Personal Narrative: My College Application For Armstrong State University

I am a high school senior at Fair Park, looking forward to my first year at Jackson State University in the upcoming fall. My cumulative GPA is currently at a 3.6 average and anticipating to increase next semester. I would be considered the best person to receive a scholarship simply because I go the extra mile to assure my success. Although college is an extensive goal, it could be quite expensive. There is no better way to pay for college than by being awarded money for outstanding academic excellence.

One of the most meaningful accomplishments of my life was my acceptance to Stokes Early College. It is an exceptional program that has allowed me to take college classes while still in high school and graduate with an associate's degree. It was especially challenging for me, because I was previously diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyper-Activity Disorder (ADHD.) However, despite being given this label, I was especially motivated to work hard to achieve the goals important to me. When my acceptance letter came in the mail, I was so excited because I had completed my goal of being accepted to Stokes Early College, and had received a new goal of finishing the program and moving on to a university. Remaining and excelling in the program has required

Since starting the school year in August, my main goal is to become a more educated and well-rounded individual. After almost completing two full semesters here at Sam Houston State University I feel like I have taken steps to fulfill my goal. I know if I keep giving hundred percent towards my education I can achieve any goal I set before myself.

In the 2013 fall semester, I entered Bronx Community College to pursue Dietetics and Nutrition Science, and by grace, I successfully graduate with an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree. Base on my dream, I already took all the nursing prerequisites courses. The prerequisites courses that I took are Introduction to Psychology, Introduction to Sociology, English Composition I and II, Anatomy and Physiology I and II, Probability and Statistics, Human Development, General Chemistry I and II, Microbiology and Infant Control, History and many more.

In the fall of 2005, I took my first steps onto the campus of Appalachian State University with my sister who was entering as a freshman. One of my most vivid memories from my childhood is walking hand in hand with my then eighteen year old, wide eyed, and prospective sister into the Watauga dorms. Afterwards, as we left down King Street, I distinctly remember gazing back towards the magnificent North Carolina mountains and yearning to stay. Even at the age of five, I knew that one day I would follow in her footsteps and become an Appalachian Mountaineer.

My College and Career goals include graduating college and getting a job. I wish to attend the University of Alabama. I plan to major in occupational therapy or speech therapy. After I graduate with my bachelor's degree I wish to get my master's degree. After I finish my schooling I want to receive a job that allows me to provide for my family. I wish to receive this job in my degree's field. After receiving this job I wish to improve to reach a leadership role.

This is a personal narrative that I wrote for my CSU application, and this piece helped me get accepted into Colorado State University. I wrote this piece completely outside of class during the first semester of my senior year. I didn’t take this to a teacher conference, but this is a piece that I am very proud of because I feel like the writing represents my person voice and not a character. However I had trouble figuring out how to put my thoughts into words, but I worked through the confusion and now my word choice flows very nicely.

A great impact that I witnessed that year is when I took the school field trip to numerous colleges close to the city. I had never been to a university or even a community college. Therefore, me going to those visit gave me a greater idea on what type of college I'd like to attend. One of the colleges I remembered we toured to was Lakeland Community College. I really liked the aspects that it has, with the classrooms even the on campus living. Taking trip like that sets your mind up but also prepares you to know what to expect and look for when you are college searching.

You’ve been looking forward to your 4th of July…a weekend of your newly found Independence…when, just a mere two weeks ago you delivered a hand-written, heart-felt note…to You Know Who…scribbling out something like…

Ever since I was a kid I have always thought about what college I was eventually going to go to. I made the decision in high school that I wanted to be a special education teacher, so I thought about some schools that had that teaching program. My number one school I wanted to attend that had the best teaching program was East Carolina University. Having ECU as my number one choice lead me to apply there. Weeks after I applied I got a letter telling me some sad news that I was not accepted. Since I applied to ECU and did not get in, I was now thinking about applying to other schools like Methodist University or maybe a community college.

am writing to you to inform you about my progress at City College. City College has become my second house, and I can say I have been taking advantage of this great new college experience. This past semester was very successful, and interesting; I took four classes which I passed with A’s. Even though I took only four classes, at the beginning it was very difficult to adapt to the big classes with hundreds of students, and long hours of study in order to past tests with good grades. However, all the efforts made this semester helped me to discover new passions on me that did not exist before.

I begin my college career at Armstrong Atlantic State University in August of 2010. Of course as any incoming freshman, you struggle with the adjustments of being on your own and self-sufficient course learning. My freshman year to me was more of an adjustment to the true courses load. During my sophomore year, I became more focused and understood what was require to get the right grades. It was towards the end of my sophomore year that I had to withdraw for a semester due to my father’s diagnosis of cancer. My parents felt it was best to help out financially and to lend a hand with the care of my father. At this point of time, my life and education endeavors was put on hold for the sake of my father. I decided to go back to college after

I felt uninspired at my high school. The routine I created for myself was mundane. The highlights of my day as a sophomore included being first in line to lunch, and that I knew I could go through the motions of school "just fine." I always felt like I had nothing to prove because nothing academically I did felt like had any significance to me. In the state of Washington, high school Juniors and Seniors are allowed to enroll at their local community colleges with their tuition paid for. Curious, I decided to enroll at Pierce College for my final 2 years of "high school." The decision to attend Pierce College has inspired me to expand my worldview and has empowered me to take charge of my intellectual development. I took classes that have enlightened

The rapid beating of my heart that aches to break from the confines of my chest- the very housing that traps it. The cold sweat that fills my skin leaving a chill that exacerbates my rapid thoughts. This is the story of my life: a life in which anxiety possessed a domineering feat upon my will. As a child my notoriously predisposition to worrying has always been prominent. As I have progressed through my life I have become more aware of this controlling element to my life and have consequently fought to oppress it. Nonetheless anxiety has been not my biggest weakness but my most peculiar strength. Anxiety has provided me with the path required to open my doors to discovery and change as I transform from a shy individual to a determined, unrelenting leader.

I am passionate about trying my best. Throughout my high school years, I’ve tried to be as successful as I can. Whether it’s classwork, homework, or tests, I try to prepare myself as much as possible and persevere, even if it is difficult. I usually take my time to do work and make sure that whatever I’m submitting accurately portrays my knowledge and persistence. Though I’m concerned about my success, I am not self-absorbed. I always help others when they’re in need, even if it may seem like a hassle. Helping others motivates me, I cannot let others fail when I know that I’m in a position to help them. Even when I’m asked to help others in an area that I’m not proficient in, I try to assist in the best way I can, whether it means applying
