a goal: Meredith College. After a long period of worry and stress, I was accepted to Meredith and offered financial aid. Meredith College is my dream school and I know that’s where God wants me to grow for the next four years. I am so excited to go to school and to learn everything this important, unique school has to offer. Ever since I was little, I…

Freshmen students are new to campus life and they want to feel like they belong here, so I decided to write an article about how to handle midterms.

    I intend on putting my study skills, drive that I had as I attended IBMC, to this time around of school, knowing that I know have God on my side, a great husband, and an amazing Spirit driven school.

    Hello, I am currently a junior in college. This has been my third at Houston community college. I initially started off by wanting to be a Dental Hygienist but later I started to realize it was not something I was passionate about. I soon came to the conclusion that I want to be an elementary school teacher. In the beginning I was thinking about money rather than a degree I would be dedicated to. I graduated high school back in 2011 and to be honest college was never in my panorama. After graduating I got my first job at Family dollar and that was my wake up call. I realized that I would not be able to live an abundant life getting paid minimum wage. I knew that if I wanted to make a difference in my life, I would have to go back to school.…

    Michelle, your college path is similar to mine. I started out at my local community college and earned my associates and then I went off to MSU. After a year there I learned that I really didn't like my major so I took a year off and moved back home. To pay the bills I started substitute teaching and instantly fell in love with it. The next year I enrolled at GVSU and earned by bachelors in education. I had planned on getting a teaching job and going straight for my masters. Unfortunately, when I graduated most of the schools were handing out pink slips so I took a job in another industry. Within 2 years I was making what I would as a teacher with 30 years in so I never did make the move back into teaching. Over the next 10 years I got married…

    I have been going to school for two semesters now and everything is running smooth so far, but I have been told by so many people that it doesn’t get hard until the third or fourth semester. So, I guess I will be alright until the third semester comes around. Then, I will be running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I know, by going back to school I will be able to support my family the way a husband and father should. I still have a long road ahead of me, but I know as long as I study hard, and do what I am told, their will be no problem finishing the program with flying colors.…
