My Experience At Eau Claire: College Experience

574 Words3 Pages

I am very interested in the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire after my experience touring the campus on October 21st. One of the most important aspects of college life, to me, is having an identity on campus. At many larger schools, I have felt lost, and as if I were to attend, I would just be another name in the crowd. However, at Eau Claire, I felt the almost polar opposite. I saw the unique personalities of the students around me, and I felt a very welcoming sense to the whole campus. Before I had even talked to anyone, I knew that I could stand out at Eau Claire. I knew that I would not be just another face in the crowd. And most importantly of all, I knew that I could accomplish big things in a place that I could comfortably call home for the next four years. …show more content…

I met with Accounting and Finance Assistant Professor, Dr. Ling Liu, and her ability to answer all of my questions gave me a strong sense of confidence that I could succeed at UW Eau Claire. The ability to meet with a professor, not a TA, with a question was one of the most important aspects that stood out to me. I am a very motivated learner, as well as a very sociable person, so being able to meet and interact with my professors is something that is very important to me. My wonderful tour guide, Bailey Mueller, spoke of her personal connection with a professor after asking a simple question after class. Her small question lead into an hour long conversation and an eventual research project, all just from a simple interaction. Her story exemplified the exact reason why I feel Eau Claire is the perfect fit for me. The welcoming atmosphere that I experienced at Eau Claire was almost overwhelming, making the decision very clear on where I want to spend the next four years of my

During the past few years, I have had many volunteer and leadership opportunities both in and outside of school. Truth be told, I’ve never been the most outgoing person, but many of these opportunities have helped me to step outside my comfort zone, and take leadership various situations.

From the numerous opportunities I may have, to the galvanizing escapades I can go on, UW Madison has the qualities, characteristics, and programs that define what an ideal college should possess. Last summer, my friends and I went on a college visit to the University. Ashley, our tour guide, exploited features that made UW Madison so special: the friendliness of staff and attending students, their academic programs, admission to any campus, housing, the Gordon Dining Hall (meaning you're never far from food), and the most delightful, ice cream! However, while these qualities that UW Madison attained made them a reputable public school, there were two qualities that made them outstanding, qualities that separate it from other schools: their academic excellence and welcoming atmosphere.

I am writing to apply to become a certified instructor for the UConn Early College Experience (the “UConn ECE”). My background and qualifications make me uniquely qualified to be a certified instructor for the UConn ECE as I have Masters Degrees (CAPITALIZATION???) in both education and Special Education and in addition to my high school teaching experience I also have twenty years’ experience teaching history at Hillyer College at the University of Hartford. I am passionate about history, which I believe is more about the study of historical developments and trends rather than the memorization of dates and facts. My enthusiasm for history is most evident when I am teaching as demonstrated by my highly energized and animated lecture

The bright colors of the autumn leaves and the brisk wind that hit against my face as I rolled the window of the car down to get a closer look at the sprawling campus I was passing as my father and I drove up a hill to the Skytop Parking Lot. Already, I was captivated by the environment and interested by the students walking around, discussing topics from their classes and different events going on that night on campus. I immediately felt comfortable and out of all the colleges I have visited, Syracuse is the one I can see myself starting the next chapter of my life at.

My grandfather, mother, and entire family were raised in Bellingham, Washington as was I. I can’t imagine going to any other school than Western Washington University.

I now realize that the only school I want to go to is Western. A few weeks ago I went to tour a few colleges in Eastern Washington.

After conducting an interview, with my TA Kilian Cooley, I gained valuable information, not only about a degree in mathematics or his experience, but in setting up meetings with the University of Maryland faculty. Creating a relationship with your professor/TA is vital to success in that class. I learned how college faculty differs from high school faculty, and how to address the issues this promotes. In college, often in large lectures, the TA is the most resourceful person to go to.

I am and always will be a Badger. Growing up, I have heard countless stories from my parents, both of whom attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison. These stories first encouraged me to look at this university: the legendary boating scare on lake Monona, the time they pulled two, back-to-back all nighters for a final, crazy nights at the Kollege Klub, and most importantly, meeting the love of their life. I fell in love just as they had. When I was younger, I was shown the “ins and outs” of the campus: multiple times.
