My first week at Southern Vermont College has been great. There isn't anything I would complain about it. Vermont is very different from South Florida, where my family and I reside, but I enjoy it. The campus is a very peaceful environment. The mountains and green scenery is breath taking. When I came to SVC I expected the college to be very small and not really have too much going on. To my surprise, I was wrong. The school is surrounded by so much land that it appears larger than what it is. I realized there is more to the campus than what is shown on the internet. I also expected the food service to be poor but I was wrong. The food service is excellent. We are served hot breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In addition, there are variety of different dishes. Not only are there variety, we also have the choice of a deli/sandwich bar if students are hungry at different times of the day. The cafeteria also gives us the luxury to go in and scan our student ID cards limitless from the time it opens all the way to the time it closes. I love food, …show more content…
The basketball program here has been successful in the past and continues to make great progress. This year I came in as a freshman and have been told countless amount of times that this year’s basketball team may be one of the best group of basketball players SVC has had. I trust that this basketball team is going to be special, so I'm excited to get started. Academically the school work load is not strenuous. The professors do give a good amount of work, but the tutors along with a few great professors who actually want to see students succeed in the classroom, offer a great amount of help to students who needs some guidance in the classroom. I feel that this makes a great learning environment. I’ve also meet some great individuals. My first week experience at Southern Vermont College has been a great
My first two weeks on campus were great. When I first walked on to the campus, it felt very foreign like I was in another country. I didn’t feel connected yet and still felt like a visitor. Most of the time I didn’t know exactly where I was going and of course, I didn’t want to look like a freshman. Eventually, I did find where I was going, after going to Cajun connection.
You often hear people rant and rave about cafeteria food, you could have heard this through movies, or just from peers. Jackson is no exception. While I will give the food here at Jackson a passing quality factor, the measly portions lead me to believe the schools on some type of welfare system.
Both on an off the field, my enthusiasm and motivation to obtain a goal is a trait that I am very proud of. I have faced many tasks where a leader had needed to step up and I am always willing to do so. I am also willing to get help when I need it. If I can’t complete a task by myself I do not mind asking a classmate, teammate, friend or a teacher for guidance. By bringing that openness and leadership to University of Charleston’s Athletic Training Program I believe that I can also attribute to the University of Charleston’s Mission Statement “to educate each student for a life of productive work, enlightened living, and community involvement.” By bettering the Athletic Training community by providing care to our Athletes I believe that I will be a great addition to the Athletic Training
Prompt: In 500 words or more, describe your collegiate experience thus far. How has this experience and the knowledge you've gained influenced what you plan to study? How have they influenced your decision to apply to St. Edward's?
When most people talk about Burlington, they almost never have anything good to say. After high school, people constantly ask you, “What are your plans after graduating?” If you say that you’re planning on staying here to go to SCC, people often don’t have an encouraging attitude. Some would even say that Burlington is a place people end up being “stuck” in. Those words usually have negative connotations behind them. Who said Burlington is all bad? I am here to tell you a few reasons why I don’t think that Burlington is such a bad place to be “stuck” in, after all.
There is never enough of anything in the life of a college student. there is never enough time to study, or enough food, or enough money, or enough time to sleep. But, if that student becomes a college athlete then all of the “or’s” change to “and’s”. Even though there are many struggles of a college athlete they are not going away. As the youth of America watches their older counterparts excel in many college sports, a dream to become an athlete at the collegiate level is sparked. This dream is fueled through high school sports and then disseminated by high school counselors. Counselors who are quick to remind that sports do not bring home a paycheck. Neverless, this dream of college sports thrives and is present in the mind of every high
In all the freedom and choices a college student can face, food is a major one. The campus cafeteria selection...
According to the College Health website, “No one is immune from stress, but those entering the ivory towers of college are particularly vulnerable to it.” Attending college for the first time gave me a feeling of displacement, nonetheless, I maintained my sense of priority, I am here to learn, here to excel, and here to focus on my objective.
I was invited on a visit to the University of Central Missouri to discuss my future with playing softball there. Two weeks later I verbally committed to continue my softball career at UCM and I could not be more thankful or happy. Hard work goes unnoticed by those who have never had to work hard for something they truly love and are passionate about. Having gone through the path I did to get to where I am, has not only made be a better softball player but a better person. From my experiences, I have learned how to motivate people. I love to help people when they are down and don’t believe in their abilities. I know what it is like to be at the bottom, I know what it is like to have no one believe in you. Believe in yourself, exceed your limits, work harder than you ever thought you
The day has finally come. Move-in day for Johnson C. Smith University “Home of the Golden Bulls.”I marked my calendar every day faithfully. I dreamt of this glorious day after I proudly had walked to stage at my senior graduation for high-school. I was fresh out of high school, ready to pursue my dreams and become a step closer to reaching my goal in hopes of becoming a doctor. I made constant lists and like, Santa Claus, “I made my list and checked it twice.” I endured lack of sleep of packing and filling my living room with of the necessary and miscellaneous things for survival. I would be the first child (even though I am the middle child of seven) to be the furthest away from home.
In High school, I was a very passive student, I often struggled with discipline a lot. I usually tend to be a constant procrastinator and ending up with poor marks because of it. For this reason, I know that my procrastination due to lack of discipline can it can potentially hinder my success at Vanguard College. Therefore, I came up with strategies and certain things that need to change in my life so that I can succeed at Vanguard College. These include cultivating discipline, ending procrastination through better time management and identifying my strengths and weaknesses.
My first year in college has been a rewarding experience. As I look back on my Why College, Why Now essay, I realize that I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about myself. I am proud that I accomplished my goals I made in my first year of college and I exceeded my expectations. I still have the same goal for the future, but I added more goals for the future. I am attending Wilmington University because I want to make my future brighter. Attending college and earning a degree in communication media will help me obtain an exciting job as a professional journalist.
One of the biggest obstacles I have been facing since I came to Augusta University, is my language barrier. Growing up in China, I came to the United States right before school started in August 2015. I still remembered that, at that time, I had to rely on friends to help me order my food whenever I went out to eat. However, I am blessed to have all the professors and peers to help me survive the initial language barrier and cultural shock. They are extremely patient when explaining things to me, most of the time with body languages. Some of them even spent their time correcting my pronunciation with their own busy routine. I have been trying my very best to learn and adapt. I studied my academic materials both in English and Mandarin to gain
“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something in your life” said Winston Churchill. I was faced with a situation at Bethel University that has been the biggest problem I have ever faced in my life. I was accused of harassment. Bethel University handles this problem with little to no evidence just a statement from someone, and that wasn’t the only problem. Bethel also took everything away from me without having all the information, and basically only allowing me to go to class which hurt my reputation as a student. I kept asking myself why didn’t Bethel University stand up for me, and why was I treated unfairly by the administration, faculty, and security. The administration treated me as if I was a criminal before I even had time to take in,
The cafeteria is not merely a place for small children; now that I am in college, I spend more time in the cafeteria than ever. Living in the dorms, I have no kitchen or any other place to cook. Instead, I have a meal plan that offers me fourteen meals each week at the Stanford/Hecht cafeteria. I eat lunch and dinner there as my two meals on most days. But, I do not and cannot go to the cafeteria and just get food. I get much more.
