New York University-Personal Narrative

My personal faith grows daily by my choice to follow my love and savior, Jesus, every day I wake up. It was by no accident that God showed me Liberty University, and has now become a top option in my choices of colleges. I believe in the deep mission Liberty University has to develop Christ-centered believers because it is the same mission I strive to live out daily in my walk as a follower of Christ. My season of life will not always be the same as someone else's, but I pray that what I have walked through and what God taught me in those seasons can give perspective to others. I have grown up always knowing God but not until my sophomore year in high school did I truly start to live that out. I took two opportunities in the past two years

During my two last years of high school, i've been in contact with a lot of colleges and universities. Many of which don’t get my attention. Throughout my whole high school years, there was only one college that i wanted to go to, Liberty University. I have heard so many wonderful things about Liberty and what i loved the most was that it was a christian school. Liberty had the number one thing that i am looking for in a college, that is a christian school, but many of my other things that i look for in a college where just not there. I used to live in Florida approximately 11 years ago and let me tell you, it's hard not to miss the sunshine state. Liberty is in Virginia, a state where it doesn't feel like home. When i received a brochure

East Carolina University is and has always been a dream school for many students including myself. I have grown up hearing about the University and it is nothing short of spectacular. Many family members of mine have attended East Carolina, and I have always pictured myself at this school. It would be an honor to be a pirate. Throughout high school I have struggled in Science and Math. I know I could have done better in high school but in life you can always do something better, im eager to push myself more and work harder than ever to succeed as an adult, if given the chance There are many times when I should I have put school in front of my extra curricular activities such as dancing, art, work, tennis, and swimming. However, all of those

Before coming to James Madison University I had no clue what I wanted to get involved in. Whether it was a club sport, business related group, or a social fraternity I just wanted to be apart of something that was bigger than myself. At the beginning of the school year I looked into tryouts for club baseball, the Madison Investment Fund and rush schedules for fraternities on campus. I quickly found out that club baseball wasn’t for me, at least for my freshman year. I then asked around about MIF and got the sense that you needed a very heavy Economics background and that it was very challenging to be accepted as a freshman. MIF is something I hope to get involved in next fall. In the back of my head I always knew that a social fraternity was what

In my last two years of highschool I duel enrolled St. Petersburg Community College, my local community college. In my senior year I decided to take online classes due to the very long drive to the nearest campus. I ended up taking Calculus with Analytic Geometry and two other classes online. My Calculus proffessor did not teach or provide any materiel to learn from other than the text book and homework questions. For the first quarter of the class I did well and completed all the assignments easily; however, the class got harder and the textbook no longer provided me with enough information to complete the assignments. I struggled through this part of the class and had a hard time mainting my grade which I wanted to keep as high as possible. After several trips to the campus for tutoring and spending hours trying to find other external resources I began to learn how to solve the problems and brought my grade back up and finally passed the class with an A.

Wellesley College is an extraordinary college that provides all I could ever seek in a college. It has various majors to choose from, extraordinary interactions with professors and students, and an inspirational atmosphere full of great women from various backgrounds. I never knew that such college would have all the preferences I wanted. The more I learned about Wellesley the more I realized that this is a true college in which I could work in and get to where I want to be. As the first in my family to go to college it is vital for me to remain true to myself and empower myself as a hispanic woman. Education is essential to everyone, but to me I believe is a way in which I could represent my capacity. Though there is

As I sat on the couch getting ready for the first day back at school, I heard the phone in the kitchen ring. I stood up to go answer it and I heard loud footsteps coming down the stairs. My mother was running down the stairs to answer it just in case it was one of her work calls. I noticed that her voice started to crack as if she was going to cry and the smile that she once had on her face had disappeared. The person on the other end of the phone was my Uncle Dylan from California calling to let us know that Aunt Liz had died in a car wreck. We were so devastated but little did we know she left me $12k. A couple days later I received a letter in the mail saying that I had to use it to help pay for my tuition. I am looking to attend the nursing program at Lindenwood, Missouri State, or St. Louis University.

I felt anxious about attending RU. Now that I have been here a week I am feeling motivated. Living close to campus gives me the ability to be completely immersed in the college lifestle, therefore, allowing me to have the chance to join various clubs and the chance to use the many resources that will advance my academic career. Being able to join a club here at Rutgers will help me be able to feel like a Rutgers student. The amount of opportunities this school has is endless, and I plan on taking full advantage of such benefits.

This year has been extremely hard for me personally and financially, so the funds would help lessen the stress that I’m experiencing. Recently, I transferred from Manhattanville College to Montclair State University. Initially, I started my educational journey at Manhattanville because of what I thought the school embodied and exhibited. I thought it was an institution that valued encouraging diversity in all social, cultural and academic settings. I thought the institution would support students who wish to continue their education in foreign languages. I thought the college would support the tenure faculty opinions and build settings where professors were inspired by their students. After two years at mville, the administration dismantled

Yesterday was February 5th, 2016. I was writing a journal while I’m eating my dinner in a kitchen. I think backward to the time I was just awake.

Saint Vincent College is a college that was on my radar during the application process and was also the first one that I applies to. I knew that Saint Vincent College was going to be my home away from home the moment i stepped foot on campus during my first college tour. One advantage for me is the campus size. Coming from Windber and it’s school district, I am used to a very small school and class size all in a rural area. The big city schools with thousands upon thousands of students never appealed to me; what I wanted was a small,affordable school. Going through the application process and seeing the overall price tag was an intimidating thing for me, but getting in contact with the financial aid department was extremely beneficial. Talking

I am writing to you today to inquire about my NYIT academic scholarship. I received an email recently that my Financial Assistance Plan had been revised and noticed my scholarship was no longer there. My cumulative GPA at the end of the previous semester was a 2.99, which is 0.01 below the required 3.0 for my scholarship. Up to this point, my scholarship was only revoked in my prior semester, and that was when my cumulative GPA was a 2.96. Despite these shortcomings, I am still confident I will be able to retain the required GPA for my scholarship.

Throughout my time in 4-H, I have attended countless meetings and fairs, gone on field trips with our club, and even competed at 4-H State Achievement days in both air rifle and livestock judging. Yet the most memorable and beneficial activity I have attended was the 4-H Animal Science Camp held at Penn State University. During the camp I had the opportunity to participate in intense, hands-on workshops. This workshops were quite diverse as they covered everything from animal handling, to grading meat, to even exploring cow rumens as well as sheep and pig reproductive tracts. These workshops were very in-depth and focus heavily on the science of the animals. Considering I was already leaning towards majoring in Agriculture, this camp was

My interest in NYU began at the same time as my kinship with New York City. For years, I was an avid observer of all New York had to offer. I witnessed its vibrant diversity and its willingness to act as an open playground to any burgeoning individual.

Like I mentioned earlier, I go to Capital University in Columbus, Ohio, and the very first thing that I noticed when I got to this school is just how liberal it really is. My favorite example is that the head of our political science department, and the professor that teaches all of my political philosophy classes, is not only the advisor for the Student Socialist Union, but also an active participant. I have yet to find a truly conservative professor on this entire campus. I’ve heard over and over again that capitalism is destroying this country, or that conservatives are out of touch and don’t know what’s going on.
