Hello, smarties, Hope this email finds you well (and enthusiastic and jumping and euphoric). First, I want to say congratulations. Making it as an honors student at Hunter is no easy feat. I talked to Pam earlier (that's how I got all of your emails), and I was reminiscing about exactly one year ago on March 15, 2016 when I woke up around 6:30 to that email. It changed my life since. Let me share with you the unparalleled benefits of choosing Macaulay, particularly Macaulay@Hunter: 1. The staff really care about you. You will have a personal advisor who is not only doing his/her job, but also is rooting for your success. This is honestly my favorite part about Macaulay. The staff treat you like family, and you have countless resources that …show more content…
The Macaulay seminars are so amazing. In your first four semesters, you will take a Macaulay seminar per semester. Why are these seminars so great? Well, they really make you think about your place in our society, particularly NYC. The first seminar that I took last semester was called "The Arts of New York City." These seminars will make you explore NYC as your backyard. So, for that class, my classmates and I went to the opera, theater, spoken word performance, etc. Now, I am taking the second seminar called "Peopling of NY," in which I learn the patterns of migration in NYC, the importance of immigration in our society, etc. This is my favorite class thus far. It is also worth noting that your teachers, especially in your seminars, will be people who are professional in their field. The instructor for my Macaulay seminar this semester is a former Commissioner of the NYC Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs. Point is, those classes are enjoyable and more importantly, intriguing. 5. The Macaulay building is available to you. This building will be your home from day 1. Besides being extremely attractive, you have great resources at the building, such as a reading room and hangout …show more content…
Many, many more. ___ I want you to realize what this offer of admissions means. It means you are talented and full of potential (and many other good adjectives). It also means that you are likely to be offered admissions to many other institutions, some of which might even be top-tier schools. My best advice: follow your heart. Certainly, think about the financial aspect, but more importantly, ask yourself: where do you see yourself grow as an adult and academic? College is about becoming smarter and acquiring tools that you can use to change the world. From personal experiences, I think Macaulay can give you those tools. Okay, I'm done. I hope you got to read all of that. I am so excited to be a part of your journey to college, and I am certainly honored to introduce you all to the Macaulay program. Please email me if you have any questions, such as life at Brookdale (the residence hall) and anything,
My name is Kaha Salad and I am appealing my Satisfactory Academic Progress suspension. Autumn semester of 2013 was a difficult time for me, I was going through many different changes in my life and I just didn’t know how to adapt. I experienced a personal event in the summer of 2013 that made my life change forever. My Grandmother Khadija died, she was the light of my family’s lives. My mother was immensely affected by her death, she went into a state of depression and she then stopped working. I took it upon myself to help out my grieving mother and get a job to help pay with the bills that was piling up. I began working
The course, Chicano Studies 50, introduced me to many topics that I never was taught in high school. The differences between high school and college is that in college students are available to many courses and recourses to further develop their knowledge in their culture. Professor Montoya teaches his students in a deeper concept of how Chicanos ideals were developed in comparison to my previous course Chicano Studies 10. The course showed the class brief experiences of farmworker’s struggles and to movements Mexican-Americans decided to accomplish to provided better life for those who were undocumented and for them as well. Culture was introduced in a small description, but like Professor Montoya expressed “… would be impossible with a subject
I am exceptionally grateful for this opportunity to possibly be a member of this very prestigious organization. Every day I work tremendously hard to be noticed by both other scholars and my teachers. Now that an opportunity has come, I am truly excited to demonstrate and live by the values of The National Junior Honors Society. I hope to further expose and show both my dedication and want to join arms with my community and my peers and I wish to continue to work with passion and fire to shape the world into a brighter place.
The Wallan has been called a “friendly community” by members of the community, and it has good access to education.
I hope that you can see my education and future are advancing as we speak. This doesn’t mean I haven’t had a few bumps in the road, because I have. Actually, some of the bumps have unfortunately been financial aid. But, I am growing. It is a day to day continual experience of growth and it’s exciting for me to see where it takes me. Again, thank you for this opportunity and all the work you do as an organization.
There are many great concepts or takeaways from this seminar I could use as an example, but none more important than taking chances or listening to your gut instincts. Jack DeWitt and Edwin Craig understood this idea more than most, as it pertained to their dreams and professional goals. Additionally, the passion and drive of both, DeWitt and Craig, would be the catalyst which in turn sparked the sensation of the Music City. As a Nashville native, I never truly understood the rich history or “roots” of the city around me. Although I have always been proud of my city, I now have a deeper understanding of her struggle throughout those early years.
While the architecture of the building is also stunning, the artwork really has created an environment that encourages adventure and a sense of wonder, just like its name
A Guide To Eating Your Way Through New York City’s Chelsea Market For years, I’ve been making an annual pilgrimage to New York City. In that time, I can say that I’ve seen it all. I retraced my family roots on Ellis Island, toured the Statue of Liberty, felt like the mayor of New York at the Top of the Rock, and visited the best museums the city has to offer. Yet, I still find myself returning year after year. Why?
Chestnut Hill is always a stimulating, sociable, and sophisticated place for
Today, as we graduate, with degree nearly in hand, I challenge each of you to make a difference in whatever you do. Remember that life didn't end when we re-entered school. Life continued throughout our program. Even when stretched to the limit, life only got more challenging. And now, graduating, life only changes pace. Our degree completion is not really an ending as much as a new beginning as we re-enter our lives of work and home. We thank all of our family, friends, instructors and co-workers who helped see us through this process. Thank you for this opportunity and good luck to you all.
All I have seen is respect and appreciation among the staff. It is a company that works together and seek success within the company and within its
When you associate anything with New York City it is usually the extraordinary buildings that pierce the sky or the congested sidewalks with people desperate to shop in the famous stores in which celebrities dwell. Even with my short visit there I found myself lost within the Big Apple. The voices of the never-ending attractions call out and envelop you in their awe. The streets are filled with an atmosphere that is like a young child on a shopping spree in a candy store. Although your feet swelter from the continuous walking, you find yourself pressing on with the yearning to discover the 'New York Experience'.
I dormed my first year of college, and I know first-hand that having a great RA (resident assistant) makes all the difference. My RA was a great confidant who gave helpful advice because he had two years of experience in college already. He also held bi-weekly floor meetings to interact with the whole floor, and gave us information on upcoming events or new rules the university implemented. He also held events for us to have fun, whether it was bowling, or staying in for a movie night. However, many of friends commuted, and there were events for commuters such as a commuter cruise.
First of all, I'd like to welcome all the parents, relatives and friends, on behalf of the senior class. It has been a long, hard road to graduation and I know your presence here is greatly appreciated. My job as salutatorian is to reminisce on our past here at County High, a past that reads like a script of a soap opera.
Class of 2016, congrats to everyone! We did it, and always remember you will always be a piece in the big picture of our puzzle!
