Personal Narrative: Arvada School Of Corporate Admissions

Before my experience in my College Readiness Program, I pictured going into college a completely different way. I now feel prepared and excited to move into a dorm and be a responsible young adult.

Everything in life happens for a reason. Every experience, whether it be good or bad, can teach a lesson. We all have to deal with mistakes, tragedies, and failures. Being able to learn from them is an essential principle for personal and professional growth. Our experiences add character to our personalities and mold us into who we are. They can make or break a person. For me, it was both. I believe that the lessons I learned through my mistakes have prepared me in becoming an accurate representation of what it means to be a Price College of Business student.

I am interested in the business major because I plan on using what I will have learned in this major putting it toward what I want to do in my future, whether it be continuing on my dad’s business or starting something of my own. I have been around it all of my life with my dad owning two concrete businesses, I know what it is like to have a career in business. From growing up around it and eventually working for my dad I have learned the effort, time and dedication it takes. Those are reasons why I want to go into a major in business, because those are all traits that I have and that would really help for me to succeed.

First and foremost, no matter what, I will complete the remaining 10-12 classes in order to get my BS in business. The road to earning this degree has been long and tedious – through single-parenting hardships, surgeries, and grandchildren – nonetheless, I move forward. Another goal currently in progress is to engage in the successful launch of a protocol that I have written. After completing the final touches with the copyright office, the marketing process will begin. Currently, it is under review with the Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse, Neglect, and Fatalities, and My Florida Market Place has accepted me as a vendor. This protocol was created to keep third party agency social workers in compliance because the ‘in-house quality control’

During the past three years at Montgomery College, I can say that I’ve changed my major about ten times. At first it was from becoming an obstetrician, to midwife, pediatric nurse, social worker, ultrasound technician, school counselor and the list goes on, but I’ll stop here before I bored you. It is now my last semester at Montgomery College and I realized after changing my major so many times, there was one thing that every single one of these careers had in common. Working with mothers to be and infants, I said to myself “this is my passion”. As I was doing my research, I came across the topic of “maternal and child health” and under that topic the university of Maryland at college park was one of the links that was provided. I didn’t

I’m Sandy and I am obtaining my Accounting Degree from Regis University. After this semester, I’ll have six courses left to complete my degree and should graduate after the spring semester of 2018. As part of my degree, I need two Religious Study courses. My spring semester of 2015 I took Phi114 Comparative Religions. I enjoyed the course and it was interesting to learn about various religions including the choice to have no religious faith or belief in an afterlife. My parents believed in God and Christ, but did not attend church or affiliate themselves with a particular religion. My parents wanted me to make my own decision regarding belief and faith. My uncle introduced me to Catholic Church as a child, but I did not remain in the Catholic

The simple question had left me stumbling. I had expected to discuss my collegiate aspirations with the interviewer, but up until that exact moment, I never realized how difficult it would be to formulate a cogent response; my interests seemed too widespread and distinct to ever be integrated into a single pathway.

I understand being down this road before, I attended business school after high school, I was able to complete my program while working two, sometimes three, part-time jobs and attended night training to be a state certified first responder and firefighter. Although I succeeded with each, the schedule became tiresome very quickly, I don’t feel that I gave it my all because the focus was too wide. Like you, I plan to schedule time during the week to give my studies my “full” focus.

Throughout my college search I visited numerous different types of universities, from small private religious schools to schools in one of the biggest cities in the United States. After all of my visits I began to narrow down my top schools by what I value. It was clear what was extremely important to me, rigor.

In today’s digital world, young-peoples soft-skills are becoming far more valuable than content knowledge. From every school I’ve worked with, visited, and competed against, the schools with the strongest sports programs seem to correlate with the strongest academic schools in our area. Then when I view how I can impact young-people the best, I feel the answer is as an athletic-administrator and as a coach, environments that soft skills such as teamwork, collaboration, and work ethic are stressed the most. Because of this, I am looking to take a leap in my career, by applying for acceptance in your Master’s in Athletic Administration Program.

My eyes suddenly lit up after mindlessly scanning the list. “Introduction to Business?,” I thought to myself as I scanned the document. For a couple of years now and counting, my school has decisively partnered with Crafton Hills Community College to allow current high school students to take select college classes after their regular set of classes for no additional cost; every semester, counselors give their juniors and seniors a sheet of paper detailing classes available and until recently, I had not found a course I was remotely interested in. Despite it not being my college major, I have always been engrossed in business and recognized that this was my chance to study a passion of mines. Estatically, I tried to check the box next to “Introduction

I had a tough time in a business class in the past that I found difficult and was seeking help from others in the class to help me out. I learned from this that by seeking help from others can help me work through anything and this helped me to get up to a higher grade in the class and also was able to earn 3 college credits from the University of Iowa on the comprehensive examination they offered our

During my eighth grade year at Fifer Middle School in Camden, Delaware, I served as the president for my school's Business Professionals of America (BPA) chapter. I competed under "website design" in which my group and I designed a website that would represent our school's Special Olympics organization. Though our work allowed us to enter the finals in the regional competition, we did not place high enough to attend the national competition. However, my club supervisor at the time arranged my group to spectate the competitions at Orlando. I was not notified of this opportunity and was told that I was unable to attend due to problematic arrangements at the hotel. Though I do understand that hotel arrangements may have been difficult if I were

For the entirety of my school years I have always been awful at math. I really started to struggle with it during high school I barely passed most of my math classes but I never really got the jist of what was being taught. Which is why I knew immediately I did not want to major in engineering. The biggest problem with this major is all the math involved, because math is not my strong suit I wouldn’t be able to work to my best ability so my job would not feel very successful. I think I need a career that I can strive in and know that I am good at it so that the result will be just as good. I also would like a career that doesn’t require as much math as an engineer has to. This is why I do not want to major in engineering.

At Yale, I serve and engage greatly with the East Asian community outside of merely studying Chinese. I am one of two Freshman Liaisons who staff at the Asian American Cultural Center, a job which involves the programming and facilitation of events which celebrate Asian Culture in addition to raising awareness about issues of identity and wellbeing among the Asian community. With the Chinese language more specifically, I am a board member of CASPY, or the Chinese Adopted Siblings Program at Yale, and am currently in contact with staff at the Yale China association in hopes of resurrecting an organized Lion Dance Team on campus. With my positions in the AACC and CASPY especially, I am planning on continuing my work, with the eventual hope of
