Recommended: My Experience on Campus

The first time I visited The University of Florida I learned what the phrase “home away from home” really meant. The moment I stepped foot on the campus I fell in love. I was awestruck by the lush green atmosphere, the kind and friendly faces, the immense amount of academic opportunities and achievements the university prides itself on, but most of all I fell in love with the tremendous amount of school spirit. At the University of Florida I plan on furthering my academic achievements, getting involved and asserting myself in the community, and displaying my school spirit and pride.

I plan to join some of the many student run organizations UF has to offer, like a reason to give and the exotic animal club as well as volunteering my time to local wildlife centers.

  • Case Study: Anderson's Travel And Cultural Experiences

    1272 Words  | 3 Pages

    Anderson University stands out from other universities in many ways, with one of the reasons being Anderson’s travel and cultural opportunities. Traveling is an integral part of the learning process. Living or spending time in another country takes a student outside of their realm, literally and emotionally. They are forced into flexibility. The popular term “culture shock” is named that way for a reason. Students can also stretch their worldly knowledge through campus cultural events. While most colleges offer study-abroad options for their students, Anderson students can study-abroad, sign up for a Tri-S trip, or attend campus events if they desire to learn about cultures. Anderson University offers these possibilities to its students, but

  • School In A Nutshell Essay: School In A Nutshell

    1057 Words  | 3 Pages

    While I wish finding my way around the school was my only problem, I was faced with some internal challenges. As the school year started, my friends slowly started to leave to these “big shot” colleges or simply move away to other community colleges. I, too, wanted the complete “college experience” somewhere in Arizona or across the country; yet I felt stuck and unaccomplished. I also felt jealousy which could have been because I did not get to decorate my dorm room.While talking about dedicating hard work to your education, Gina Rodriguez said “Just remember, during those times of fear and doubt, that you are right now discovering your true strength.” And in those times of doubt, I reminded myself why I could not just move and leave everything behind. The root of my challenges and concerns are my family. As I enrolled as a full time student, my family was fighting some financial problems which created marriage troubles for my parents. I could not leave at a time like this. I knew it was not the first time my parents were talking divorce but somehow I knew it was best to stay. I got financial aid from the school which saved me the fuss of asking my parents for money. It really meant so much to not put another worry on their

    As a result, I will become a better critical thinker. By applying this knowledge to real life situations, I can make positive impacts on issues that cause harm to the world. I like to consider myself an animal rights activist. My primary motivation in life is to ensure wildlife is respected. Currently, several animals are being abused for ridiculous reasons. The process of killing or torturing an animal is inhumane and barbaric. I dislike seeing innocent animals mistreated so that we can wear their skin on our bodies, or have their limbs stored in our fridges for food. Someday I would love to change this issue and fight for the lives of the poor animals, which do not get the choice to voice their opinions. If accepted into this program, I will develop better communication and analytical skills, which will help me with fulfilling my aspirations in

    In his book, “Oh, the Places You'll Go!” Dr. Seuss famously wrote: “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.

  • Environmental Studies

    655 Words  | 2 Pages

    Environmental studies is a paramount field to focus on for both the present day and the future. This field of studies pertains to all people, animals, plants, and biomes around the world. Environmental Studying is important because it is only by understands the environmental processes that we can begin to take the steps necessary to correct the on-going damage that is occurring, and ultimately protect and sustain life on the planet. Unless steps are taken to try and abate and control environmental problems, which are often human-generated or exacerbated, then the environmental that we live in will continue to deteriorate. There is no life without protecting the source that sustains us. Even though I have only been alive for seventeen years, it has been long enough to see many negative environmental changes. Since I was born that population has grown by over one billion people causing deforestation, loss of wildlife, increased pollution to both air and water, and even superbugs. However, I have also been able to see extremely positive results such as an increase in the research and implementation of renewable resources. The reason I am so motivated to study environmental science is because I know that change is possible. Those who study environmental science and study have the ability to help reduce, and possible reserve, some of the damage that has been done to the environment while at the same time, helping to advance the well-being of our fellow humans.
