Three years ago, I started my new journey of higher education in the U.S. with little clue about the American university environment. From an international student who found everything novel and unfamiliar to a Titan who aims for higher success, I am very proud of myself today. In addition to gaining knowledge and confidence, I contribute significantly to the academic community at California State University Fullerton (CSUF).
“Which campus organizations that I should get involved in?”. Until now, I have participated in two campus organizations at CSUF: The Sales Leadership Center (SLC) and Business & Data Analytics Club (BDAC). Besides that, I volunteer to help other campus organizations such as the Graduate Office and the American Language Program in orientation days. I gain different experience and acquire a variety of achievements through these campus involvements.
When I joined SLC, my motivation, at first, is to develop a strong sets of interpersonal skills such as presentation skill, communication skill and so on. It turns out to be a great environment where I learn different aspects of the business world and extend my ability to do different things. Being the Executive Assistant at SLC, I have the opportunity to learn communication skills, to moderate some events and to meet with professionals in

In my internship place, CSUF gets credit for providing humble, hardworking and enthusiastic

When people hear the word “college”, many panic inside at the thought. But, when I hear the word “college” I think about Illinois State University. In early July, I attended an Open House at ISU for my very first official college visit. As I stepped onto campus, I couldn’t but help to feel like it was my future home. Many aspects of the tour made me draw nearer to choosing this college after finishing my High School career. Illinois State University seems to fit my personality very well, has an amazing program for what I want to study, and is an outstanding campus for my academic strengths and weaknesses.
But by the end of my two years as a community college student, I had only dipped my toe into the vast pool of academic potential. Not only does the University of Washington offer infinite career and social opportunities, it provides a community of diverse student body and experienced professors all aiming toward the same goal of success. At the University of Washington I can continue my education and work toward a major that utilizes and builds upon my existing
At college campuses around the world, there are ample ways to become a leader, whether it be in club, sport, organization, or in student government. Every person is different so having many options is required and allows everyone to find their niche. I believe that at Western Illinois University, I can express my leadership skills through becoming a resident’s assistant, become a Camp Leatherneck leader, and getting a job on-campus. Since living in the dorms this semester, I have seen the great leadership opportunities given to the resident assistant. My RA, Destiny, has really encouraged me to apply to become one because she is always there for advice on any topic and will find a way to help you no matter what.
After the completion of my first year at Seton Hall University I cannot describe my enjoyment and excitement. My father came to America 25 years ago, in hopes to make quick money and return home. But to earn money he conducted back-breaking labor, since he did not possess any reputable certificates. Regardless, he fell in love America, since it gave opportunities to change life for the better. Therefore, from an early age my parents have encouraged me to build a love of learning and curiosity. My parents never let me see the financial hardship and filled my room with book and tool for academic accomplishments. Over time this endeavor helped me understand the importance of hard work and devotion. Being the
My desire as a child to travel the world led me to my education at Pace University, first of my many destinations. The teaching methodology, the process of assigning homework, the serene atmosphere in the campus and the ever-helping faculty and staff have already instilled confidence in me. This has helped me ease out of my comfort zone to explore and innovate. Gaining my higher education in America has exposed me to a whole new set of scholastic vocabularies such as credit hours, GPA, courses, Greek life involving sororities and fraternities and
I always had interest in a clinical research career that serves a large number of people by emphasizing more on research studies by exploring whether a medical strategy, treatment or device is safe and effective for humans. As a graduate in medicine, my strong base in the medical field continually challenged and motivated me to expand my skills in patient care. My coursework has allowed me to develop a keen understanding of how disruption in biological systems can influence one’s health.

An Administrative Assistant can be categorized into two types: One that may work in an educative environment or one that may work for a business in an office.
he American university has changed drastically over the past century. Because of these changes, what a university student might have experienced ninety years ago would be unrecognizable to the student of today. Throughout the history of the As Russell Nieli, a lecturer in Princeton University’s politics department, has described in his article "From Christian Gentleman To Bewildered Seeker: The Transformation Of American Higher Education," the American university it has transformed from a religion-based opportunity for the social elite to a secular institution that is available to almost anybody. Few things are able to persevere the beliefs, attitudes, goals, and dreams of humans as effectively as media; books, movies, and music are much
However, American institutions were only able to use tuition to cover 44% of operating costs in 2012 (Han, 2014). This chapter’s study was performed at a university challenged by an enormous budget cut and one of the lowest tuition rates in the nation. Furthermore, the proportion of international students outpaces the national average by 2% (Institute of International Education, 2016). Yet, administration has not made improved retention and recruitment of international students a priority in fixing the situation. Rather, the university has decided to cut costs and faculty positions to solve the issue. This may also be the case at many other institutions facing budget issues. However, improved retention through addressing academic needs may aid in alleviating some of these financial issues. In previous studies, students cited academic matters like course structure, discussions, and study skills as significant obstacles (Abel, 2002; Fenton-Smith & Michael, 2013; Pan & Wong, 2011). In fact, 74% of international students and 65% of domestic students shared concerns with their academic pursuits (Grayson, 2008). Furthermore, Yi (2007) found that 45.9% of international students’ need for academic assistance was quite common and sometimes overwhelming. Yet, in most of the studies consulted, academics was a catchall term that did not address specific issues. In
