Hello Yuri, Thank You for all of you tips and tricks to surviving Bakersfield College. It is truly an important aspect when juggling school, work, and personal life. Congratulations on all that you have accomplished thus far. I am sure you are excited to move on to the next chapter of your life. Sounds to me like you are a very determined young lady. Foster care has always been something I have been interested in as well. I really commend you for all of your efforts in making this world a better place. Along with being a student at Bakersfield College, I am also a wife and mother of two boys. Creating goals and achieving them is very important to me. It hasn't been easy attending college while also juggling my personal life, but I know in
One of the proudest accomplishments of my life was earning my high school diploma, despite all the hard work that led me where I am today was well worth it. Many people would expect me to say I am coming to college to better myself as a person or to continue my education. The truth is I want to change a life in my community, make my parents proud of their daughter and start a tradition in my family.
While I wish finding my way around the school was my only problem, I was faced with some internal challenges. As the school year started, my friends slowly started to leave to these “big shot” colleges or simply move away to other community colleges. I, too, wanted the complete “college experience” somewhere in Arizona or across the country; yet I felt stuck and unaccomplished. I also felt jealousy which could have been because I did not get to decorate my dorm room.While talking about dedicating hard work to your education, Gina Rodriguez said “Just remember, during those times of fear and doubt, that you are right now discovering your true strength.” And in those times of doubt, I reminded myself why I could not just move and leave everything behind. The root of my challenges and concerns are my family. As I enrolled as a full time student, my family was fighting some financial problems which created marriage troubles for my parents. I could not leave at a time like this. I knew it was not the first time my parents were talking divorce but somehow I knew it was best to stay. I got financial aid from the school which saved me the fuss of asking my parents for money. It really meant so much to not put another worry on their
In conclusion, my aspiration has grown due to the passionate and dedicated professors I have encountered in all of my classes so far at Minneapolis Community and Technical College. I could not see myself anywhere else but here. I have experienced the knowledge my professors bring to class, their gift of bringing my abilities out, and being able to eliminate my anxiety. I continue to remain focused and believe that I will succeed by receiving daily assurance from classmates and my professors. I do not see myself experiencing any of this, that I have experienced at Minneapolis Community and Technical College, at any other university.
I plan to exemplify and emphasize scholarship, leadership, character, citizenship, and service in my school by pushing myself to the limit and acting as a superb model for my peers. This includes giving advice to my classmates, putting my best effort in all of my classes, being kind to everyone that I meet, showing people ways they can make an impact on our society, and spreading positive messages throughout Rocky Run Middle School. I will use the full extent of my abilities to serve and shape my community by showing people the consequences of hard work and effort. As a member of the Rocky Run Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society, I wish to help people, lead people, and show people wisdom.
“We made it, Class of 2016!” triumphantly concluded the senior class president at the Naugatuck High School’s graduation ceremony. She quickly nodded, the cue for the concert band to play the school’s anthem “Greyhound Fight Song.” As I played my flute and watched the ceremony close, I wondered if my own graduation would be identical. In two years, I would likely become valedictorian and sincerely address the peers I had grown up with since kindergarten.
I have a lot of confidence in succeeding in both my small and large goals, especially after learning how much my personality traits are inclined with my current major and my career goals. The personality tests I have taken confirmed to me that I have found a career path that I truly enjoy and that I know I will be able to succeed in. After struggling the first time I attended college, in major I was not suited for, I failed. Now that I have taken on a major that I deeply care about, the work load does not seem as overwhelming. It proves that when you care about something, it is much easier to continue and succeed. Now that I not only have a strong desire to accomplish my goals, but also a strong action plan to achieve them, I feel that there is nothing holding me back from achieving even the biggest goals I have for myself.
Have you ever been so nervous for a big event that was only a couple of days away ? What about the moment you have been waiting for your whole life ? I have , that big moment was my high school graduation.The best moment of my life and also the scariest. It took a lot of preparation to get me ready such as the perfect dress, the perfect hairstyle , and building the self conscious up to go.
Ok, its 12:15 and I just walked into my house from seeing a movie with three of my best friends and I have to write this speech. A speech that’s suppose to inspire all of you, and tell you how the future has so much to hold for the class of 2015, how the possibilities are endless. Right now I’m probably standing in the front of the class and supposed to be addressing all of you as “fellow graduates, or to the class of 15’”. But that’s not what I’m going to do. I put this off as I do with the majority of my work thinking I would just write something everyone expects to hear, but instead I wrote this.
As I am preparing for a new chapter in my life, I have put a lot thought in about what I want out of life and what to look forward to as I get older. In order for one to achieve anything, they need to set goals to reach for. I have a handful of goals for my future, short term and long term, that I will actively work towards in my college years and beyond. In my time at UW Eau Claire, I plan to be involved and engaged in student activities on campus. Being active will help me meet new people, build a better resume, and have fun at college. At UWEC, I would like to get involved in anything musical, along with various clubs and Greek life. Similarly, another goal of mine is to have a job on campus. Having a job will not only help me make some
Today completes the chapter of our lives that we have been comfortable with for the past 13 years. High school may be over, but we still have a long exciting way to go in life. From our four-year experience we will take with us the memories, good and bad, and relationships we have made with each other and the County High School staff. From these experiences we have learned and grown and will continue to do so. Growing up and moving on will be a huge part of our lives in the next few months. The decisions we will make come in-part from the choices we have already made.
I stand here before you and just count my blessings on how lucky I must be to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. Never in a million years I thought I would have second thoughts about retirement. I just want to thank Dr. Jackson for giving me my internship after college and seeing something in me I didn’t see in myself at the time being. Thank you quoting the famous Dr. Martin and continuously reminding me “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in the moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at the times of challenge and controversy”. So thank you.
It was one of the most exciting and nerve racking days of our lives. Although we were finally leaving high school, the feeling of being unsure didn’t go away. The whole day was full of practicing for the big moment when the entire class graduated on to a new beginning. All the girls wore shiny bright red robes and the guys were dressed in a shiny navy blue. Standing there, I had no idea what to expect. Some things I were aware of, my friends were leaving and we wouldn’t be the same friends anymore. My role was that of being so aware of the future that I was too shocked to soak in the present; being a pessimist was my main goal and everything I was sure of became true.
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Sitting in the backseat of the car, I used to bombard my family with these questions. On our summer road trips I was so anxious for the destination that I failed to appreciate the journey. However, as time passed and I grew older, I realized that it was the journey that was important and not the destination.
It is always difficult as things come to an end, and even more difficult to say goodbye, but we cannot look at this as goodbye. This is simply a farewell until we meet again. We wish you all the best in your futures and hope that everything you achieve is what you expected and more – as we know you are all going to do great things. Wherever you may go, never be afraid to accept challenges and take on all challenges you may face head on. And remember, life 's a dance, you learn as you go!
To begin something new, you must sacrifice something old. To enter the real world, you must graduate your childhood.
