    The main component I look for in college is their commitment to further my studies. I feel this college will provide an ingenious culture within the science field, therefore rendering myself with the building blocks necessary to later pursue the medical field. Not only does UNCW devote itself towards their student’s undergraduate years, but also by providing Professional pathways such as Pre-Medicine, students such as myself can go into Professional schools better prepared. In addition to my interest in the academics the school has to offer, I also marvel at the amount of extracurricular activities available to the student body.

  • Comparison Essay: Military Life Vs. Civilian Life

    1104 Words  | 3 Pages

    For civilians seeking a new career, they are forced with having to pay for the training or expensive college costs unlike the military members. The military has an array of special jobs that you are able to choose from upon entering or at any time during their career. In the military, personnel are paid while in school learning their specific job, unlike the civilian sector who usually must maintain a job in order to have a steady income. A lot of the companies in today’s business world will not hire you without some type of degree. Many civilian college students have a hard time finding a job even with a specialized degree. For many who serve in any branch of the United States Military, once their enlistment is complete, job searching becomes a priority. There are many companies that will consider hiring a former military man or woman before they will hire a person with or without formal training, in part, because of the responsibilities that the military puts on one and the strict discipline military training provides.

    August 30th move in day here at Southern New Hampshire University, boy was I excited. I had spent weeks gathering my things and preparing for my big move into college. Once I had settled on that warm summer day I said goodbye to my parents and started my journey as a student at SNHU. I remember how I felt the first couple of weeks full of excitement to meet people and become part of the SNHU community. Although full of excitement I began to second-guess myself, I had felt very dissatisfied with my living situation for a great deal of the first semester. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to move into Washington with another student, which has been great. I find as I spend more time here at SNHU the more it feels like home.

  • Refletive Essay

    670 Words  | 2 Pages

    Most individuals that enter into military service reflect positively of the time and work they invested in for the number of years they enlist for. I personally look at the past very differently, I am not one to bash former employment because if I were to employ anyone I would hope for the same but I give credit where credit it due since I was expected to learn my job, teach when I can of my occupation and grow as an individual. After my first year of service I felt that a lifelong Army career was not going to be where I wanted to end up in the long run because I felt like I had no sense of accomplishment proud enough and call my own. I took it upon myself to learn everything I could about 3D design and applications to gaming because it was always something I had an interest in growing up and I will talk about the subject of design for longs periods of time when given the chance. For three years of active duty service I would always carry the idea in the back of my head that I would have to just deal with the next couple of years as best I could but be sure that I did my job in the military as my units communication manager as well as on the ground operator to the best of my ability.

When I decided to start my journey, I had to select a major. It only seemed natural that I should select a degree in EM. The last 22 years of my Marine Corps career I worked in a career field closely aligned with the principles of saving lives, preventing human suffering, and mitigating grave property damage. Having a degree in EM will improve my understanding of the human dynamics associated with emergency management. I also recognized that having a degree will position me for assignments or employment opportunities of greater responsibility. It also must be noted that a college education is quite expensive, but as a military veteran of a nation tha...
