Recommended: The role of a family in education

During my first semester at Waynesburg University I have learned one thing about myself and multiple things about the college that has really helped with my school work and makes me feel better about who I am. Throughout high school I believed that I was not the smartest person in my school but here at Waynesburg I really cracked down on my studies and have learned that I am actually pretty smart and I encourage myself to get good grades and so do my friends and it makes me feel better about who I am as a person intellectually. Coming to Waynesburg University I have learned different thing about the faculty, classes, students, community, and the atmosphere. I stereotyped college professors off of movies I have watched and thought they were

  • Personal Statement For Deaf Education

    1174 Words  | 3 Pages

    The CSUN campus was amazing. I was able to expand my knowledge of topics that interested me like Deaf literature, Deaf history, ASL linguistics, etc. In addition, I was offered positive Deaf spaces, I was able to meet new and diverse people (teachers, students and other faculty) and I could attend fantastic workshops with speakers that talked about unique subjects such as international sign language, the Deaf Art Movement and the Deaf community in Europe during WWII. Aside from the Deaf Studies program, I was allowed to explore other areas that have always interested me and added to my education. This was becoming a part of the Jewish Studies program. That experience resulted in a scholarship, an internship at a Jewish Community preschool and a trip to Poland. What made CSUN unique was not only the opportunities it gave me as a student but that the Deaf Studies program focused on education in culture. This meant explaining and exploring intersectionality between communities, understanding privilege and how people can identify themselves in this world. I can’t imagine receiving these experiences anywhere

    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.

    I am from a small town and was looking to be part of a community. The town of wayne is very welcoming to students without being too overwhelmingly huge. I loved the small town feel of campus and all the student are very friendly. The class sizes are small and the teachers actually care about getting to know us students. Unlike huge universities I felt like I could get involved with things on campus and really enjoy my time as a student.

    One day I got a letter in the mail saying that I got into a college named The Mariah Paulk College of the Arts. I was not familiar with that college, but I have a feeling my mom did the application process for me. I decided to do my research on the school and found out that it was ranked the number one Ivy League school in the world. I was really surprised at how great of a school it seemed to me. This time mom, doing something without my permission actually worked out.

    In conclusion, I was fortunate enough to understand many important things in life. One of those things is that we do not always begin at the desired start line, but through effort and strong will we can arrive at the desired finish line, where the outcome of our plans and goals reside. In my pursuit of education, I faced many challenges and hardships, but I always viewed them as temporary setbacks not as a finish line. I am certain that an opportunity to study at the UW would help me reach my finish line.

    I became interested in the University of Michigan by researching my family tree. One day, I learned that my grandfather, Lamar Edwards, worked for the university through a program specifically created to recruit fundraisers from Black colleges. The fact that the school had such a program caught my interest, and I found the university's website about their impressive history of diversity. When I saw its dedication to cultural awareness, numerous hands-on research opportunities, and five day a week Japanese classes, the University of Michigan quickly became my top school choice.

  • How My Lone Star College Experience Has Influenced My Life

    721 Words  | 2 Pages

    I would define my experience in Lone Star College as motivating and advancing. As a typical adolescent, I used to believe that community colleges were nothing compared to big universities. As soon as I graduated from high school, I started to apply to all universities I was interested in, even the ones that were located far from my hometown, Venezuela. I was neither considering to study a two-year degree nor considering to study in a small college. However, when I was about to start my career in Venezuela, due to social and economic crisis in the country, universities closed as protests arose, and there was no clue when they would open once again. It was when I realized I had to move from my country and explore new choices to get my degree. Suddenly, I found a small college, located in a nice sector in Texas, called Lone Star College-Montgomery (LSC-M), and my life extremely changed in several aspects.

  • Wofford College Reflection

    223 Words  | 1 Pages

    Wofford College has an outstanding academic program that I would be so grateful to gain knowledge from and learn from great professors and my peers. Most universities and colleges offer internships and programs in the students interests but I believe that Wofford College is different from any of college. I am convinced that Wofford College puts their students first in education and in their future, they provide their students that experiences that will prepare them in the future. One major thing I have learned from my first semester at Roanoke College is that college life and life in general has had many twists, turns, ups and downs and at Roanoke I did not have the support or help from my professors. From what I have observed and heard Wofford

  • Why I Chose An All Womens College

    734 Words  | 2 Pages

    My prejudices remained intact up until the day of my scheduled campus visit, overnight stay, and interview on October 7-8, 2001. Stepping up to the door of the admissions office, many of my resolves all but dissolved, as I was kindly greeted by several groups of women who guided me through registration, campus tours, alumnae speeches, and a most excellent dinner, attended by the College President and a presentation of classical music played by four talented young women. I was absolutely enthralled by the beauty of the campus, and pleasantly taken aback by the size, cleanliness, and grandeur of the residence halls. Though these things did help to curtail much of my cynicism about the “all-women college”, I believe that the experience that really attracted me to Bryn Mawr began when my hostess picked me up in the admissions office.

  • What I've Learned about Myself this First Semester of College

    So throughout this semester I have learned more than I thought about myself. I have learned about my skills, values, strengths, weaknesses and goals for the future. I have learned about what motivates me to be in college and what keeps me here now that I am here. I have learned what it takes to keep myself healthy and prepared to what is to come while also preparing myself for what I want to do in the future. I have also learned without all the great people here at Ohio University that I would never have the opportunity to be as happy as I am today. I am seriously proud to be a bobcat and I would have it no other way.

    This week at Bowling Green State University an event known as campus fest took place. The campus was lined with student organizations who were handing out information about themselves.
