Freshman Year Reflection First, I would like to thank the Louie F. Cox Memorial AK Steel Foundation and the Middletown Community Foundation for their continued support as I pursue my education. My first year at Case Western Reserve University has been incredible and I found many opportunities to grow academically, spiritually, and socially. During my first few weeks on campus, I joined the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and also earned a seat on the executive board as membership chair. NSBE has allowed me to enhance my networking skills, advocate for diversity, and engage with the campus community. I also mentored high school students through the NSBE Jr. program and volunteered at engineering-themed events throughout the greater Cleveland area. A major highlight of this year was attending the National NSBE Convention in Kansas City, MO and meeting Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. His advice on finding a career in Silicon Valley was especially helpful, as I declared my academic path: a double major in computer science and business management (with a specialization in supply chain management) and a minor in data science. My professors and advisors have been phenomenal throughout my academic journey, and they are genuinely interested in my …show more content…

I was hired as a campus tour guide at the end of my fall semester and really enjoy welcoming prospective students and their families to CWRU. At the end of the spring semester, I was hired as a career coach at the University Career Center. This position officially begins at the start of the Fall 2017 semester and I will help undergraduate and graduate students with interview skills and resume writing. I also assist in planning the campus career fairs and create presentations for networking workshops. This summer, I am working in Cincinnati as an intern at Northrop Grumman Xetron as part of their cyber and intelligence mission solutions

    497 Words  | 1 Pages

    I am so thankful that I chose Grand Valley State University to pursue my Bachelor’s degree. When I first embarked on the path towards higher education, GVSU stood out as the most affordable four-year institution on my short list, but could’ve never imagined the doors it would open for me. My support network of chosen family and mentors has massively grown, and from them I have learned so much. After experiencing the racial exclusivity and homoantagonism of my previous college, I emerged with renewed zeal for challenging bigoted notions, dismantling systemic barriers, and effecting change in the world around me.

  • Embry-Riddle Analysis

    1298 Words  | 3 Pages

    I am writing you with my concerns about a campuswide attitude that is ignored, even encouraged by Embry-Riddle. I hope to raise awareness about the experiences that I have had, as a female, on campus this year. As a female, I do not feel welcome at this university. Embry-Riddle talks a great deal about how they want more women to attend the school, encouraging them to pursue a career in engineering. Females are even offered an automatic scholarship to attend, but this is not enough.  Everyone has the right to feel comfortable and safe on this campus, but misogynistic ideas are rampant and encouraged at Embry-Riddle. I always looked forward to college and hoped to meet peers with similar interests for intelligent discussions, but I never expected

  • Ashford University Personal Statement

    600 Words  | 2 Pages

    I am enrolled as a student at Ashford University in the Bachelor of Arts Program. My major is library science and media. My ultimate goal is not to become a teacher, despite the required education courses required to earn this degree. The library science and media major is relevant to my chosen profession because the role of the library is changing and evolving, much like today’s classrooms, with technology. For almost three years, my job title has been library branch manager/library assistant III. I intend to continue in this field with aspirations of being offered a full-time position and/or better pay. I enjoy working for and getting to know the people in the community, who visit the library. Often times, my patrons make me feel more appreciated than those who I employed by. I enjoy helping my patrons find books and movies and assisting them with the computers as they need me. The library is a safe and welcoming environment for all, and I like being part of that.

  • Community College Reflection

    662 Words  | 2 Pages

    I had difficulty transferring to TCNJ from my community college. Attending the college was a culture shock for me, because I differed so much from the students in terms of socioeconomic status and interests. I dealt with untreated depression my two years in community college, and when I went away to college, my symptoms only got worse. In addition, a year ago from this April my brother attempted suicide, which I stowed away within me when I went away to college. Going away to college, the fall after that April, meant I could not be aware of his status and what he was doing. This terrified me and I further spiralled downward. In the fall, I went through phases of extreme sadness and extreme happiness. I had difficulty concentrating and my school work became increasingly difficult.

  • Reflection of My High School Experience

    970 Words  | 2 Pages

    1. I encountered the most significant challenge when I moved to Canada in January, 2012. Before I came to Canada, my English grade was very good in China, thus, I thought living and studying in Canada would not be too difficult. However, I did not do well in the ESL evaluation at all, and I was placed in ESL 1 at my high school. Most of my classmates there spoke very little English, and they did not spend much time and effort on studying English. It was very difficult for me to study if I wanted to be their friends and at that time, they were the only friends I had in Canada. However, I expected much more effort from myself. I studied very hard and became the 2nd fastest ESL students ever to complete ESL 1 to 4 in my high school. Today, when I recall what I have accomplished, I think I learnt to trust myself and at the same, success in anything only comes from hard work.
