After my Freshman year I was currently sitting at 26 credits, I needed 4 more credits in order to enroll for Accounting 230 to stay on track to certify on time. During my group advising appointment Spring 2016, I was recommended to take my biological science, which included a lab that would allow me to reach my 30 credits. I figured that this Biology 102 course, "General Biology", would be a course that I would be able to handle while balancing a full time job. I do not use financial aid so I am expected to be able to cover all my living expenses, only using a summer job for income. Summer 2016, I was working an operator position at a manufacturing company that picked up their most business during the summer. My job originally had me posted
During my freshman year in high school, my mother remarried and I had to move from Colorado to Kentucky. One year later, we relocated back to Colorado after they divorced. During my junior year in high school, my mother remarried again and I had to change schools again, although we remained in Colorado. Thus, I did not have a sense of continuity during high school and although I recognized that my path would lead me to college, I was not ready to commit myself to school full time. Instead I went to work full time as a grocery clerk and worked my way up to assistant manager. I then moved into customer service work and finally fell into an advertising manager position. I took several night courses during this period until I was ready to commit to school full time. Although I could have continued with work, I knew that it was not what I wanted to do and once I committed myself to attending school and realized that I wanted to study Sociology, I have proven myself to be an above average student. This past year, I earned all "A"s in my courses.

Writing essays was never my forte, it just never came easy to me like it would to others. Since other subjects came easy to me and I had to focus more than others on writing, I had a negative attitude toward the process as a whole. During this summer semester, I was able to grow as a writer, and gain a more positive attitude toward how I write and a better feel for writing in college. Writing a paper is a process in which there are many different stages. In high school I would never write outlines or any sort of pre planning work. Other struggles I encountered in my writing were my theses, and framing quotes.
My name is Valorie M Altamirano, and I am a Central Arizona College graduate with an Associate degree in Fire Science Technology. Unfortunately, my degree does not meet the liberal study requirements to seek a Bachelor's degree. In order to achieve my goals, it is necessary that I complete seven General Study courses. The hold-up for continuing my education is unemployment, ineligibility for a Pell grant and a hold for a $252 charge that will prevent future
Writing a decent essay can be nerve racking, time consuming, and can be accompanied by many trial and errors such as an art project. First you have to generate an idea, which can be the biggest challenge of them all. Then you have to decide on what details to incorporate and the placement for it. You begin to throw colors and shapes together in hopes that it will transform into a pleasing design. This all takes time, being challenged to create artwork, whether it be an essay or a painting, in sixty minutes becomes even more nerve racking and mind boggling. After last week’s timed writing practice, I was able to experience the dreadful event of producing a piece of artwork, which in my case was to deliver an essay,
One thing that people often overlook when writing an essay is not what the college can do for you, but what you can do for the college. With that in mind the attributes that I possess would make a great addition to and benefit the college greatly. My ability to speak in front of large crowds, lead, and my thirst for knowledge have sshasfdafy
Initial Reflective Essay When I first thought of what I wanted to do with my life after college, the first thing I thought of was helping people. The next step in deciding what I wanted to do with my life was to examine how I could accomplish this goal. I started pondering and I was thinking about how much I love to take care of my body. Health care and personal hygiene has always been an important factor in my life. So I decided to major in Health Sciences.
Over the past semester I have learned many things in my English class, educationally and through life lessons. Ms. Henry took the tedious, standard, subject of English and turned it into moral and intellectual lessons we can use in our daily lives. I latched onto the secret life of bees, serial, and the debate, out of the topics we went over this semester.
Up until this year, before taking the class intermediate composition, I thought I was a terrible writer. I was right. Writing isn’t something that I enjoy doing, nor am I good at. Writing is difficult for me because I’m not very good at explaining things in a professional manner, that can be easily well written. While writing you are expected to make little to no mistakes, which is not something I’m great at. I am so much better at explaining things with verbal words rather than written words. I had not taken any extra writing classes before this year rather than the mandatory ones. Like I had stated before, I hate writing, with a passion. I dread writing anything, especially an essay for school, like this one. I’m
The process of preparing for college is an arduous process. College is an instrument used to have a successful life. However, getting into college is difficult. The competition for college admittance is extremely high. Most students do not take the necessary actions to ensure their admittance. Consequently, many students do not get attend their ideal college. Therefore, I have taken steps to make certain that I attend the college of my choice, By taking care of my class ranking, actively participating in school functions, and researching my intended degree, I have set myself up to attend the college of my choice.
I take full ownership of that choice but support my statement in my September 30, 2013 letter that "The grade listed on my transcript for the BUS 635-801 course does not represent me, my efforts or my ability to succeed in this program. This is an outlying situation that, unfortunately, had an adverse effect on me during this past 2013 Summer Session. " I have enclosed with this letter the
As a part of my degree requirements I am required to partake in a expatriate year and there are requirements pertaining to the classes that have to be taken before my application can be accepted. Unfortunately, after many requests my English classes from foundation year were not accepted. I have to complete an online advance English class before my departure and the most susceptible time is during the first portion of my co-op July 5- Aug 23. Completing this requirement during this time will allow me to submit my application for my expatriate year during the fall semester of 2017 and place me on track to continue my degree and graduate on time. Consequently, if I don't complete this class there is a chance my application will not be accepted and I will have to drop out of my program. At this point having to drop out of my program with just a short amount of time remaining would be detrimental to my academic success and future endures. In addition, to hindering me from using the scholarship aid in the most meaningful way. While I greatly appreciate the chance to attend Northeastern, I'm afraid I will be unable complete my degree and continue pursing my passion. I’m asking that given the circumstances, that the committee grant me this opportunity. I am serious about my future and I
I knew that enrolling for college would require a good deal of me, and I was willing to put forth the effort to improve my future. I thought I could handle the workload and I still think I could have, had I had a stable living environment then. Before I enrolled to HCC I had a permanent address living with my mother for 18 years but, it came to an end right before the fall 2013 semester finals, thus making me miss my Math 1308 final. I possessed no other alternative but to live with my grandmother who lived 30 minutes from the HCC central but, her offer was on a temporary basis.
Unfortunately, I took on two math courses and one of the hardest computer science courses in the department. The weight of these courses caught
this semester i wanted to gain knowledge about who i am as a person and what i wanted to be when i am older.i started this semester by thinking about what i love to do most, or in this case what i thought i would enjoy to spend time doing and learn more about it. I was thinking about possibly interning for lockheed martin but i wasn't 18 at the beginning of the semester so i couldn't do that. i had also thought about possibly doing something with ceramics, but didn't have a place to do it; or any idea what what i wanted to do with that. So i decided to try doing the baking and pastry arts. i thought to myself that, well i've always love to bake, and maybe i could possibly apply my ceramics skills to the cake making process. I had tried emailing many different companies to see if i could possibly intern with them, with no luck. instead i ended up with an angry letter from a bakery, and a bunch of “we already have an intern, im sorry.” But i wasn't going to let that deter me from what i had finally set my mind to do. so i talked with mr.. handy and we discussed online classes. I ended up taking the online courses on mondays, taking notes and learning alot. on tuesdays i decided i would gather materials and start the baking process of what i had learned the day before on monday. On wednesdays i decided i wanted to do my volunteering. i wasn't so sure where i wanted to do my service hours, but i knew i wanted to try something new and not as far away like the same cafe. my friend megan boyles said she was doing her service hours at buffalo ridge elementary and gave me the information to also get started there. I got all set up, and started to work with the kindergartners, third graders, and the ssn children (special...
