Recommended: The importance of attending college

My interest to attend UMD dates back to when I heard my brother say, “If you get in, you are in the best school in the state!” After watching him graduate from College Park in 2008, I had decided that I wanted to attend UMD from then on because of the beautiful campus and diverse environment that welcomes everyone.

That moment changed my life and to this day I dream of attending UMD to walk across that stage and my family watching me get my degree, just like my brother.

I went to my classes, did my work, but never really pushed myself to my full potential.

  • Personal Narrative: My Transition To College

    244 Words  | 1 Pages

    My transition to college was successful, but it was nonetheless one of the most stressful times in my life. Unlike many of my peers at Saint Louis University, my rural high school experience did not truly prepare me for the academic rigors of college. Despite extensive preparation, I performed rather poorly on the first round of exams. While I didn’t fail any particular exam, my performance was seriously lacking. I knew that getting C’s on exams would not serve me well in the pursuit of my dream of becoming a physician. I remember feeling, for the first time in my life, that I was unintelligent and incompetent. I was also heavily fatigued from the excessive hours of studying, which I felt were necessary to reconcile the problem. I managed to

The main focus in our eyes was to do well in school, because it was the only place we received appraisal and guidance. Overall my life has been hard, yet these setbacks have helped me in ways unnoticed by the average person.
